25.01.2022 Hand washing is the bomb at the moment and this is how I will be washing my hands before and after every treatment. If you havent seen this before, have a look at this video from the WHO on how to wash our hands properly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PmVJQUCm4E - COVID-19

25.01.2022 I hope everybody has a lovely day today, celebrating Mothers Day. Also congratulations to Helen from Baulkham Hills, who is the winner of Birchtree Natural Therapies Mothers Day draw. She has won this beautiful watch storage box.

25.01.2022 WORKING FROM HOME - Massage Survival Guide - Part 2: If you are experiencing a tension headache, why not try this massage sequence below, which is from webmd.com. Below is link to the full article. Massage Therapy to Ease Headaches and Tension... Start by placing your thumbs on your cheekbones close to your ears, and use your fingertips to gently apply pressure and rub the temples (the soft spot between the corner of your eye and your ear). Using very firm pressure and a tiny circular motion, gradually move your fingers up along your hairline until they meet in the middle of your forehead, massaging your entire forehead and scalp as you inch along.

24.01.2022 Had a great day renewing my First Aid Certificate today, with Catch Training. Can't believe it's been 3 years already.

24.01.2022 COVID-19 UPDATE: Happy May everyone and hope you are all well. I am feeling kind of excited, because if new COVID-19 cases keep on remaining low, then I am planning on reopening on Monday, June 1. There will be many changes when I reopen, as COVID-19 will be a global challenge until a vaccine is available. There will also be some restrictions on treatments that have been imposed by our Government, unless they are retracted by then. I will communicate these accordingly closer ...to June 1. Just over a week ago, Remedial Massage Clinics (most, not all) were allowed to reopen with a new set of procedures. They also separated Remedial Massage Therapists from Massage Parlour Employees. This is a big win for our industry and one I welcomed greatly. So, I will be busy over the next month creating my new procedures and changing some physical aspects of my clinic space, based on current NSW Health Department guidelines. Your health, safety and wellbeing are always my priority. I will observe with interest how societys health responds to our cooler weather and the gradual easing of restrictions. I really hope all remains well as I am really missing all aspects of my work. Stay safe and well and enjoy this lovely, fresh Autumn weather.

24.01.2022 Hi everyone. Here is a quick video detailing some further changes in my Glenorie clinic. Thanks for watching. - COVID 19

24.01.2022 Well done Jan from Cherrybrook, for winning Birchtree Natural Therapies Winter Draw. Cant wait to hear what your first recipe is going to be.

21.01.2022 A big CONGRUTULATIONS to Marilyn from Kellyville, for winning this beautiful perfume, in the Birchtree Natural Therapies 2018 Summer Draw.

20.01.2022 I love this quote. I have let go of things on a physical level, such as donating clothes to a charity, that I will never wear again. I have also let go of one thing I do habitually, that is no longer needed for me to do, What can you let go of beautifully, that no longer serves you?

20.01.2022 Making some progress towards moving my massage space to its permanent home!!! Here is a sneak peak of the office space, which is actually the wardrobe!!! Loving IKEA for their small space solution designs!!! Stay tuned for more updates soon!!!

18.01.2022 Absolutely love these words. For me personally, it was very timely to see this post, so I thought I would share it, in case it resonated with you as well. Enjoy your weekend.

18.01.2022 COVID - 19 Update: Hi everyone. As of mid-night last night, our Government has shut down many businesses, including Remedial Massage Therapists. I have some ideas on how I can support you during this time for those who may need it and I will publish these soon. I am trying to focus on things that we still can do.... Hope everyone is keeping well and am missing you all.

17.01.2022 What a lovely way to end another busy week. Thank you for these beautiful Roses Amanda from Beaumont Hills. They smell as heavenly as they look. Very touched.

