♥ First up, briefly tell us a little bit about yourself!
I am very blessed, I have a beautiful daughter, two magnificent horses, I love what I do and Gwinganna is amazing. I love where I live, I am a very happy person and I genuinely love people, I also love to see people realise their full potential for health and happiness. You could say I have a lot of ‘love’ in my life!
♥
♥ Tell us about your daily beauty routine.
I choose products that are active and certified organic so I am not adding to the toxic load of my body.
Morning cleanse Phyt's Lait Hydro Nettoyant, Phyt’s Hydrole Orange Toner, Phyt’s Crème Reviderm Moisturiser, 10 minutes later facial zinc. Make up is simple, Evohe (med) mineral foundation powder and Evohe blush, Subtle Energies lip balm.
Night time same cleanser in the shower as soon as I get into the house, then tone, Subtle Energies Facial Oil with Sandalwood. Before bed tone again, followed by Phyt's Crème Absolue Moisturiser…every second night I use Phyt's Serum Reviderm prior to the Crème Absolue Moisturiser.
Info about Phyt's skincare here, info about Evohe makeup here.
♥
♥ What's the one beauty treatment you can't live without? And your favourite place to have it done?
The Phyt's Multi Vita Facial and I love the LI’TYA body salts used in the body scrubs at Gwinganna, they are wild harvested and are beautiful. My favourite place…..at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat of course, the therapists are nurturing and skilled and the products are simply the best.
♥ Favourite budget / at home beauty treatment?
Exfoliation at least once a week.
♥ Your three, absolutely cannot live without, favourite products?
Subtle Energies facial oil with sandalwood, exotic and luxurious…divine! Phyt's lait hydro nettoyant cleanser, Phyt’s contact + gommage.
♥
♥ Do you have any secret tips you use to keep looking / feeling great?
Qi Gong, Yoga, meditation and breathing techniques, a very positive outlook on life I take things as they come daily, the great outdoors, I also take practitioner strength supplements.
♥ What beauty treatment/ wellbeing activity would you love to try but haven't yet? (Due to time, money, scared etc!)
I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to try all that I have been curious about.
♥
♥ Describe a typical day of eating for you.
I always buy organic, seasonal food and produce, I eat differently in summer (lighter salads and raw foods with lightly steamed veg) and winter (more cooked soups and casseroles etc) and I try to chew my food really well and I don't eat dairy or gluten.
Lemon juice in hot water on rising, teaspoon of apple cider vinegar before breakfast, then english breakfast tea, poached eggs, one slice of gluten free toast and greens for breakfast. Morning tea at around 11am is a cup of tea and nuts or a Gwinganna tahini ball as a snack. Lunch is salad and protein (seafood or organic chicken) followed by nuts for afternoon tea.
Dinner is steamed veg and protein (mainly fish however I do eat more red meat in winter), a cup or two of herbal tea or a pure drinking chocolate (Loving Earth is a great example of pure) in winter before bed. My ‘junk’ food is hommus and corn chips and dark organic chocolate which I love. Lots of filtered rain water (we have a tank) during the day and some lightly sparkling water with lime on hot days.
♥
♥ Describe your fitness routine.
Qi Gong most mornings, Yoga three mornings a week my own routine at home and one strong Astanga class a week, I periodically do resistance training and I horse ride three times a week.
♥ Do you take part in any alternative therapies or take supplements? If so, discuss.
Yes, every morning the first thing I do is scrape my tongue according to Ayurvedic practice, during sleep it is believed we accumulate toxins on our tongue that need to be removed prior to eating and exercise, whist this seems like a gross practice after 25 years of this practice I believe it is more gross not to do it! I see a Naturopath every six months for a checkup this is usually done using a hemaview or a live blood analysis, I also use Chinese Medical Practitioners who are masters at shifting energy in the body and I truly believe acupuncture and cupping will assist with everything from sleep problems to infertility.
