Many of us wish for more time, often 24 hours in a day is just not enough! Post COVID-19 has intensified this for many who now have to somehow fit home schooling into an already gruelling schedule. With everything going on, who has the time to meditate right? But what if a daily meditation practice can actually create the illusion of more time.

Who’s Sprouting for Health?
Right now, we’re loving sprouting broccoli seeds because of their high Sulforaphane content. Sulforaphane is a natural plant compound found in many cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale. Paul Talalay, a researcher at John Hopkins, first realised Sulforaphane’s potential back in 1992. Since then, there have been over 1700 studies indicating the health benefits of Sulforaphane across a wide variety of diseases and concerns. It has been linked to health benefits, such as improved heart health and digestion. Sulforaphane may help with conditions such as cancer, diabetes and autism.

Is holistic health and wellbeing right for you?
An increasing number of people are embracing holistic health services now more than ever. The pandemic has highlighted the need to maintain good health, address certain health issues or generally work on boosting the immune system. Healthcare needs to move more towards a patient centred approach as opposed to the current symptom centred model that does not address the needs of the patient holistically. While conventional healthcare practices are essential for acute and in emergency situations, there are other options for long standing and chronic conditions. Here are some case studies which demonstrate how a holistic approach changed patients’ lives. Female, aged 32 – upper and lower gastrointestinal symptoms for…

Linda Curtis, a Holistic Room practitioner talks about her journey from being diagnosed with cancer, healing and now using her knowledge and experience to help others who are going through their own cancer journeys. What was your life like before you were diagnosed with Thyroid cancer?

You Deserve Better is hosting a Monthly Free Online Healing Call with Sharon Lawson
One of the most common thing my clients say to me is, “I’m so glad that I finally have someone I can talk to about this kinda stuff.” It’s not easy when we have an interest, curiosity, latent talents, a calling to make transformative change – but you don’t know anyone in your immediate circle of friends, family , community or colleagues who has the same interest, curiosity or calling. You can feel alone. You have a strong urge to follow your intuition, try a new path or ask new questions, but you don’t know anyone who has trodden the same path as you, you don’t have anyone who…
