What Every Body Needs When Recovering from Illness
When you’re recovering—physically, emotionally, or energetically—your body isn’t just trying to “bounce back.” It’s rebuilding. Resetting. Rebalancing.
And it needs more than just time.
Here’s what every healing body truly needs:
1. Deep, Restful Sleep
Sleep isn’t optional during recovery—it’s medicine.
This is when your body repairs tissues, recalibrates hormones, and supports immune function.
2. Nourishment, Not Just Nutrition
Forget perfect eating—focus on whole foods that feel grounding, soothing, and healing.
3. Nervous System Calm
Your healing accelerates when your body feels safe. Create moments of stillness. Let yourself exhale.
4. Hydration with Purpose
Your cells need fluid to detox, repair, and function.
5. Emotional Support
Healing isn’t just physical. Illness can stir up grief, fear, and identity shifts.
You deserve to feel heard, held, and supported.
6. Patience + Grace
Recovery isn’t linear. Some days are light, some are heavy. Honour your body’s timeline, not society’s.
You’re not “behind.”
You’re healing. And that is sacred work.
If you’re craving support on your recovery journey, you’re not alone. I help rebuild energy, nourishment, and trust in your body—one gentle step at a time.
