Many girls fly under the radar because they don’t “look” hyperactive. Melissa from Surf Coast Women’s Health Group explains how quiet masking leads to missed diagnoses in women.

So many women feel like something is wrong with them long before they understand their neurodivergence. Melissa from Surf Coast Women’s Health Group explains why simple validation can shift everything.

Let’s talk about the mental load, the invisible work women carry every day.

It’s the life admin no one sees.
The remembering, planning, organising, worrying, anticipating… often before anyone else even notices a need.

Many women (especially mums) describe feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or “on alert” 24/7.
And it’s not because they’re not coping.
It’s because they’re carrying too much.

Here’s what we want you to know:

💛 You’re not imagining it.
Research shows women carry a significantly higher mental load, emotional labour, and cognitive stress.

💛 It affects mental health.
Burnout, anxiety, irritability, sleep disruption, emotional exhaustion and physical symptoms can all stem from mental overload.

💛 It’s not a personal failure, it’s a systemic issue.
And naming it is the first step in reducing it.

💛 Support helps.
Whether it’s sharing the load at home, rewriting boundaries, or seeking professional support, you don’t have to manage it alone.

At Surf Coast Women’s Health Group, our counsellor Melissa McKeegan specialises in helping women navigate overwhelm, identity, stress, motherhood transitions, and emotional fatigue, with compassion and evidence-based tools.

✨ If the mental load feels heavy right now, you deserve support not more pressure.

📞 Book a counselling session online
or call the clinic to chat with our team.

Your wellbeing matters.
Your mental health matters.
And you don’t have to carry everything. 💛

Neurodivergence isn’t new, and it’s not a fad. Dr Niamh explains why recognising diverse brains matters for women and girls.

ADHD in women is one of the most misunderstood areas of modern medicine and we’re seeing more women than ever finally getting the answers they’ve been searching for.

For decades, ADHD research centred almost entirely on boys.
Which means countless girls grew into women who learned to mask, compensate, over-function, and quietly burn out… without anyone realising the root cause.

Here’s what ADHD often looks like in women (and why it’s so often missed):

✨ You’re not “disorganised” you’re overwhelmed.
ADHD brains struggle with executive function, making everyday tasks mentally heavy.

✨ You’re not “too emotional” your nervous system is wired differently.
Rejection sensitivity, emotional intensity, and rapid mood shifts are common.

✨ You’re not “lazy” you’re exhausted from masking.
Women often learn to hide symptoms to meet expectations at home, work, motherhood, and relationships.

✨ You might not be hyperactive, your mind is.
Hyperactivity shows up internally: racing thoughts, restlessness, inability to slow down.

✨ You’ve learned to cope, but at a cost.
People-pleasing, perfectionism, chronic guilt, burnout… all can be ADHD adaptations.

If these resonate, you’re not alone and you’re not imagining it.

At Surfcoast Women’s Health Group, we’re passionate about bringing clarity and support to women whose symptoms have been misunderstood for years. Our GPs can help explore symptoms, provide assessment pathways, and connect you with evidence-based support options.

🌼 Your experience is valid.
Your struggles make sense.
And help is available.

“Holistic healthcare” gets used everywhere, but at Surfcoast Women’s Health Group, it actually means something real.

To us, holistic care isn’t crystals, cleanses, or wellness trends.
It’s evidence-based medicine delivered through a whole-person lens because women’s bodies, hormones, emotions, and life responsibilities are deeply interconnected.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

✨ GPs who take their time.
We look beyond the symptom and ask about sleep, stress, cycle patterns, mental load, nutrition, and lifestyle.

✨ Dietitians who understand women’s physiology.
Gut health, blood sugar, PCOS, perimenopause nutrition, emotional eating, all managed compassionately.

✨ Physiotherapists who specialise in women’s bodies.
Pelvic floor, pregnancy and postpartum, perimenopausal strength, injury rehabilitation, posture support.

✨ Counsellors who understand the complexities of being a woman.
Mental load, identity, relationships, ADHD, anxiety, and burnout.

✨ Myotherapy for tension, pain, and nervous system relief.
Because stress lives in the body, not just the mind.

✨ A group of consultants that talks professionally about YOUR health care.
This is coordinated, integrative care.
Not rushed, fragmented appointments.

Women deserve healthcare that sees the whole picture, not just the part that hurts today.

If you’re ready for care that listens deeply, treats comprehensively, and supports you from every angle…

📞 Book your appointment online or call the clinic.
Your health deserves this level of attention.

Strength training isn’t just for athletes, it’s one of the most powerful tools women can use to support their health across every stage of life.

As we move through our 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond, our bodies naturally begin to lose muscle mass, bone density, and metabolic efficiency.
But here’s the good news: strength training can slow, stabilise many of these changes.

Here’s why it matters:

✨ Bone Health
Strength training helps maintain and rebuild bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis as we age.

✨ Metabolism & Energy
More muscle = improved metabolism, steadier energy, and better blood sugar regulation.

✨ Menopause Support
Strength training can reduce hot flushes, improve sleep, and help stabilise mood.

✨ Pelvic Floor Support
With guidance from a women’s health physio, strength work can enhance pelvic floor function, not harm it.

✨ Confidence, posture, and longevity
Strong muscles support better posture, reduce pain, and keep you mobile for decades to come.

At WHG, we offer physio-led reformer Pilates, strength-based programming, and personalised support to help you feel strong at every life stage safely and sustainably.

📅 Ready to start strength training with confidence?
Book a physiotherapy or Pilates appointment online or call the clinic.

Your future self will thank you. 💛

A healthy heart supports so much more than you might think.❤️

It gives you the energy to enjoy the everyday moments, lowers the risk of serious conditions like heart disease and stroke, and helps you feel confident about your long-term wellbeing.

At Surfcoast Women’s Health Group, we believe heart health isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why our Healthy Heart Checks consider women’s unique risk factors like gestational diabetes, early menopause, pre-eclampsia, and breast cancer history because you matter.

Taking care of your heart today is an investment in your tomorrow. ✨