♥
My medical Doctor is also a nutritionist and herbalist and I truly appreciate her knowledge of Western Medicine and how she seamlessly blends modern science with ancient wisdom, she also communicates with my Chinese Medical Practitioner and Naturopath when necessary. (see acnem.org website for a similar Doctor to support your health) I feel fully supported by my health support team and feel I am a participant in my preventative health intentions rather than a victim of my health. I also do regular body work (massages etc) to assist my body to relax and stay balanced.
I top up what is missing in key nutritionals. Everyday our bodies are under a lot of pressure in this modern technological world, every morning I take a practitioner strength probiotic as the health of our gut has a huge influence on our moods, skin, health and wellbeing. I also take magnesium every night along with vitamin C and zinc. I do supplement with vitamin D when my exposure to sun is limited. When I am feeling overwhelmed or run down I see my Doctor for some IV vitamin C or consult one of my preferred complementary health professionals.
♥
♥ How many hours sleep do you usually get each night? Do you have any bedtime rituals or tips to help you get a great nights sleep?
Minimum seven hours, sleep is essential for so many things in our body and assists us to deal with stress better. I try to follow the body’s natural circadian rhythm getting up earlier in summer when the sun is up around 5am and in winter tend to wake around 6.30 naturally as the mornings are darker. I try to wake without an alarm (unless I am catching a plane or something) preferring to train my body to wake with the natural cycles….this takes time but is such a better way to wake up naturally. Our bodies like consistency and routine, I always try to be in bed asleep or going to sleep by 10pm latest. I avoid any caffeine after 12noon and find if I have at least four alcohol free nights and limit my intake to 1-2 glasses of red wine on the nights I do choose to drink.
♥ How do you like to relax? What are your favourite ways to de-stress?
Relaxing to me is spending time with family and friends, spending time with my horses is a joy and where I truly switch off as I become engrossed in their connection with me, I also love to read and I meditate regularly.

♥ First up, briefly tell us a little bit about yourself!
Sure! My name is Melissa and I am a holistic health + life coach, speaker, writer and self love teacher. Four years ago I was a model, dancer, presenter and actress but after experiencing severe burn out and a cocktail of health issues something had to shift. This lead me to weeks in hospital where I decided I wanted to cure myself of adrenal fatigue and thyroid problems and thus became fascinated with holistic health. After practicing as a holistic health coach for a while I realised that it's not only about what you put in your mouth, it's about the thoughts you think moment to moment and I believe these go hand in hand. I want to inspire people to take back control of their health and life and live the life they have always dreamt of.
♥
♥ Tell us about your daily beauty routine.
For My Hair: I recently went to the relaunch of A'kin and Al'chemy and was blown away with how beautiful their products are and having been using their delicious shampoo and conditioner. They've created products with “purity” and “goodness” in mind, and they smell AMAZING. I also use Original and Mineral and love coconut oil for a leave in treatment.
For My Skin: I use Pai Moisturiser and Cleanser from Flora Organica.
For My Body: I use Indah Organic Coconut Oil on my body. It's about the purest you can get, is fair trade and harvested sustainably with local Balinese farmers. The product is gorgeous and so is their philosophy.
Make Up: I don't wear it often but when I do I use Jane Iredale.
Lady Products: I use TOM Organics. You can't get any better than this, and the packaging is super cute.
♥ What's the one beauty treatment you can't live without? And your favourite place to have it done?
Mani's and Pedi's, I love them. Any place is fine with me.
♥
♥ Who do you trust with your hair in Perth, and why?
The only people that touch my hair are the team at Lily Jackson in Sydney. They are amazing and most of their products are natural.
♥
♥ Favourite budget / at home beauty treatment?
Tea tree oil on spots. This is awesome.
♥
♥ Your three, absolutely cannot live without, favourite products?
1. Coconut oil
2. Tea tree oil
3. Organic face moisturiser
♥
♥ Do you have any secret tips you use to keep looking / feeling great?
Drink loads of water. Don't drink coffee. Eat loads of fruit and veggies.
♥ What beauty treatment/ wellbeing activity would you love to try but haven't yet?
Maybe some of the ayurvedic treatments.
♥
♥ Describe a typical day of eating for you.
