There will be many people in the Northern Rivers exeriencing ongoing trauma due to the recent natural disaster. Everyone's journey is personal and unique. This free online Wholistic Recovery Program to help support recovery from natural disasters provides a variety of tools to help with this journey. ❤️

The course takes a trauma aware approach and blends evidenced natural medicines (foods, herbs, nutrients and lifestyle choices) with concepts from yoga and Deep Ecology as an offering of tools to support your recovery from disaster.

The last week has been a wild ride with everyone impacted in some way. So many homes and businesses destroyed and the Lismore community kicked in the guts. So many emotions, so many broken people. It is overwhelming and heart breaking.💔💔

Seeing the Lismore community and beyond come together is inspiring. This is the best of humanity. This why I love Lismore. We have done this before. We are resilient. We know how to do this.

My clinic space and Northern Rivers Pilates are being gutted and re-built. We have both lost everything. The great thing is all I really need are my hands and a table. I have been offered the temporary use of a room in Goonellabah by the lovley Leah Dwyer Osteopath. I also have a portable table to do home visits.

This is the beginning of a long journey. I will be here. Please reach out if you need some treatment. Be kind and gentle with your selves and each other ❤️

Life is stressful at the moment with so much fear, anxiety and uncertainty. We will have to learn to live with Covid 19 so shift the focus from daily case numbers and vaccinations and lets look at ways to improve our holistic health to bolster ourselves at this time. This blog series by Sally Mathrick is a great read.

I have taken on work as a clincial educator at Southern Cross Uni supervising final year osteo students in the student clinic. This is where they put all their learning into practice and gain hands on experience in diagnosing, treating and managing people. All of this is fully supervised by myself and other experienced osteopaths. Visiting an osteopath can be cost prohibitive for many people. The student clinic offers excellent osteopathic treatment at a much reduced cost.

More patients = more experience = better osteopaths

I am settling into my new space in within Northern Rivers Pilates and am busier than ever helping people to stay well during this crazy time. Unless you live in a cave we all know the Covid drill but here is a reminder:

Please wash you hands before you come into clinic and when you leave. You can do so in our bathroom. I also have hand sanitiser in my room for your use.

As always I am practicing hand hygeine and changing towels and gowns between each patient. I am disinfecting contact areas on treatment table between each patient and throroughly cleaning all high contact areas daily.

Please DO NOT come in for your appointment:

If you, or an immediate member of your household, been identified as a contact of anyone with Covid 19 in the last 2 weeks.
If you, or a immediate member of your household, are experiencing a fever, cough, sore throat, sneezing, difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell. Get tested.
If you, or any of your household, are under mandatory isolation or awaiting Covid 19 test results.
If you have returned from overseas travel, Melbourne or Sydney.

As it is impossible to practise physical distancing while treating you I will be wearing a mask. I have masks for you to wear too if you require one.

By applying these measures I can hope we all stay safer and healthier so I can continue to offer you the best in osteopathic treatment through this challenging time. If you have any concerns please contact me.

I will be back in clinic next week from Wednesday 24th June. I am still located within Northern Rivers Pilates but we have moved to a new location:

Ground Floor, 210 Keen St, Lismore

New space but offering same caring and nurturing environment providing safe and effective osteopathic treatment with a naturopathic underpinning to reduce pain, and improve health and wellbeing

It goes without saying that my clinic as well as the pilates studio will be adhering to strict cleaning and screening protocals for Covid 19. So please stay home if you are unwell.

Call or text 0401222661 or email cynamonosteo@gmail.com for an appointment

Check out Northern Rivers Pilates who are now offering mat classes as well from their bigger and better studio - a great compliment to osteo treatment.

Emerging from the confines of the last month feeling recharged and grounded. Since hibernating my osteo clinic 3 weeks ago the site of my clinic has closed and I will be relocating to a new home which may take a while. In the meantime I am available for home visits. I am also available for existing patients on the phone, by email or ZOOM/Facetime/Skype at no charge if you need advice for any health concern. Please contact me 0401222661 cynamonosteo@gmail.com.

I made the decision on Monday to close my osteopath clinic for the moment, in light of the COVID-19 situation.

With increasing government guidelines regarding social distancing and stay at home directives, I could not continue to provide, with a clear conscience, face to face, hands on treatment and risk the spread of this virus.

This is a difficult decision for me as, I believe, osteopathic treatment is needed now more than ever. However this is the best decision for me, my family and close community.

I am still here for you though! So email or call with any health issues I can help you with.

Stay safe. ❤️
