    OUR LOCKDOWN STORY

    OUR LOCKDOWN STORY

    Wow what a trip. 

     

    I haven’t yet connected with a single person that this ‘big pause’ is not having an effect on.

     

    Not. One. Person.

     

    As for myself... two Wednesdays ago, my husband (who is also self employed) had the worst day of his adult life as every one of his clients froze all business. 

     

    Then moments later, I was urged to stop producing and ordering anything new for the deli and to try rid of any current stock immediately.

     

    While I was in a bit of a state to think straight, my level headed husband suggested we take the kids to NZ ‘because who knows what will happen - London could go into lockdown and we’ll be stuck in a small flat for months’. (Literally his words while everyone else (including Boris Johnson) were saying no way is a lockdown something being considered).

     

    So on Wednesday lunchtime, we checked out flight prices which were at their all time low. Whoop whoop something positive!

     

    By Wednesday night, they were 4, 5 and even 6 times higher. 

     

    And even then, we couldn’t seem to book anything!

     

    We attempted to book with 4 different airlines, 2 of which took our money and all 4 of which said our booking is not confirmed. 

     

    We spent many hours trying to reach customer services, playing the ‘you’re on hold’ tunes from both of our phones while we packed.

     

    We were at Heathrow first thing Thursday morning. 

     

    We didn’t land in Auckland until Monday.

     

    Four whole days!!!!

     

    The entire experience was truly the most surreal thing either of us have ever partaken in...

     

    Terminal 4 packed like sardines in a can, queues to Nam, rows of white space suits everywhere, masks of every variety on faces, cash not accepted within the premises even for a coffee / especially for a coffee, flight after flight cancelled on the departures board, but the craziest and oddest of all is the deadly silence surrounding us.

     

    There’s no arguing, no pleading, no bargaining, no abusing, no questioning, no rushing.

     

    It just was. 

     

    For four long long days.

     

    dodging lockdown

     

    Team NZ (aka Elliot’s amazing family) made miracles happen and took the stress out of every step past the boarder security to support our mandatory 2 weeks of self-isolation. 

     

    There was a spare car waiting for us, keys in ignition, instructions about our self-isolation house printed, kids car seats installed, snacks for the road, cold-pressed juices and dinner for first night packed, plus not to mention a mountain of groceries already waiting when we arrived.

     

    Needless to say, I was pretty emotional throughout, but you should’ve seen me when I discovered buckwheat, kombucha and coconut flour while putting the groceries away! 😭

     

    Then 2 days later the whole of NZ reached emergency level 4 and ended up in lockdown for a month minimum.

     

    Looks like we’re stranded on the beach for even longer than expected. It’s a tough life for these kids of ours :))

     

    Pauanui sunset

     

    Jokes aside, the ‘tough life’ bit is very much a reality for many right now...

     

    A few of you have already written to me asking whether I could discount the eBooks any further so you could make nourishing meals for your family during lockdown, so I’ve been thinking hard about how best to do this and I reckon I got it!!

     

    Pay what you can.

     

    £15 ($18.50)      £27 ($33)       £39 ($48)




     

    And if you can’t afford anything at all right now, but would love to make delicious nurturing meals for your family to keep them well, I have 2 options for you too:

     

    1. Download my FREE eBook ‘Nurtured - 10 Most Popular’, which is a little pdf full of your favourite recipes from the entire #NurturedBooks series, that’s available to all!
    2. If you love the pdf from above and keen for the rest of my ebooks but still can’t afford £15-£39, just write to me BEFORE 1ST MAY at hello@tanyasliving.com and I’ll make sure I forward you all 5 eBooks. 

     

    I know how devastating these times are for so many, so you don’t even need to explain yourself in the email, just write to me and I’ll be honoured to play a small part in keeping your family nourished.

     

    Be safe and keep well.

     

    I love you and yes ‘We will meet again’!

    Tanya Maher & David Wolfe talk detox, healing, gut health, poop & longevity

    Tanya Maher & David Wolfe talk detox, healing, gut health, poop & longevity

    Last time David Wolfe was in town, I had the honour of catering his epic event and then sitting down with him the following day to chat everything from poop to longevity. 

