We’re so excited to bring you our latest issue for your reading pleasure – it’s our Body Love issue!

Many women today have a conflicted relationship with their own body due to the pressure of media, society and cultural expectations of what clothes they should wear, how makeup they should choose, what level of body hair is acceptable and what is the current standard for beauty and sexiness. It’s as if women today have no control over their own bodies.

This conflict results in depression, unhappiness and unhealthy life choices as they try to force their body to conform to the latest trend, whether their body’s disposition, their genetics and what is the healthiest outcome for them as individuals dictate something completely different.

It is utter madness and yet this trend has continued throughout history and doesn’t look like letting up any time soon.

We bring you a host of perspectives on reclaiming your relationship with your body in whatever size, shape, colour or form it is.

Firstly writer and coach Lisa Zawistowski shows where loving your body and yourself begins, while health and wellness expert Casey-Lee Lyons challenges current ideas on what is the ‘perfect’ body.

We then bring you mindset expert Pina Cerminara's tips to create a healthier and happier you followed by Kim Forrester, professional intuitive writer and teacher, who shows us how our intuition can be a reliable guide to making better choices for our body.

Next, GP and Lishi Health Arts practitioner Dr Wan-Ley Yeung provides practical guidance on getting the best from our food according to ancient Daoist practices and Jurie Rossouw, author and founder of the Think Lean Method shows how to improve the body’s resilience for a richer life experience.

Geraldine Pierre, crafter of natural skincare shows us how we’re not all that different from your average supermodel, and vibrant teacher and healer Cath Andrews provides simple steps to achieving lasting harmony with your body.

And finally herbal healer Liz Stringer tells the surprising history of hysteria and it’s connection to the libido.
