Living with grace versus living in anger

Becca Crawford

 

I think I was rather optimistic about the end of lockdown 🙄 BUT in my life I’ve learnt to master the art of finding ways around things.

If there’s a road block, I’m the queen of keeping my cool and finding side lanes and back streets to take me to the same end goal. I call it living with grace instead of living in anger or frustration. So. If we can’t meet in-person for my July healthy homes/ healthy swaps/ oils gathering, you can instead:

1. Book into my free online 50 minute pre recorded workshop where I cover exactly the same information that you can view from the comfort of your home at any time. Just fill out the contact form and we will contact you to connect and email you the link;

or 

2. Simply email me your full name and mobile phone number and we will contact you to chat and explain everything to you over the phone so that you feel empowered (yes my team and I still actually enjoy connecting with people for real time conversations. Fancy that!). 

Either way, my mission is to inspire and empower you to create a less toxic, and more healthy and calm home for you and your family. 

Through our extensive and comprehensive resources, personalised support and community support, you will: 

💚Learn to kick the harsh endocrine-disrupting chemicals in your home and healthy swap AT YOUR PACE  to all natural, super powerful, eco-friendly and cost-effective versions; and 

💚Learn how to become your family’s alchemist and healer using potent plant botanicals in place of pharmaceuticals that you can reach for at any hour of the day or night to RECLAIM POWER. This is game-changing as a mum!! 

There is no better time to build strong resilience and live in a less stressful, healthier, way by kicking the harsh chemicals, and healthy swapping to something better for you and your family. 

Knowledge brings power, power brings choice and choice brings the opportunity to radically up-level your health, your family’s health and the planet’s health. What can be more important than that?!?!

When I started my health journey 20 years ago I would have died to have received a comprehensive package that laid everything out in one place that could catch me up to speed on:

  • What the heck we should and shouldn’t be eating (to avoid all of the confusion surrounding food that was pulling me from pillar to post!!!)

  • where to shop

  • the questions to ask when buying food

  • a list of clean places to eat

  • what my meals should look like

  • basic formulas for each meal to take the stress out meal prep

  • practical how-to on how to best prepare my food so that it was quick, easy, nourishing and delicious

  • a list of holistic practitioners who ‘spoke my language’

  • a list of top books, websites, podcasts and resourses if I wanted to dive deeper

  • where to get a water filter from

  • what staples to have in my fridge, freezer or pantry

  • how to combat sugar cravings

  • clean brands of personal care products and cleaning products

  • all of the things in addition to food that influence our health

Instead I fumbled around in the dark, confused, and went down various rabbit holes experimenting with all manner of diets (remember the blood type diet, the Pritikin diet, the low fat diet, the vegan diet….been there, done that, wore ALL of those t-shirts). 

When my darling naturopath introduced me to ancestral diets (which was a defining light bulb moment in my life)  I think I drove her CRAZY asking her all manner of inane questions, trying to understand and make sense of it all. And then I discovered that others were asking ME exactly the same questions I once wanted to know. So. I did what all good ex-lawyers do and compiled a package. Not just an ordinary package but a completely COMPREHENSIVE one!

My FOOD AS MEDICINE DIGITAL PACKAGE is indeed the culmination of over 2 decades of my learnings, research and practical experience consolidated into a comprehensive yet concise package for you. This ultimate health and wellness package contains:

  • over 5 hours of nutritional talks on the fundamentals of robust nutrition, gut health and creating a less toxic home

  • a 60 page “How To” manual that sets you up for life

  • 5 online cooking classes (bone broth, slow cooks, organ meats, baked cakes and chocolate).

Co-presented with Marieke Rodenstein (Australia’s leading holistic dietician, nutritionist, and Kresser Institute functional medicine practitioner) this ultimate package provides you with ALL of the tools,  information and resources to reclaim and maintain vibrant health. 

