23.01.2022 J U S T A S Y O U A R E Please don’t be fooled by the onslaught of the new year, new you bullsh*t we are about to be smacked in the face with by all forms of media and social media platforms. Connection. ... Belonging. Acceptance. You are worthy of all three, just as you are. If you pay close attention to the advertising you consume, you may notice that 99% of it uses shame and insecurity to sell you something (products, ideas & ways of being) that you actually don’t need. We all want to be liked. We all long for connection, belonging and acceptance. And we are ALL worthy of it. You don’t have to change your appearance, your weight/shape/size, your skincare routine, your make up (or no make up), your life goals, your relationship status, your daily routine, your exercise routine, your diet (or no diet) or your whole life.... Just be you. You are enough. Just as you are. #newyear #newyearsresolution #goals #beyou #beyourself #connection #belonging #acceptance #shame #vulnerability #courage #authentic #authenticity #psychologist #therapist #counselling #depression #selfesteem #confidence #selfcompassion #youdoyou #nogoals #newyearnewyou #effyourbeautystandards #dietculture #dietcultureistoxic #camberwell #mindfulselfcompassion #bodypositivity #loveyourself

21.01.2022 WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS What a whirlwind 24 hours it has been. This time yesterday morning, I was obsessively refreshing news sites and the DHHS website. Most of you would not know this, but in 3 weeks time, I’m getting married! Today was meant to be my Bridal Shower. Today is also the first day of our 3rd lockdown in Melbourne. This post is a little different to what I would normally share with you on this page, and I hesitated to post it, but it’s something that I re...ally wanted to share with you all - my little Insta community! I want you to know how I, personally, deal with adversity in my life because this is the real, raw deal. This is me practicing what I preach and being my authentic, human self. Yesterday, 5 mins after lockdown was announced, I was bawling my eyes out ... I had a good cry and let myself feel my feelings of disappointment. It’s ok for me to be upset! I validated my feelings. However, I didn’t let myself stay in that place forever. Truth be told, my original plan was to stay home, order pizza and feel sorry for myself... but I didn’t. I said to myself, ‘No! There is no chance in hell I am going to let this pandemic stop me from making the most of what I have got right now! So, I got dressed up, did my hair and make up and I started dancing. I figured, this is meant to be a joyous time in my life, and there ain’t nothing that will take that away from me! Meanwhile, my beautiful sister and maid of honour, as well as my family, put together a very last minute, small bridal shower for me and my immediate family. I honestly had the BEST time! We laughed, we danced, we cried (good tears). I left feeling so grateful. My heart was SO full of love and happiness . I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I have people who love me, I have found someone to spend the rest of my life with and my loved ones and I are safe and alive. At the end of the day, that’s all that matters! I feel sad that there were people who weren’t able to be there with me in person, but I definitely felt their love and presence in my life, from a distance. Cont. in comments section...

19.01.2022 P E R F E C T I O N I S M A very wise human shared this quote with me two days ago and it resonated deeply with me (it may be a quote by Wayne Dyer?). As we move into this holiday season, go gently. This isn’t a happy time of year for everyone, and this year is no different. ... This time of year is already quite intense and stressful. Family dramas, longing for connection, expectations and emotions running high.... add a global pandemic to the mix and you have the perfect recipe for heightened anxiety. I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but it’s ok to meet yourself where you are right now. It’s ok to do less. It’s ok to have a break. Take the pressure off, even if only for this one moment. Pause. Breathe. Reset. If you’re anything like me, you may have a to-do list with 67 incomplete items remaining to get through before the end of the year... But so what? F*#k the to-do list. There will ALWAYS be things to do but your self worth doesn’t have to be tied in with your productivity. You are not a machine. You are a human. Be kind to yourself, but also be realistic... this year has sucked, you’re probably feeling a bit depleted and it’s likely you’ve pushed through a few too many times this year... So now, give yourself permission to rest, to fill your cup, to give back to YOURSELF. You have earned it!

14.01.2022 Almost every day, I am hearing from people who are asking me, Am I broken? Is it me? Am I the only one feeling this way?. If this is you, please know, you’re not alone. It seems to be an almost universal feeling of burnout that we are all experiencing. People are telling me they feel tired, exhausted, irritated and that everything is an effort. Everyone is over the constant changes. Everyone is over this crap. ... It is our automatic tendency to go into self blame and shame. You might be blaming your body, your sensitivities or perceived defectiveness. When are we ever going to wake up to ourselves and realise - it’s not us. We are not the problem. The problem lies outside of us. It is capitalistic systems that underpin these values and expectations we have of ourselves. We were never built to perform , perfect and produce endlessly. We are not machines. Our bodies are not designed to withstand this level of constant stimulation, over activity and pressure. Our nervous systems have had it. Our immune systems have had it. We are not sick. The system we live under is sick. We don’t need to be fixed, we are not broken. The system is broken. #burnout #burnoutprevention #burnoutrecovery #covid_19 #burnoutsyndromes #anxiety #nervoussystemregulation #pandemicmentalhealth #covidmentalhealth #mentalhealth #psychology #psychologytips #selfdevelopment #selfcare #slowdown #restore #beyou #beyourself #authentic #yogateacher #psychologist #therapist #assertiveness #boundaries #selfcompassion #mindfulselfcompassion #capitalismkills #thesystemisbroken #youarenotbroken #selflove @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

