Industry Deep Dives - Naturopathy

This episode is close to my heart and one I was so excited to record! Being a qualified aromatherapist, I really wanted to peel back the veil and introduce you to the amazing therapeutic uses of essential oils. I chat with Melbourne Aromatherapist and Author Pat Princi-Jones about the endless ways essential oils can benefit your life. It is not just the scent that makes you feel good, each oil has a unique set of therapeutic benefits which come from the plant which they have been extracted from. Join me as I nerd out with Pat about the beautiful, magical, plant extracts we call essential oils and discuss her book “A Scented Life”.

Join me as I introduce you to the many ways you can use Rosemary in your life! From the culinary setting, to aromatherapy, this herb has an abundance of benefits. 

During this episode I sit down with Sarah Paterson, Bachelor qualified Naturopath and owner of The Woodside Apothecary. We discuss the difference between natural and conventional medicine, how you can use herbs to improve your wellbeing and bust some of the myths around seeing a Natural Medicine practitioner.  Join me as I chat with Sarah about Naturopathy and beyond. 

Today's Plant Profile is all about Eucalyptus! A powerful decongestant and expectorant. Eucalyptus is native to Australia. It has rich history, plays home to hundreds of native animals and has interesting growth habits which have seen it survive hundreds of years in harsh climates. Join me as we chat All Things Botanical.

During this episode we chat with Sarah & Ruan, husband and wife duo behind Melbourne artisan tea company Impala & Peacock. Sarah is a qualified Tea Sommelier and Ruan is a world tea tasting champion. Both have travelled all around the world to study and sample every tea and herb you could dream of and now run a successful tea wholesale business in Melbourne. I learnt so much during my chat with Sarah & Ruan and invite you to join me as we discuss all things Camellia Sinensis plant and beyond! Prepare to have your mind blown :) 

Join me as we continue our Plant Profile series, where I teach you the botanical name, plant family, therapeutic uses & benefits and some interesting history of common herbs, essential oils and plants so you can bring more botanicals into your life. On this episode, we focus on Passionflower, a powerful nervine which can help improve sleep and reduce stress and anxiety. Join me, as we chat, All Things Botanical. 

Welcome to our first Industry Deep Dive. Each fortnight we will hear the journeys of those who have made a career out of working with plants. First up, my Dad. A Horticulturalist and business owner for over 30 years. Not only does he have an infectious smile and wicked sense of humour, the man can identify just about any plant I ask him about, and still refers to them by their botanical name! Join me as I chat with Dad, about Horticulture and beyond.

In this episode we start our Plant Profile series: fortnightly features of my personal Herbal Monographs. I will put a spotlight on a favourite herb, essential oil or plant and teach you the botanical name, plant family, therapeutic uses and benefits. I'll also cover some interesting history and share some tips on how to use each plant so you can learn how to bring more botanicals back into your life.  Join me as we start with one of my favourites, Lavandula angustifolia, common name: Lavender.
