Retiring from toxic wellness doesn’t mean giving up on yourself.

There is so much beauty in caring for your health.

In feeding yourself well.
Moving your body.
Resting.
Getting support.
Choosing what helps you feel more like you.

The difference is the place it comes from.

Not fear.
Not shame.

But care.
Self-respect.
Love.

You are worth showing up for. ✨💕

Probably terrible marketing for a naturopath…

but I don’t want you to believe there is always something wrong with you.

Yes, testing matters.
Yes, deficiencies and disease exist.
Yes, sometimes we need to investigate.

But I also think we are pathologising the human experience.

Sometimes how you feel might be a completely normal response to a world that is overstimulating, exhausting and a little bit fu**ed.

I want to help you understand your body without making you afraid of it.

Practitioners are you feeling this tension too?

I wonder how many practitioners are quietly sitting in this same place.

Questioning the way we were taught to practise.

Questioning the constant search for dysfunction.

Questioning whether we have accidentally contributed to a culture that makes people feel like there is always something wrong with them.

And at the same time…

knowing that sometimes there is something important to find.

Sometimes the iron is low.

Sometimes the thyroid is struggling.

Sometimes the bloods explain why someone has felt awful for years.

That information matters.

This is the part I don’t think we talk about enough.

You can question the wellness industry without abandoning your clinical knowledge.

You can believe in testing without believing every symptom needs to become a pathology.

You can care about physiology and still care deeply about the person.

You can change your mind.

You can outgrow parts of your training.

You can realise that some of the things you once taught with certainty now need more nuance.

And you can admit that you contributed to a culture you are now trying to do differently.

I think a lot of us are unlearning.

Not because we were bad practitioners.

Because we are paying attention.

Maybe the goal was never to become the practitioner who has all the answers.

Maybe it is to become the practitioner who can sit with someone long enough to remember that the answer is not always hidden in another test, another supplement, another protocol.

And still know when the test matters.

That middle ground is uncomfortable.

But I think there is something really important there.

For the practitioners questioning everything right now:

maybe you are not losing your way.

Maybe you are refining what you actually believe.

Practitioners — what part of our industry are you quietly questioning right now?

I’m not sharing this for sympathy.

I’m sharing it because I felt so much shame.

Shame that I was struggling again.
Shame that I couldn’t “fix” myself.
Shame that I’m a naturopath whose job is to help other people feel better, while I was quietly falling apart behind the scenes.

There was this voice in my head saying:

Who are you to help anyone when you can’t even help yourself?

And that shame made everything heavier.

This is why I want to talk about it.

Because depression doesn’t care what you do for work.
It doesn’t care how much you know about health.
It doesn’t care how self-aware, capable or “well” you appear.

You can be deeply knowledgeable about the human body and still be human.

You can support other people and still need support yourself.

You can be good at your job and still go through a season where you are not okay.

I don’t want mental illness to be something we only talk about once we’ve recovered and can package it into a neat little lesson.

Sometimes destigmatising it means saying:

This is happening to me too.

And I refuse to be ashamed of it.

A diagnosis can explain what you’re experiencing without becoming an explanation of who you are.

That separation has been such an important practice for me.

To notice when I’ve taken something happening in my body or mind and turned it into:
“I’m failing.”
“I’m broken.”
“There’s something wrong with me.”

There is so much freedom in remembering:

This is something I am experiencing. It is not all that I am.

You can seek answers, support and healing without making yourself the problem.

Sometimes healing looks like loosening the grip, dropping the judgement and meeting the human underneath it all with a little more grace.

This feels vulnerable to admit, but I can see how my own disordered thinking around health has shaped the way I spoke about wellness.

I’ve been part of the problem.

I don’t want to contribute to more fear, more black-and-white thinking, or more women feeling like their bodies are projects to perfect.

I want health to feel expansive. Human. Nuanced.

Something that supports your life not consumes it.

Has the pursuit of “wellness” ever made you feel less well?

Postpartum care needs to be more than a six-week check.

We are already in a maternal health crisis.

We need proper follow-up, blood work when indicated, protected sleep, practical support, doulas, community, financial support and places mothers can go before they reach breaking point.

Modern medicine and the village.

Both.

Because caring for the mother is caring for the whole family.

I wasn’t sure whether to speak about this.

At the centre of the Lindsay Clancy case are three children whose lives were tragically lost, and a family living with unimaginable grief. My deepest condolences are with everyone who loved them. Nothing about this conversation should minimise the horror of what happened.

But something about this case has lit a fire inside me.

Because women are constantly told to ask for help.

And women are asking.

They are seeing doctors. Taking medication. Going to therapy. Saying they’re not coping. Saying something feels wrong.

The question is: what happens next?

Who is monitoring her?
Who is joining the dots?
Who notices when treatment isn’t helping?
Who reassesses when she is deteriorating?
Who supports the family around her?
Who protects the mother and the children?

Medication can be lifesaving. But women deserve more than a prescription.

They deserve continuity. Follow-up. Monitoring. Practical support. Answers. And healthcare that sees the whole woman.

And underneath all of this is the shame so many mothers carry — the fear that admitting you are struggling somehow means you are failing.

It doesn’t.

We need a system where a woman can say “I am not okay” and know that something meaningful will happen next.

This is bigger than one woman, one family, one doctor or one medication.

It is a systemic issue in women’s healthcare.

And women are angry.

We have had enough of having to scream to be heard.

We deserve support.
We deserve answers.
We deserve help.
We deserve better.

Sometimes the search for answers becomes another burden the body has to carry.

Your symptoms are real. Your suffering is real. But you did not create your illness, and healing is not another self-improvement project.

Maybe the question isn’t always, what else is wrong with me?
Maybe it’s, what have I become disconnected from?

What are you ready to come back to?

Maybe healing was never meant to be completely understood.

Maybe some of it is energetic. Ancient. Intuitive. Wild.

Plants move things we cannot always name. They soften, awaken, clear, ground, restore and reconnect us to something older than us.

Maybe the magic was never the problem.

Have you experienced the magic herbal medicine?