17.01.2022 New items in clinic to be used, when reopening in June 1, 2020. - Covid 19

16.01.2022 As most of us aware, massage is a wonderful support for when we are stressed and anxious and are needing to soothe our nervous system. Music therapy also helps with this, so please enjoy this calming, 10 minute, ad free piece of music by Leonidas Tritsiniotis. If you can, lie down, close your eyes and try to quieten your mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvqWzica5gA

15.01.2022 A Christmas message.

15.01.2022 Just sitting here, reflecting on this rainy Sunday morning. It's been 3 weeks since I have reopened and boy, what a busy 3 weeks they have been. It's been so wonderful to start seeing everybody again and welcoming a few new faces as well. So, thank you to all of you, who have come to my clinic and thank you to those of you who have rescheduled because you haven't been feeling the best. I really hope you feel better soon. Lastly I would like to thank Amanda E. (FB won't let me tag) for being so thoughtful and making me this gorgeous mask, which is way more exciting than the usual ones. She has made a heap, so if you would like a different look, let me know and I will put you in touch. Have a great week ahead everyone.

15.01.2022 Here is a simple article on how to use various types of heat packs. Heat packs are great for muscular chronic pain. As with any treatment, if it feels uncomfortable, stop the heat therapy immediatley. https://www.drugs.com/cg/heat-pack-application.html Category: Heat

14.01.2022 Hi Everyone. My family and I are enjoying living in our new home and think Glenorie is just perfect. However, I have realised that something may not be quite so perfect and this is the quality of technology. So, if I have not replied to your SMS after five hours, please feel free to resend it, phone me or message me on my FB page. I have noticed that on occasion, some messages take more than 12 hours to reach me.... Hope you have all enjoyed this beautiful day.

14.01.2022 Good morning THURSDAY from Birchtree Natural Therapies.

11.01.2022 Enjoying downloading some new music, ready for my reopening.

11.01.2022 I would love to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and to congratulate Tony from Glenhaven for winning the Birchtree Natural Therapies Christmas Draw.

10.01.2022 Getting June ready with some on-line ordering AND drinking great local coffee at the same time. YUM!!!

10.01.2022 How true is this???

10.01.2022 https://www.houzz.com.au/ideabooks/103140540 I love this concept of "Framily". You can create a life where you include wonderful, caring and supporting people in your life that are either blood relatives or great friends that you were destined to meet. I always hear of various studies in the media that seem to show that people that have a healthy social network are far happier and healthier than those who feel lonely. Enjoy creating your "Framily" .

09.01.2022 Hi Everyone. Some iso humour below that made me laugh. I hope thats not going to be me. LOL However, on a serious note, I would like to say how overwhelmed I am with the amazing support I have received from many, in regards to reopening tomorrow. My schedule is fully booked for the next two weeks (waitlists available), with appointments available from Monday, week commencing June 15, 2019. Hope everyone has a great June and things continue to go well for our community.

09.01.2022 Love this Calendar. I am about to do action # 29 with my wonderful daughter and doggies. At the moment, I am living opposite Scheyville National Park in Pitt Town, so am definitely surrounded by nature. I wonder which activity you will do first???

08.01.2022 This is the latest quote that I have displayed on my board and is being very well received by everyone I have treated this week. When I read this quote, it makes me feel calm. I think there is peace in accepting people, situations or even pain in our bodies, even though it is not so easy to do at times. With acceptance, comes correct action. What can you accept today?

08.01.2022 Dear Birchtree Natural Therapies Client, Your health, safety and well being is the main priority in my practice. Which leads me into making an important announcement in regards to the current global pandemic, being experienced. I havent issued any statements in regards to the COVID - 19 health crisis previously, as I did not want to be a contributor to the hysteria that is currently overwhelming our society in many ways. ... Now, since there is much more factual information available and more direction given from our Government into this unprecedented event in Australia, I have decided to close my clinic until Tuesday, March 31, 2020. At this time, I will review the situation again and make a further decision as to whether I will resume treatments in my clinic or stay closed. This has not been an easy decision for me at all, as I know that so many of you have benefitted from Remedial Massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage Treatments, Reiki Healing Sessions and Bach Flower Remedy consultations. Also, I would like to reassure everybody that has received a treatment from myself, that I have always followed stringent hygiene practises within my clinic, in regards to infection control procedures, as is required by law. What are the next steps: I will contact everybody that has already scheduled an appointment with me, to advise them that effective immediately, my clinic is closed until Tuesday, March 31, 2020. On Tuesday, March 31, 2020, I will review the current COVID-19 situation and make a decision as to whether I reopen or remain closed. I will notify people awaiting an appointment accordingly, as well as doing another FB post announcing my decision. Should you want to make an appointment with me, you can still reach me and I will place you on my list to contact you when I am operational again. I will keep myself updated with the latest Government facts in regards to the spread or decline of COVID-19 within Australia and beyond, so I can make informed future decisions. I will do regular posts on alternative ways to help relieve muscle tensions and ways to reduce stress during this overwhelming time. I thank you for your understanding and hope that as a society, we can stay calm and support each other during this challenging time. Sue Birch Birchtree Natural Therapies

