A healthy home made chicken noodle soup will nourish you from the inside out, plus you can make a big batch in advance for the days and nights you just can't be bothered cooking and you can also freeze for later. Oh, and  chicken noodle soup is always a delightful gift to receive, so drop some off to someone you love too!

Trauma is something we often think of as negative and associate with pain or an accident but it can also be an energy or imprint of a stressful event that we store throughout the body.

It’s important to be aware of our traumatic experiences and the affect this might take on us. Understanding how trauma can manifest is the first step in freeing ourselves from it.
