I spent my morning ironing all the clothes in the back room. I expected that it would take 3 or 4 hours, but it took less than two! Through the process, I discovered that I have WAY TOO MANY CLOTHES!! There is no way that the clothes I ironed today will fit in my wardrobe, so they remain in the back room wardrobe until I can sort through and cull from my collection.
I feel a 'ladies only' garage sale coming on. I suppose I should include 'men who like to dress up as a lady' in my advertising. Numerous pairs of shoes, handbags, jewellery pieces and items of clothing to go to new loving homes.
From there, I made lunch which was yesterday's lamb shanks in tomato and onion gravy with vegetables.
I chopped up a whole pumpkin to cook up for the dog food which I will finish tomorrow.
We watched the football, until Adoring Husband was called out with the SES to provide sandbags for some flooded areas in Toogoom.
While he was out, I took the opportunity to do some research into Naturopaths in the local area.
Firstly, I read their summary, then if they had a website, I checked that and finally, I browsed their Facebook page.
The first Naturopath told a story on her FB page about how her week had been very stressful, so she took some time in the morning to walk along the beach with a friend and then shared coffee and scones with that friend.
* So I crossed her off my list .. she is not very health conscious if she's eating scones with sugary jam and comes across (to me) as an emotional eater. If she doesn't care enough about her own health, then I'm not going to trust her with mine.
The next one was a male Naturopath with 17 years experience, but 2004 was his last known training.
* That's a no - I don't feel that he is up-to-date with current trends.
Number three made me feel a bit sick to the stomach as she described a patient of hers who was a ten year old with terminal cancer and she used hypnosis and creative visualisation to help her go through her wish list. Since she passed away, she has helped the family to deal with their grief through hypnosis and counselling.
* Nope .. I want someone who's aim is to help me fight my illness/disease and bring me back to vibrant health!
Next was a male Naturopath who specialised in massage, Chinese Medicine and Reflexology, but it seemed that he was more focussed on people who practised sport or dance.
* Sport and dance are not my forte, so that's another nope!
The fifth Naturopath was mostly into massage and intuitive healing.
* I'm a big believer in 'intuition' - but not for healing, so there is another one crossed off the list.
Then there was a Salt Therapist. His list included healing asthma, psoriasis, hay fever, allergies etc
* Salt therapies don't really cover the area that I'm looking at, which is detoxification and cleansing.
Number seven was a very experienced Naturopath with 27 years experience, but her training is very dated and after going to her website, her nutritional beliefs are so old that she still counts calories, removes fat from the diet and encourages 'low fat' yoghurts/milks/cheeses etc.
* That's a big black cross against her name.
Lucky number eight seems to be the most promising, but he does not have a website and sadly, hasn't posted on his FB page since December last year.
The information that I found, showed that he shared the same health values as I do, like paleo lifestyle, no sugar, high fat, organic food, oil pulling, building the immune system with herbs and nutrition to fight disease and illness, internal and external detoxes, various forms of cleansing and he advertised FROG boxes at regular intervals.
* I will do some follow up and see if he is still practising.
I will also do further research in the Sunny Coast area .. I'm sure there will be plenty to choose from down that way!
Look at that! It's almost 1am! Best get to bed!
Nite all.