08.01.2022 I and everybody else that has seen this uplifting quote over the last few weeks, has loved it!!!

05.01.2022 WORKING FROM HOME - Massage Survival Guide - Part 1: Are your eyes more tired working from home? Most of us could be looking at a screen more due to Zooming meetings, social get togethers as well as using technology for some well needed escapism. If so, follow this soothing gentle eye massage technique, taken from webmd.com. Here is the link to the full article which I will be posting in parts. https://www.webmd.com//massage-therapy-stress-relief-much- Massage Therapy to Re...lieve Tired Eyes "This one is great for tired eyes from staring at the computer -- it brings circulation to the area and relieves sinus pressure, eye strain, and headaches," says Dale Grust, President of the New York Chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association and a licensed massage therapist in New Paltz, N.Y., for 23 years. Close your eyes. Place your thumbs under your eyebrows, starting at the inside corner of each eye socket. Press and gently move the thumbs in tiny circles, working slowly towards the outsides of your eyebrows and continuing this movement all around your eyes, ending back at the bridge of your nose. Repeat this several times, spending a little extra time at the indentation of the inner eye socket, where the bridge of the nose meets the ridge of the eyebrows - an especially tender point on many people.

03.01.2022 I find these words very comforting and very timely, in that today is the last day of our winter.

03.01.2022 I saw this article in one of the groups I belong to. After I read it, I thought I had to repost it here, as I found the message very powerful and dynamic. It really highlights how important it is to nurture all aspects of ourselves, from the physical through to the mental and spiritual. What can you do better today for your all important self? For me, it is rest. Even though today and the next few days are very busy, I will make rest a priority on the weekend.

02.01.2022 Hope everyone is doing well. Just a quick update on how I can support you, during this time. Sorry, for the really long post. COMPLEMENTARY VIDEO CONFERENCING SESSION: This service is only available to my existing client base. If you are experiencing muscular pain that wont seem to budge, then message me, so we can set up a time and I can make some suggestions to help you alleviate your pain. I may suggest some self massage techniques, some stretches or exercises as well as ...using props such as furniture, a roller or tennis ball etc... etc... BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: For those of you that love the Bach Flower Remedies, please get in touch and I can make up a bottle to suit your current emotional needs. Delivery will be contactless and pricing will be discussed during consultation via phone or video conferencing. COMPLEMENTARY DISTANT REIKI NATURAL HEALING: This service is only available to my existing client base. It is not very well known, that Reiki can be performed long distance and the recipient does not have to be in the same room. So, for those of you that love receiving the beautiful Reiki healing energy, please contact me and I will provide further details to you. FACEBOOK POSTS: I plan on posting alot of information in regards to pain management, pregnancy massage topics, stretches and exercises for specific muscle groups, general well being information, ways on how to improve sleep quality and any other information that I think will be helpful to help us all stay well balanced on a whole. Did you know that if you click on Posts when you are on a business page, then a search box appears on the right side of the page. This will then allow you to do a search on what you a looking for. For example, if you have a sore neck, then type in neck in the search box and all the relevant posts will appear. I will categorise my posts and restructure my Birchtree Natural Therapies page to make searching easier. JUST SAY HI: As I mentioned before, I am missing seeing everybody. So, please feel free to contact me, just to say Hi. We can connect via phone, sms, video conferencing etc... etc... Even if its just for a 5 minute chat, keeping our normal interactions going can be very comforting at this time.

02.01.2022 Had a great day today, attending an ATMS Seminar about Connective Tissue Dynamics at the Novotel in Sydney Central. I love learning about the latest research in regards to the human body and how these learnings can be applied in clinical practice. I always enjoy being around like minded people and professionals.

01.01.2022 Here is a great article on hip stretches and exercises to do, if you are experiencing any tension here. As always, stop doing any move if it is causing you any pain. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/325029#safety
