Things will look a little different in the clinic over the next couple of weeks 💚

I’m heading away with Lis for her last Age Nationals (which still feels pretty special), so we’ve made a few changes to our hours while I’m away.

We’ve set things up so there’s lots of support in the clinic. Carly is here for her usual sessions, and I’ll be in over the next 2 days before I head off.

All the details are in the slides so you can easily check what’s happening and plan ahead if you need.

If you’re trying to get in touch while reception is a little quieter, just give us a call and leave a message or send an email — we’ll be checking in regularly and will get back to you as soon as we can.

Back to normal hours from the 20th 😊

Walking might not feel exciting, but it’s one of the most useful things we can do for our bodies.

In clinic I often see women who feel stiff, sore or tight and one of the first things we look at is simply how much movement is happening in their day.

You don’t need extreme workouts to support your body.

Often it’s the small, consistent habits that make the biggest difference. A short walk, fresh air, and moving your joints regularly can go a long way.

How often do you manage to get out for a walk during the week? ☺️💚

Lis has a big swimming competition this weekend, her last Long Course State Age Championships, so the lead-up has definitely begun.

Training is still happening:

Same pool,
Same lanes,
Same coach,

but the atmosphere always shifts a little during meet week.

Swimmers start thinking about their races, parents check the program (again), and everyone is just a little bit more aware that something important is coming.

Your nervous system notices that too.

There’s a little more anticipation, a little more focus, a little more adrenaline floating around than usual.

Your body doesn’t just respond to physical effort.

It also responds to expectation.

Which is why even a normal training session during competition week can leave everyone feeling just that little bit more wired… and a little bit more tired.

It’s a good reminder that physiology isn’t only about what you do.

It’s also about what your body thinks is coming next.

Anyone else have something big coming up that their nervous system is already preparing for? ☺️💚

Waking at 3am can feel incredibly frustrating, especially when you went to bed at a reasonable time and really tried to “do everything right.”

In the early morning hours, cortisol naturally begins to rise as your body prepares to wake. If your overall stress load is already elevated, that rise can feel exaggerated — enough to switch your brain fully on.

It doesn’t mean something is wrong, and it doesn’t mean you’re failing at sleep. It simply means your system is a little more sensitive to load right now.

This is even more common in third trimester, when hormonal shifts, physical discomfort and anticipation all layer in.

Before chasing supplements or assuming something is broken, start gently: stabilise your fuel earlier in the day, reduce late light exposure, and lower stimulation before bed.

Small adjustments often change sleep depth more than adding more hours.

If 3am has been visiting you lately, you’re not alone. ☺️💚

Understands sleep physiology - Still yawns!

I talk a lot about depth, stimulation and nervous system load. And some mornings I’m still outside with my laptop wondering why my eyes aren’t fully open yet.

Regulation isn’t about perfection. It’s about adjusting when you notice the signs.

Today’s sign = Earlier wind-down tonight. ☺️💚

By this point in February, patterns are set.

✨ Sleep timing has shifted.
✨ Screen time has increased.
✨ Posture has become more sustained.
And then the headaches start. 😔

The upper cervical spine shares neural pathways with the trigeminal system: the primary sensory pathway for the head and face. When load stays elevated, those shared pathways can become sensitised.

That’s why neck tension and head pain so often rise together this time of year.

Before blaming your pillow or your stress levels, look at your inputs.

Load changes require regulation changes.

What a weekend in Adelaide 🌸 Sunshine, warmer air, and so many people (including me!) out in their gardens. After months of grey skies, it felt so good to soak up some much-needed vitamin D.

As a chiropractor, I can’t help but think about what that sunshine is doing for our bones, mood, and energy. Vitamin D is the key that helps your body absorb calcium, without it, bones can become weaker over time. For women, that’s especially important once we hit our 30s and bone density naturally starts to decline.

The challenge is… many of us come out of winter with low vitamin D levels. Shorter days, more time indoors, and less sun on our skin all add up. That’s why spring is the perfect time to top up naturally and reset those levels for the months ahead.

☀️ In Adelaide, 10–15 minutes of sun on your arms and face, a few times a week, is often enough. A coffee break outside might be doing more for your health than you realise!

There’s more to the story though; food sources, barriers, and why women need to pay particular attention to their vitamin D levels.
