Every Tuesday throughout January I am sharing my personal ‘go-to’ self-love support tools because I am a big believer that what you ingest – whether that’s what you read, watch, listen to or swallow – contributes to your mental, emotional and physical health in equal measures.
I am super interested in the mind / body connection and today’s self-love tools reflect that. If this is new territory for you then I am so excited for you! Discovering and understanding the link between how you feel and what you think is a total game changer.
Dive in!
BOOK
Body Calm – by Sandy C Newbigging
I refer nearly all of my clients to this book. The mind/body connection is absolutely incredible and through our coaching I have witnessed my clients heal an array of physical problems ranging from severe back and joint pain to M.E. and chronic fatigue to asthma to sexual disfunction. The appendix in the back of Sandy’s book is a bible for identifying the emotional / mental connection to physical dis-ease.
I invited Sandy onto my podcast and interviewed him. You can listen to that interview by clicking > HERE.

CARD DECK
Know Yourself – Cards For Self Exploration – by The School Of Life
These cards are designed to assist us in a journey of self-knowledge; they present us with a range of ideas and questions that can help us to understand ourselves better. Each card carries an exercise on one side and a piece of analysis on the reverse to help you gain insight and clarity on that ever elusive subject: yourself.
These cards are part of an array of tools I always take on the retreats I host – they are a great conversation starter amongst the women who attend.
TED TALK
Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are – Amy Cuddy
Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy argues that “power posing” — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can boost feelings of confidence, and might have an impact on our chances for success.
INTERVIEWS
Her first book, Heal Your Body, was published in 1976, long before it was fashionable to discuss the connection between the mind and body. Revised and expanded in 1988, this best-selling book introduced Louise’s concepts to people in 33 different countries and has been translated into 25 languages throughout the world. Through Louise’s healing techniques and positive philosophy, millions have learned how to create more of what they want in their lives, including more wellness in their bodies, minds, and spirits.
SUPPLEMENTS
The most successful cleanse I have ever done was the Wild Nutrition ‘Women’s Total Cleanse’ programme. It literally changed my life and ever since my eating habits completely altered to support me positively on all levels – mental, emotional and physical.
