The Perfect Foot Massage

I am excited to announce the “Perfect Foot Massage” workshop to be run by Bruce Scott (aka The Body Magician) on Wednesday 22 November 2017. 

Bruce Scott is a healer and massage master. He is also a highly accomplished martial artist, yoga teacher and qigong practitioner. His style of massage is deeply rooted in the traditional massage style of Japan- where he lived and studied for a number of years. Bruce has built a reputation of being a unique master in his field of body and energy work. I have been a client of Bruce for nearly 2 years and no one can transcend me into a parasympathetic state as quickly and deeply as Bruce.  He reads his clients like a book and has a gift to give people exactly what they need, when they need it. 

Bruce starts off his body work sessions with his clients with the most tantalising foot massage using the highest quality therapeutic grade organic essential oils. As he was working his magic into my feet and my whole body began to melt like butter, the idea popped into our heads to run the perfect foot massage workshop. So here we are!!

 Fewer things transcend us into a state of deep and blissful relaxation as a foot massage. Bruce believes that anyone can learn to give an amazing massage.

IN THIS WORKSHOP BRUCE WILL TEACH YOU:

• The principles of touch
• 3 principles that once understood will transform any massage into a beautiful experience for both the giver and receiver
• A selection of simple massage techniques that will give you a framework from which you can tap into your intuition 
• How to choose the best essential oils to massage with. I will talk briefly about the Young Living therapeutic grade essential oils and why they are our oils of first choice. 

If you are a couple, the perfect foot massage workshop is undoubtedly the perfect date night. If you come alone we will partner you up with a potential dashing fox or babe. I am really looking forward to this workshop and I hope to see you there…especially if you are a dashing silver fox as I’ll be fronting up alone ;-)

• Theory discussion on foot massage

Halloween Trick or Treat Bags!

Halloween is looming! Argh! As I walked the streets last Halloween with my kids and witnessed the stupendous amounts of junk /artificial crap/ "non-food"/ rubbish /toxic treats  (insert your word of choice) handed out to our little loved ones, the first thought that came into my head was "Dear fellow residents, can you stop poisoning my kids pleeeeeeeeeeease!!!" The next thought that came into my head was "This is not about deprivation! This is about providing a healthy alternative to every piece of junk."

A couple of years ago I wrote a blog post on 6 ways I deal with Halloween which you can read here. My sentiments remain exactly the same. One of the recommendations involved taking your own trick or treat bag with you when you and your kids do the rounds of the streets filled with some healthy nutrient-dense treats for kids to munch on instead of the junk that they will be given. Another of my recommendations was to swap every piece of crap with a real food treat of equivalent weight which can be apportioned over the next few days or weeks. 

With the above in mind, last year I decided to take matters into my own hands and provide my community with a healthy Halloween trick or treat bag. Why? Because none exist in the market and it's high time we start a ripple effect that demonstrates:

1. As parents we care what goes into our children's bodies;
2. We are fed up with what passes as treats for our kids - don't they deserve better?? 
3. Healthy treats are just as, or even more delicious, without all the toxic ingredients. 

The bags were a massive hit last year and we could barely keep up with the demand. Parents came out of the woodwork expressing how grateful they were that healthy alternatives to junk food exists and that they no longer have to deal with the learning, behavioural and skin issues that often result when junk food is consumed.

My staff, my kids and I have had so much fun crafting these bags. They contain:

🎃 15g of our beloved raspberry gummies made with raspberries, gelatin powder and the teeniest amount of maple syrup (less than 1/10 teaspoon per gummy). 
🎃 2 of our mint Carob bears made with carob powder, raw cacao butter and food grade Young Living peppermint essential oil .... With NO ADDED SWEETENER!!! 
🎃 a 30g pack of our signature light and crispy activated nuts. Nice to have something savoury in the bag!! Traditionally, trick or treat bags contained nuts. 
🎃 25g of our original power bars smothered in a layer of our signature raw dark chocolate
🎃 30g of our chocolate coated activated macadamias. 
🎃 kid friendly Halloween jokes provided by my son Will 😂

All ingredients are certified organic where possible. 

The above have all been road tested on kids and every single one gave them the big  "I want more please?!" 🙌🙌🏻

These trick or treat bags retail for $19.95 and can be used in 3 ways:

1. Take them with you when going trick or treating and let your kids munch on some of the healthy snacks rather than the crappy confectionary they will be given (which you can accept graciously then turf at home). If you have no alternative with you,  the temptation to eat confectionary is too great for kids.

2. When you get back home use the treats as a healthy swap for all of the crap that they will be given.

3. Use the treats or the jokes when a little ghost or Dracula comes knocking on YOUR door. You'll feel good knowing that you have provided a little soul with something actually good for them.

These bags will be available for collection in the last week of October at my retail store Broth Bar &  Larder in Bronte. Limited quantities available so to avoid disappointment we encourage you to pre-order and pre-pay on 0421 786 009. 

HAPPY TRICK OR TREATING!!!!! 👻👹😈🎃👽💀

I would love to know what you think of these trick or treat bags. Please share your thoughts below!
