Interview with Sally Gray - The IGNITE Quest
Is this you today?
Life is just feeling OFF and you are not sure what to do next?
You are consistently beating yourself up for not being a good enough mum, wife, sister, friend, employee etc.....Just not feeling enough, deserving or worthy?
You are carrying so much baggage from the past, the shackles are so heavy on your back, you just cannot move forward?
Let’s paint a different picture – What if:
You could live a life free of self imposed guilt, shame, embarrassment and anxiety
You could have 100% control of your emotions, thoughts & actions and live the life you desire AND more importantly teach this to your children – PURE GOLD
You could achieve more of what you want in your life, regardless of past challenges
You could walk tall and BE in your authentic self EVERY SINGLE day and speak your truth with confidence
You could face the crap & challenges of life with calm, ease and confidence, let’s face it – this stuff is still going to happen. The DAILY challenges and irritations WILL still be there, but it’s how you experience it.
I have the pleasure of interviewing my mentor, coach, primary health practitioner, friend and loving angel Sally Gray, founder of Real Healthy Kids.
Sally is a self confessed eternal student. She also possesses the most impressive credentials I know of which include:
Naturopath,
Herbalist,
Masters Trained Nutritionist,
Functional Medical specialist,
EFT & NLP Practitioner,
Jack Canfield Success Principles Trainer,
Master Life Coach and
Neuroscience Pracitioner.
So you are in the best hands here today.
Below is a brief summary of the video:
What is the mind, body connection?
Quite often we are getting stuck in the physical doing, however science has proven that emotional well being and the brain is the single biggest predictor of our future and healing potential
As mum’s our emotional set point is shaping our journey and that of our kids. Not an easy message to hear, but a necessary one
Emotional well being is the REAL work that is needed if you are on a healing journey
Doing the emotional well being work can save you years and not mentions thousands if dealing with a chronic health condition
How did you connect the dots that Emotional Well being is the key predictor for our health?
From the personal journey of pain and crippling anxiety. Once the REAL work was done properly, the symptoms disappeared
AN overview of IGNITE:
15 years in the making of trying to find out how to marry Naturopathic practices with emotional well being practices such as life coaching, transpersonal counseling and human potential
The purpose of IGNITE is to adjust your emotional set point and set you free
It bridges the gap of where you currently and where you want to be
Teaches the fundamental life skills
12 week LIVE online program, guided by Sally including additional Facebook Support
Guided step by step frame work of weekly lessons learning how to harness the potential of the human brain
Learn practical tips and tricks of how to put the information into practice
Sally’s overall message:
You are not alone on this journey of motherhood. We are ALL sista’s wanting the very best for ourselves and our family. You are not broken or need fixing, BUT we ALWAYS have a choice. A great life is only available to the courageous who are prepared to do the work
As mum’s we need to take back the reigns and create the life we desire. There is no such thing as perfection and we can walk our path the way we want to feel with confidence, self belief and a deep connection to our authentic self
My personal recommendation to join the IGNITE quest:
This work has really been the missing link on our healing journey. Awesome nutrition, whilst it yielded life changing results, was not enough. We can focus on perfect nutrition and supplements till the cows come home, but the results will always be temporary unless this INNER work is included as well.
I’ve always had an interest in personal development, but I’ve not had anyone teach me the way Sally delivers IGNITE. Not only do I stand up and take 100% responsibility for my life (the good and the bad), the message and concepts are taught to the kids, and man oh man, do they get this so much quicker than us. The journey is never complete and it is the work of life, but so bloody worth it!
The next round of IGNITE commences Thursday 22nd February

4 Steps to Fill Up Your Child's Love Tank
So I am all about the food, but it's not all about the food. Have I confused you on the first sentence??
Let me explain myself. I believe with ALL my being that there is absolutely no substitute for eating a wholefood diet, NOTHING. To me, its job done, non negotiable and so I ask what is next to live a vibrant extraordinary life ?
To be truly healthy as described in this blog, you need the balance of both physical & emotional/mental health, so it’s equally important to be emotionally intelligent and physically healthy. This couldn’t be truer for our children today who are living in such a fast paced technology driven world who are experiencing unacceptable levels of anxiety.
In my humblest opinion, it’s our job as parents to make our children feel loved, secured, confident and empowered and we primarily do this by filling up their love tank in a language they understand. After all, to feel loved is a primary human emotional need.
So let me introduce you to the concept of the 5 Love Languages.
I first became aware of this concept a number years ago when I started to take an interest in personal development. It was ONE of the BEST books I have ever read and believe that EVERY couple should receive a copy of this at pre-marriage counselling. Anyways, that is a topic for another day :-)
So the 5 love languages are different ways that people or children need to be communicated to in order to feel loved. There are 5 of these love languages and you would typically have 2 dominant ones that you need, a primary and secondary.
Let me tell you from personal experience in relationships with my husband, children and immediate family that this is GOLDEN. When you understand what their love language is and you communicate to them in the way that they WANT you to, you form the most beautiful bond and your relationship just goes to another level.