    Not even kidding... our interview began with poo talk.

    I just couldn’t help myself, could I 🤪

    Well, that chat took place almost 3 whole years ago and this longevity megastar is soon to return to London for one day only (Saturday 30th May 2020) so I figured it’s time you have a listen...

    For most of you reading this blog post, David Wolfe needs no introduction.

    Some of you only know him as the health guru who’s got 12 million Facebook fans.

    Some of you know him as the go-to superfood expert for celebs like Woody Harrelson or Tony Robbins.

    Or maybe even the nutrition master that got Novak Djokovic back to no.1.

    The rest of you may be hearing of him for the first time right now.

    Perhaps even hearing of me for the first time!

    (For you guys, I include both of our bios, below 🤓)

    Whatever category you fit into, you’d enjoy watching our chat and you would be stoked to hear that by using the promo code TANYAPLUS, you could get £10 off your ticket to David Wolfe's upcoming event in London!

    (I’ll be there with my salads and treats again, so definitely stop by for a cuddle!)

    MY WELLNESS UPDATE + NUTRITION SCHOOL PRICE INCREASE

    MY WELLNESS UPDATE + NUTRITION SCHOOL PRICE INCREASE

    Thank you guys so much for all the support and words of encouragement after I posted my original update all about my wellness journey post birth. 

     

    You might remember that I began this journey almost 6 months ago now, 1 week before my 35th birthday, 7 months after baby #2 and 223 days of sleep deprivation and adrenal fatigue later, when I felt at my very worst.

     

    What I didn’t mention is that when my birthday rolled around, I was struck with the most simple yet profound message that would stay with me every single day since...

     

    I was inside the LMS hyperbaric oxygen chamber, breathing in 95% pure oxygen (there’s only 21% oxygen in the air we’re breathing now!) to help all the goodness in my IV drip absorb effectively into all of my cells, when I noticed a book.

     

    Tanya Maher Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber LMS 

     

    This book was called ‘ikigai’ (loosely translated as ‘your reason to jump out of bed every morning’.)

     

    I flicked to the summary points of ‘the Japanese secret to a long and happy life’ and there it was... the message that affected me to the very core... the words which have played over in my mind every day for the past 6 months:

     

    “Get in shape for your next birthday”.

     

    ikigai 

     

    It wasn’t that I needed to see this message to eat better or go to the gym.

     

    It wasn’t that I needed extra motivation.

     

    It wasn’t that I read it on my birthday and liked the coincidental surprise.

     

    It was that for the first time ever, I understood that lasting change needs time;

     

    ...that Metamorphosis doesn’t happen overnight. It doesn’t even happen in a month. 

     

    ...that sculpting a body is a process. A gentle, steady, loving, careful process.

     

    I understood that if I want something enough, I must commit not 2 or 4 or 8 weeks to something on an intensive basis, I must commit a year and take small DAILY steps.

     

    It may seem basic to you, but for someone that [before babies and never since] only needed to go for a run in order to immediately produce calf muscles or skip only one meal to be rewarded with a flat stomach, this message was a revelation!

     

    tanya maher santa barbara

     

    “Get in shape for your next birthday”.

     

    The message consumed me.

     

    My patience grew roots. 

     

    My appreciation for the human body amplified.

     

    I felt inspired like never before.

     

    It felt as if I was solving a puzzle for 35 years and it was finally in front of me - whole, completed, solved, accomplished. 

     

    I finally got it!

     

    tanya maher iv drip LMS 

     

    “Get in shape for your next birthday”.

     

    It is the exact message which comes to mind now each time I look in the mirror, about to drown in the disappointment of my results. 

     

    I am reminded that these things take time. 

     

    I remember to be kinder to myself. 

     

    I feel motivated to carry on.

     

    I fill with gratitude and appreciation for my health, energy, determination, patience, gift of time and privilege to be (and to feel) alive!

