For most of my life, I really thought if everyone around me was okay, then I’d be okay too. Like my own wellbeing depended on everyone else being happy first. So I got really good at reading people. I could tell when someone’s mood changed, even if nothing was said. I’d adjust myself without thinking….

May 29 Is World Digestive Health Day
Every year on May 29, the World Gastroenterology Organisation marks World Digestive Health Day, a global initiative focused on raising awareness around digestive health and how often symptoms get overlooked or dismissed. This year’s theme is “Chronic Diarrhea: Don’t Flush the Signs Away,” which is really about paying attention to what the body is trying…
Small Moments in Seoul
There’s a moment I keep coming back to. I’m sitting in a small café in Seoul that’s quiet with a hum of people going about their day. Someone at the table next to me stands up, leaves their laptop open, their purse sitting right there on the seat, and just… walks away. To order. To…
My Colour Analysis Experience in Seoul
I’ve always gravitated toward blues, greens, and pastels. Cool, calm tones. If you looked at my wardrobe before this trip, that’s what you’d find, with maybe some occasional autumn shades, but never with real confidence. Red? Never. Gold jewellery? I always reached for silver. Then one day in Seoul, I sat in a small studio…
Things About Eating That Nobody Really Talks About
Not rules. Not a plan. Just seven quiet observations for anyone who’s doing everything right, and still wondering why something feels off. There was this one day I ate really well. Everything was pretty balanced, lots of colour, all the stuff you’re supposed to do. Breakfast made sense, lunch was solid, and I even skipped…
Pelvic Floor Weakness & Incontinence During Perimenopause and Menopause
Up to 1 in 3 women experience urinary incontinence before, during or after menopause. Have you ever laughed at a joke, sneezed unexpectedly, or jumped during a workout, and felt that sudden, mortifying leak? Or maybe you’ve started mapping out bathroom locations everywhere you go, just in case. If this sounds familiar, know this: what…
When Drinking More Water Isn’t the Answer
TCM has a really good explanation for this, and it’s not “drink more water”. Okay so here’s something that honestly confused me for the longest time. You can be drinking water constantly, like, doing everything right, carrying your Stanley cup everywhere, hitting your two litres, whatever it is, and still feel parched, have dry lips,…
Top Reasons to See a Holistic Nutritionist
A lot of people think seeing a nutritionist means sitting across from someone who’s going to hand you a meal plan and being told to eat more vegetables and drink more water like you haven’t heard that a hundred times already. But holistic nutrition is different. It looks at the whole picture: how you’re sleeping,…
Mental Health Is More Than a Mindset
May comes around every year with a lot more conversation about mental health. You’ll see posts, statistics, reminders to “check in on your people.” And yeah, it matters. But if I’m being honest, sometimes it can also feel a bit surface-level. Like we all agree mental health is important… but we don’t always slow down…
