The French Naturopath

I am passionate about helping women become who they were meant to be and overcome their physical and emotional challenges

[samanthathefrenchnaturopath]

As we are entering another phase, I am  called to run an other beta version of my re-Ignite the Divine Feminine Energy within Why? Because it is time women learn how to become what they were made to be. It is time women mend old stories and wounds to discover their true potential. It is time we become our own best friend instead of our worst critic. It’s time to bring forth more universal feminine energy at the surface of the Earth. And it all starts from within. The program will run for 7 weeks online every Monday from 9.30am for up to 90 minutes. The investment is $250 Start date: November 16th If you are interested and want to know more, feel free to contact me If you want to enrol, you can do so here: https://thefrenchnaturopath.as.me/feminineenergy I am looking forward to watching you blossom on your journey #feminineenergy #journeywithin #youareworthit #becomewhoyouweremadetobe #healingstartswithin #mending #becomeyourbestfriend #thefrenchnaturopath https://www.instagram.com/p/CHbhNzRF-Da/?igshid=155qqsgjt93xc

“The idea is not to live forever but to create something that will” For me the “something” that will live forever is the impact of the work I am doing with women is having on their children and community. The more a woman steps into her true self, the bigger impact she has because she is free from trying to fit in moulds that don’t fit, free from competition, free from guilt of not meeting the standards set by others. Because she loves who she is. Unapologetically. And by embodying who she truly is she allows her children and others in her circle to do the same.

Following my earlier post here is my first attempt at my books techniques and recipes. Result: crust was crunchy but the inside wasn’t as I had expected (and yes I did want it to look like the picture in the book 😜) The taste is good. I have to say it’s quite tricky because I am used to knead my dough and these recipes don’t require it. So I am still to learn those new skills. Practice makes perfection as the saying goes. We shall see what tomorrow brings 😜 #newrecipes #trialanderrors #bakingbread #determinedtomakefluffybread #onmywaytobakebaguette #eatrealfood #homecooking #thefrenchnaturopath https://www.instagram.com/p/CFehwC4lnFG/?igshid=1ma58gcau2six

Someone will be baking very soon 😜 I have to say I’m amazed at how much my cooking has improved with my new oven. Now onto trying to get the crunchiest and fluffiest airy bread. #lovemybirthdaypresent #homecooking #breadbaking #eatrealfood #onmywaytosourdough #onmywaytobakedecentbaguette #thefrenchnaturopath https://www.instagram.com/p/CFb2NvelSTB/?igshid=anbkpzzscl6i

My yearly chicken anatomy review and its result: “roulade de poulet aux pistaches” 😋 (and chicken soup) And since I don’t know how to translate that I’ll let you look it up 😜 What wouldn’t I do for an exquisite meal! A lot of time and hard work. Every year from whole chicken to roulade and chicken soup. But one thing for sure, they taste delicious. And as you can tell I can’t sow for my life 🤪🤣 #cookingafeast #eatrealfood #chickensoup #rouladedepoulet #traditions #lovemynewappliances #onceayearcooking #foodforthesoul #thefrenchnaturopath https://www.instagram.com/p/CFQ_5UglzLy/?igshid=1geiql2tyywee

I found #artichokes ! Yay! One of my fav #vegetables but often people don’t know how to cook them. In France, we call it the meal of the poor, the only meal you have more of once you’ve finished with it than when you started. Whilst in other #traditions they only eat the heart (the part deep under all those beautiful leaves and “hair”) So ont the cooking: Wash your artichokes Snap the stem at the base (all the woody part should snap right off, no need for a knife, unless you need to flatten them so that they stand on a plate) Put in the pressure cooker (they need to be tightly snug to one another) Add the juice of half a lemon (roughly squeeze it by hand) and drop the half lemon in the pot Add salt to your liking Cover with water And set to pressure cook for 20 minutes. In the meantime, prepare your vinaigrette mixing mustard (Dijon mustard, the real one please 😜 the others are way too sweet), extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Put in small ramequins (1 per artichoke/person) Once cooked, use tongues to place one artichoke per plate with a ramequin. Don’t throw away the water!!! (See below why) Now how to eat them: Peel one leaf and dip the fleshy part into the vinaigrette and scrape with your teeth. Repeat until you come to the very small leaves or hair. If you have the small leaves (I mean tiny things) you can either take the whole lot and dip into the sauce and eat them or discard them. Then you have found the heart. Some people like it, others don’t. You can either eat it right away or save it for a later dish/salad. Now for the water that you saved. Once cooled, place in a large jug and into the fridge (or not) and drink first thing in the morning. This will support your liver and digestive function (and if you ask me it tastes better than ginger or lemon water in the morning). Be sure to drink it all within a couple of days as it spoils quickly.

