24.01.2022 Feeling a little lost or uncertain today? take the time to read this and know that the future looks bright when you have kids like this in the world.... Enjoy...

24.01.2022 This is the real strength.....from the wise words from the Wizards of Oz...."Youve always had the power my dear".....

24.01.2022 Be careful, that this is not you....

23.01.2022 Something to remember always...

22.01.2022 Beautiful, beautiful rain......and what do you do when its like this? You light the fire and read a book. Well................. I have been reading encoding and decoding behaviour....sounds riveting doesn't it? Well actually it is. You see this means understanding the emotions and traumas that a child may feel, or experience, that can be, and usually are overwhelming for the child.... They don't have the skill set to understand nor distinguish what has happened, what that leaves you with, may be a tantrum or outburst. Sometimes an angry child will lash out in many ways, including, yelling or hitting. This doesn't make them a bad or naughty child, it may mean that they just don't understand what is happening, what emotion they are feeling, but what they have learn't is that this may be their way, of dealing with the situation. An interesting thought on this subject is that other siblings may remember, or recall these situations, and that memory recall, is that of a child........in essence what they may remember as adults, is the memory of a child. Confused yet? Well, an example may be, that quite often, when there is family conflict, and not everybody gets on it's because of the recalled memory, of what occurred years ago. This can be often bought to the surface around family events, like Christmas, birthdays, weddings. There may be a couple of ways of handling the situation, one may be to say "It's too hard, too much time has gone and I don't want to fix it Or " Were things really that bad, and have we all grown up There is no right, nor wrong way for this resolution that suits everyone. The right way for you, is to think about what you want. People grow, people evolve, people learn. look at the type of person that they have become, are they a good human, do they have a kind and loving heart, will they be there for you in times of crisis. With so much isolation of 2020, families may be holding onto reunions of reconnecting, and maybe......... just maybe, it may have bought with it some extra, peace and understanding of the things that really do matter. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day...

22.01.2022 Just a quick little insight into anger and how a child may explode......you react to the explosion ( because after all you are only human..)....and there are no winners or happy outcomes. Look at this diagram and try to remember it next time your child "blows up"

21.01.2022 Just a little advice on how to wear a mask properly...

17.01.2022 You dont have to click on the post or go any further, just listen to this video, and think a little. This information is not crazy or radical, I believe we are on information overload, and are very confused with all the expert advice available to us. Some of it coming from "instant experts and Dr Google " the dietary advice and diet plans, from friends and social media. As I have said before, diets dont work, because every diet you go on, is a diet you come off. ... 2020 has been a year of change, so why not take this time to make some simple changes for yourself and your loved ones. If you are a parent or caretaker, how better to love someone, than by giving the best as you know it. There is no way that you would fill your car with sub standard or dirty fuel........so why on earth would you put it in your body......after all, you can always buy a new car......but you only get one body. Just listen to it, think about it, and see how you can can make soem small but essential changes to your own life. Enjoy...

17.01.2022 To those who have known me throughout the years, know that I have taken my annual leave in July. In the past this time of the year has always worked for me, but 2020 has proven to be more of a challenge. I, like many other businesses was forced into self isolation for a number of weeks, making me rethink my holiday......but after consulting with my faithful clients, they have reminded me of what I tell them......."People matter, things dont"....so, in this instance I will ...be spending time with some precious family and friends. O.K....then....bring on July !!! I will be working the first week of July, then I will take 4 weeks off ...to recharge....refocus.....read books.....catch fish....and camp at the beach..... my idea of heaven.

17.01.2022 I have reposted this from a friends fb page...to good not to share. It is very easy to become vocal on so many issues, and masking or not masking can cause some grief or anxiety. It is very important that we all mask up...to do what we can, not only to protect ourselves but to others.... But sometimes there may be something more to someones story. Dont judge, just do what you can. Mask up Social distance where possible Wash hands regularly And take care of your mental health...

