🌿 Meet Stephanie Michieli, Physiotherapist! 🌿

Stephanie has always been passionate about health, wellness, anatomy, and movement but more than anything, she loves working with people. Physiotherapy gave her the perfect opportunity to combine these interests in a way that truly makes a difference. Whether someone is returning to sport, reconnecting with their body postpartum, or discovering just how strong they really are, Stephanie finds deep purpose in helping people transform their lives through movement.

✨ Specialties: Stephanie supports a wide range of clients but feels especially connected to those recovering from surgery or significant injury, helping them regain confidence and mobility. She works with individuals managing chronic pain, young athletes returning to sport, and new moms reconnecting with their bodies postpartum. With a strong movement-based approach and certifications in Acupuncture, Dry Needling, and TRX instruction, Stephanie tailors each treatment to meet the unique needs and goals of her patients. No matter the condition, her favorite moment is always the same: when someone realizes, “Wow… I can do this.”

💡 Her philosophy: Stephanie works collaboratively with patients, always starting with what is most meaningful to them. Her approach includes clear education, supportive coaching, and empowering tools that set people up for success beyond the clinic. She often reminds patients that physiotherapy isn’t always about aggressive treatments, it can be breathwork, nervous system regulation, or gentle, mindful movement that leads to the biggest breakthroughs.

🏞️ Outside the clinic: Stephanie finds balance through movement and nature. She loves hiking with her dogs and family, paddleboarding, spin, yoga, weight training, CrossFit, and discovering new food spots. She’s also a big fan of true crime documentaries and podcasts.

🤔 Fun Fact: Stephanie’s ideal day starts with coffee and toddler snuggles (though the coffee rarely gets finished) and ends with dog cuddles and a good book.

✨The Benefits of Abdominal Massage Post-IVF & Fertility Treatments ✨

For those navigating the journey of fertility treatments, the body undergoes immense physical and emotional stress. Abdominal massage can be a gentle yet powerful way to support recovery and well-being post-IVF or other assisted reproductive treatments.

Here’s how abdominal massage may help:

🌿Enhances Circulation – Encourages blood flow to the uterus and reproductive organs, supporting healing and optimal function.

🌿 Reduces Tension & Bloating – Helps relieve discomfort caused by hormonal medications, injections, and procedural inflammation.

🌿Supports Digestion & Detoxification – Aids in lymphatic drainage, reducing water retention and promoting overall gut health.

🌿Eases Stress & Emotional Release – Provides a soothing touch that can help release built-up tension and emotional strain.

🌿 Promotes Pelvic Alignment – Supports overall balance in the abdominal and pelvic regions, encouraging relaxation and restoration.

Whether you’re recovering from an embryo transfer, egg retrieval, or navigating post-treatment healing, intentional touch through abdominal massage can be a beautiful way to nurture your body.

Have questions about post-fertility care? We’re here to support you!

🔴PERIOD POWER: TRAIN OR CHILL? 💪

So your period shows up—now what? Do you push through like a beast 🏋️‍♀️ or crawl under a blanket with snacks 🍫? The answer: both are valid!

Here’s the deal—exercise during your period can actually help you feel better (ya, I know you probably know that).

According to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, aerobic exercise can help lessen PMS symptoms, but they’re keeping it vague on how much you need.

Translation? Listen to your body.

💪 FEELING STRONG? GO FOR IT!
✔ Strength training: Your body can access glycogen better now (hello, energy!)
✔ Cardio: Some women feel their endurance skyrockets during this phase
✔ Mobility & core work: Your body loves stability here

😴 FEELING LIKE A SLUG? HONOUR THAT.
✔ Gentle yoga or walking: Keeps blood flowing & reduces cramps
✔ Light stretching: Eases muscle tension
✔ Rest days: Because recovery is still progress

🚀 THE REAL SECRET?
It’s not about forcing yourself to train or skipping the gym just because you’re on your period—it’s about working with your body, not against it. Some cycles you’ll hit PRs, others you’ll just want to move a little. Both are wins.

Do you train through your period or take it easy?
