Hello Lovely People,
I've got news I've been holding onto with a very big smile, and I wanted you to be the first to hear it properly - not just in a quick post, but the whole story because none of this happens without you and it makes all the hard work worth it.
We've just been named winners at this year's Platinum Awards - the annual awards run by Janey Lee Grace, the broadcaster and natural health advocate who was such a wonderful keynote speaker at our last Health Hub, celebrating the very best in natural health and wellbeing. And we didn't just win once. We won twice!

HEALTH & WELLBEING EVENTS - WINNER
The Wellness Way Festival
|
|
|
Quite honestly, I still can't quite put how I feel about the festival into words. Being introduced onto the stage by my own daughters is a moment I'll carry with me forever, and seeing so many of my podcast guests together in one place, in person, at last really showed me how far I've come. But it was the transformation I watched happen right in front of me, and hearing "I've finally found my community" over and over again, that told me we'd built something real.
None of it happens without the team who pulled off what genuinely felt unimaginable, Wasing Park for trusting me with this first iteration, and every speaker, performer, facilitator and artist who poured in so much knowledge and profound support. Our volunteers showed up with more energy, kindness and hard graft than I could ever have asked for. And to every guest who believed in an idea and trusted me enough to book a ticket based on a vision - thank you.
I was told, more than once, that this simply wasn't possible to pull off in the time we had and that most events like this struggle just to get off the ground at all. We didn't just get it off the ground. We smashed straight through what we'd hoped for, and built a community and a set of memories I'll treasure forever.
Roll on 2027!

BOOKS - WINNER
The Natural Wellness Journal - A Lay Person's Guide to Your Health Systems
|
|
|
This one goes deep for me. A spinal fusion procedure went wrong - they missed my spine, and I found myself in a near-death situation I never saw coming. What healed me wasn't a prescription. It was learning to work with my own body's natural systems, and that experience changed the entire course of my life. I wrote The Natural Wellness Journal so that everyone else could have the tools I had to find for myself, because I believe with everything in me that the Doctor of Your Future is You.
It's a lay person's guide, which really just means it's for everyone, however you come to natural health. Work through it front to back like a journal, dip in and out chapter by chapter as life throws things at you, or keep it close for whenever you need it. However you use it, it's yours.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of my CommuniTEA - for showing up to the festival, reading the Journal, sharing it with someone who needed it, and generally being part of the natural NHS we're building together. This is as much yours as it is mine and I'm so very grateful for all your support.
Love 'n Above
