Hi, I'm Linda: I suffer from chronic migraine - but holistic strategies are helping, so I blog about what works (and what doesn't) so I can help you heal too. Bring your migraine-brain, and head on over to the blog where healing happens - naturally.

In my continuing summary of some of the Migraine World Summit presentations (back in early 2024), today’s blog post is about the presentation by neuro-ophthalmologist Debo… Read More
Why You Might Not Be Healing
As a person who was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition over two years ago, there is NOTHING that holds a greater priority in my head and heart than healing.  I REALLY want t… Read More
Is My Pillow Causing My Migraine?
When I first started to pull myself out of my chronic pain downward spiral, I listened to a podcast that had a title similar to the one I just wrote, something like: “is m… Read More
A Gothic Migraine
15 years ago, when I first started thinking about going back to university to do my PhD, I considered studying Gothic Literature and its relationship with Gothic Architecture (both the origi… Read More
Mindful Eating (and Pill-popping)
There are several exercises in mindfulness where you eat mindfully.  In the simplest of ways, you make sure that when you eat, you just eat.  It is an act of intentio… Read More
“Are You Ok?”
In Australia, today is “R U OK” day – and as the website says, it is about “a national Conversation Movement that is equipping Australians with the skills and confide… Read More
The Healing Art Of Tai Chi
When my neurologist told me that “more medicine does not equal less pain,” he added that what I really needed to do was change my lifestyle and mindset instead.  He wrote a… Read More
Tag Team Blogging
The other day I received a note from one of my blogging besties, Robert over at Things I Have Thought Of. The comment said something like “tag you’re it”. My first thought… Read More
The Art Of Distraction
I have a bestie over on LinkedIn, a lovely lady called Tracy (who has inspired me previously with her idea that Japanese Kintsugi pottery is a metaphor for living with pain).  Well, she… Read More
I grew up in a haunted house. It was a 100-year-old bungalow that was apparently built by a whaling captain.  It never occurred to me to be scared, because my parents never showed any c… Read More
Generosity Rather Than Gratitude
Today is International Day of Charity. As such, today’s post is a reminder to think about others rather than yourself. A while ago I wrote a post about how I replaced the desire fo… Read More
Guest Post: Miffed At Midlife
As you know, as well as blogging away, I also love reading other people’s blogs. That’s how I came across Jenny and her great blog “Miffed at Midlife”. In one of th… Read More
A Plant App For Healthcare
Yesterday was the 1st of September – the first day of Spring if you live on my side of the world – or the first day of Autumn-fall if you don’t. It’s a time of tra… Read More
Merit Badges For Adulting
When I was young, I was a Boy Scout. It’s true! In Australia at least, if you’re aged over 14 you can join the Boy Scouts as a Venturer. That’s what I was. We used to g… Read More
There is a TikTok trend that has been going around long enough now, and gaining enough interest, that Time Magazine has weighed in on the subject: Bed Rotting. (Here’s the link to t… Read More
Yesterday I wrote about receiving advice from Julius Caesar in a dream. I ummed and ahhed about whether to include information about his death in the post. I decided against it, because I wa… Read More

The Path Of Chronic Pain
One metaphor that I use a lot to describe healing is the notion of a ‘journey’. As such, I was curious to discover a poster infographic for the ‘path’ into (and out o… Read More
Bitter Isn’t Better
A while ago I saw a note on social media that went something like “I hope that every time I am misdiagnosed or medically gaslit, doctors all across the world stub a toe and suffer inte… Read More
Face Yoga For Migraines
A while ago, when I was at the physiotherapist for my frozen shoulder, I asked her for some advice about the tension in my face. I’ve mentioned before that I wear a mouthguard at nigh… Read More
OK, so the photo is accidentally very low resolution – and it’s not the most flattering image of me I’ve ever taken – but hopefully it gets my point across. … Read More
Keep Smiling As You Go Under
A gazillion years ago, I remember reading a quote from the Dalai Lama that said something like “smile with your face and your heart will follow”.  It seemed a small thing, b… Read More
Night Nausea
So, for all of you who visit looking for some optimistic insights about living your healthiest, happiest, bestest life – today’s not the day – sorry. I went to the neurolog… Read More
OK, so today is another deep dive into the science of migraines, from the Migraine World Summit 2024, covering an interview with Dr Peter Goadsby, a professor of neurology at Kings College… Read More

Healing With Colour
I found myself with an hour to spare in the university library recently.  On the shelf in the good health section, I came across a book titled “Color Healing Manual” by Paul… Read More
Hydration (Part TWO)
At the risk of grossing you all out, today’s post is about the side-effect of drinking lots of water: weeing lots of water.  If it’s not your idea of a fun read, feel free t… Read More
Together Apart
During the Covid-19 lockdown in Australia, there was a saying that kept doing the rounds in public service announcements: “together apart” – it was a neat way of explaining… Read More
