Time for Me (of Kenilworth)

12/08/2026

When I first started practicing psychology, I sat across from people who could not function. Who couldn’t stay awake during their sessions due to being over-medicated, and who were still desperate for relief despite treatment. People who wanted help and didn’t get a blueprint for how the body and mind are connected. And how we have to use protocols to heal the body in order to become well.

That clinical experience changed my life. It made me a dedicated student. I devoted myself to learning more and devoured all I could on nutrition, the gut, and trauma. And in the haze of my own brain fog and depression, I finally started to see a way out as I put into practice everything I learned.

Everything that was left out of my PhD program.

Many people belief I’m a torch the system person. I am not. I support a wide modality of treatment. Contrary to what people say I believe, I support and have treated, countless people who take medication. I’m open to what people tell me they experience. And, I believe that people are their own best experts on what works. Especially when they’re fully informed. Especially when they get the whole story, including the story that their body is a miraculous, selfhealing vessle.

Mental illness has been heavily marketed as a chemical imbalance. As a simple “broken brain” concept that’s handed down genetically, leaving us powerless and destined to simply manage symptoms. We ignore the well-studied placebo effect. The power of belief. And the incredible power of gut and mitochondrial healing.

The system tells one chapter of a story, and that leaves people in the dark about what steps they need to take. And how they can take them. That darkness is what inspired me to bring the greatest experts into selfhealerscircle to teach what I wish I had access to when I needed it most.

My heart is with anyone going through the darkness right now. It’s with people who have been shrugged off and left hopeless. My respect is with all the educators out there teaching with passion and purpose— gifting content every day on these platforms to bring the truth to people who need it most

The pain is often the reason we seek treatment, but it isn't always where the underlying problem begins.

Bowen Therapy takes a whole body approach, looking beyond the symptoms to understand how adaptations, compensations, restrictions and tensions throughout the body may be contributing to pain.

In clinic I am looking at aligning structure, encouraging balance and helping your whole body to connect and function more efficiently.

If you're struggling with aches, pains, high stress, poor sleep or other issues perhaps it's time to take a closer look?

A thought for the weekend? Make time for you and yours with this self-help?

In today’s world, people’s nervous systems are under such stress. People are beyond their capacity which means even every day stressors can push people into behaviors they wouldn’t normally do. Minor incidents can become extreme confrontations. Things can spiral quickly.

Emotional regulation can save your life. Knowing how to focus on your breathing and consciously choosing to stay neutral is self protection.

There are so many senseless acts that happen every day when people can’t self regulate. Sometimes in a matter of minutes peoples lives are changed forever. Sometimes generations are changed forever from one dysregulated reaction.

Slow your breathing. Move your eyes up and down and side to side. This will help with the racing thoughts and tunnel vision. Walk quickly and release the sympathetic energy. Don’t defend. Don’t engage. Protect your nervous system, you are worth it

Be heat aware!

🌡️ Do you know the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke?

With high temperatures forecast for today and the rest of the week, it's important to recognise the signs of heat-related illness and know when someone needs urgent help.

✅ Heat exhaustion can usually be treated by moving to a cooler place, drinking fluids and resting
🚨Heat stroke is a medical emergency and can be life-threatening. If someone has a very high temperature, becomes confused, loses consciousness or has a seizure, call 999 immediately.

Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the symptoms in our graphic - it could help you protect yourself, a family member, friend or neighbour during the current hot weather.

Remember to:
💧Drink plenty of water
🌳Stay in the shade where possible
👕Where light, loose-fitting clothing
☀️Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day
👩‍🦳Check on older relatives, neighbours and anyone who may be vulnerable to the heat

Knowing the difference could help save a life.
