About this Event
Facilitators: Brenda Roges & Talena Benedet
A practical workshop exploring why your body holds on to weight, inflammation, fatigue and chronic symptoms - and how breath, movement, touch, food, and herbs can help support your body's natural ability to restore balance.
Why won't my body let go?
It's a question we hear every day.
"Why can't I lose the weight?"
"Why am I so bloated?"
"Why am I always tired?"
"Why does my skin keep flaring up?"
"Why do I feel inflamed all the time?"
"Why doesn't my body bounce back anymore?"
Whether you're in your late 30s, navigating perimenopause, or well into your post-menopausal years, many women reach a point where their body seems to stop responding the way it once did.
Perhaps you're living with:
· persistent fatigue or low energy
· brain fog
· bloating or constipation
· IBS or digestive discomfort
· fluid retention
· stubborn weight gain
· eczema, acne or psoriasis
· allergies or recurring sinus congestion
· headaches or migraines
· PMS, endo or difficult menopause
· joint aches and inflammation
· fatty liver
· recurrent infections
· a sense that your body simply feels "stuck"
You've probably already tried; eating better, You've bought the supplements, You've attempted the detoxes., Yet something still isn't shifting.
At The H Dispensary, we believe the question isn't "How do I detox?"
It's "Why won't my body let go?"
This workshop brings those pieces together.
You'll explore how your body's natural detoxification systems work, how your daily choices influence them, and how gentle practices can support greater vitality, inspiration and joy in your life.
Because lasting wellbeing isn't created through punishment or restriction.
It's created through understanding.
And through simple daily rituals that work for you instead of against you.
This is an interactive workshop where you'll leave with practical knowledge, your own personalised detox ritual, and the confidence to begin immediately.
What You'll Learn
Finding Flow: Detox Beyond the Physical - with Talena Benedet, Kinesiologist
Drawing on kinesiology principles, Talena will explore the connection between emotional wellbeing, the nervous system, and the body's natural ability to regulate itself.
Through simple, practical exercises you'll discover how to:
- recognise where emotional stress may be stored in your body, to understand how it's showing up physically as symptoms you experience
- understand how your nervous system responds to stress and overwhelm
- implement practical tools are designed to reduce your overall load, helping your body return to a state of balance so it can do what it was designed to do; heal, restore, and thrive.
Nourishing Your Body's Natural Detox Pathways - with Brenda Rogers, Naturopath and Nutritionist
Every minute of every day your liver, gut, kidneys, skin, lymphatic system, endocrine system and brain are working to process waste products and maintain balance.
The question isn't whether your body can detox.
The question is whether it's receiving the support it needs.
Drawing on more than 35 years of naturopathic experience, Brenda will explain:
- ·how the liver, gut and lymphatic system work together – and their neuro-emotional connections
- why digestion is fundamental to effective detoxification and what stops it
- the surprising foods that nourish your body's natural processes
- traditional herbs that have been used for millennia to physically and energetically support physical and emotional detoxification
- why gentle, consistent rituals are better than extreme detoxes
Most importantly, you'll learn how to build a detox ritual that is realistic, sustainable and personalised to your life so that you can live your life with vitality, inspiration and connection.