#thefrustrationsofcookingfromscratch Hand mixer 1 : Thermomix 0 (actually getting -1.000.000 points by now I’m so frustrated! 😜) Everything was going smoothly until the last minute 😤 This is not the first time my beloved thermomix is letting me down on the mayonnaise front. Oh how I love my hand mixer right now! 🙏❤️ At least we still have mayo for the chicken tonight 😌 What was/is your most frustrating moment in the kitchen? #mayonnaise #cooking #cookingfromscratch #weekend #familydinner #thefrenchnaturopath https://www.instagram.com/p/CEJAftVlf8S/?igshid=i7wg721wfv27

You know that moment you get out of your comfort zone? Well that’s me now. As I am preparing for my very first online group program based on the Feminine Power program to a very select few of my friends I kept thinking “what if this could be helpful for others?” So, I make the announcement now for a 7-week online program that starts tomorrow on Thursday July 23rd at 9.30am AEDT (because, you know, I could have too many people if I announced it earlier 🤷‍♀️ To be honest I am way outside my comfort zone in opening it up to others, yet I still want to practice more of what I learnt and if it helps even just an other woman then it’s a bonus) The investment is $99 for the 7-week program My promise: learning as much as you are and doing my absolute best to deliver the teaching of one of the best course I have ever taken. What we’ll learn: overcome our old stories and habits, what is the feminine energy and how to step into it to connect to live in accordance to our deepest desires So if you are keen to join the adventure please go to https://thefrenchnaturopath.as.me/feminineenergy #newdepths #outofmycomfortzone #helpingwomen #raisingthefeminineenergy #thefrenchnaturopath https://www.instagram.com/p/CC7uVztF1mb/?igshid=un3m96x6eetm

There are a lot of uncertainties and fear at the moment. Some are asking “what can I do?” despite feeling helpless The best thing we can do is to go inwards, learning to sit with oneself and listening to our thoughts and feelings. Where do they sit in our body? What do they look and feel like? What are they teaching me or what do they want to tell me? Are they helping me right now? Since most wont be helping more often than not, observe them without judgement. See where they go or shift. Are they related to a past event? How old was I? Has this event been so important for me that this event made me think that I shouldn’t do this or that, be like this or like that, etc? As you feel your observation fleeting and being replaced with a wave of emotions, being yourself back by focussing on your breathing. Then move around and pull out a journal (or pieces of paper) and let your writing flow. Once finished close your journal and read the following day to find out the lessons and how you came to feel that way. Later that day observe your emotions and feelings again and this time try to notice if you can lovingly let them go and be replaced with compassion and empathy your best friend has for you.

Yesterday in my FB group I was talking about the benefits of black tourmaline and I came across the beautiful idea of creating a negativity removal jar. You will need: - a clean glass container because glass is a non-porous material - some sea salt or Epsom salts (here is used Celtic sea salt) - cleansed or charged #blacktourmaline - any other herb you may be drawn towards to add to the grounding and cleansing properties of black tourmaline. Here I used fresh white sage, but you could use garden sage for #purification and/or lavender for #calming , pine needles for extra #cleansing and purification, rosemary for #protection lemon balm for #spiritualcleansing Just place it where you need it most, or, if you want the energy to flow through your house, place it in the most central room. It feels so good to play with two of my favorite #healingtools !!! #raisingmyvibrations #energy #crystals #herbs #homecare #selfcare #healing #thefrenchnaturopath https://www.instagram.com/p/CBkCSSQlcpe/?igshid=1xjj0y869reka

So my daughter inspired me to try #sourdough but the idea of throwing away so much starter just doesn’t sit right with me. So I’m looking for recipes where I can use my unfed starter. So today I made #pretzels 🥨 Not exactly the shape (I’m obviously not very good at putting them into shape) nor the silky crust texture and a pretty bready taste. But they are #delicious Do you have a recipe for using my unfed starter? #lookingforinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CBAGyYvFBRJ/?igshid=18ehdwvo2bfkw

2020 was the year I had actually planned my marketing. Guess what! it all turned to dust when I had a look at the new TGA guidelines according to which I can’t tell you how to build your immune system (because after all we were heading into winter and the change of season for some of us is when we get the sniffles). Yeah I know! All these years studying natural medicine and I can’t give any advice, not even in a social media post because I’m a qualified professional. Go figure! 🤷‍♀️ However I am still offering online consultations. So feel free to contact me to support you on your healing journey. So I’m going to take a different approach and maybe bring about my woo-woo side. Who knows! For the time being I’ll talk about #foodforthesoul and my rescued rye bread. To be fair I really thought this post would be an epic fail. But it turned out to be an #awesomewin It’s deliciously crunchy! And unfortunately I can’t give you the recipe because I had to rescue the dough so I ended up adding a few things by eye. My experiment taught me that not all flours are the same and that I will try to salvage my cooking as much as I can 😉 #cookingathome #thegreat2020bakeyourownbreadexperiment #eatrealfood #thefrenchnaturopath https://www.instagram.com/p/CA4Dw66F618/?igshid=1pdt79h5ckris

Lots of #mushrooms in my garden at the moment. The top ones actually have a darker brown to them. Whereas the bottom ones are white. Any idea what they are? And how come they are suddenly popping up (never had them before). #amazementofnature #donthaveacluewhattheyare #help #notsomuchofagardener #didntevenplantthem #thefrenchnaturopath #whoobviouslydoesntdogardening https://www.instagram.com/p/B_y8ExOFpbB/?igshid=scmhtooy6b83

Right right... so now that I’m finally set up (aka after looong hours -thanks to technology) I still can’t start studying because little missy decided to come and visit me. And what better place than the very paper I take my notes on and purring away... I think it’s time for a cuppa! By then end of which school will be over for my kids. #gowiththeflow #notmeanttostudytoday #carpediem #shessocute #catlife #thefrenchnaturopath https://www.instagram.com/p/B_oP9xxlyer/?igshid=k4w6a664lme1