The Five Love Languages
1. Words of Affirmation:
This refers to verbal compliments or words of appreciation. These are best expressed in simple sentences and obviously need to be sincere. Here are some examples:
I love the effort you put into you that project
I love you
I really appreciate you helping me fold the washing
You are so good at colouring in between the lines
I love that you made a good judgment in X situation
I love your smile
2. Quality time:
This is quite self explanatory and literally means to give someone your undivided time and attention for a period of time. This all about being present and even better if you can initiate the time spent together
3. Receiving Gifts:
A gift is something you hold in your hand and say “here I was thinking of you” It doesn’t have to cost anything. Gifts are just visual symbols of love. Examples of insignificant gifts are:
Stickers
Reading books
Colouring in
Their favourite game
A T-shirt with their favourite character
Stationary with their favourite characters
4. Acts of Service:
This is all about having things done for them, not because they are lazy or can’t be bothered doing it themselves, but because they enjoy being looked after. Obviously you know when the mick is being taken :-). Examples are:
Cooking their favourite food
Filling up their water bottle for them when they could have done it themselves
Putting the toothpaste on their toothbrush before they ask
5. Physical Touch:
In the world of psychology, touch is known as a form of expressing emotional love. That may just mean things such as:
Touching them whilst talking to them
Giving them a back rub
Random Hugs
Offer to massage
Putting this into practice, I’ll give you examples of my two munchkins:
Son
He has 2 predominant love languages, that is Quality time and Gifts. This was very evident since he was a toddler. He just always wanted to be belly to belly, eyeball to eyeball He just loves spending time together doing exactly what HE wants. We could spend all day together at an outing or event, but within minutes of being home, if his needs were not satisfied, he would request to play a game such as uno, chess, lego etc. That's him expressing that he has not received enough 1:1 time. Sometimes that need is as little as 10 minutes to fill up the tank, it's all about the quality, not quantity...most of the time :-)
He also LOVES receiving gifts. This was and still is an easy one to use in a reward based system.
If I was to shower him with hugs (physical touch), he would get really annoyed, so I learned very quickly not to take this personally.
Daughter:
Her 2 dominant love languages are Physical Touch and Acts of service. As a baby, toddler and even now, she absolutely loved being held and cuddled. In fact, when she did something wrong, coming to give you a hug was the first thing she wanted to do, it was also her way of saying sorry. She adores being stroked and sitting on the couch having a cuddle watching her favourite show together.
She also really enjoys things being done for her such as, in the morning helping her put her gown or slippers on and will actually get quite upset if I forget. She is fiercely independent but loves to have little things done for her of HER choice.
How to do it?
Step 1 – Observe their spoken words and actions to determine their primary and secondary love language. You could even take a quiz here to help you identify their dominant love language.
Step 2 – Communicate to them in their desired love language, not yours. Be careful of this trap.
Step 3 – Watch them thrive emotionally
Step 4 – Repeat. As our needs and desires as adults change overtime, theirs will too, so it’s all about staying observant, flexible and adaptable.
I hope that gives a little insight into the 5 love language. I cannot encourage you enough to identify your loved ones love language and just watch them soar and thrive emotionally.

What is a Nutrition & Wellness Coach
I used to get these perplexed looking faces when I answered the question “What do you do?” or “What is it you are studying?
I could see on their faces that they had absolutely NO idea what I was talking about, and I get that, I wouldn’t have either until I started searching what I could do with my passion & love of eating wholesome healing foods.
I desperately wanted to shout out from the roof tops what a difference it made to our family’s health and well-being and knew that if other families knew this information, they too could be encouraged to make small progress steps towards a wholefood/healing way of eating and experience abundant health.
That’s when I found the term a health coach or nutrition coach.
So, let’s delve a little deeper into what exactly a health coach is!
According to Wellness Coaches US, coaching is defined as;
“A close relationship & partnership with a coach, providing the structure, accountability, expertise and inspiration, to enable a person to learn, grow and develop beyond what he or she can do on its own”
A health & wellness coach focuses on mental & physical behaviours relating to nutrition, exercise & stress management. In my case, the focus is that of gut health and emotional well-being from a truly wholistic point of view.
It has also been defined that successful coaching takes place when coaches apply clearly defined knowledge and skills so that clients can draw upon internal strengths and external resources to make the necessary sustainable changes needed.
Any change in behaviour starts in the mind! It has been my experience that one of the biggest hurdles to overcome is clients believing in themselves & lacking confidence in their ability to actually make the changes they need to make.
“People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they themselves have discovered than those that have to come to the mind in other”
Pascal Penses
Love this quote because it embodies what a successful coach is. That is, empowering the client so that they can come up with their own solutions rather than it spoon fed to them. It has also been proven that this idea promotes a longer sustainable change as the client will then take responsibility for making the necessary changes.
A nutrition & wellness coach does NOT diagnose or prescribe. This is the role of a qualified health practitioner.
In Summary, a health coach empowers and provides a line of questioning which is designed to help the client discover, dream, design & identify their strengths and potential solutions. The responsibility for initiating change lies with the client.
The coach provides the structure, goal setting & accountability. The aim of coaching is to generate self awareness & empower the client to take responsibility for change.
