Since last October things have really picked up with my biodynamic craniosacral therapy clinic and I haven’t had as much time to devote to Hella Delicious. It has been a long time coming for me. It seems the third time is indeed the charm. I have set up a cranio clinic in 3 countries now! It is funny to think of it like that. I had a clinic briefly right after I graduated in 2005, but that was when we were living in that moldy apartment in Wellington, NZ. We got sick and had to move. I very briefly put up my shingle in upstate New York, but after a call from a heavy breather and another strange fellow come by for a session, I shut that down pretty quickly!
As I have still been in the process of healing my own self, I haven’t been really trying to get many clients for the past couple years but over the last few months my health has really improved. I feel like my guts are actually absorbing nutrients from my food again finally! Most of the time, that is. I still have bad days, but they are getting much less frequent and I haven’t even had a migraine in months. The good thing about better health is that I have more energy to do more things, and less time to sit around blogging! Actually my back and shoulder always get out of shape when I am on the computer too much, so even my body is telling me that doing craniosacral therapy is better for me than blogging! I must say it is nice to be able to take on new clients finally. Now I desperately need to find somewhere else more suitable to work from.

With the Wise Traditions conference here in the US just around the corner I thought it appropriate to post this series of DVDs from the London 2011 Conference. Great series. Samples from many of the talks are available on Vimeo here. Unfortunately I'm not gonna be at the conference this year. Too mu ...

More and more information is coming out about the dangers of eating a diet high in carbohydrates. People are finally waking up to the fact that the past 20 years or so of the low-fat fad have created more obese people and kids than our world has ever seen and have put an incredible strain on our hea ...

We've been on the GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome diet) / SCD (Specific Carbohydrate diet) for the past year and a half and have experienced incredible healing. My man used to have terrible asthma attacks that were degenerating into panic attacks in the months before we started the diet. I was hav ...

I was recently looking at some of my first posts about the GAPS diet and realized...it's been a year! I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. So let me see if I can manage to say something coherent about our experiences over this past year. I still feel that my gut needs to do some serious ...

For a wonderful well-rounded lunch or snack with nutrient dense chicken liver and lots of home-made fermented vegetables, try one of my favorites: Carrot, ginger, apple kefir smoothie to start. Technically it should be drank and digested at least half an hour before eating the delicious chicken liv ...

A few weeks ago, one of our many cousins was in town preparing to go on a journey. One of the places he was going was to the Way of St. James, which was written about by Paulo Coelho in The Pilgrimage. We decided to have him and a couple other people over for a special brunch to send him on an enlig ...
