76. Knowing our Self Worth: Emma Caller on Self Care with Herbs

The Elder Tree Podcast

Today I chat with Emma Caller, a naturopath and nutritionist who can thank her Italian heritage for teaching her how food can nourish us. She loves treating itchy babies and nervous kids as well as any skin condition. Emma has a clinic near Coffs Harbour NSW, where she is never not accompanied by her black and white cat Cookie Custard

Some of Emma’s earliest memories as a child are steeped in plant medicine- instinctively reaching for plants to heal during games of ‘Doctors and Nurses’.

She knew she wanted to be a Naturopath from when she was 5 years old, after having a flower essence prescribed for nightmares and witnessing their magic.

For Emma, plant medicine is also really based on food. Her Sicilian heritage is steeped in food- culinary herbs like oregano, parsley, thyme and garlic regularly making their way into meals.

In her naturopathic practice today where she loves working with families of young children, Emma helps her clients to make nourishing food choices by providing delicious and healthy tips and recipes.

Flower essences also form a big part of Emma’s practice and she talks about how sItting down and having good conversations to help connect people with the right flower essence helps to effect deep change.

We talk about the relationship that we encourage clients to develop with the plants to help encourage lasting change when working with plant medicines.

During our chat, Emma talks about the importance of knowing our own self worth, when it’s often instinctual to prioritise everyone else's well being first.

We chat about the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic self care and the benefits of investing in a balance of the two.

Emma shares a special weekly ritual she enjoys with her family- shopping at her local farmers market, connecting with the food and the growers and using the produce she gathers to create nourishing meals for the week ahead. Her green frittata recipe sounds divine, be sure to listen in so you don’t miss it!
