On this week's episode I am happy to be introducing you to our next special guest Yoga Therapist, Founder of Pippa Jackson Yoga and lived experience speaker, Pippa Jackson. Pippa struggled with food, body, her mental health, and self- acceptance from her young teenage years. At the height of her disordered eating was diagnosed with Bulimia Nervosa for the next 14- years. It was here that Pippa battled extremely dark times being trapped in the endless cycle of binging and purging only leaving the house for food. However, It was during this time that Pippa found something she never knew she needed, she found yoga. Not only did Pippa find transformational healing for her mind, body and emotions, but Pippa began educating herself on the philosophy of yoga, started a mediation practice and eventually took her practice on a journey to India! It was here that Pippa went through a deeper healing journey staying in several ashrams, practicing yoga, sharing meals, attending philosophy classes, experiencing sound healing bowls and fire ceremonies. Knowing after these experiences in her heart and soul that she was meant to share the healing tools of yoga for people struggling. Leading her to complete her Yoga Teaching Training and training as a Yoga Therapist.   Pippa is a Certified Yoga & Meditation Teacher who supports adults and children through yoga and Yoga Therapy.

Yoga Therapy provides personalised consultations and a personalised therapeutic program using the principles of yoga to support the client's holistic wellness through the transformational experiences of yoga. Tools that may be used in Yoga Therapy sessions include gentle asana (postures), pranayama (breath awareness and techniques), mudra (gestures), mantra (chanting), visualisations, relaxation, mediation, counselling, and guidance.   On this week's episode Pippa speaks about her journey from struggling with Bulimia Nervosa for 14 years to now trusting her body, her emotions, and cultivating a compassionate relationship with herself. We also discuss the role of Yoga therapy in the support of those with disordered eating or recovering from an eating disorder. So let's get into it!

Basically we sat while the doctor gave us the referral in his room. Then the referral doesn't work because the place he sent us to is for over 12 years old kids Had to go back get a new one for another place Called the new place and they will call me back when they get the fax or I need to follow up next week. So a bit disappointed about the whole experience from the consultation, lack of customer service and no emotional intelligence even though I had to pay $70 for it and then having the wrong place in it.