Morning is either green smoothie or porridge. Lunch and dinner is either organic grass fed and grass finished meat or salmon with salad or veggies + loads of filtered water throughout the day + a bliss ball or two.
♥ Describe your fitness routine.
I exercise every day for at least 30 mins. It changes all the time from yoga, running, walking, boxing or weights.
♥ Do you take part in any alternative therapies or take supplements? If so, discuss.
I take a probiotic each day and don't regularly do alternative therapies but have tried a few.
♥
♥ How many hours sleep do you usually get each night? Do you have any bedtime rituals or tips to help you get a great nights sleep?
8 hours every night is a must for me. My bedtime rituals are dim lights, no TV, phone or computers in bedroom and reading, meditation or deep breathing before bed.
♥ How do you like to relax? What are your favourite ways to de-stress?
Walking in nature, meditating, sipping tea, reading, watching a good movie, yoga, laying on the grass and being around loved ones.

I recently had the pleasure of attending an appointment with Amy O’Brien in West Perth to discuss my wellness goals and work on a plan together to attain optimal health. The 1 hour session included a consultation, acupuncture treatment and some herbs to take home with me. I first connected with Amy via email, and before attending my initial consultation Amy sent me some preliminary information including directions, a description of what the treatment would involve and some tips to help me prepare for my treatment which I found really thoughtful and helpful.
♥
Having never tried acupuncture or Chinese medicine before, I was a little tentative as I stepped into the clinic, however Amy put me at ease straight away. We chatted for around 20 minutes about my health and lifestyle as well as what I was hoping to achieve in terms of my overall wellness, with Amy asking me plenty of questions along the way. She then took my pulse, explaining that ‘blood deficiency’ is a common condition in Chinese medicine, and that my treatment would focus on warming the body and building the blood, which would in turn help to do things like nourish my skin and reverse the effects that stress has had on my body.
♥
The consultation was followed by an acupuncture session, which I have to say was very relaxing! For those of you who have never tried acupuncture before and are wondering whether it will hurt: the answer in my opinion is definitely no. I felt a slight prick as the needles were inserted, but they are so fine that you feel the pressure more than any pain. Once the needles are in you don’t even feel them anymore. Amy targeted certain areas of my body to focus on building the blood and creating mental clarity. She then left me to chill out for around twenty minutes while the needles worked their magic.
Amy took a very holistic approach during her consultation, providing me not only with direct treatment but also with general lifestyle and diet advice. One of the main points she raised was to make sure I was getting enough oxygen, which would help build the blood. Remembering to stop and breathe is something yoga has taught me, and it may seem trivial but it can work wonders for stress and mental clarity and is something we so often forget to do on a typical day in our busy lives.
♥
At the end of our session Amy provided me with some herbs to take away with me as well as a personalised write-up of my treatment goals and some tips to help me achieve these, with some further information on what she had discussed with me during the consultation.
♥
Overall I found the session to be well-rounded, relaxing and informative. Anyone who has taken Chinese herbs before would probably agree with me when I say it is a bit of an ‘acquired taste’, but it is exciting to increasingly see science backing what ancient tradition seems to have known and understood for centuries. I would definitely recommend Amy’s services as a qualified, registered practitioner and she can be contacted by email, on Facebook, or at her website www.fabuloushealth.com.au
Her clinic is located at Suite 7, 3 Lawrence Ave, West Perth.

♥ First up, briefly tell us a little bit about yourself!
I was a principal show girl and model in Paris which was an amazing experience, but it left me physically, mentally and spiritually exhausted. That’s when I turned to Yoga to help heal my body and keep me fit, but ended up embracing the holistically healthy lifestyle it promotes. Yoga changed my understanding of what I thought it was to be a ‘healthy beautiful’ person.
This kick started my love affair with all things natural and nourishing, and that’s how I came to fall in love with natural & organic beauty and start Flora Organica!
Now I spend my days researching the most amazing non toxic beauty products from around the world to bring to Australia! Soon the store will include wellness products as well as I am so passionate about a holistic approach to beauty so watch this space!!
♥
♥ Tell us about your daily beauty routine.
