You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of. - Jim Rohn.
At Harmoniance, we believe health isn’t just a state of being but a dynamic process that empowers individuals to live their best lives.
To achieve this, we use a unique and holistic approach called the 'S.E.L.F-inflicted Health Blueprint'.
This comprehensive strategy is designed to bring all aspects of your being into harmony, ensuring optimal health, healing, and longevity.
So, what exactly is the 'S.E.L.F-inflicted Health Blueprint'?
S.E.L.F stands for Synergies, Emotions, Lifestyle, and Fuel. Let’s delve into each of these components and discover how they work together to create a balanced, thriving life.
S: Synergies
Just as an orchestra requires every instrument to be in tune for a melodious performance, your body requires all systems to work synergistically. The Synergies component of our Blueprint focuses on achieving balance and harmony across your body's systems. Whether it's the interplay between your digestive and nervous systems or the synchronisation of your endocrine and circulatory systems, synergy is about making sure every part of your body is in sync. Through targeted therapies like Eden Method and holistic self-care practices like the MELT Method, we guide you in achieving this delicate yet vital balance.
E: Emotions
Emotional health forms the cornerstone of overall well-being. The Emotions aspect of the S.E.L.F Blueprint helps you develop emotional self-regulation skills to support mental, emotional, physical, and existential health. Tools and techniques from the science and research based HeartMath solutions help you manage stress, foster resilience, and develop greater mental clarity. Remember, a balanced emotional state is not just the absence of negative emotions but the ability to process and manage those emotions in a healthy way.
L: Lifestyle
The Lifestyle component encompasses everything from daily habits to long-term living strategies. It’s about creating a life that supports wellbeing. From physical movement, ample rest, and quality sleep, to engaging in fun activities and ensuring a non-toxic living environment, Lifestyle addresses day-to-day factors that affect your health. We also cover responsible device usage and integrating non-toxic personal care products. Adopting a healthy lifestyle is pivotal to maintaining balance and preventing future health issues.
F: Fuel
Just as a Formula 1 car requires high-grade fuel for peak performance, your body needs the right balance of nutrients, water, and oxygen. The Fuel component emphasises nourishing your body properly to achieve high performance. We the unique WildFit 90-day challenge and ‘Living WildFit’ principles, which transform your relationship with food and promote lasting change. Proper hydration, balanced nutrition, and mindful eating habits are key to fuelling your body effectively. There is often imbalance here, coupled with emotional eating - even in individuals who consider their day to day diet ‘healthy’. This is an eye-opening programme!

March is the first day of meteorological Spring 🌱
Consider what nature is doing right now. It has a vibrant energy, as the seeds, bulbs and leaves start to rapidly grow and burst forth! 🌱🌱
In the teachings of Chinese Medicine, the arrival of Spring heralds the time of the Wood Element, aligning closely with the essential functions of the Liver and Gallbladder.
This season marks a significant transition from the quiet, introspective energies of Yin to the vibrant, expansive energies of Yang, framing it as a critical period of transformation for everyone.
The essence of the Wood element encompasses growth, a deep sense of fairness, and notably, the emotion of anger.
From the standpoint of physiology, the Liver (representing Yin) and the Gallbladder (symbolising Yang) take centre stage during this season. The Liver is often depicted as the 'General,' commanding the flow of Qi or life force, the circulation of blood, the modulation and expression of emotions, and our innate impulse towards growth. Meanwhile, the Gallbladder, as the Liver's strategic partner, plays a pivotal role in decision-making and bile secretion.
The Liver's contribution to our well-being is multifaceted, stretching across both the physical and emotional realms. As spring unfolds, it's common for a range of emotions to emerge, with feelings of anger and a sense of injustice being particularly prominent. These emotions, whether they stem from unresolved issues or are triggered by recent events, tend to become more apparent with the change of seasons. Given the Liver's association with our eyes, this season also emphasises the importance of clear vision and perception.
To nurture the Wood element during spring, one effective approach is to immerse yourself in nature, especially in forested areas, connecting with the powerful energy of Wood. Engaging in intentional physical movement can also promote the smooth circulation of Qi, helping to alleviate both emotional and physical inertia.
Spring is an invitation to observe the natural world's transition from darkness to light, a process that mirrors our own growth and transformation. By stepping outside, we can witness nature's resilience and beauty, reminding us of our own potential to break through challenges, expand, and reshape our surroundings.
And so Spring is also the perfect time for us to grow too!

