The reminders hit home hard your offerings are bold and real and honest and brutal and are sooo very necessary in our world!

I find relief to come here and tune into what you have to share, it is exemplary and aspiring and m these are the words that I wish to pass on to my daughter and her daughter's. Thank you for doing this.

Humanity is changing rapidly and becoming too far removed from source, unless we work to remind ourselves and speak our truth I fear that the human race will only drown in more pain and greed and medicalisation and automation...

Listening to the words you speak is like re-programming our cells with hope that this will then find a way to express outwards in bigger ways. Speaking for myself I too have been impacted by unfair, medical, top down systems and although the road to recovery is long as I am far from an activist meeting you, Fiona has been a push in unravelling my greater self, to activating my voice and redefining my purpose so thank you x

Aaaahhh dearest Lexi....thankyou for allowing the warrior self in me to support you into a greater sense of honesty, truth and clarity. The country we live in is a hotbed of patriarchal dominance which is fearbased . Love is at times gentle, warm and caressing and sometimes fearsome in its capacity to honour and protect ✨️ 💖 so thankyou for your fabulous feedback, and receiving and enjoying what I have to give. Much love

Thank you thank you thank you Fiona🙏 Yes I’m with you. Please continue to ‘show up’ in our community, to hold space for authenticity and truth. The essence of all you are & share, reminds me that it’s okay for me to be myself. My feeling of aloneness is diluted!

I so need this as part of my own healing.

I witnessed trauma of medicalisation as a nurse and personally experienced trauma during medicalisation of childbirth. Best results I’ve seen is when natural & modern medicine are allowed to work together in a wholistic approach. Sadly this approach is not generally understood or valued in western medicine and deemed to be too expensive. Even in palliative care, medicalisation is prioritised. I think this is slowly changing but change is slow.

I love your raw honesty and intensity of your expression for truth. ❤️

Aaaahh dear Susie, Thank you for your support, clarity and ability to connect. Yes i agree,doctors and nurses used to be taught homeopathy, herbalism waaaaaaaaaaaay back before allopathic medical schools were established. My heart often aches with such compassion for all those young people as we all were at one time who go into medical training thinking they are doing it to save lives, to be of service, to be a good person and that dream and ideology gets taken away from them by the system.... the betrayal is huge on their heartspace. you have to be SO incredibly strong to give patient care and walk the line knowing what you know as a nurse and i would be giving you a BIG HUG if i could....thank you for checking in. Thank you for risking healing, I am here <3.

Medicalise our minds too? Just pump in the sedatives. Does anyone want to know WHY ONE NEEDS THE MEDICATION?

The medical whatever is not human related in most cases. I'm not referring to childbirth I'm also referring to other medical worries I may have...... What about the mental aspect???

Sadly the medical offerings towards mental health have little to no benefit long term. They actually numb people down so they cannot access their feelings, educate people incorrectly to make them believe feelings and sensations are dangerous and refuse to look at the underlying issues that created the mental state of being in the first place.....such as bacteria or the gut or metal poisoning as a few examples

Yes Kay, you are right. What we have been indoctrinated to call the medical system is actually the sick system; owned and pushed by the business of keeping people sick so it can make money our of selling them pills that keep them sick from side affects or the medication or parallel diseases that spring up
