YOUR BODY WORKS

BODYWORKS ~ Self Healing Journey 

Your path to finding YOU again. 

NICKY ARTHUR WELLNESS COACH

My name is  Nicky Arthur. I've been running detox  retreats and healing programmes around Australia, New Zealand and taking clients to the Island of God’s  Bali, Indonesia for the last seven years.

I’ve been facilitating detox programs and now fasting for 10 years years, working with people in one-on-one coaching and consultations, assisting Weightloss programs and yoga, mediation and fitness. .

I am passionate about helping others and provide natural holistic offerings that I share in my work today is helping people to facilitate healing at home for others. 

In a nutshell, that's who I am.

I was born into the world to take this path, I had to learn how to heal my own body, over come stress my own anxiety, and get through a challenging divorce  so I can build a foundation in self healing, happiness, and wellness  and incorporate these principles of health steps into my own life. 

There isn’t a heartache I haven’t felt. I hear you, and I see you. . 

The holistic yoga lifestyle is not about being rigid or strict, or controlled, it’s about owning to self love and letting go of imperfection or perfectionism, being hard on yourself, even self criticism. It is about how you can align yourself to the tnender side, yin energy and let go of the ego,  with using nature and plant based yoga nutrition, meditation, which has helped me stay inspired throughout my own journey. 

Nature heals yet in today’s world, we seem to be moving further and further away from what nature intended us to feel, joy, energy, vitality in a pain-Free body. 

I am a mother, I have been a full  time devoted mum, wife stay at home mum and I have been a business owner busy mum juggling it all. I am divorced and I know what it feels like to have your world turned literally upside down and living a single life in your forties. I know how it feels to be a few pounds heavier, or out of balance. I know how it feels to date in your forties and the challenges around online dating. 

I learnt fast what  helped me remain balanced and healthy through such turmoil time of our lives,  and how to continue to find “the way” to a vital body and happy failfilled self, the practice of yoga meditation and raw and vegan nutrition. 

I'm a teacher. I still love to be. student I. Ashtanga and Tantra Yoga. . I love to inspire people, but I still continue just like you to seek my own truth of the self. 

I work with people and inspire them how to find their own truth and to heal themselves, by honouring the physical body and listening to the mind soul connection to becoming a better version of yourself. 

It’s important for people to know that they can find their way through being a parent and  heal themselves, but there's very specific methods we can use to remove stagnant energy and start the detoxification process the body and genuinely heal ourselves. 

You can join my winter program now to rediscover your fabulous self and Heal your body to freedom. 

We often get caught up, not to realised years have gone by and stuck in a cycle of habit. 

Become the best version of yourself may take a lifetime, but the lifetime you life will be worth every aha moment to finding thy self and self healing.,

Love and light Nocky 

My main passion in life is learning, especially when it's something that I'm passionate about, like ancient yoga philosophy and the holistic therapies for healing. Yoga means union, to bring mind body soul back together as one energy, with health and vitality, we use various different techniques in mind body soul to help that purification process to bring your body back into harmony and alignment. That might mean a physical exercise, it may mean meditation for the mind, or healing nutrition for healing or energy. 

The reason I like ancient practice  is because they were the original physicians and healers. We learn from their lineage. 

I just love learning about things I'm passionate about, and sharing that information with other people after I've tried it. I love it.

Happy Easter ~ get my raw chocolate treat recipe

Happy Easter 🙏🏻🐰

Sending you and your family good health, love peace and happiness. 

"When you find inner peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others." ~ Nicky x

Easter time can be a time to restore, be with family and friends, it can be a great time of the year to stop reflect in how your year is tracking and give thanks to life, and all you have to be grateful for. 

Easter time can provide you with some stillness, prayer time, and even timeout to revisit this years goals dreams and aspirations. 

Easter time in many families holds tradition, holidays, getaways, and togetherness. 

For over 50 years my family have been going to Central Otago, Alexandra and for the very first time this year, it has changed. In the past my Dad, Brother, Uncles cousins and extended male family go on a fishing trip. They stay in their fishing hut, that they made over the years their Man Cave. 

They hold a fishing competition,  sit around the billie, cooking their fish and food packed by their wives, telling stories from the past and jokes that us women don't need to hear. 

They usually return on Easter Sunday, with their fish and my dear late Aunty Marlene would line the fish up and take photos. We would all then come together for a Easter Sunday roast and family togetherness, and laughter. 

It was like this for many many years. It is sad my Aunty and uncle and my cousin who all passed away to cancer are no longer with us. I have also been living away from home and Easter time has taken on a different tradition. My cousins and brother are continuing on the Fishing Trip to keep the family tradition alive. But the dynamics has changed significantly, that's life forever changing and evolving. 

