Tap to send me your reflections ♡
Sophie is a holistic health coach with 30 yrs experience in the field of nutrition with a background in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Naturopathy.
She talks fondly and with deep respect of the training she completed with Barbara Wren who created the College of Natural Nutrition. And of how Barbara, now in her 80s, developed her own philosophy of health incorporating universal wisdom as well as diet and holistic paradigms such as naturopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and homeopathy.
During our conversation today, we talk of how hormonal imbalances can be influenced by the rhythms around us AND by our spiritual / psychological balance - and the value of bringing in the nutritional needs of the body, as a holistic approach.
Sophie shares her thoughts on how we are inextricably connected to the rhythms of the universe and when we dance with those rhythms we are in balance. She speaks of the impact of the lunar cycle and the equinoxes and solstices, the seasons, astrological changes as well as naturopathic techniques.
We also touch on John Gray’s work (and his recent book: Beyond Mars and Venus), where he shares the science behind our differences as men and women and the influence on our hormone balance. Sophie talks of how if a woman is too far on her masculine side, she will imbalance her hormones. And of how returning to her natural interdependent state to experience support and connection with another or others can, in turn, help adjust her hormonal balance.
As ever this is a wide and varied conversation and I hope there is something here for EVERYONE - regardless of gender. Because finding and continually adjusting to a state of balance in our lives is something that benefits us ALL.
