Today we are going give advice to single parents everywhere!

We all know that parenting is hard at the best of times with a partner. The task is even more difficult when you are faced with raising your children on your own.

That is where today's guest Murielle Fellous, can help. Murielle is a certified Quantum Life Coach, an EFT/Tapping specialist and an Advanced Reiki Practitioner.

Murielle was born and raised in France. Now resides in Las Vegas Nevada where she raised two daughters and am still raising a son as a single mum.

Being a single mum is hard enough but when my kids became teenagers acting out in self destructive ways, the fear and feelings of powerlessness became overwhelming and unknowingly spiraled into depression.

That experience was so painful for her that when she bounced back using the tools to teach her coaching clients,. It is Muriel's mission to ensure that no single mum would struggle alone as she did!

Murielle redirected my coaching from helping dating women to helping moms.

She founded The Single Moms Doing It All podcast and coaching business where I help single moms prevent the downward spiraling into negative emotions and/or depression, so they can connect with their won power and inner wisdom to co-parent with the Universe.

Check out Murielle's work: https://www.singlemomsdoingitall.com/

And her free gift to you dear listener:

So what is this show all about?

In our first episode, we give you the rundown on what to expect.

Well first there is a lot of health misinformation out there on the internet, and this show is all about fact-checking and offering information about health from the point of view from an experienced health professional. We are here to set the record straight so you the listener can have a friendly, yet the confident voice that you can grow to know and trust.

So what does a Holistic GP do? In western medicine, we often treat the symptom alone with a minimal exploration of other aspects of a person. In holistic medicine, we treat the whole individual, through mind, body and spirit. Our bodies are a powerful defence system that has a deep-seated ability to heal oneself. We look objectively at both natural remedies and conventional medicine to direct our patients on the best course of action.

Hi everyone and welcome to our podcast! My name is Dr Ashwini and I am the principal doctor from the Sanctuary Medical and Wellness Centre in North Coogee Western Australia.

This podcast is also about healing and self-discovery, as we are all about holistic medicine. Prevention is often better than a cure. We don’t look at treating symptoms alone but instead look at treating the root cause. We explore the physical, mental, environmental, nutritional and spiritual aspects of a person. We also try to explore the connection between mind, body and spirit.

From each fortnight we'll have holistic health news, advice and expert opinions that will help you lead healthy and happy lives.
