PAP 34: Maria Zuschmann – The Queen of Stress, soulful success and fun!

Oh boy did I have a heap of fun recording this episode!  I met Dr M at the Wellness Base Camp in Kiama in June and we got along like a house on fire.  I love Maria’s down to earth message which is a combo of her personal experience and her professional knowledge.
What if stress wasn’t a bad thing?
What if we didn’t all need to be getting stressed out about how stressed out we are?
Cor – isn’t that like a big relief??
Maria Zuschmann, Dr M as she is affectionately known, has a passion for helping the community to feel and function better in all aspects of their lives and help them identify and remove interferences that are holding them back from their goals.
Dr M speaks and teaches with humour, warmth and realness whilst having the amazing ability to make what may seem complex into easy and simple action steps to help you take your life to the next level. She has been in the Health and Wellness industry for over 20 years.
Outside of her hands on work in her Chiropractic practice she is a sort after speaker and has facilitated 100s of wellness workshops over the last 14 years.
She has mentored other business owners from around Australia and is an award winning Business Woman. Dr M is Chiropractor, Speaker, Podcaster, Personal Performance Coach, Director of Inner Edge Wellness in Shellharbour, NSW.

PAP 30: EMMA TURTON – HOW TO BE YOUR OWN MEDICAL INTUITIVE, CLEAN EATING & HIGH VIBING

We are all here to become experts in ourselves – well what if you could lift that level of expertise up a notch?  What if you could become your own Medical Intuitive?  What if you could listen to and understand the messages behind the symptoms of your chronic health issues?  What if you could experience a health breakthrough, not just through diet and lifestyle, but by examining thought patterns or upper limiting beliefs?
Well now you can!
Emma Turton is a Medical Intuitive. She is one of a rare breed: both a science geek and an intuitive badass. Combining an extensive scientific background in health with a powerful non-local intuitive connection, Emma elevates her clients to overcome life’s obstacles with ease so they can access the deep connection with their soul that is their birthright. 
 
Whilst working as a Physiotherapist, Nutritionist and University Lecturer, Emma realised that she was accessing her clients’ bigger picture with her innate intuitive abilities. In doing so she uncovered a ground-breaking approach to health that is set to change the global paradigm for disease management. 
 
Emma views health as a tool for awakening consciousness, and her many clients’ success stories speak volumes about how well this approach works. Emma’s own journey from chronic health crisis to totally healed was what put the fire in her belly about deepening into the meaning behind our symptoms and the intuitive guidance encoded in our physiology. 
 
Currently writing a book that will change the way we view our bodies, Emma is a sought-after intuitive guide, body-to-soul translator and educational speaker.

PAP 26: LUCY LICHTENSTEIN – ASTHMA, WOMEN’S CIRCLES & RECONNECTING TO OUR TRUE NATURE

Lucy Lichtenstein is a Sydney-based wellness writer, yoga teacher, women’s circle facilitator and podcast host of the Reconnected.me Podcast.
Lucy is also a philosophy geek, writer of conscious poetry, foodie, nature lover, adventurer, ecstatic dancer and mover.
One of the turning points in Lucy’s journey was in 2010 when she was volunteering in communities in Denmark and Malawi and noticed the poor nutrition in both areas she was living. She noticed how much this really affected her, and it was in this realisation that something deep within was sparked that changed the game completely. This sent Lucy down the path of nutrition and health, continuously looking at what humans require to be healthy by living as closely to our natural design as possible in a modern context, according to nature’s way.
I love how Lucy talks about why we should ‘go backwards’ to find our true nature and how nature is not outside us but rather: we are nature.
Lucy talks us through what she ate for lunch and how going grain free CURED HER ASTHMA!
Lucy shares some of her non negotiable lifestyle tricks that keep her centered, grounded and present.
She explains how “connection is hard wired in us” and why holding space with other women in circle creates a safe space, without judgement, where no advice is given can be a beautiful human experience.
You are going to love Lucy’s relaxed voice and calmness!  Enjoy this episode to further explore how health is SO MUCH MORE than just the food we put in out mouths.
Follow Lucy on Instagram and Facebook.
Find out about her Women’s Circles Here.
Tune in to the Reconnected.me podcast.
If you have a passion for clean living, love creating in the kitchen, serving your community, making a difference & connecting with like minded women and feeling part of something – you will love being a Primalista!

Verity Mansfield is a transformational coach, mentor and self love advocate.
She is the founder of A Beautiful Truth, which supports women holistically to acknowledge the true beauty within, through coaching, on-line programs and workshops.
As a qualified Counsellor, Life Coach (ICF certified) and Reiki healer, Verity weaves together her knowledge of healing, spiritualism, counselling, coaching (with NLP and Matrix therapy practices) to offer a holistic approach to healing – helping women to transform their lives from the inside out.
With 20 years of exploring the concepts of beauty (including the international fashion industry), self-love and self-transformation, her own life experiences have enabled her to teach other women how to embrace their strengths and live life on their own terms.
Divorced and caring for two young daughters, what seemed like a crisis was actually a beautiful turning point in her life. Gathering all her resources, pouring herself into a journey of self-healing and self-transformation, she created her own path to fulfilment, learning how to empower, transform, and rescue herself.
Verity Mansfield now works in assisting other women through their own journey of self-love and empowerment as they awaken to their own fulfilment. She firmly believes in working towards creating generations of empowered women, to create real change and real beauty in the world.

PAP 23: ALEXX STUART – LOW TOX LIFE, MAKING IT EASY & HOW YOU CAN DO IT TOO

When we embark on our health journey it can be quite confronting not to mention overwhelming to realise that the seemingly innocent foods, personal hygiene & cleaning products in our homes can actually be creating an unhealthy toxic load on our bodies.
Alexx Stuart of Low Tox Life tells us about her light bulb moment that occurred in a super market one day and how this dawn of realisation literally ‘hurt her brain’.
Luckily for us, Alexx is a self-confessed nerd, geek and researcher and has done all the hard work for us and put it together in a doable and sustainable way – phew!
In this episode Alexx says it’s OK to feel overwhelmed and duped and explains some simple tips for getting started including JUST ONE THING to get started with and it’s getting rid of products containing phthalates. If you have weight, adrenal, thyroid or other hormonal issues then going Low Tox might be the missing piece in your health picture. And don’t worry – it doesn’t mean you need to re mortgage your house or never go out again!
In this jam packed awesome episode we cover heaps of ‘need to know’ info including information about fertility, cosmetics, scented candles, mould, food, personal hygiene, cleaning and of course we get to find out with Alexx had for breakfast and her stance on alcohol, wine and chocolate.
Be as cool as my Mam and try Alexx’s Go Low Tox Course for yourself, next one starts in February. For sign up and information about Alexx ’s Real Food Rockstar & Pre Conception Ninja Courses head to www.lowtoxlife.com
