GOOD GUTS | Wisdom & Wellness Session
with Dr. Natalie Fitzpatrick (Acupuncturist & Integrative Medicine Practitioner)
& Briellen McAlpine (Breathwork Practitioner, Senior Yoga & Meditation Teacher)
The Wisdom and Wellness Session that gives you the knowledge and support that you need to:
- make informed health choices, moving beyond overwhelm and denial
- cut through the minefield of health fads, BS and pills that either don’t deliver or create new issues
- learn ways to support your body in being as healthy as it can be, starting with your Gut/ GIT
- get your mind & nervous system aligned with your goals - get past your inner saboteur
[ all disease begins in the gut. and so does your health. ]
WHY JOIN US WHEN YOU’VE GOT DOCTOR GOOGLE?
The reason we developed this course was to solve the confusion around this free information flooding our minds and sometimes creating far more harm than remedy.
Joining us in person will give you that "AH-HA" moment when pieces fall into place.
As a therapist I have treated so many people who have spent thousands on their health and walked out of clinics with bags full of herbs/pills/liquids etc that they piss and shit down the toilet because:
a) their nervous system remains on ALERT i.e. flight /fight/freeze/fold and their gut has shut down i.e. CANNOT ABSORB FOOD LET ALONE HIGH CONCENTRATION HERBS
b) staying on restrictive diets for way longer than clinically necessary and or actually starving their microbiome
c) missing the point of the SMALL BOWEL and its importance in our life and digestion
d) taking one species of probiotic and incorrectly colonising the large bowel
e) a massive hit of antimicrobials has been prescribed to knock out parasites or H.Pylori and the gut has become savagely disrupted
f) missing the point that it is more important to reduce inflammation than increase our gut bugs
We teach strongly that there is no magic pill. We bust the myths that currently circulate around our gut and our life in this western world.
We provide cutting edge tools that you can implement in every day life at no cost ( time investment ) that decrease the savage effects of stress upon our whole system.
We teach you to listen to your body and why some people can eat things and others can't.
We help you to come to know if you have enough gut acid protecting your entire GIT from commensal overgrowth in the small bowel (SIBO).
We help sort through the dogma around food and diets and fads and come back to simplicity, science and nourishing traditions.
We look forward to seeing you in person this Sunday.

““Nat and Brie are a powerful and complementary combination in the Good Guts workshop.
Living with an autoimmune condition, and having experienced a life time of gut issues, I am always keen to learn more things that can help improve my health.
In this workshop, I learnt some key foods to avoid eating; got confirmation on some things I was already implementing; explored new ways to dial down my nervous system and I came away with a sense of hope that my guts one day, will indeed be good!””

