Seasonal Living

As the seasons shift, so too does our internal landscape. Each time of year brings unique challenges and opportunities for renewal. When we attune our bodies and minds to nature’s rhythm, healing flows more effortlessly.

The body’s systems, from digestion and immunity to hormones and energy  are deeply influenced by seasonal transitions. Symptoms like fatigue, allergies, digestive discomfort, low mood, or stress may surface as we move through the year.
By working with the seasons, we can prevent imbalance, restore harmony, and support optimal health.

My approach weaves together the wisdom of Naturopathy, Kinesiology, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Wellbeing Coaching to create a personal pathway to seasonal balance, resilience, and vitality:

• Naturopathic support to nourish foundational health with food, herbs, and lifestyle practices  
• Kinesiology techniques to identify and clear energetic blocks or emotional stress patterns  
• Ayurvedic wisdom tailored to your dosha and the seasonal qualities  
• Chinese Medicine insights based on seasonal organ systems and Five Element theory  
• Wellbeing Coaching to support mindset, goals, and emotional alignment as the year unfolds  

Whether you're feeling out of sync, dealing with recurring seasonal symptoms, or simply wanting to deepen your connection to nature and self, these sessions offer guidance and renewal.

Spring is the season of renewal and upward movement, a time to shake off the stagnation of Winter and activate new energy. 

In Chinese Medicine, the liver governs Spring, making it an ideal time to support detoxification, decision-making, and emotional expression.

In Ayurveda, the lingering heaviness of Kapha begins to melt away, while Pitta energy begins to rise. This is the ideal time for gentle cleanses, liver-supportive herbs, and bitter greens to stimulate digestion and elimination.

Support may include:

• Liver-cleansing foods and herbs
   
• Movement practices to stimulate qi and lymph
   
• Emotional release work to support the Wood element's flow
   
• Kinesiology balancing for frustration, indecision, or irritability
   
• Coaching to set new intentions and navigate life transitions

Summer is the most expansive season, full of energy, connection, and joy. 

Governed by the heart and small intestine in Chinese Medicine and ruled by Pitta dosha in Ayurveda, Summer is a time when heat (both literal and emotional) can build-up.

This season calls for cooling foods, light movement, emotional balance, and heart-centred living. It’s also a time to enjoy life, deepen relationships, and express passion without tipping into burnout or overdrive.

Support may include:

• Cooling herbs and foods
   
• Practices to balance overactive Pitta (perfectionism, anger, and inflammation)
   
• Heart and emotional balancing (joy, connection, and rest)
   
• NLP and hypnotherapy for calm and clarity
   
• Coaching to explore creativity, love, and personal expression

Late-Summer is a short yet significant season governed by the Spleen and stomach in Chinese Medicine and deeply connected to the Earth element. 

In Ayurveda, this is a transitional time where both Kapha and Pitta may be present. It’s a season for centring, nourishing, and rebalancing after Summer’s activity.

This is a powerful time to focus on digestion, both physical and emotional, and to build healthy routines and supportive boundaries. Earth energy encourages simplicity, self-care, and rootedness.

Support may include:

• Warm, grounding foods
   
• Digestive herbs and spices
   
• Energetic practices to restore centre and stability
   
• Addressing overthinking, worry, or depletion
   
• Coaching around boundary-setting and self-worth

Autumn brings crisp air, falling leaves, and an invitation to release. In Chinese Medicine, the lungs and large intestine rule this season, they guide breath, immunity, and elimination. 

Ayurveda describes Autumn as Vata season, cool, dry, and mobile, calling for warmth, structure, and grounding.

This is a time of inward reflection and preparation, ideal for boosting the immune system, releasing grief or clutter (emotional and physical), and cultivating stillness.

Support may include:

• Lung-supporting herbs
   
• Warming, moistening foods
   
• Emotional processing around grief, change, and letting go
   
• Balancing and grounding rituals
   
• Coaching to realign priorities and simplify life

Winter invites deep rest and inner stillness. In Chinese Medicine, the kidneys and bladder are central to Winter,  holding our core energy and ancestral vitality. 

Ayurveda aligns Winter with Kapha and Vata, depending on your environment, with themes of cold, damp, and stillness.

This is a season to go inward, replenish reserves, and strengthen your foundation. Slowing down, eating nourishing foods, and embracing restorative practices are key to thriving in the cold months.

Support may include:

• Warming, nourishing foods
   
• Adaptogenic and kidney supporting herbs

• Practices to enhance sleep, stillness, and introspection
   
• Emotional support around fear, uncertainty, or loneliness
   
• Coaching to explore long-term vision and inner purpose
