October Workshops

GUT HEALTH WORKSHOP

Saturday 21st Nov l 9:30am l Victor Harbor l Free

What's Your Gut Trying to Tell You?

Bloating after meals? Constipation? An unpredictable tummy? Or perhaps you've noticed that stress seems to upset your digestion? Our digestive systems can be affected by far more than just what we eat.

In this relaxed, interactive workshop, we'll look at some of the common reasons digestion can become troublesome and explore simple ways to support better gut health.

We'll explore:

• What bloating, constipation and other digestive symptoms might be telling us

• How stress and the nervous system influence digestion

• The role of fibre, hydration and everyday eating habits

• Common gut health myths

• Simple, practical changes you can start making

There'll be a few activities, opportunities to ask questions and a useful take-home resource.

FREE to attend. No previous knowledge needed, just come along and join the conversation.

ENERGY & FATIGUE WORKSHOP

Saturday 21st Nov l 10:30am l Victor Harbor l $70

Why Am I So Tired All the Time? Ever wake up tired, struggle through the afternoon or feel like you've completely run out of energy by the end of the day? And why is it that sometimes getting more sleep doesn't seem make much difference?

Fatigue isn't always as simple as needing an earlier bedtime. Hormones, stress, nutrition, blood sugar, sleep quality and other health factors can all play a part.

Come along and let's explore what might be contributing to those energy crashes and what you can actually do about them.

We'll have plenty of discussion, activities and opportunities to ask questions, along with three hands-on botanical Make & Takes to bring home.

You'll leave with: A better understanding of what can affect your energy, practical ideas to try and three botanical creations you've made yourself.

December Workshops

THE MENTAL LOAD - WHO'S LOOKING AFTER YOU?

Saturday 5 Dec l  10:30am l Victor Harbor l $35

When everyone else's Christmas is on your to-do list.

Christmas shopping. Presents. Family gatherings. Food. Decorations. Remembering who's going where, who needs what, and making sure everyone has a wonderful Christmas. And somehow, you're still expected to manage everything else in your life.

Sound familiar?

The mental load isn't just about being busy. It's the invisible work of remembering, planning, organising, anticipating everyone's needs and keeping everything running, often without anyone noticing just how much you're carrying.

And at Christmas, that load can become even heavier.

• Why asking for help isn't always as simple as it sounds
• The pressure to make everything perfect and keep everyone happy
• How to recognise what isn't yours to carry
• Practical ways to share responsibilities, set boundaries and make room for yourself

WHAT YOU'LL GET

• A relaxed, welcoming small-group experience
• Fun myth-or-fact games and conversation activities
• A practical Mental Load Audit to uncover just how much you're juggling
• An interactive Christmas Responsibilities Challenge
• Simple strategies for reducing the mental load without adding another task to your list

BELOW THE BELT

Saturday 7th Nov l 1pm l Victor Harbor l $35

Women's Intimate Health Without the Awkwardness

The Women's Conversation Table

Ladies, can we talk about the things we don't always talk about?

Bladder leaks when we laugh or sneeze. Vaginal dryness. Changes in discharge. Pelvic floor concerns. Irritation. And all those questions we sometimes feel too embarrassed to ask.

These are common women's health conversations, yet so many of us end up wondering what's normal, what's changing and when we should actually get something checked.

Below the Belt is a relaxed, small-group evening where we can talk openly about women's intimate health without embarrassment or judgement.

What we'll get into:

• Vulval and vaginal health, and changes throughout life

• Bladder health and those unexpected little leaks

• Pelvic floor health and common misconceptions

• Intimate health myths, what's true and what's not?

• What's common, what's not necessarily normal and when to seek medical advice

And it won't just be me talking! We'll have myth-or-fact games, anonymous question cards, everyday scenarios and plenty of opportunities to learn together.

No awkward introductions or pressure to discuss your own experiences.

Just women having the conversations we probably should have been having years ago.