My daily routine changes a lot depending on the weather, the seasons, hormones. At the moment because the weather is warmer I tend to use lighter products.
In the morning I use Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser or if I am in a real hurry an Ecocare Apple and Honey Facial Wipe does the trick.
I follow this with Kimberly Sayer’s Anti Oxidant SPF moisturizer. SPF is an absolute MUST if you are concerned with aging and this one doesn’t smell or feel like a typical SPF, which is a huge positive!
♥
At night I like to nourish my skin a little more so I’ll opt for Pai Camellia & Rose Cleanser or Ecocare Coconut Oil followed by Absolution Cleansing Water just to leave my skin feeling fresh.
After cleansing I’ll use Pai Rosehip & Chamomile Cream which is amazing, especially if you have sensitive skin. Natalie Portman is a huge fan.
♥
If I feel like my skin needs a litte more hydration ill go for serum or oil such as Pai Rosehip Oil or Black Chicken Love Your Face Serum, which is an incredible locally made product.
♥ What's the one beauty treatment you can't live without? And your favourite place to have it done?
I don’t often get beauty treatments done as I have every product under the sun in my bathroom to pamper myself with! I prefer to have a wonderful massage, chinese cupping, Osteo treatment or a bit of acupuncture because I know if I’m feeling good it will radiant fare more than just getting a facial.
♥
♥ Favourite budget / at home beauty treatment?
Coconut oil. It is the ultimate beauty budget all rounder. Cleanser, face and body moisturizer, hair treatment. You can also use it as a wellness treatment such as oil pulling or eating a spoonful a day for it’s amazing health benefits not to mention cooking with it!
Just make sure it is raw and organic like the ecocare one I stock!
♥
♥ Your three, absolutely cannot live without, favorite products?
Only 3?! That’s a bit tough! I guess I would have to say:
1. Soapwalla Deodorant Cream – One of the only natural deodorants that I have come across that works! It is my number 1 best seller.
2. Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser – a bit on the pricey side but totally worth it! I have combination skin so it needs regular light exfoliation but I find most are too harsh for my skin. This product strikes the perfect balance.
3. Ecocare Raw Organic Coconut Oil. It’s good for everything!
♥
♥ Do you have any secret tips you use to keep looking / feeling great?
I know it sounds cliché but beauty really is more than skin deep. Regular Yoga, meditation, a healthy diet, and daily journaling and affirmations really help me to feel my absolute best. When I feel great I seem to attract great things into my life.
♥
♥ What beauty treatment/ wellbeing activity would you love to try but haven't yet?
I just bought a voucher to try salt therapy which I am really excited about!
Salt therapy involves breathing in microscopic salt particles which has a positive effect on respiratory and skin aliments. The dry sodium chloride aerosol in the Salt Room eliminates airborne particles from the airways and helps the body purge itself of toxins. Salt Therapy is a safe natural therapy and has no side effects.
Check out Salt Rooms for more details (not currently available in WA, but there are options to open a biz if anyone is keen!)
♥
♥ Describe a typical day of eating for you.
I usually have a smoothie in the morning made of coconut water, coconut oil, LSA, Glow Beauty Powder, Chocolate Sun Warrior raw vegan protein powder and maybe some frozen banana or mixed greens like kale and spinach.
I mainly snack on fruit and nuts during the day.
Lunch with be sushi or a salad and dinner generally tends to be steamed vegetables sometimes with a protein such as broiled chicken.
I tend to keep things really simple.
♥
♥ Describe your fitness routine.
I do Vinyasa & Yin Yoga about 3-4 times a week and run on alternate days.
♥
♥ Do you take part in any alternative therapies or take supplements? If so, discuss.
My favorite supplements are Garden of Life RAW from the US because they are formulated from raw, live organically grown fruits and vegetables rich with probiotics, enzymes and products of their fermentation. I take their Raw Kombucha Probiotic for good gut health, and Oceans 3 fish oil & Resveratrol for healthy hair and skin.
They are starting to pop up at some good quality health food stores in Australia. Otherwise you can order them on iherb.com
♥
♥ How many hours sleep do you usually get each night? Do you have any bedtime rituals or tips to help you get a great nights sleep?
