🚨 Bushfire Smoke & Your Health 🚨

With bushfires burning in our region, many of us are experiencing smoky air that can impact breathing, energy levels and overall wellbeing.

Here are a few simple ways to take care of yourself during this time:

🌫️ Limit smoke exposure
Stay indoors as much as possible, especially if you have asthma, heart conditions, are pregnant, or have young children.

🏠 Create a clean-air space at home
Keep windows and doors closed and, if you have one, run an air purifier. Even a split system on “recirculate” can help.

😷 Wear a mask outside
A P2/N95 mask offers better protection if you need to be outdoors.

💧 Stay well hydrated
Drink plenty of water to help your body cope with the extra stress smoke places on your system.

🌿 Support your body
Gentle stretching, calm breathing and reducing strenuous exercise outdoors can help protect your lungs.

❤️ Listen to your body
If you notice worsening shortness of breath, chest tightness, dizziness or headaches, seek medical advice.

Our team at Wangaratta Health & Wellbeing is here to support you — whether it’s managing stress, supporting your breathing, or helping your body recover from the extra load.

Please take care of yourselves and each other during this challenging time. 🤍

Pause Gateway Support — Summer in Wangaratta 🌿

Summer in Wangaratta and across the North East often means long days, busy schedules, travel, social events, and school holidays — all wonderful, but sometimes a lot for the nervous system.

Heat, disrupted routines, extra driving, and the constant “on” feeling can place added tension through the upper neck and shoulders, where the Pause Gateway sits.

When this area is under stress, you may notice:
• Headaches or neck tightness
• Feeling restless or overstimulated
• Trouble switching off at night
• Fatigue despite staying busy
• Brain fog or irritability

How Spinal Flow can support you this summer
Spinal Flow is a gentle, non-invasive approach that helps release stored tension patterns along the spine — including the Pause Gateway.
By supporting nervous system regulation, Spinal Flow encourages your body to shift out of survival mode and into a state of calm, balance, and ease 🌊

Many clients notice feeling:
• More relaxed and grounded
• Clearer mentally
• Less tension through the head and neck
• Better sleep and recovery

Just as summer invites us to enjoy life, Spinal Flow helps your body keep up without burning out.

❤️‍🔥In very hot weather, it’s not just uncomfortable, but hydration becomes Nervous System Care 💧. The Nervous System relies on adequate fluids to regulate body temperature, support brain function and manage stress. When we’re dehydrated it can contribute to fatigue, headaches, irritability, dizziness and a feeling of being ‘wired or wiped out.’
Sipping water regularly, rather than waiting until you feel thirsty, helps take some of the load off your Nervous System during heat waves like we’re currently experiencing ☀️🥵
This is a gentle reminder to drink up, rest when you can and be kind to your body. If recovery is slow, I’m happy to help. Please take care 💜

🎄 Looking After Your Body This Christmas 🎄
Christmas is a time for connection, celebration, and giving — but it can also place extra stress on the body and nervous system. Busy schedules, rich foods, long drives, disrupted sleep, and emotional demands can all add up.
This season, remember that your body is always communicating with you. Fatigue, digestive discomfort, tension, anxiety, or pain are signs your nervous system may be asking for support.
✨ Spinal Flow works by gently supporting the nervous system, helping the body release stored stress and return to a state of balance. When your nervous system is regulated, your body can heal, adapt, and cope more effectively — even during the busiest time of year.
Give yourself (or someone you love) the gift of better health, ease, and resilience this Christmas. You don’t have to push through or wait until the new year to feel better.

🌿 Appreciating the Wisdom of Your Nervous System 🌿

Your nervous system is the master communication network of your body—constantly coordinating movement, regulating organs, processing emotions, and keeping you safe and balanced.

But stress, tension, emotions, and past experiences can create blockages in this beautiful system. When communication slows or becomes disrupted, you may feel it as pain, fatigue, anxiety, or simply feeling “off.”

✨ This is where Spinal Flow comes in.
Spinal Flow helps release stored tension, clear blockages along the spine, and restore the natural flow of energy and information through your nervous system. As your body unwinds, healing pathways reawaken—supporting better sleep, calmer moods, reduced pain, and an overall sense of alignment and vitality.

Your body wants to heal.

Your nervous system knows how to heal.

