About Shelley

When Shelley Gawith’s health crashed in 2010, she lost all her physiological functions and was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She sought help from specialists but no one could give her direct answers. Shelley knew it was time to reclaim her power back. She decided to concentrate on functional nutrition. 

Piecing together her health history by using the practice, Shelley knew she was born with hypothyroid, a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone which affects the metabolism. Today, Shelley’s mission in life is to spread awareness about the benefits of functional nutrition, and how it helped her and many lives to thrive despite their health conditions.

“If I was to have this, what is it going to create, looking at the light and dark of the situation. There are always going to be challenges, especially in this world where women are expected to be superhuman, do it all, and hold it all together. It is just not a reasonable expectation.

“It was really dysfunctional. Our home just felt like I just wanted to cry everyday because our youngest son was pushing all the buttons.  I was his favorite toy which is a nurtured heart terminology so I got most of the flack. He pushed all of my buttons and I pushed all of his buttons purely because we didn't know what we didn't know that we were parenting upside down so badly. ” Lillian Reekie 

In this episode, Lillian Reekie's Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) educator shares he passion for education and how her career in childhood education morphed through her parenting journey.

We are our children's favorite toys, they are seeking connection and know what button to press.  

The three stands of the nurtured heart approach are: Absolutely No, Absolutely Yes, and Absolutely Clear. 

Our portfolio of not being good enough, and always getting in trouble, means that this is the self-talk we carry through life, in our adult relationships, in our career choices, with Nurtured Heart Approach we build our child's inner wealth and portfolio of beliefs.

“Our gut drives our behaviors, we are barely human, we have 20,000 human genes, which is 2/3rds of the amount of genes as a flea which has 30,000. We have 40,000 species of bacteria, 2 million genes, our bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasites covers all of our body, they are even finding bacteria in our breath now, it controls our thoughts, our heart beating, our lungs, the way we walk, blink, so we have to look after our gut” Jackie Bowker 

In this episode, Jackie shares how she fused her learnings to become a mind, gut and nutrition expert and CEO of the Global Feel Better Institute.  

Jackie shares how after discovering Psyh-K (energy psychology), then in a conversation with Dr. Bruce Lipton on her podcast Feel Better Now she found a missing link in healing that ‘Our thoughts become our reality”. 

Jackie then fused functional nutrition and Phsh-K to reprogram the body using both the mind and the gut. 
 
Tapping into our mind for total health empowerment is catalytic to change “changer your energy, change your life” 

Our neurotransmitters most of them are made in our gut lining, for every message the brain sends to the gut, 9 messages are sent back from the gut to the brain. Serotonin and dopamine are made in the gut lining.  

Common health roadblocks Jackie sees in her practice: 

1. Be clear about what you want to feel in your health; 

2. What is going on in your gut;  

3. Take one step in front of the other (find your primary care team) 

Global Feel Better Institute started health retreats in 2022 and supports participants to remove the layers they wish to need to achieve their goals in a compact environment where they are able to focus on themselves. The collective energy of the group was very powerful.  

The retreats are for you if you are looking for a rapid transformation to reset and reprogram and neutralise limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors in a short space of time. Reset, Recharge and Reprogram your mind and your body and the impact these retreats have on our external behavior and creativity to live out our purpose. 

Highlights & Resources: 

• We become what we eat; 
• How Jackie began her journey as a mind, gut and nutrition expert; 
• Phsyk K – and how our thoughts become our reality 
• Using our thoughts and our beliefs to create the transformations we want 
• Our neurotransmitters are made in the gut lining 
• Knowing roadblocks in healing, understanding what you want  
• Cellular health, rebalancing the mind, learning to love yourself 
• How retreats can reset your health fast;

“It sort of introduced me to the whole concept of food combining and the fact that what we are putting in our bodies actually affects how we operate and how we live and how we feel and how, you know, just everything. 