09.01.2022 I N N E R T R U T H So often we turn to others to seek out what we can only find within. Only when we can let go of external validation and approval and learn to sit with ourselves just as we are, are we truly living an authentic, free and liberated life. ... What is meaningful and fulfilling for you, is not necessarily going to be the same for others. What you enjoy, what lights you up, what makes your soul sing... that is the essence of YOU. This all sounds wonderful in theory, but as human beings, we are also wired to long for attachment, belonging, connection, love (for our survival). Perhaps somewhere along the way you were rejected, hurt, expected to act or behave a certain way in order to be loved/accepted (high school or early childhood experiences is usually when this happens) If you experienced conditional love or acceptance, you may have developed false narratives and beliefs about yourself or rigid rules and expectations that you continue to feel pressure to live by. Imagine how freeing it would be to just be you, without any hoops to jump through, without having to meet certain expectations... just by allowing yourself to be who you are, just as you are. The good news is, it is possible. But it means that you have to fully commit to this path of authenticity, and it’s not an easy path to walk. A good starting point to finding the real/true you is to check in with yourself a few times throughout the day and ask what do I need in this moment?, what feels good for me? what is my preference? Journaling, therapy, meditation and yoga are also helpful tools in teasing this all out... to get to know yourself, to come home to yourself and trust that process... the rest will follow #authenticity #beyourself #beyou #confidence #vulnerability #comehometoyourself #innertruth #speakyourtruth #trauma #attachment #belonging #connection #yoga #psychology #mentalhealth #yogapsychology #yogaformentalhealth #psychologist #therapist #onlinetherapy #healing #holistic #selfcompassion #selflove #mindfulness #mindfulselfcompassion #camberwell #yogateacher

08.01.2022 Just want to say that it’s ok if you felt really sad this Christmas. It’s ok if it wasn’t the same as usual. It’s ok if you cried. Its ok if you felt grief. It’s ok if you were disappointed. It’s ok if you missed your loved ones due to distance or loss. It’s ok if you weren’t joyous and happy the whole time. It’s ok if it sucked. It’s ok if you compared your Christmas to other people’s on social media and felt let down. It’s ok if you spent it alone. It’s ok if you felt alone... in a room full of people. It’s ok if you didn’t enjoy it. Don’t feel guilty. It’s ok to feel whatever you feel. Just know that I see you, I hear you and I feel you. Be kind to yourself. It’s not a normal Christmas this year. #christmas #christmas2020 #depressionhelp #depressionawareness #anxietyrelief #christmasgrief #grief #loneliness #isolation #lockdownchristmas2020 #lockdown #covidchristmas #covidchristmas2020 #holidayseason #beyou #beyourself #feelyourfeelings #emotions #selfcompassion #mindfulselfcompassion #bekindtoyourself #bekind #covidnormal

07.01.2022 G R A T I T U D E We have all overcome so much adversity, so many obstacles and so much suffering this year. Your story is different to mine. Your journey is unique to you. Whatever you have been through this year, just know that I see you, I hear you, I feel you It wasn’t easy. It’s still not easy. I am proud of you for being so resilient, so strong and so patient this year. I am proud of you for making it to this point.... I know that the holiday season is not always a happy time of year for people, and this year is no different. Many people around the world will not get to spend time with their loved ones this year, due to COVID, homelessness, distance or disconnection. I am also acutely aware that it was only a few months ago (here in Melbourne) that we were restricted to a 5km radius, had an 8pm curfew and could only leave our homes for 2 hours max for exercise, food or medical attention. But yet, here we are now, sharing this moment together; connecting through this page. Thank you for being here with me this year, thank you for trusting me, thank you for giving me this space to share content with you and connect with you. It means the world to me Take a moment to thank yourself and your body for what it has accomplished this year. You made it! You survived (and continue to survive) a global pandemic. And even if that is ALL you did this year, give yourself the acknowledgement you deserve. This holiday season, take some time out to thank yourself for making it this far and for holding on to hope (even if it was only by a thread). Keep going! I believe in you. #gratitude #thankful #blessed #grateful #thankyou #yoga #yogateacher #yogapractice #outdooryoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogagirl #yogaincamberwell #psychologist #telehealth #onlinetherapy #nature #naturephotography #naturetherapy #dancerspose #inspiration #motivation #beyourself #beyou #authentic #authenticity #dandenongranges #foresttherapy #georgetindalegardens #christmas #holidayseason

05.01.2022 It saddens me to say that I’ll be taking a bit of an extended break from all my social media pages. Due to ongoing health issues, I am having to come to terms with the fact that I have less energy and limited resources to work with, so I have made a decision to take a step back from social media for a while in order to prioritise managing the practice and supporting my clients. This is not a permanent goodbye. I will definitely be back, so please stick around!... Looking forward to posting again more regularly when things settle down. Thank you for your ongoing support my lovely Insta community. I will be back soon!
