As a Naturopathic Physician I am keenly aware that there is a long line of Doctors that came before me. These wise traditional healers are where our medicine originates from. I wanted to honour and respect them with the name of our Clinic as it is with the passing on of their knowledge and wisdom that we have the awareness to support healing with the medicinal properties of Nature and the awareness of an individuals own healing vitality.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The word Aumakua comes from Hawaiian mythology and means “The Spirit of an Ancestral Guardian.” The Aumakua are known to be advisors and healers that protect the Ohana or family.

“Burnout for me was ending up in the ER with a blinding migraine that caused me to lose my vision. All I could see was white and after 20 minutes of this experience I actually became ok with the thought of permanently being blind because it meant that I would no longer have to work at my corporate job. I figured I could fulfill my passion whilst being blind. I went to bed and woke up with my sight back and decided it was time to make a shift. My husband recognized how sick I was and told me to leave my job that day. He simply said: Leave. Who cares about the money.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For the months of growing life, the labour, delivery and postpartum days. For the endless nights that turn into day and then night again. For the thousands of deep breaths and goddess-like composure maintained amidst the chaos and frustration. For raising the generation to come.... there simply could never be enough ‘thank you’s’ 🙏🏼

Wishing a beautiful Mother’s Day to our community of Mothers, and feeling grateful to be raising children amongst such a strong women!

As mothers we have an responsibility to recognize

As mothers we have an responsibility to recognize when we are in an unhealthy space, trying to fit the mould of today's expectations on us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The expectation to be a strong resilient-humble-queen of multitasking-can-do-it-flawlessly-without complaints.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s not just you stuck in this cycle of modern day exhaustion. It’s your peers too. It’s my sisters. It’s your doctor. It’s my aunt. It’s your boss. And my colleagues. Let's not make it our daughters too.

We're sure you've noticed the price difference bet

We're sure you've noticed the price difference between factory-farmed meat and grass-fed 🐄 But you might find yourself questioning if it is really worth the extra money? 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Short answer: YES!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grass-fed meat is so nutritionally superior to factory-farmed meat that it is practically a different food. And this doesn't even take into account that it is better for both the animal and the environment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grass-fed meat has much better types of fat than grain-fed (higher Omega-3's, fewer Omega-6's and more CLA) and also has higher levels of critical nutrients like B vitamins, vitamin E and many antioxidants and minerals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So next time you're choosing your groceries and see that there is a lesser cost option on a grain-fed meat, you can recall that the grass-fed meat is more expensive because it took so much longer to reach market weight because it wasn't fed cheap grains, corn or candy (yes, candy!!). Grass-fed is the best meat option for you, for the animal and the environment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