I try and get 8 hours a night. I will light a candle, have a cup tea and read a book as it sets my sleeping ritual otherwise I can be up all night. If I am having trouble sleeping I will put a touch of Tata Harper Aromatic Nighttime Treatment on my chakra points, it really helps!
♥
♥ How do you like to relax? What are your favourite ways to de-stress?
Simple things really help. Lighting a candle in my room really soothes me. Reading inspiring or wellness books such as The Power of Now
. Talking with my mother as she always knows what to say! I’ll also use Tata Harpers Aromatic Stress Treatment as it just smells so uplifting.
Yin Yoga is also amazing for de stressing. If you have never tried Yin it is an absolute must as it helps to release tension and emotions that we often keep locked up in our body without even realising it.

Posted by Annette @ Wellness WA on March 19, 2013
♥
♥ First up, briefly tell us a little bit about yourself!
Hey wellness lovers! I’m Jia Ni from sunny Perth, Western Australia. I’m a certified holistic health coach over at Happy Healthy Abundant.
I’m an enthusiastic Gemini who loves yoga, adventures, the beach, green juice, crystals, studying age old metaphysical texts, and everything health and wellness related!
Come on over to Happy Healthy Abundant to receive your FREE gift, 15 Tips to Get Happy Healthy Abundant Now. I share nuggets of wisdom and recipes to succeed (in health and life) even on the busiest schedules.
♥
♥ Tell us about your daily beauty routine.
My daily routine is pretty simple and effective. Apart from being a health coach, I’m also a student at university – so simple does it!
Every morning, I wake up as the sun rises (usually 6 a.m.), stretch, practice yoga (sun salutations are great!), and then skip into the bathroom. Here’s the low down:
The products I use are: Miessence mint toothpaste – (I adore this!), a bar of good soap like this Aromabals one or a huge chunk of handmade soap, a Sukin cleanser or Melvita’s foam cleanser, the Vanessa Megan exfoliating cleanser every other day, a hydrating rose mist, and finish with a hydrating cream/moisturizer from KORA!
I also like crystal deodorant, and coconut oil as a body moisturizer.
♥ Alchemical Oil
I also love using alchemical oil or essential oils to set the intention and tone for the day.
For haircare, I’ve been using the shampoo and conditioner from Vanessa Megan and I adore the fresh fragrance of geranium and tangerine! I use coconut oil on the ends of my hair too.
The evening routine usually the same, although if I’m feeling rather tired and want to wind down relaxing I’ll take a nice salt bath with Himalayan sea salt and essential oils, or give myself a good DIY hair mask.
♥
Recently, I’ve started using Bush Flower Essences and I can’t stop raving about them. Love the Abund Essence and Calm & Clear Essence.
♥
♥ What's the one beauty treatment you can't live without? And your favourite place to have it done?
I love hair treatments. I colour my hair say, once or twice a year, so I pay extra care to my hair to keep it healthy.
I travel to Malaysia to visit family pretty often, and I love the Ultra Sonic Iron treatment at Number76. It leaves my hair glossy and smooth!
I also dig DIY hair treatments using coconut oil!
♥ Who do you trust with your hair in Perth, and why?
I usually cut my own bangs and leave my hair to grow, ha!
In the event where I feel like I need a good old trim in Perth, I’ll go to Ashley at Fringe Benefits Hair Salon, Curtin University!
♥
♥ Favourite budget / at home beauty treatment?
A clay mask! My gorgeous friend Dani from Scented Holistic Skin Care has an amazing French Green Clay Mask which I use 2-3 times a week to draw out the dirt and cleanse out my pores.
I highly recommend using a good quality clay mask regularly because you are essentially de-clogging any clogged pores and now the nutrients and moisture from beauty products applied onto the surface of your skin can be absorbed effectively! It also leaves your skin feeling radiant, clean, and vibrant. (Can you tell I LOVE masks yet?)
♥
♥ Your three, absolutely cannot live without, favourite products?
1. My Clarisonic
2. Australian Bush Flower Essences
3. A good cleanser
♥
♥ Do you have any secret tips you use to keep looking / feeling great?
