I DID IT! 🥳👩‍🎓 I’m a qualified Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist! Level 6 with merit baby! ✨

But wow, what a rollercoaster the last 3.5+ years have been! When I first signed up to this course I’m not entirely sure what I thought it would entail. Having come from an arty background being thrown in the deep end of biomedicine, biochemistry 🔬🩻🧪 and a whole new world of nutraceuticals 🥦🧄🫐 was a shock. (I initially only wanted to only do the year long health coach course but was persuaded by one of @collegeofnaturopathicmedicine team to do the full three year Nutrition diploma😂).

I had quite a few breakdowns (magnesium and Ashwaganda on tap iykyk) really doubting myself if I could actually do this, but my support system was always there to bolster and encourage me, especially my family ❤️. I persevered and although it took me 6 more months than I had envisioned, I’m grateful for the experience. I’ve learnt a lot about myself, about my strength and where I need to work on my weaknesses. 💪 I’m also very aware of the absolute privilege and how blessed I’ve been having completed TWO tertiary qualifications in my lifetime. 🙏🙏

I’ve taken a real interest in Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics so I’m currently on a short course becoming a qualified paractioner for that via @lifecodegx. I hope to focus on mental health and how gut health plays such a big part in our overall health. There is always more to learn in this field and so being curious and open is what I aim to be. ❤️

I’m ready to take on this new chapter of my life, this new challenge, and help people live their best, vibrant lives! 🥳🤩

And thanks to all the lovely people I met on my journey, so excited to see where everyone goes and grows! ❤️

2 years in Bristol, UK today. 🤯

It’s felt long and hard, short and easy, depending on the day 😄 I’m still very grateful to be here though! Not in a million years would I have thought I would be here AND studying again if you had asked me 3 years ago. Funny how life is.

But I am keen for some real sunshine in Dec in SA 😂 ☀️ 🏖

What does a person struggling with depression look like?

It’s #MentalHealthAwareness month. I was going through old pics and vids from 2017, and I realised that they nearly all show the happy, calm, fun or exciting moments. There are hardly any pics that could tell someone looking from the outside that I was seriously suffering mentally. I mean hell, most people around me wouldn’t have known that it got to a point where I was sitting in my car on a cliff thinking about ending it all - this was 26 May 2017. I had gone to gym that day, I had eaten, I had showered, and then I had cried in my car on a cliff for a hour until my mom phoned me and quiet literally talked me off the ledge. I felt like I wasn’t going anywhere with my life, I thought I was failing at just being a human being (mostly coz i couldn’t hold down a relationship lol). I messed up friendships and hurt people, because I was essentially so self involved in the depression that I couldn’t “get out of myself”. So inwardly looking that I couldn’t see what was ACTUAL reality.

That year I got to do amazing things, it’s a year I don’t think I’ll ever forget. I got to have a small stint in the stunt world, working on Outlander (S3), going to sword fighting workshops, and having the most awesome people teach me cool things like how to take a (stunt) punch. But in the actual moment I didn’t appreciate it enough. I will forever be grateful for that year because it was one of my best, and one of my absolute worsts.

I still struggle with all these feelings, anxiety being tops, depression occasionally and still thinking I haven’t really amounted to much. But hindsight is 20/20 and good for me to actually show myself that I’ve done cool ass shit, and I should be proud of myself for even getting myself out of those dark days. So this is a little tribute to the cool shiz I’ve done and also deserved a spot on the grid!

P.s. Thank you to everyone that year for any sort of part you had in my life. ❤️

P.p.s. Making this made me yearn for all these fun activities!

A little life ponder 💭

I can feel the seasons changing 🍁 and although I love summer, and this one has been amazing weather wise, I feel like autumn is in someway a good time to go inward while still building and refining what we really want.

Ive know for a while I am my biggest opponent, my own voice is the negative one in my head, I am the one who puts me down, I’m the negative Nancy to my own life. I would never speak to anyone the way I speak to myself. I’m so privileged and thankful to the people around me as they are always there cheering on, thinking I’m awesome, especially when I can’t see it myself.

I constantly have thoughts of “there is always someone better, smarter and more experienced than I am”, and so I let myself down by then giving up or doing the bare minimum for myself. Although I want myself to succeed and reach my goals I’m often the one blockading my own way. I have a major comparison monster 👹.

So, I’m trying a new way of thinking, of backing myself, thinking yeah I am pretty awesome and I can do this, even if it’s hard and my heart and brain don’t quite believe it 😅. If my life right now reflects my choices, then I need to choose differently while still sticking to my ethics and true self.

Will let you know how it goes 😆

I just loved this little guy so much wanted to put him on my grid ✨🌊☀️✨

Summer has been absolutely stunning down here - long hot days, multiple dips in the sea, going out without a jacket or anything! But I won’t lie I’m now seriously praying for rain 🌧️ this little island needs water, and soon!

The beautiful Seven Sisters chalk cliffs 😍
We’ve had a cold snap today and I did not wear enough under that jacket 🥶 but was really nice to walk over the grassy hills even though it was moody weather. 🩵

Hastings Jack in the Green Festival 🍃Celebrating the arrival of summer and fertility. There was such a vibrant parade with Morris dancers, amazing costumes, giants and drummers, and a final ceremony of “slaying” the jack in the green to release the spirit of summer ☀️🎊✨

To my dearest Dad, I love you so much! Happy 70th Birthday! I’m so sad I’m not with you today, but know I’m there in spirit, wishing you the best day and the best year ahead. Now please carry on for another 30 years, thanks! 😂😍❤️🥰✨🥳

✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨

I want to tell you a few things about my amazing dad❤️ He’s one of the most stoic and steady people I know, a real rock, and truly one of my best friends. 🤗 His unwavering support has carried me through more than a few moments in life. 🙈

He can come across quiet and reserved, but give him a couple of drinks at a party and suddenly he’s on the dance floor, squeaking some tekkie like no one’s watching.🕺🏼 His dry humour and playful side have a way of catching people off guard and leaving them laughing. 😜

He’s an incredible cook, 👨‍🍳 can fix most things 👨🏼‍🔧, and has one of the strongest work ethics I’ve ever seen. He’s also an amazing woodturner, creating the most beautiful pieces that are often very practical, just like him. He packs a car like it’s a competitive sport 🚗, and he’s got the kind of quiet intelligence that probably belongs in Mensa.

He’s the best travel companion, and always appreciates a well-earned beer at the end of the day 🍻 I’m so privileged to call him Dad, and I’m grateful for him everyday. ❤️❤️❤️