You know, you talk about the gut-brain link and. All our emotions and you know, a lot of hormones are produced in the gut and it's just like a matter of just taking small steps and working in a direction and not having any desired or specific outcome, but just trying stuff on and seeing if it works. If it works, great, keep going that way if it doesn't try something else Just start on your healing journey” -Tim McNeilly

In this episode, Tim helps to reeducate health-conscious people about fermenting, while all the way making it FUN. 
 
Over the last 10+ years, Tim has successfully been running fermenting workshops around Australia which cover 15-20 traditional ferments. Tim has run over 220 workshops and assisted around 2,000 people to discover the amazing health benefits that these fermented foods can provide, and he’s passionate about people taking charge of their health, and supports them to do so. 

Certain strains of bacteria are missing from our diet that are paramount to our health and wellbeing. Fermented foods support this reinoculation of the gut to support wellbeing. Start slowly and navigate a fermented food that is right for your body. 

Meads, tonics, sauerkrauts, kefir, villi – all part of Tim’s toolkit in his training on how to ferment and how this has taken him from craving foods that don’t support him versus foods that nourish him moving consciously to another place.  

Humans have evolved to support the bacteria, not the other way around.  The structure of modern medicine has lost its focus and its been sidetracked away from western or eastern medicine.  

 Highlights & Resources: 

• Reeducating health-conscious people about fermenting; 
• How ferments are functional foods; 
•  How commercial milk responds in the body; 
• How fermented villi dairy can be tolerated by people; 
• Book reference William Davis : SuperGut; 
• Most yoghurts have 12 different strains of bacteria but cannot pass through acidity of the stomach; 
• Colony forming Units (CFU’s) in probiotics; 
• Start slowly with fermented products; 
• Kefir means feel good in Turkish; 
• Take small steps in your healing journey; 
• How healing comes down to if we value ourself and are we worthy enough; 
• Detaching from things that ‘are or should’ 
• Honoring bio-individuality; 
• 2-3kg of (10,000 strains of) bacteria on our skin

"The symptoms are really your body's way of telling you something's not working properly. It doesn't really matter what the symptoms are.  

It is just saying the Nervous system can't talk. It doesn't have English. So it's the language of the nervous system is actually to give you symptoms saying I'm not functioning as well as I could. And then when you get more symptoms, it's really just saying, “Hello, you're not listening to me.” So, it starts screaming." - Rob Sher  
 

In this episode, I speak to Robert Sher about Neural plasticity the creation of Neurological Networks – a process which creates new pathways in the body to restore health.  

We talk about where the nervous system does not adapt correctly, this is where illness or symptoms begin. Literally a feedback system of the body which then needs to be interpreted. 

We cover off that not all muscle testing is the same, and Rob’s system for muscle testing is fascinating as it enables powerful detailed outcomes based on the specificity and percentage outcomes that he asks for.  

We chat about dysfunctional breathing and the role this is playing in Human Health.  

Rob is a humble genius in this field and explains so effortlessly, how easy it is to bring the body into balance by understanding the framework of networks within the body. 

Highlights & Resources: 

• What is neurology?  
• Patterns of behavior in the body are the highways that connect everything together; 
• Physical symptoms are an output of a system that is not running as well as it should be running; 
• How nerves pertain to our body systems and human health; 
•  Neural plasticity – creating new pathways in the body without symptoms; 
• Robs healing journey with a glycogen storage disease 
• Genetics are a library – if your nervous system is looking to do something, it will look to the genetic library 
• Epigenetic trauma – how this attaches to the genes 
• With Health Truth is Truth 
• Muscle testing discovered 20,000 years ago! 
• Virus’ are opportunists 
• Do not fight candida – invite it to leave – it is an umpire to see what is going on.  
• Not all muscle testing is the same

“My ideal client is somebody who is ready for that level of connection, ready to make the changes that need to be made for them to support their health, and ready to connect within, because if you are not ready for that, you are not really ready for spinal flow, as that is what spinal flow is all about, it's about developing that connection within your body, trusting your body, trusting that we do have this innate intelligence, this life force energy, and it's all about bringing us back into balance, bringing us back into homeostasis, our body is working really hard to bring us back into homeostasis, sometimes it needs to form some protective mechanisms to support us, to keep us alive today that throws us out of balance, it's like the foundations of nutritional therapy, bring the foundations into balance and you bring the body into balance, bring the spinal flow gateways into balance, and you bring the body into balance” Sue Penfold 

In this episode, we speak to Sue Penfold about how she pivoted to Spinal Flow after recognising that we have everything within us to heal. In the clinic, Sue monitors the wave through inhalation and exhalation whilst her clients undertake spinal flow.  