" All disease begins in the gut."
Hippocrates
And so does healing.
Good Guts - our signature health and wellbeing workshop - is about helping you to get your 'guts' (aka your digestive system) back in order as a strong and healthy baseline to your overall health and wellbeing.
Going beyond good digestion - good guts include a strong gut wall and healthy microbiome, supporting good immunity, good moods, healthy immune responses, decreasing our chances of cancer and autoimmune conditions, and helping reduce any existing disease load we may already have.
Gut discomfort and poor health don’t have to be your life.
Come along and take part in a powerful morning that includes:
- current on-point information,
- ancient wisdom,
- yoga and meditation practices
....all focused on supporting you to having your guts 'going and glowing' with good health, so that you are empowered to live your life vibrantly, in a healthier, more radiant body.
This session is perfect for you if you are struggling with gut issues - such as bloating, IBS, leaky gut, food mal-absorption/allergies - autoimmune conditions, poor immunity, cancer, joint disease, skin issues, as well as mental and emotional challenges... the list goes on.
In fact, good health and good moods begin with your gut, and most of us will benefit from enhancing our digestive health.
What is now being verified scientifically is that many health issues can be supported, avoided and potentially healed by addressing the health and functioning of our guts/digestive system.
Together we will explore:
easy to implement lifestyle tips to help you heal and support your gut function,
do-able yoga and meditation to support your bodies ability to self regulate and self heal - functions that can be compromised or lost when our guts are 'leaky' or otherwise not able to function naturally.
Nourishment from food depends
upon two powers:
the ability to receive food
& the power to transform that
food into nutrients.
In our modern world, many of our food sources are now too processed or marred by poor soils, genetic modification, chemical fertilisers, pesticides, fungicides and over farming that depletes the land of nutrients... which means less nutritional value in those plants for us too.
The old saying "You are what you eat" no longer suffices: our glaring reality is that we are what we eat eats...and that includes the plants.
Another old medical saying - death begins in the bowel - is proving statistically to be true.
GOOD GUTS: we will look at the phenomenon that is commonly called 'Leaky Gut' - or intestinal permeability syndrome, for the more medically inclined among us. This is where our gut wall has become too permeable, leading to malfunction in the intestinal tight junctions, creating imbalances in our microbiome and allowing toxins, microbes and poorly digested food particles into our bloodstream.
When this happens it causes inflammation throughout your body, which set us up for many non-genetic diseases.
Again - all disease begins in the gut.
QUESTION:
Are you ready to actively participate in enhancing your health & wellbeing??
In this workshop we will look at all of the major factors that trigger Leaky Gut, and ways in which we can help our microbiome and gut to recover their function - so your digestion, transformation and excretion systems work well and support you to reduce your risk and the impact of disease.
An important thing to remember in all this is that there is hope: your gut lining CAN heal, and chronic disease can actually resolve.
This session is for you if you are looking to learn about ways you can support yourself to reduce your risk of dis-ease states - from the common cold, through autoimmune conditions to cancer - and support yourself better with any existing conditions.
~ KNOWLEDGE IS EMPOWERMENT ~
We know - there is a lot of information out there, there is no 'one answer', the causes are as multilayered as the potential solutions and the key for you is not necessarily the key for me.
And there is hope, there are great (read: actually helpful, not just the latest fad) and easy things you can be doing everyday to help and support yourself - from the foods you eat, to things you do.
Even daily meditation is a powerful part of the equation - it helps you have a clear mind & make better life choices, as well as supporting your bodies natural healing capacities.
~ ACTION IS TRANSFORMATION ~
We will share:
- SIMPLE, SMART techniques that you can instantly integrate into your daily life
- DYNAMIC YOGA to support digestive health and de-stress your systems (chronic stress = disease)
- POWERFUL MEDITATION & BREATHWORK practices that will help you to reset your autonomic nervous system - so you can 'rest and digest - feed and breed", decrease cortisol and increase your resilience - your ability to shift between active and rested states.
Importantly, we use these techniques and practices in our own lives - we know they work, we know they are doable, we know the challenges and ways to help you make it work for you.
– enhance your assimilation and digestion of life - good food, good mood – increase energy levels & stamina – boost immunity - speed recovery - reduce joint pain and excess weight

Natalie and Brie are a dynamic teaching and healing duo - Natalie has been an acupuncturist for over 25 years with over 10 years experience lecturing in subjects such as food as medicine; Brie has been moving energy and teaching kundalini yoga & meditation for well over 15; we are both experienced educators/trainers in our respective fields and we LOVE bringing this knowledge to you intelligently, engagingly, and usefully.
Between us we bring you a wealth of experience and information gleaned from the medical and alternative health worlds; deliver it clearly (untangling the jargon and not forgetting the odd belly laugh), all with the deep understanding that comes from doing this work ourselves, on ourselves as well as our clients.
As holistic practitioners, we love to teach people how to integrate traditional food medicine and yogic techniques with current scientific evidence to motivate individuals and communities to eat well, live well and inspire others to live healthy lives.
We know that we all learn best by example - we live what we teach, not always 'perfectly' - whatever that is - always in a real life way, and always from our hearts.
