As August nearly rolls in with its quiet skies and crisp air, there’s a subtle invitation in the season: slow down, simplify, and soften. It’s a rhythm I’ve been leaning into myself, and one I’ve noticed echoing through the experiences of many women I support in clinic.

This past month, a phrase has gently woven itself into my thoughts: attract health, rather than chase it.

So often, especially as women, we’re conditioned to do more in the pursuit of wellness, stacking supplements, downloading programs, chasing perfect routines. The pressure to fix or optimise can become another stressor in disguise.

But what if healing doesn’t respond to force?

What I’m seeing in both my own body and in clinic is this: when we stop grasping and start listening, healing begins to unfold naturally. There’s a soft power in pausing, in choosing nourishment over hustle, in allowing rather than forcing.

Women’s health is deeply cyclical. Our hormones, energy, and emotions shift with the moon, with the seasons, and with life itself. When we ignore this rhythm, we often feel disconnected, exhausted, or off balance. But when we align with it, everything begins to make more sense, our skin clears, our cycle steadies, our nervous system calms.

I’ve seen this firsthand in clients who’ve let go of urgency. Who’ve stopped striving to "fix" themselves and instead learned to trust their body’s pace. That trust? It’s where the magic happens. Cycles regulate. Skin begins to heal. Sleep deepens. Anxiety softens.

For me, attracting health right now looks like:

• Honouring slow, quiet mornings.

• Eating warm, grounding meals.

• Embracing stillness and nature over screens and scrolls.

• Letting go of overcomplication in routines.

• Listening to my body, even when it asks for rest when the world says go.

This season offers us all a beautiful opportunity to turn inward and reconnect with the quiet wisdom of our bodies. If you’ve felt like you’ve been chasing answers or pushing for change, I gently invite you to pause.

What would it look like to attract health instead? To soften, to listen, to trust?

You are not broken. You are not behind. You’re simply being called to reconnect with yourself, your cycle, and the pace that feels most like home.

With warmth,
Tegan
