Natural Wellness 4 life

From when I was a young child I was noticeably taller and heavier than my class mates, as a result by the time I hit my teenage years I was very self-conscious of my appearance. This led to me trying many different “Diets” to help me overcome the difficulties I was having with body image.

During this time, I started to skip meals, exercising for many hours a day in an attempt to reach what I saw as the ‘ideal’ size; which was small, dainty and petite. However, at 170cm with a large frame this resulted in me becoming very underweight.

This changed when I was 19 and conceived my first child. The Doctor made it clear that I needed to gain weight, or I was at risk of losing my unborn child. I took his advice seriously. After the birth of my children in my early 20’s I was a little overweight but with 4 children, a husband and a hobby farm to look after I was too busy to notice.

I had developed an interest in organic products when I was in my teens. This interest intensified as we developed our hobby farm. My interest in natural health developed after two of my children were diagnosed with ADHD and my youngest with Autism. I found that by making changes to our diet, my children’s behaviour and focus improved. This allowed me to manage the challenges that I faced more easily. Over time, I completed the Advanced Diploma in Agriculture with a focus on organic farming. we were growing most of our own food and except for the occasional cold we were all healthy.