Imagine a therapy that engages your innate intelligence to flow like a wave throughout your spine and body.  One that allows you to connect within while experiencing the gentle release of stress, pain, and trauma.  These layers are peeled back one at a time, at the exact perfect moment, when your body is ready to let them go.   

While receiving this incredibly gentle technique, your body relaxes and the mind quietens.  You drop down into a deep parasympathetic state where your own healing potential, as an energy force, flows intelligently.  At that moment it knows precisely what your highest priority needs to be addressed.  It could be a pain, chemical toxicity, or stored trauma.   

You may feel an emotion arise.  One that is trapped and possibly holding you back or causing pain. You feel it, acknowledge it, release it and it is gone.  There is no need to analyse, discuss or even know where it came from.  All you need to do is express it and let go. 

This is the experience of the Spinal flow technique.  Every session is unique as all humans are unique.  But everyone that experiences the spinal flow technique say the same thing.  They are more relaxed, and more at ease with less stress, pain, and tension. With the surprising bonus of feeling more empowered and self-assured.   

The spinal Flow technique is a modality developed and founded by an Australian Chiropractor, Dr. Carli Axford.  It is based on the principles of chiropractic care, the science of the nervous system, the philosophy of our body’s innate intelligence with the ability to self heal, and the art of touch. 

Awaken, Pause, Passion Gateway, Centre Gateway, Power Gateway, Foundation Gateway, Base Gateway 

 Highlights & Resources: 

• How Sue Penfold pivoted from nutrition to Spinal Flow; 
• Our bodies' innate intelligence for healing and how it shows in our spine; 
• Our vital force energy that resides within our sacrum; 
• Physical, emotional, and chemical blockages show up as a vertebra that is stuck; 
• How the body perceives and stores an event; 
• What is pain from a spinal flow point of view?; 
• The correlation between pain and emotional release; 
• 7 gateways of the spine & 33 access points to connect them;

 “State and Transition - your landscape is in a certain state, and that state is being created by the management that has gone on in that land. So all the weeds and all the diseases and pests that are on that land are basically coming there because you've created a state through management they thrive. 

So when you change your management, it transitions to a state that those things don't like, and so they move out of that system. And so that's how I related that then to human health. When I did my human health talks, I basically said this is exactly the same as a human body as you would when you're working with a landscape” Mike Parish. 

In this episode, we speak about Mike's history in conventional agricultural and animal management practices where he identified that they were treating the symptoms experienced, but not the actual cause. These pursuits felt relentless and as an observer in the 60’s his father used 6 chemicals, however in Mike's career, this grew to 40 chemicals being used. This is where Mike recognized ‘Things were wrong’ and the advice sought from experts was conflicting.  
 
How you need to look at everything, Mike started to consider everything he was seeing in his landscape to adopt in his management going forward.  After doing grazing for management course, the way he viewed farming turned upside down.  

Mike shares his decision-making philosophy on how to create happiness in your life which is how he decided to manage farming holistically. These principles have enabled him to be successful in his life.  

Multi-species farming supports soil health, which in turn creates a symbiotic system creating more carbon in the soil when managed properly. 

With holistic farm management, more grass diversity becomes the benchmark alongside more diversity of animal species.

I help women over 35 who are struggling with anxiety, brain fog, low energy and health overwhelm cut through the noise and get back to the foundations their body needs to function well.

My approach combines functional nutrition, nervous system support and simple, practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies to help you create more capacity, clarity and confidence in your health.
