Have you heard about this offering…

An offering from the heart.

In honour of my brother and his battles.

So someone else’s battle is lessened a little.

A little bit of health and healing in his memory.

Where he couldn’t.

A little piece of my love for him continuing.

Please share this one with anyone you know is struggling and would like to access my service.

Are weighted vests worth it?

I came across an expert this week telling ~250k women that weighted vests are a con and not to buy them.

And I’ve been seeing red ever since.

Please get your health advice from people who understand how to interpret research findings, are qualified and know what they’re talking about.

A big following, a self-imposed “expert” title and even discussing research don’t mean someone is giving you good information.

It’s a bloody minefield out there. Tread carefully!

I’d love to know - do you have a weighted vest?

(Note: if you are osteopaenic or osteoporotic, a vest will stop further loss, but you will need more to rebuild density)

At the first appointment, we cover A LOT!

Sometimes you have questions at the time, often you have to go home and let it all marinate for the questions to come up.

It is one of my most favourite things to do - answer your questions.

I want you to feel empowered in understanding your body

How it works
What’s not quite right
The options for the path forward.

I love the hairy questions that make me think, the questions you’ve been afraid to ask anyone, the thing that has been weighing heavy on you.

Bring all your questions.

They are always welcome

On this day, 14 years ago, we welcomed our first born daughter into the world.

Became parents.

Had, quietly frankly, the biggest shock and blessing of our lives all rolled into one.

hearts exploded with love

Surviving sleep deprivation

And the baptism of fire that is first time parenthood.

Sometimes being a parent feels like the most precious gift

And also the single hardest thing ever.

A great lesson in the dialectic. (Something we all need to be better at!)

Raising a well adjusted, content, kind, generous critical thinker

In a world that feels slightly mad.

(Or, frankly, extremely fu***ng delirious.)

I have learned so much about myself.

That patience is something to still have to get better at.

That I am very easily overstimulated and need a lot more alone time than I ever realised.

That I can do hard things.

Especially for love.

That there is no greater gift in life than love.

Happy birthday D
Thank you for making me a better human

The pelvic floor is a complex structure of muscles, fascia, and connective tissue that supports your pelvic organs from below.

The pelvic floor plays a VITAL role in bladder and bowel control, effective emptying, birth outcomes and sexual function.

There is both a deep and superficial layer of musculature and each layer can function differently. I see many women where one layer functions well, but the other layer can be weak and/or tight, asymmetrical or even significantly damaged (usually from childbirth).

No two pelvic floors are the same!

Making individualised assessment and treatment a priority.

If you are experiencing pelvic health issues, book your appointment for individualised care tailored to your needs.

I have 15 years experience in pelvic floor assessment and treatment, and you deserve excellence in care delivered with compassion and understanding.

The pelvic floor muscles are a driver of pelvic pain in many women.

Studies demonstrate between 60-90% of women with pelvic pain have pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.

Tight pelvic floor muscles can be a sign of a nervous system in over-protect mode

So a multi faceted treatment is required:

- pelvic floor muscle retraining
- nervous system support
-embodiment practices
- movement and exercise
-breathwork
-stretches

And more

If you have pelvic pain and would like support with your pelvic floor function- help is available.

By popular demand- tips for supporting a new habit.

A large portion of my work as a women’s health physio is coaching women to implement the things we work out though discussion and assessment that would enhance wellbeing and reduce (or eliminate) symptoms.

If you see yourself as ‘bad’ , ‘lazy’ or ‘hopeless’ for struggling to implement new, healthy habits, this one’s for you.

And if you found it useful, please share it with others

Some thoughts I’m having as international Women’s Day approaches tomorrow.

Audre Lordes quote always rings loud :

“I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own”

Ladies - celebrate with joy and love tomorrow, but let’s not be complacent on all that still needs to be done

May the world be a matriarchy.

Where all people are equal and cared for.

Where the vulnerable are protected.

Where community is valued

Where Mother Earth is revered, valued and protected.

Happy international women’s day to all the women in my life, I am so grateful for you all

Big love x

And - If this resonated- please share and spread the word. United we make change!
