Welcome to My World – Elize’s Story
Hi there, I am Elize the founder of Connecting Essentials.
I am a mother of three adult children and a gorgeous grandson. I have developed a couple of auto immune disorders along the way and this journey has shaped my understanding of wellness and how we are so inter connected – body, mind and soul. I found that I needed to take better care of myself in order to take care of those I love in my life.
I am a professional hairdresser, an aromatherapist and reflexologist and a few years ago I completed a diploma in Counselling as well. I have completed a certification course in dealing with Eating Disorders as well as Somatic Therapy.
I also have been a facilitator for almost a decade for the Celebrate Recovery program that we run at my local church in Erina, on the beautiful Central Coast of NSW, Australia.
The Heart of Connecting Essentials
Connecting Essentials aligns with my personal philosophy on body-mind-soul wellness which I believe is essential for optimal health and wellness. As a hairstylist I know firsthand how our appearance can be such a big part of our identity but I also have seen and heard how the stress, the worries of life can take its toll on bodies not only physical but emotional which in turn has an effect on us physically. As we get older and transition into new seasons of life, we sometimes can loose our identity or take som time to find our new identity or our God given purpose in life.
What We Offer – Your Wellness Journey
The content on this website is for educational purposes only and should not replace meeting with a medical practitioner or a professional clinician.
My goal is to equip you with knowledge on how to use essential oils to help with self care. When we are caring for ourselves first it is so much easier to take care of others. Now, I am not a medical practitioner and therefor any advice or information about how to use essential oils will be in a supportive way and complimentary way only.
Connecting Essentials covers a range of topics from essential oils, hair care, mental health, additive and unhelpful habits and faith.
Diving Deeper: Inspiration and Self Care
Welcome to my website and I Invite you to engage with ConnectingEssentials.com for in-depth wellness advice and I hope you enjoy exploring the intersection of practical self care routines and profound emotional wellness as you learn to listen to your own body and love yourself. The greatest commandment according to Jesus was to love God and love your neighbor, as you love yourself. Loving others start with loving you.
Take care of you, so that you can take care of those you love
