Welcome!

Hello and welcome to our blog! We are looking forward to sharing lots of great information to help guide you towards a balanced, healthful life.

 

So, what exactly is a balanced, healthful life? Is it eating right and exercising regularly? Or keeping our emotional health in check? What about our nervous system and the part it plays in healing and function? 

 

In fact, all of these areas working together (not in isolation) is the key to living your best and most balanced life. 

 

Let's consider our nervous system comprising of our brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves. It drives our whole body; that is, our major organs, hormones, emotions, muscle function and even how our body processes nutrients. Without it, we are unable to survive. It makes sense to give it the respect and attention it requires for proper functioning. This the cornerstone of Chiropractic care.

 

Then come the elements that support our nervous system; nutrition, movement and emotional health. In the coming weeks and months we are looking forward to bringing you lots of helpful and practical information to show you ways in which you can achieve a better balance in your life, and why this is so important to your overall health.

 

We are thrilled to share our passion with you as we welcome you aboard this great journey of your best health!

Wheat Free Cheese and Olive Bread

1 cup (150g) rice flour with ½ sachet yeast

2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup (160g) pitted black olives, chopped

75g mortadella (lean bacon can be used), chopped

4 eggs, litly beaten

80g butter, melted

Lightly grease an 8cmx26cm bar cake pan. Stir flour into bowl, add cheese, mint, pepper, olives and mortadella. Stir in eggs and butter (I use a mixer but it can be done by hand), mix until well combined. Spread mixture into a pan, bake, in moderately hot oven for 35mins or until lightly brown and cooked through. Turn onto a rack to cool.

Yum Balls

This recipe is a great, healthy alternative to traditional sugar-packed Rum Balls traditionally served at Christmas. Enjoy!


Makes about 20 balls

150g dates

100g almonds

2-4 tablespoons tahini

Desiccated coconut

Roughly combine dates and almonds in a food processor on low setting. Add 2 tablespoons of tahini and combine. Continue to add tahini in one tablespoon increments until mixture does not fall apart when pressed into balls. Form mixture into balls approximately 2 cm in diameter by rolling between palms. Roll in coconut. Chill in fridge for at least 1 hour before serving. NB. Try substituting raisins for dates and pecans for almonds.

About Us

ALISA WILLIAMS - CHIROPRACTOR

I have been in the health industry for almost 9 years. My first degree was Radiography, and although being a radiographer was an interesting job at times, I was always looking for something that made sense, something that inspired me. After personally experiencing Chiropractic care for years, I learnt that adjustments improved the structure of my spine, and that structure determined my level of function.

I soon went on to study Chiropractic so that I could help other people do the things they love in life by helping maintaining adequate function of their spine. It makes me very happy when I see people living a life they love.

I have completed further training in paediatrics, and enjoy seeing people of all ages in the practice.

I love practicing here in Penshurst, I couldn't think of anywhere I'd rather be.

With Love, 

Alisa