Spinal Flow simply helps reconnect you to that wisdom. 💛

How Spinal Flow Can Support Anxiety, Depression & Nervous System Imbalances
This time of the year isn't always easy for everyone and can highlight the added stress your body is trying to cope with.
Your nervous system is at the centre of everything you feel and experience… your mood, your ability to cope with stress, your emotional balance, and even how your body heals.

When it becomes overloaded or stuck in “fight or flight,” it can contribute to challenges like anxiety, depression, overwhelm, neurological tension and overall dysregulation.

Spinal Flow® works by identifying blockages along the spine that interrupt the natural flow of energy and communication between the brain and body. In this case, it might involve the Base Gateway, one of the 7 Gateways of your Nervous System & Spine

Through gentle contact with access points, the nervous system is helped back into safety, ease and balance, helping you shift out of stress patterns and into a calmer, more regulated state.

🌿 Spinal Flow may assist with:
• Easing anxiety and calming the overactive stress response
• Supporting emotional wellbeing and clarity
• Improving sleep and relaxation
• Enhancing mind–body connection
• Reducing neurological tension patterns
• Promoting a sense of grounding, safety and inner steadiness

This gentle, non-invasive approach allows the body to release stored tension, giving your nervous system the space it needs to reset and heal from within.

If you’re ready to support your emotional and neurological wellbeing naturally, I’d love to work with you.

Do you ever think to yourself...... What if...... What would my life feel like if there was no stress, pain, or tension in my body? What if you had good quality sleep every night?

Wouldn't this change things?

We convince ourselves that this is something we just have to “live with.” But your body has a deep intelligence — it wants to flow, to reset, and to guide you back to balance through healing.

Spinal Flow is a gentle, non-invasive way to help your nervous system release what it’s been holding onto, making space for ease and comfort, more energy, and clarity.
You don’t have to carry it all alone. Your healing starts when you choose it.

🌿✨ GUT HEALTH MATTERS ✨🌿
Let’s Talk Gut Health
Your gut does so much more than digest food — it plays a major role in your energy, mood, immunity, and overall wellbeing. When the gut becomes stressed or imbalanced, you may notice
symptoms like bloating, constipation, IBS, reflux, fatigue or even heightened anxiety. But it doesn't have to be like this! and I'm happy to help you get some relief.

What Affects Gut Health?
Your digestive system can become overwhelmed by:
✨ Stress – mental, emotional, physical or chemical stress can disrupt how the nervous system communicates with the digestive organs.
✨ Poor posture & spinal tension – when the spine is under stress, the nerves that support digestion can’t function at their best.
✨ Inflammation – often triggered by diet, intolerances, or stress.
✨ Sluggish nerve flow – when blockages exist along the spine, the gut may not receive the clear signals it needs to digest, move and eliminate properly.

How Spinal Flow Supports the Gut
Spinal Flow works by releasing stress, easing tension and helping the nervous system shift into a calm, regulated state.
When your body relaxes, your digestive system can finally do what it’s designed to do — move, heal and balance itself naturally.
Many clients notice improvements in:
💚 IBS symptoms
💚 Bloating and discomfort
💚 Constipation
💚 Gut-brain connection
💚 Overall digestive flow
A calm spine = a calm nervous system = a happier gut.

If you’d like support with your digestion, I’d love to help you feel lighter, calmer and more connected in your body. 0407295500 or for more information: www.intrinsichealth.au

🌱 What is Chemical Stress — and Why It Matters

Chemical stress comes from toxins and imbalances — from processed foods, pollutants, medications or metabolic waste — that over time create subtle disruption inside your body. This stress can interfere with your cells’ ability to function well, affecting energy levels, digestion, immune strength and emotional balance.

Even if you don’t see obvious symptoms, your nervous system may be carrying “static” — blocking your body’s natural flow of energy and healing.

🌀 How Spinal Flow Helps

As a certified Spinal Flow practitioner, I gently work with your spine’s 33-access-points (the “gateways” along the spine from head to tailbone) to release stored stress — whether chemical, emotional or physical.

When blockages clear, your nervous system can communicate with every part of you. That often means:

Reduced stress, tension, anxiety and a calmer nervous system
Better energy flow and vitality
Relief from pain, stiffness or chronic discomfort; improved posture and mobility
Greater sense of mental clarity, emotional balance and overall wellbeing

🌿 The Bigger Picture

Chemical stress isn't always easy to identify. It’s often behind the scenes, creating subtle blockages in your body’s intelligence and healing capacity. With Spinal Flow, you’re not just treating symptoms — you’re giving your body a chance to reconnect, rebalance and heal from the inside out.