     

    I continue to make healthy choices (something no one regrets ever!) and I actually enjoy myself in the process.

     

    I enjoy the cold/hot/cold showers.

     

    I enjoy the hourly alarms I set up for myself, like the 12:22pm ‘my posture is amazing’ reminder or the 3:33pm alarm called ‘the universe rewards my actions’.

     

    I enjoy the workouts in my living room and feel an energy rush when I break a sweat! I wish I could find more time than just twice weekly, but still feel grateful that because I only do them twice weekly, I am skipping with excitement to get cracking when the wait is over!

     

    celery juice challenge 

     

    I enjoy my daily 500ml pint glass of pure celery juice. Actually, I’m addicted now! And the benefits from the first time I did my 21 days of it in December were so obvious to everyone, now Elliot joined me on round 2! More on my experience with it in another newsletter, but if you already know that you want to join me on my round 3 starting end of March, then register your interest here:   mailchi.mp/tanyasliving/celeryjuice

     

    I enjoy being woken up early by my babies and getting started with my day without a snooze button.

     

    But best (and weirdest) of all however is that I enjoy cleaning now. 

     

    All sorts of cleaning! Deep cleaning, decluttering, sorting, folding, ironing, floor scrubbing, dish washing, dusting, wiping, polishing, vacuuming, soaking, you name it - I relish in it, even washing out the rubbish bin is a joy! 

     

    And you know why?....

     

    When the whole “Get in shape for your next birthday” invaded my consciousness, I immediately became disinterested in anything to do with the couch and looked for ways to move my body any chance I got.

     

    I wanted this exercise to be good for my body, as well as my home and my brain, so I (once again) enrolled myself into IIN, the online nutrition school, downloaded lectures and started listening to them while I cleaned. 

     

    Holy. Wow. 

     

    Everything is so much more interesting the second time around! 

     

    tanya maher biarritz

     

    Maybe it’s because the wellness information has really evolved since I took the course 7 years ago.

     

    Maybe the doctors and gurus delivering this info are even more awe-inspiring now. 

     

    Maybe my own mindset has shifted, because now I’m not merely listening to lectures for a certificate, I’m absorbing them for my and my family’s wellbeing and longevity.

     

    I’m surrendering to the universe and accepting (with gratitude) my divine right to feel fricken amazing!

     

    When wellness information travels through my ears, it absorbs into my brain tissues, my nerves, organs, every cell of my body and out to my aura.

     

    I transform into a beacon of wellness and I literally feel everything within me (including my choices, cravings, energy levels and even stubborn fat cells) shifting in order to get me to my “Get in shape for your next birthday” intention.

     

    The power of the wellness information within the IIN curriculum goes far beyond helping you become an incredible health coach. 

     

    It literally changes you forever.

     

    And honestly, I often avoid sending emails or publishing blog posts, in fear of coming across as too ‘salesy’, so I just keep quiet. 

     

    BUT I genuinely believe that this course is magical, powerful and addictively interesting... and now that the price of tuition is going up from 1st March, I know I’d regret not giving you the heads up!

     

    So even if a portion of you was once interested in studying wellness for a year (only 5 hours per week!), perhaps this is your sign to go for it?

     

    tanya mahr ice skating

     

    Here’s what my friends at IIN say:

     

    “On March 1, 2020, our tuition will increase from $5,995 to $6,795 for the Health Coach Training Program. While most schools regularly increase their tuition as they update their curriculum, we have not increased tuition in years. Since 2013, we have honored our commitment to keeping tuition costs down to allow as many people as possible to receive our life-changing education.”

     

    So in order to avoid this US $800 price increase AND still receive $1,500 off the current/old price, call one of these numbers to enrol before Sunday 1st March!

     

    (877) 733-1628 from US

    +1 (212) 730-5433 from outside of US

     

    Remember to mention my name (Tanya Maher) so you get all saving.

    You don't need to quit your job or change your whole life to do the course. Your life will change on its own and in the most magical ways and all you'll be doing is listening to eye-popping lectures a couple of hours per week.
