An unusual week coming to a close. Last Saturday - after discovering I had a tooth abscess at a routine dental check - I found myself back in the Dentist chair having my back lower right molar extracted! π¦·π³
Once the actual tooth was gone, a careful healing recovery time had to be planned. No physical activity workouts for 5 days basically. For me thatβs my work & my days can be made up of several extremely active private sessions and classes. I have recordings of my current program sessions & being able to provide those to my clients is worthwhile.
In stopping, recovery & rest time - the connectedness of my mind, body & spirit was amplified. My body knew what it needed to start healing - it was my mind that had to really compute to let it.
Somehow my time spent not working & resting to recover felt unusually paused, calm & peaceful.
When Friday came and I was back doing a full morning at the Studio - my day started in vibrant moving color with the hot air balloon ballet floating over my house πGuiding my first full BREATH Session π for 2026 - welcoming the Year of the Fire Horse π₯π Private clients and the lovely green walk in nature home.
ππ₯° To top it off - my - I saw my divine grandaughter with my son . . . they have been away and I have not seen her for over a month. She is now sitting, crawling, even standing holding on and enjoying some solids π₯°π
On my way home I ate nourishing food outside in the fresh air at a delightful Cafe in Armadale .armadale
A beautiful day βοΈπ an abundance of gratitude in play ππΌππ»ββοΈβ₯οΈ
When unexpected re-navigation changes our path - it can have surprisingly new & refreshed experiences along the way.
In a strange way my tooth removal felt like the final shedding of the year of the snake - though I look forward to it healing a bit more so I donβt feel like there is a crater in my mouth π

π Breathwork & Biodynamic Breathing - what are they?
π€ Why are they creating transformational experiences for so many people around the globe?
π€ Stress, trauma & overwhelm donβt just live in your mind - they live in your body, breathing, posture, fascia & nervous system. Breathwork is one of the few tools that can shift it all: body, brain & spirit.

While SMILE will not proceed at Ardency in Richmond (which is a shame for APT Community who were very keen to do it - not in my control sorry)
Itβs looking very likely more βSmilersβ will gather in the Manningtree Community in Hawthorn and enjoy what will be the 19th SMILE Course.
It has only ever been a joy & pleasure to teach this wonderful accessible way to live life with practical tools & knowledge that are applicable immediately! I live my own life with a Mobility Matters SMILE mindset & draw on the 10 key ingredients often.
In this final part of the year of the snake, shedding unwanted skin that no longer fits can be uncomfortable but bravely necessary.
I will always lead with love, passion, lived experience, curiosity, care, kindness and an acute awareness where my energy aligns. This is a gift πππΌππ»ββοΈβ₯οΈ
I look forward to seeing you & moving & breathing with you in your next session. Whether itβs, live online, from one of the 3 spaces I work from in Richmond or a recording - I believe in you & you are enough just as you are.