My girls are growing up and the Easter Hunt and bringing out their easter bunny baskets since they were babies is hanging in there but very soon, things will change and Easter Hunts won't be so cool, but the baskets will always be bought out and filled maybe with some fresh figs and grapes with my healthy raw vegan chocolate ready for those who visit. 

 

Most families have a family tradition at Easter and it's a time I treat like Xmas, as an Entrepreneur I take time out to look at my goals, my plans and track how the year as a quarter has looked and resulted. It's a brain storming weekend that I have done for many years. To stop when the world is stoping and resting. 

Easter doesn't have to be always about chocolate, set up some time to spend around nature, goal planning, business development time, or maybe cooking some healthy teas vegan amazing yummy treats. 

 

 Cacao powder is full of nutrients. It looks like cocoa but retains all its natural

goodness making it a good substitute to eat when you crave chocolate. Serves 4

1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) coconut oil
1 cup (8 oz/225 g) Raw cacao powder
1⁄2 cup (21⁄2 oz/75 g) goji berries, plus extra to decorate 1⁄2 cup (21⁄2 oz/75 g) cranberries, plus extra to decorate 1⁄2 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt

Melt the coconut oil in a pan over gentle heat until liquid. Add the cacao powder and salt and stir through. Add the goji berries and cranberries. Pour into a 61⁄2 x 4 in (17 x 11 cm) container lined with baking paper. Add more berries pushing them into the top for decoration.

 

Easter Buns 

For the Buns
1⁄2 cup flax meal (ground linseeds)
1 cup  almond flour (I use dehydrated almond pulp left over from making almond milk)
1⁄2 cup pecans, finely chopped
1⁄2 cup spelt flakes
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 dates, soaked in 1⁄2 cup  filtered water for 10 minutes
1 tablespoon chia mixed with 1/3 cup filtered water
11⁄2 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup  filtered water

For the Filling
1/3 cup almonds, soaked in filtered water for 3 hours
1⁄2 cup  cashew nuts, soaked in filtered water for 3 hours 1 cup young coconut (the white part)
2 fresh dates blended with 3 tablespoons filtered water
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup raisins

For the Icing
1⁄2 cup cashew butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup (not Raw) 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon powder 3 teaspoons filtered water

To make the buns, combine the flax meal, almond flour, finely chopped pecans, spelt flakes and cinnamon in a large bowl.

In another bowl, combine the date paste, olive oil and water. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Spread in a rectangle on baking paper or a sheet of Teflex to less than 1⁄2 in (1.25 cm) thick. Dehydrate at 145°C/290°F for 30 minutes. Peel off the paper and dehydrate at 115°C/240°F for another 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Tip the drained soaked almonds and cashews into the bowl of a food processor or blender and process with the coconut, dates and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the raisins.

To make the icing, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Place a bun on a serving plate. Spread with filling and roll up carefully like a bun shape, or spread on top and add icing. Serve with thawed frozen boysenberries. 

Nicky's Skin Smoothing Smoothie: Radiant Glowing Skin

• 1 tbspn Organic Cacao Powder 
• ¼ avocado
• 1 small cucumber
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 inch of raw turmeric (if you can't get it, use 1 tbsp organic turmeric spice)
• 1 cup  of spinach
• 1/2 tsp peppercorns 

Why is this smoothie great for CLEAR, RADIANT SKIN?

1. Spinach. This leafy green is loaded with lutein, the more & greens the clearer your eyes. which will keep your eyes sparkling and your skin radiant. Spinach  is also a good source of omega-3s, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins B, C, and E. 
2. Turmeric. Anti inflammatory, 

It has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb.

Recently, science has started to back up what the Indians have known for a long time,  containing compounds with medicinal properties 

Unfortunately, curcumin ( turmeric) is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. It helps to consume black pepper with it, that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2000% that is why you will see peppercorns in my recipes with Turmeric. 

1. Avocado is loaded with skin-healthy monounsaturated fats, enabling your body to efficiently absorb fat-soluble nutrients for skin health.
2. Rich in vitamin C, lemon will help your body purge excess water weight and balance the sodium and potassium levels in your cells -say goodbye to face bloating, fluid retention. 
3. cucumbers contain hydrating, nourishing and astringent properties that are very good for skin and digestion. Blend up a cucumber in your green smoothie to fight inflammation when a breakout is coming on!

Breakouts usually come from 3 simple things 

1. Nutrition 

2. Hormonal imbalance 

3 . Stress ( this is a big one, so make sure you relax and practice time out to keep skin and digestion under check!)
