knew we had our most precious gift back. It will always be a journey

thriving, now aged 10. While she still has the allergies that require

us to carry an EpiPen, they have reduced in the last tests.

My heart is sad for those whose kids and families might also

be struggling and for those kids who are dealing with allergies, or

feeling like their brain is on fire, unable to control their behaviour.

They are not naughty – their body needs help.

Nutrition and skincare

I went on and studied for a Diploma in Nutrition, so I could learn

more about my family’s health and how I could help others. We are

so bombarded with chemicals and pesticides and in our food and

products that we kill off all our wonderful microbiome that keeps

us healthy! If we look after our beneficial microorganisms, they will

look after us. More and more research shows how they are essential

to us being healthy.

I now see clients and do home visits and I started a company

called Wild and Free, making a range of body care products

including balms, eye cream, bath salts, sunscreen,  clay mask and

clay scrub. I use homegrown, natural and organic ingredients

and they really work. Many people use them on their babies and

children and I’m so proud that they will nourish and heal with no

chemicals that will cause harm or burden the body.

Call of the wild

Four years ago we made the move to live rural and it was the best

thing we ever did. I feel that hunger and longing is gone, and my

kids have embraced the rural life and the outdoors. It’s so peaceful

and tranquil and we’re working towards being sustainable, organic

and chemical-free where we can.

I have just finished a course in herbalism and I am passionate

about learning more and growing a wider range of herbs for my

products. I’m excited about the future of natural health and organics

and helping others learn about them and helping clients get their

health back.

Thomas Fuller said, ‘Health isn’t valued until sickness comes’.

This has been incredibly true for me and is what drives my practice

and line of natural products. Let’s not wait until sickness comes, as it

is a hard and emotional road. Let’s nourish our bodies and our earth

so they will nourish and heal us.