Here are what people are saying about my Food As Medicine online package:

“I loved your Food as Medicine talk the other week and am so grateful to have received all your online cooking workshops as reference guides. It was so refreshing to hear from another like-minded person whom is so passionate about spreading awareness and cooking with real wholefoods. It re-affirmed all that I’m doing in the kitchen for my family’s nourishment. I also picked up some extra tips so I can perfect my bone broth and make it a gelatinous as yours and cooking at lower temperatures to achieve delicious dishes and reduce inflammation.” - Lee-Anne

“Thank you so much for the most amazingly inspirational workshop yesterday. You have done so much work over the years in this area and you are so incredibly generous to share it all. I found your workshop to be the best one I have ever attended of all wellness workshops, you are so passionate, knowledgeable and a natural educator. I would do this workshop again - I loved it that much!” - Rachael

Soulla thank-you so much for a wonderful afternoon today, packed with such valuable info. I really appreciate your honesty and willingness to share an incredible amount of wisdom. You have provided some great inspiration and motivation today, it was excellent!” - Sophie

“Just wanted to thank you for today - hands down the best 3 1/2 hours I've invested in the area of nutrition. Today's material tied it all together for me and is exactly the information I need to be able to fine-tune my diet and take it to the next (optimal) level. Thanks also again for allowing me to bring my teenage niece along - we spoke about our learnings all the way home. How lucky is she to have exposure to such powerful information as what was presented today at such a young age!!” - Nancy

“You’re an energetic, dynamic and articulate presenter and it is clear that you love what you do. It shines out of your face like sunlight when you talk. It was lovely to receive the warmth you offered us.” - Kendall

“I sat for 6 hours over the weekend totally engrossed in Soulla’s message for health, vitality and happiness. For someone who likes to spend every minute of the weekend outside having adventures, this was quite an achievement on her behalf. What a compelling and informative two sessions it was for me. Such incredible information and delivered in an easy to follow and thoroughly engaging way. You are certainly well on your way to helping people with their mismatch in nutrition! Going back over the history of nutrition put everything in perspective for me, and made me see things from place of much deeper understanding. Most importantly, Soulla is living breathing evidence of the truth of her message. She is so vital, glowing, and happy and her enthusiasm is inspirational. I left both workshops (Food as Medicine and Healthy Home/Healthy Swaps) feeling ready to optimize my heath even further, and as a health coach, more able to help my clients achieve their dream health and their dreams.” - Jessie 

“Soulla, thank you SO much for creating this amazing family. Thank you for the incredible work you do and for bringing so much joy and excitement into my life. I’m forever grateful to you for sharing your knowledge on food and diet & the 8 foundations of health. Your bone broth workshop has made my life SO much easier....I am so grateful to have come across the oils and your workshops and the challenge of then going on to host a gathering of my own & the pride and satisfaction of actually doing that. It brings me such comfort being able to connect with like minded mummas & not feel like a stranded person who is stuck at sea doing all this 'crazy' stuff (that I have no intention of stopping cos deep down I know it's right). I seriously sat on that table yesterday eating that sensational soup just smiling. It was such a wonderful day and all of these people just blow my mind. They're so beautiful and so friendly and then I got to shop at broth bar on the way home and fill my cupboard with all nutrient dense goodies! I can't thank you enough 🙏🙏”- Kerry 

“Thank you for being thorough, offering honest, inspiring information with your no nonsense approach! A great deal of it makes much sense to me and resonates so well with me. I appreciate and respect your living example of vibrant health.” – Jayne 

“Soulla and Marieke are a powerhouse of knowledge, passion and transformative advice. I loved their workshop and feel empowered and educated to create a truly healthy lifestyle for myself and my family.” - Jennifer  

“This talk changed my life!”- Ruby

 

The easiest and most profound way to offset the toxicity in our modern world

Becca Crawford

 
Screenshot 2021-03-09 at 20.08.04.png

Our bodies have not evolved to deal with the unprecedented level of toxicity that we are exposed to day to day. And when combined with suboptimal nutrition, lack of sleep, blue light at night, chronic stress, sedentary lifestyle, EMFs and nature divorcement – well, that’s a recipe for a health crisis and an epidemic of chronic illness and degenerative disease. 

The need to take care of our bodies - physically, emotionally and spiritually - is greater than ever before in human history. While there are a lot of things outside of our control, nourishing our body in all the ways it can be nourished and decreasing the toxicity in our homes (with our food, personal care products and household cleaning products) are things that are still very much within our control.

Eating a nutrient dense, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant rich diet goes a long way to offset and mop up the toxicity in our cells. Addressing our diet is, I believe, crucial in order to survive and thrive in this modern world. Your diet is what I call the low hanging fruit- the first and most obvious thing to address. Alongside this, we can start kicking the harsh chemicals in our personal care products and household cleaning products one by one as they start to run low, and healthy swap to toxic free, natural, and cost effective versions.
