The things I genuinely use and believe in

Build yourself a team you trust

If there's one thing I'd encourage anyone navigating their health to do, it's this. Gather a team of trusted practitioners around you.

Integrative, functional, and holistic professionals who work alongside your doctors, never instead of them. The more good people you have in your corner, each looking at you from their own angle, the better supported you are. For me, that team has been one of the most valuable parts of looking after myself.

Working with a nutritionist like Amanda has helped me make sense of the health system, understand my medical diagnostics, and learn how to support my body through nutrition, supplementation, movement, breath, and so much more. She doesn't replace my doctors. She works beside them, and that partnership has changed how I care for myself.

The strategy that changed things for me

Test, don't guess

One of the most powerful things I've put in place is simple. I have my bloods done every three months. My GP reads them and explains them to me, and then I take my own printed copy to Amanda, who deep-dives them a little differently, on her level. Between the two of them, I get two sets of trusted eyes on the same results.

From there, we adjust my supplementation based on what my blood is actually showing, so it's specific and personal to me rather than guessing and reaching for everything on the shelf. What my body needs in winter isn't what it needs in summer, and this lets me give it the right support at the right time of year.

At my worst, my daily routine was mostly pharmaceuticals, with very few supplements. Over three years, working closely between my GP and Amanda, and always guided by my blood work, that picture has slowly changed. Today it's the other way around, and I'm quietly proud of that.

I don't think there's a test Amanda offers that I haven't had done.

I want to be clear about something. Every change I've made was made with my doctor, for my body, based on my results. This is simply my story, not a path for anyone else to follow. Your team and your blood work will tell your own.

So here's the encouragement I'd leave you with. Get your bloods done with your GP. Ask for your own copy to keep. And if you can, find an integrative, holistic practitioner like Amanda to look over them with fresh eyes. Two perspectives on the same results can show you things you'd never see on your own.

The best thing you can do for your health is to stop walking it alone.

Tried & Loved · Bioresonance & PEMF

A frequency I already knew

Long before my own health journey, PEMF was part of my professional world.

When I trained as a dermal therapist, I studied a whole unit on PEMF. In my Cosmedic Clinics days I used it as part of my work with skin, and I came to know it well within that setting. So when this kind of technology came back into my life years later, it didn't feel foreign to me. It felt like meeting an old friend from a completely new direction.

What changed was my own perspective. When my health shifted and I began searching for ways to support my body, I found myself looking at this whole field again, this time not as a therapist treating skin, but as a person looking after herself. I did a great deal of my own research, reading widely, and what I'd learned years earlier opened up in a much broader way than I'd ever understood in the clinic.

The session that meant a trip to Adelaide

My research led me to want a particular kind of session with a particular practitioner, and at the time that meant a trip to Adelaide. So I made the journey across, and had my body scan and very first session while I was there.

From there I carried on remotely. Every fortnight for the first six weeks, then monthly. After a while I took a break of about six months, and in that time I noticed the difference its absence made for me. More recently I had a fresh session, and this time I didn't need to travel at all. I simply reached out to Megan and she was able to work with me remotely. I now see how important regular monthly sessions are for me, and they've become a quiet, steady part of how I look after myself.

A note on what I share here. In Australia, there are real limits on what any of us can say publicly about therapies like this, and I respect those limits. So you won't find me making claims on this page, and you won't find me explaining the ins and outs of how it all works. That's a conversation I'm always happy to have privately, one to one.

I don't make any medical claims. But I'm always happy to talk directly, just you and me, about my own experience with this modality.

PEMF at home

Alongside my sessions with Megan, I also have a PEMF device at home. I think of it as something complementary, not a substitute for anything, simply another gentle part of my own routine, in the same way as my red light therapy and my infrared sauna. I rest my feet on it for about thirty minutes at a time. I can't rush off while I do it, so I've turned that half hour into reading time. It's amazing how quickly thirty minutes goes by with a good book in your hands.

I won't name the particular device here, but as with everything on this page, if you're curious about what I use and why, my door is open. Reach out and ask me.
