What Is Your Theme For This Year?

by Leisa on January 7, 2015

Following on from Rhianna’s “No Resolutions 2015” post yesterday, I wanted to share my own thoughts about the New Year, which funnily enough are very much along the same lines as Rhi! (which we only realised after we both started writing very similar blog posts!) Being a brand new year, it is a wonderful time

The Value of Authenticity

by Leisa on December 3, 2014

I’ve just come back from running a quite extraordinary Embracing Health Retreat, and one of the themes that came up time and again when talking to the guests, was that of authenticity.

by Leisa on November 3, 2014

Don’t you just love it when science ‘discovers’ something natural medicine has known and been practicing for thousands of years – and then takes credit for that ‘discovery’? It totally drives me crazy! But that is the nature of the scientific world – it is very rare that they ever give a nod to the

by Leisa on April 3, 2012

One of my friends recommended for me to watch this movie, and wow! It’s along the same lines of ‘The Secret’ but takes it to a whole other level. They are having the Australian Premier very shortly, and you can register here for tickets! It is definitely something you don’t want to miss out on

Ok everybody – this is it! On the topic of detoxification, one of the questions I get asked about the most is anything and everything to do with colonics. For those who have never experienced a colonic, the thought of it is both daunting and a mystery. It’s an experience that people are not always comfortable talking about.

Who Knew Raw Could Taste So Good?

by Leisa on May 24, 2011

The common misconception that a raw food diet is boring and bland, was well and truly thrown out the window at our last retreat with Raw Food Chef Julie Mistios from Conscious Choice. I’ve gotten to know Julie fairly well, working with her on both David Wolfe Tours and the Dr Sherrill Sellman Events, and