"Every year you make a resolution to change yourself. This year, make a resolution to BE yourself!" - unknown
Did you make a New Year resolution? Did you get started...?
As the New Year gets underway, many of us will have set resolutions for a better future. A common theme among such resolutions is a desire to improve fitness, lose weight, or quit a bad habit, such as drinking too much or smoking.
However, studies show that only a small percentage of people actually stick to their resolutions throughout the year. In this blog, we will explore the statistical likelihood of sticking to a new year resolution and delve into why a gradual focus on health is a more sustainable approach compared to quick fitness fixes.
The Harsh Reality of New Year's Resolutions
While making resolutions may seem like a promising start, the odds of successfully achieving them are often discouraging.
Researchers suggest that only 8% of people that make resolutions complete them. In fact, research goes on to show that 23% of people quit their resolution by the end of the first week, and 43% quit by the end of January. But why is it so difficult to stick to our goals?
The Pitfall of Quick Fitness Fixes
One common mistake many of us make when setting new year resolutions is approaching them with a "quick-fix" mentality. We expect immediate and tangible results, often targeting fitness goals alone without considering the broader spectrum of health. However, this approach tends to neglect the underlying factors essential for long-term success.
The Power of Gradual Health Focus
In contrast to quick fitness fixes, a gradual focus on overall health provides a more sustainable approach to achieving resolutions and maintaining positive change. Here's why:
1. Building Long-Term Habits
Achieving lasting change requires the development of new healthy habits. By directing our attention to improving various aspects of our health, such as nutrition, sleep, stress management, mental and emotional well-being, we have a greater chance of building a solid foundation of sustainable habits.
2. Avoiding Burnout
Quick fitness fixes often involve intense workouts and strict diets that can be overwhelming for both body and mind. Gradual health focus, on the other hand, allows for a more balanced approach. It encourages small, manageable steps that reduce the risk of burnout and increase the likelihood of long-term success.
3. Addressing the Underlying Causes
A holistic approach to health emphasises addressing the root causes of our wellness challenges rather than solely focusing on their symptoms. This allows us to overcome barriers such as emotional eating, stress-related behaviors, or unhealthy lifestyle patterns that may hinder our progress.
4. Cultivating a Mindset and Emotional Shift
When we set resolutions centred around health, it's important to shift our mindset from short-term results to long-term well-being, and to address any emotions that may be sneakily blocking our progress. A gradual health focus promotes self-compassion, patience, and consistency, enabling us to develop a more positive relationship with our minds, emotions and bodies and our overall wellness journey.
While the allure of quick fitness fixes may be tempting, the statistical reality of sticking to new year resolutions suggests that a gradual focus on health is a better approach. By embracing holistic habits, tackling underlying causes, and cultivating a long-term mindset, we increase our chances of achieving sustainable change.
So, this year, let's abandon the pursuit of instant results and embark on a journey of gradual health improvement that will truly transform our lives for the better.

COMBATTING FESTIVE OVERINDULGENCE
The festive season is an exciting time filled with joy, laughter, and togetherness. However, it can also be a time of excess when it comes to food, drinks, and celebrations. With indulgent meals, alcoholic spirits flowing, and an abundance of sweet treats, its’ no wonder many of us experience digestive issues and hangovers during this time. In this blog post, we'll explore how you can find natural relief and aid in finding balance using simple techniques from the Eden Method.
The rich and heavy foods often enjoyed during the holidays can take a toll on our digestive system. From bloating and gas to heartburn and constipation, these issues can make it challenging to fully enjoy the festivities. Eden Method, a holistic approach to well-being, offers techniques to support digestive health. By working with specific energy points, meridians, and exercises, practitioners can promote better digestion, stimulate the release of toxins, and restore balance within the body.
Hangovers
Celebrations sometimes get the best of us, and overindulgence in alcohol can lead to the dreaded hangover. Aside from the physical discomfort, hangovers can also affect our overall well-being, leaving us feeling tired, irritable, and unfocused. Eden Method techniques can provide relief and assist in minimising the severity and duration of hangovers. Techniques such as "Neurolymphatic Reflex Points" can be utilised to support the body's detoxification process, reduce inflammation, and restore energy flow.
Stress and Emotional Support
The holiday season can also bring about heightened stress and emotional turmoil, which can further impact our digestion and overall well-being. Eden Method offers a range of tools and exercises to help alleviate stress and promote emotional balance. By working with specific energy pathways, balancing the breath, and incorporating simple energy exercises into your daily routine, you can decrease stress levels, enhance emotional resilience, and maintain a sense of peace during this chaotic season.
Self-Care Practices
In addition to utilising Eden Method techniques, establishing self-care practices during the holiday season is crucial for maintaining health and vitality. This can include mindful eating, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and incorporating exercise and movement into your daily routine. These practices, when combined with Eden Method techniques, form a holistic approach to supporting your body's natural healing abilities and maintaining balance amidst the festivities.
Conclusion
The holiday season can be a double-edged sword, bringing joy and celebration while also potentially challenging our health and well-being. By incorporating Eden Method techniques into our daily lives, we can alleviate digestive issues, minimise hangover symptoms, and support our emotional well-being.
Remember, moderation is key, and it's important to listen to our bodies, practice self-care, and seek professional guidance when needed. Getting your energies in good general balance can also be beneficial in preventing discomfort and supporting recovery.
Let's make this holiday season one of balance, harmony, and vibrant health.
