Healthy Skin Secrets… Naturally by Helen Bairstow

1:41 PM by Book Author Leave a Comment

This is information the cosmetic industry does NOT want you to know! How to have clear, beautiful, younger looking skin by eating the right foods, using essential oils and making organic skin care products. Discover secrets from inside the beauty industry. You see … Helen Bairstow was a beauty and skin specialist for over 20 years!

All instructions are low cost and even no cost. You get alternative advice with simple, clear-cut and practical techniques … that work. Such as:

• 15 easy recipes using skin friendly foods;
• Step-by-step instructions on how to use aromatherapy safely;
• “A to Z of Essential Oils for Skin Problems Chart” for 75 skin conditions;
• The best 14 essential oils for skin;
• Make your own natural skin care like skin masks and scrubs;

At just 19 I opened my own beauty therapy business. You see … way back in 1983 I became a skin and beauty therapist. Eventually owning three beauty businesses which gave me access to insider information … but I didn’t like what I saw.

I started to question the manufacturers about the ingredients in the products I was recommending and selling. In the late eighties I discovered aromatherapy (when people didn’t even know what the word meant!). While studying to become a clinical aromatherapist in London I began to see how natural ingredients were more effective AND less damaging to the skin. Using my skin as a laboratory I investigated how nutrition and natural therapies can make a positive difference to the health of your skin. As a result I became VERY disillusioned with the beauty industry. I could not live a lie any longer and in 1997 we sold-up and left the beauty industry behind. In 2001 I started a marketing company called Great Look Email Marketing and also began sharing my ‘skin secrets’ with my friends who wanted their skin to look like mine. So a book was written about what I had learned about the beauty industry rip-offs. My book “If You Want Great Skin, Throw Away Your Cosmetics” was published in 2004 but seems people were not yet ready to hear this information. They just loved their fancy jars of stuff too much – seriously. So I went on with life…

My husband (and childhood sweetheart) ‘thought’ we could not have children but at the age of 40 I gave birth to a beautiful boy. Being a parent has you see how trivial some things are, things that we ‘thought’ were important really aren’t at all. Being ‘older’ parents we thought we’d do some travelling while still young which had us travelleing for two and half years around Australia. Want to get closer to your family? Try living in a caravan!

You know those moments in time that change your life? We had a MAJOR one in November 2010 when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. Luckily I was extremely healthy BEFORE I began the chemotherapy which made it easier for me to heal, possibly the reason I survived – I only had a 10% chance! (I’ll write a book about ‘that’ journey one day.)

In the meantime … here I am, living in georgeous Cairns Australia, writing books about how to look after yourself naturally. It’s my way of giving back.

Integrating Psychodrama and Systemic Constellation Work: New Directions for Action Methods, Mind-body Therapies and Energy Healing by Karen Carnabucci and Ronald Anderson

12:59 AM by Book Author Leave a Comment

Systemic Constellation Work is a rapidly growing experiential healing process that is being embraced by a variety of helping professionals, both traditional and alternative, worldwide. This book explores the history, principles and methodology of this approach, and offers a detailed comparison with psychodrama – the original mind-body therapy – explaining how each method can enhance the other.

Constellation work is based on the notion that people are connected by unseen energetic forces and suggests that the psychological, traumatic and survival experiences of our ancestors are genetically passed forward to the next generation and may live within us. Using insightful case studies from a variety of client groups, this book shows how Systemic Constellation Work can expand the possibilities of psychodrama techniques, and can be successfully integrated with psychodramatic enactment, guided imagery, ritual, concretization and other methods of healing and personal growth.

This book will be essential reading for students and practitioners of psychodrama and Constellation work, as well as counselors, mental health professionals, experiential therapists, creative and expressive arts therapists and alternative practitioners looking to widen their knowledge of mind-body therapies.

The Rules of “Normal” Eating–A Commonsense Approach for Dieters, Overeaters, Undereaters, Emotional Eaters, and Everyone in Between! by Karen R. Koenig, LCSW

12:55 AM by Book Author Leave a Comment

THE RULES OF “NORMAL” EATING focuses on beliefs, behavior and feelings that relate to food, body image and weight. It teachers troubled eaters to stop dieting and bingeing and use body signals for appetite to guide food choice and intake. The rules are: 1) Eat when you’re hungry, 2) Choose foods that satisfy you, 3) Eat with awareness and enjoyment, and 4) Stop eating when you’re full or satisfied. The book covers how our beliefs generate our feelings and behavior, how to identify irrational beliefs and make them rational, how core beliefs influence us, and how to create a belief system that is rational and healthy. It is written with lots of humor and is highly user friendly.

Author Bio:
I’m a psychotherapist practicing in Sarasota, FL, an eating coach with a worldwide Skype and telephone clientele, a national educator, and have written four books on eating and weight. I’ve been in this field for 35 years. I have been interviewed for TV, radio, podcasts, magazines, and newspaper articles.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I knew a great deal about overeating and undereating from my personal experience and also understood what it took to recover. I melded my personal experience and my professional, clinical learning as a social worker to put together a book that is like on-the-page therapy and is full of the wisdom I’ve gained over the decades.
