22.01.2022 You might have heard of the saying you become like the 5 people you spend the most of your time with.. But have you ever wondered why? Mirror neurons are brain cells that turn on when observing someone else do something For example, if you’re with someone, and they’re feeling anxious, and outwardly displaying it, then you start feeling anxious when you’re around them. This goes for many traits, and it can lend itself to 2 things - you find people that keep your nervous ...system in the state you are comfortable with (ie trauma bonds), or you avoid people who make you feel unpleasant states. However if you hang out with people and think that they don’t affect you, you would be incorrect, as mirror neurons do their thing without us even noticing. And then one day, BAM! You’re displaying similar traits. Do you ensure you spend the majority of your time with the best kinds of people? #mirrorneurons #5peopleyousurroundyourselfwith

20.01.2022 Does your child get night terrors? Here are some tips to help manage them.

20.01.2022 Awareness is key to healing your nervous system When you’re in constant fight/flight, you’re hypervigilant of your surroundings, but less aware of what is happening inside your own body. If the trauma is big enough, you may even feel dissociated from your body, feelings, emotions. Healing your stress response comes with awareness and helping your nervous system feel safe. And the key to this, is in the vagus nerve ... I work with people to increase their vagal tone, improve awareness in their body, and step towards healing Want to know more? I’m running a webinar on the vagus nerve - link in bio to register! #vagusnerve #vagus

17.01.2022 I know I talk a lot about chronic stress and the vagus nerve... but there are other things we need to consider too. The bacterial balance in your gut has an important effect on your vagus nerve. Remember, the vagus has nerves that go from the brain to the gut, and also nerves that go from the gut to the brain. So part of the role of the vagus nerve is to kind of sense what is happening in the organs of the body, and let the brain know. One of the ways it does this is by sens...ing whether the gut is inflamed, and how the by-products of microbiome activity are affecting the body. It is common for people to report big changes in their stress resilience, mental health and general energy, when their gut has been assessed and worked through. The vagus is also involved in the internal cleansing mechanisms we all have in our gut, so the stronger your vagal tone, the less likely you are to get an imbalanced microbiome in the first place. So if you’ve got any kind of gut issues, don’t forget about your vagus nerve!

11.01.2022 We often talk about gut feeling... but do you know it’s an ACTUAL THING? Our gut feeling comes from our vagus nerve. And the more coherent we are, the stronger it feels. Do you trust your gut feeling? #gutfeeling #entericnervoussystem

08.01.2022 Spent the day doing research with our QEEG system with my son Nolan. I demonstrated to him how playing games on his iPad reduces frontal lobe activity (which we... need to be human) and creates more imbalances in the brain. Notice in the second video his brain has increased slow wave activity in his frontal lobes - more right than left - after playing games on his iPad. Slow wave activity here = weaker brain function. I then used our #shedlightcoldlasers #neurosage and #melillomethod protocols and completely normalized his brainwave activity as you can see in the third video. This only took about 25 minutes of therapy to achieve these #results . #innovation #brain #brainhealth #proof #bigthingscoming Now, please stop and think about how all of the excessive screen time these days is affecting all of our brains! #themoreyouknow See more

08.01.2022 This recipe can be given to your baby from the moment they've eaten eggs and are fine with them! Paleo meatballs are so quick and easy to make. You can adapt them by adding other vegetables, or removing the egg, or adding different spices as flavours too. Fun for baby-led weaning, and older children.

06.01.2022 Have a read of this blog for 3 common reasons why your baby isn't walking yet. This blog is from my perspective, with a chiropractor's lens on.

06.01.2022 Stressors, such as the latest Instagram update Anyone else hate tech updates?! Took me forever to work out how to post Coherence. By far my fave thing to do with the nervous system. Vagus nerve webinar coming soon (and if you attend there might be a surprise at the end of it too ). #vagusnerve #coherence #heartmathcoherence

04.01.2022 Fearless Foodies is an online course I created to help mothers introduce food to their baby. Without following one particular black and white paradigm.. instead, you can read the research, and make your own mind up. I found there was so much judgement between mothers on how they introduced food to their babies! It honestly doesn't have to be that way. Take a look if you feel called to, and I would love if you could share with anyone who you feel might love this information.

03.01.2022 Zinc is so important for you and your whole family! The typical Australian is low in zinc. Find out how you can get it from your diet (as I'm not a fan of supplementing unless absolutely necessary!).

03.01.2022 Let’s stop comparing and start supporting #comparisonitis #trauma

03.01.2022 I don't love dietary labels to be honest, as I find the labels themselves pretty restrictive. However I see a lot of people following a paleo diet, but feeling worse on it! Paleo diets are generally low in inflammation and high in wholefoods, but you can still eat those foods in a way that isn't right for your body. Come take a read and see why!

02.01.2022 A little snapshot of my clinic space But what I really want to draw your eye to is the patch on my hand With all this talk about the vagus nerve, stress, and how to help your nervous system cope better, I thought I would introduce you to these babies ... I mostly use them in practice (and a lot on myself and my family), so I figure if it’s good enough for my practice community, I should share it with my instagram community! These patches are the easiest and simplest way I have found to alter your physiological state. You do not absorb anything. They work via photobiomodulation - ie LIGHT THERAPY. Placed on the correct spots on your body, they can stimulate your vagus nerve, downregulate your stress pathways, and one of the patches has been specifically demonstrated to increase your heart rate variability Perfect for sensitives (as you control the timing and dose), or for those who are already doing everything but can’t seem to get over that last hump. OR for anyone wanting to improve their vitality I’ve made a Facebook group with some info in there, if you’d like to join me, the link is in my bio. I’ll immediately add you to the main group too (with over 12k people in there!). If you’ve got specific questions, DM me. I could talk patches all day #photobiomodulation #heartratevariability #vagusnerve

02.01.2022 Prime example of why HRV testing can be so important. This person presented with an inability to truly slow down, no matter the amount of meditation, mindfulness or focus on slowing down. There were moments during the HRV where she was able to get into ‘green’, but every time she did, she did something within her body to push herself back to ‘red’. This is a person who is uncomfortable and unfamiliar being in a coherent, parasympathetic state. No wonder she can’t slow down We will be working together over the next few months and I will share her HRV results as we go along. #heartratevariability #heartmath