1. HYDRATE. Drink lots of water, get yourself a 2L stainless steel bottle and make sure you finish at least one of them!
2. Eat plant-based. Fill your tummy with mostly greens, vegetables, and other plant-based nutritious food.
3. Move. Yoga, run, walk, jog. Whatever suits you best, but moving is essential to look and feel great!
4. Raise your vibrations. Surround yourself with people who you adore, inspiring mentors, messages and don’t forget to engage in activities you enjoy!
5. Sleep well. Go to bed early, in a relaxed state, and with good thoughts and vibes in your mind and heart.
♥
♥ What beauty treatment/ wellbeing activity would you love to try but haven't yet?
1. SUP Yoga – I love the sea, I love yoga. SUP yoga seems divine!
2. Infrared sauna – I’ve heard and read so many amazing benefits about it, I have to suss out one!
3. Kickboxing – This one’s on my 100 things to do in 2013!
4. Rock climbing – I’ve done rock climbing on a small scale, and I’d love to do something huge this year.
5. Leonie Dawson’s Paradise Retreat!
♥
♥ Describe a typical day of eating for you.
I start off my morning with a large glass of green drink – a green juice (veggies and lemon) or green smoothie.
Lunch, depending on the season, is a mix of seasonal vegetables and high quality protein. In the summer, I love whipping up a good hearty wrap, salad or sushi rolls. In the winter, I’ll have a batch of leftover grilled vegetables and something heavier.
For dinner, we have more vegetables and a small portion of protein. I’ll make a curry to have with quinoa, or we’ll bake delicious. Meals are usually extremely simple to prepare, and I do my best to incorporate the whole rainbow so we get a spectrum of vitamins and minerals!
♥
In the middle of the day, if I’m craving a snack, I’ll usually have sprouted seeds or nuts, veggie sushi, coconuts, dark chocolate, raw brownies, a slice of raw cheesecake or veggie sticks and dip! I’ve written a post featuring 21 of my favourite snacks here!
♥
♥ Describe your fitness routine.
Yoga is something I do daily. I’ll stretch heaps, and then practice for 15-45 minutes, depending on which day it is. I love walking and cycling too, and I walk/cycle to uni. I occasionally go for a run too!
♥
♥ Do you take part in any alternative therapies or take supplements? If so, discuss.
I snack on Spirulina and Chorella, and love the Hawaiian Pacifica brand. I also take a dairy-free probiotic and digestive enzyme. As far as nutritional supplements, I believe that it is important to get most of our needs from food and lifestyle as long as we are in a state of health.
As a health coach, I work with clients to establish that state of health first (and sometimes supplements are essential and yield amazing results)!
As far as alternative therapies, I swear by Belinda Davidson. She’s a wonderful person, a guest expert on my eCourse, and I personally find her white light intensives and Monday white lights (which are free) a life changing experience.
♥ How many hours sleep do you usually get each night? Do you have any bedtime rituals or tips to help you get a great nights sleep?
Yes! My lights are usually out and I’m usually sound asleep by 10pm. I’ll wake up naturally by 6am so that’s about 8 hours of sleep at least.
Most nights, I’ll lie down and make sure I go to sleep in a peaceful, relaxed state. Meditation, visualization, and chakra cleansing are some of the rituals I use to help me get aligned and have a good night’s sleep, and a beautiful day the next!
♥
♥ How do you like to relax? What are your favourite ways to de-stress?
• Turning off my laptop, disconnecting from the internet, and then just anchoring myself back into my heartspace. With work, I’m very left-brained and a lot of energy is focused in the mind. Turning off all distractions, sitting on my yoga mat or a comfy couch, and then taking a few moments to breathe and focus in my heart centre relaxes me in an instant.
• Meditation – guided or in silence.
• Extreme self-care and self-love.
• Reading a book (or two).
• Journaling
• Spending time out in nature
• Hanging out with friends and loved ones
A million thanks to Jia Ni for sharing her gorgeous routine with us, if you're keen to find out more about this lovely local babe – you can follow her in these ways:
