New Year’s resolutions that make you thrive

by Jennifer | Panakaya

Let’s face it, 2020 was weird, eccentric, and stretched our mind sometimes a bit too much. With borders closed, our personal life and the way we do business got an involuntary makeover. The challenges of 2020 are likely to stay around. To succeed in your business you absolutely must be at your physical and mental best.

The current situation is a breeding ground for burnout and longterm illness due to chronic stress. After the lockdown, I have seen many entrepreneur patients with very high levels of stress, insomnia, and digestive issues.

You don’t want to be in that camp, and if you do find yourself in it, you want to get out of it asap. Here some thoughts about how you can avoid the frustration of abandoned New Year’s resolutions and how to achieve lasting results.

Entrepreneur Series 1: Worklife Balance

by Jennifer | Panakaya

Contrary to the common perception of having a flexible and easy-going lifestyle, entrepreneurs are often ultra hard-working. There is no paid annual or sick leave, often no weekend, an ever-growing to-do list, one important task comes after another…

“After this project I will rest” turns into “I will rest next week”… and before you know it, 6 months have gone by. You sleep less, you eat less healthy, you are tired and close to a burnout. The pressure is still the same, but you feel less energetic. Read more “Entrepreneur Series 1: Worklife Balance” →

The Silent Pain of Pregnancy Loss

by Jennifer | Panakaya

Pregnancy loss until today remains largely a taboo. We swipe this unpleasant part in our life under the rug, hoping that the woman’s body and mind will recover on their own… which often doesn’t happen. She might develop “unexplainable” pain, depression or struggle with fertility even years later. Here some suggestions about what you can do if you miscarried yourself and you still need closure about this important life event, as well as ideas on how you can support a loved one who is currently going through it.

How to make Kombucha in tropical Singapore

by Jennifer | Panakaya

Gut health is one of the biggest pillars of health, which is why I focus so much on it in my naturopathy practice. Currently, most people are affected by anxiety to at least some degree, and, anxiety, immune system, and gut health often go together. Drinking kombucha on a regular basis can play a big role in developing or maintaining a healthy gut, which is why I suggest it so often to my patients.

How trauma in a woman’s uterus can impact her…

by Jennifer | Panakaya

Unresolved trauma in the uterus can be a major, yet often overlooked aspect in a woman’s life, and may show as physical discomfort or emotional pain. My experience as a naturopath specialized in trauma, women’s and reproductive health, trauma-aware bodyworker, and birth doula (in training) has often shown me that a combination of the following may be present: somatised trauma (meaning emotional trauma that is stored in the physical body) Read more “How trauma in a woman’s uterus can impact her physical and emotional health” →

How essential oils can positively impact our wellbeing

by Jennifer | Panakaya

Essential oils are known to have a positive impact on our emotional and physical wellbeing. In order to benefit from the oils in a safe manner, it is crucial to know how to use them correctly. In my practice, I regularly see damages on the skin as the oils are either applied undiluted on the skin, in the wrong dose (usually not diluted enough) or the wrong oils are applied on an already damaged skin.

Has the confinement left an unhealthy mark on me…

by Jennifer | Panakaya

Everyone deals with extreme stress in a different way. There is no right or wrong. During the “circuit breaker” period I have seen that those people who have a steady job/cashflow or could move in with family members to save costs tend to enjoy the confinement more than the average person. Same goes for business owners or freelancers who managed to fully jump on their online business and took that to the next level. Well done!

A Woman’s Emotional Roots

by Jennifer | Panakaya

Have you ever wondered what made you the person you are today or what influence your family’s story had on your life story? Our view on the world as grown-ups is not just defined by what we experienced as children or young adults, but also what happened before we were even born. It matters what happened to our mothers while they were pregnant with us, how they perceived their pregnancy, and what emotions they felt.