16.01.2022 So...the world has changed and we have adapted.....we have washed our hands....we have self isolated.....and we have kept our distance. Now what? I honestly dont know.... BUT what I do know is, we go on. I was talking to my 91 year old mother this morning, (who is doing very well and is well cared for in her facility thank you ) and we decided that we are all "pot bound.....just like our pot plants, they are alive and must be growing, but they are not thriving..........and I think that is what we are like at the moment. The myriad of emotions that we have experienced over the last few of months is overwhelming. It has been different for each , it depends on what has affected you the most. Drought Bush fires Covid Isolation All of these events have been out of our control, we have been passengers in our life, not the driver...and this is alien to many. Not being able to do what or when we choose has been difficult. Everyone therefore, has been able to cope differently, it is relevant to them and their situations, and there is no right and no wrong. Everyone is doing the best they can. It has been highlighted to me, through the clinic, that we have changed. Changed in many ways. How we react, how we speak, how we function and how we expect to go on, whether we can, or not, hug someone we love. These have been very hard to cope with. It is like we have also become sensitive to every word or action that is said or not said, in essence we have missed each other, in ways that we didnt think possible. We all need to be, and feel loved, and part of that is more than just a phone call. It wont be long now, before we can resume our lives, but it will be different. Back in 2001 a catastrophic event changed the world as we knew it 9/11........but we adapted, we continued to move forward, and here we are now in 2020, and another global event has changed the world. And yes....we will adjust, we will adapt, and we shall thrive. We just need to be patient just a little bit longer.

15.01.2022 Just saying....

15.01.2022 This is a very true and poignant on the effect that grief has on a person. It is something that cannot be measured, by time and space. Life does go on, but it leaves the soul with a hole that never heals, you can heal around the pain because you have to, but there are times when that pain and grief can be almost to much to bear.... You cannot make someone "feel better", just give them love, and support.....

14.01.2022 Good morning world, spring is a beautiful time of the year and this one is lovely. The rain has been great ( even though we do need a bit more ). Everyones gardens are blooming and the bees are buzzing. I feel a little more blessed with some beautiful roses from some 2 special clients, thanks Meri and Marie.... 2020 has been a tough year, but hang in there, on the whole, we have done extremely well. People of my era have never been truely tested, we have never really experienced hardships. We are tougher, stronger and more resilient than we think. Take time out today to look.....breathe....and be just a little bit grateful.....

14.01.2022 We often try to justify having a spell....we recharge our phones.....we refuel our cars, so why do we value objects more than ourselves?

14.01.2022 I got this from "Its OK not to be OK" page and I find it so very true. Pain and grief are not measurable and we mustnt assume it is. It is OK to feel, but you never need to be alone.

13.01.2022 I love chocolate cake...

13.01.2022 Watch....learn....and smile...

12.01.2022 Pain and struggle are real...... but let it in......let it go.......and live on.....

12.01.2022 Sometimes, it seems the more we have, the less we share...

12.01.2022 An interesting thought....I saw this photo on another site, so I just googled the average price in Australia for a pack of 50 cigarettes is $53.95 according to the Aussie price web site. I dont smoke so maybe you can buy them cheaper, I dont know, but what I do know is there are lots of alternatives for that money. It is always easy to justify any money spent on addiction when you want, whether that be, smoking, drinking, gambling.........the sad fact about addictions are ...that many people do not acknowledge they are addicted. It is easy to say "I work hard.....I deserve a little down time.....I dont really go out, why cant I? We all have free will, and we can all make our own minds up, and make our own decisions......but do we really? The impact that this is not just about you, it is about your family and loved ones. The reality of this is that, they already know this, are totally aware of the repercussions on their own health and of those around them. Lets hope that this simple post may resonate with just one person, that they can hear the message and acknowledge and be honest with themselves. It is not up to you or me, to tell them to stop or give up, but it it is our responsibilty to support and not judge them when they are able to take the first steps on regaining their life and health back. Who knows......maybe just one person.....

11.01.2022 To all the women and young girls this may be one of the most important things you will read today. We are living in a fast paced world, one where to succeed in life, its imperative that we have careers, perfect families, happy relationships, clean homes, happy pets, no ironing left in the basket,.......etc.....etc.....etc....... But what about you.....ah that's right...you also need to go to the gym......or yoga....or pilates.....or walk 7km before work......or swim 30 laps.....etc.....etc...etc..... Getting the picture? Is this you? I bet not.... A womans body is amazing, it has the ability to nuture life and give birth, our skin stretches beyond belief, you can feel and see that little baby moving long before it enters the world............but why is it not enough? It is OK to have stretch marks.... It is Ok to have that roundness.... It is Ok not to have the body of a teenager when you are past that time...... It is all Ok. And yes, some women can have what you may think of having it all........but it's not your reality, it's theirs, not yours. You are special... You are unique... You are you.... So it is Ok to love that "old body " of yours, because it has served you well, and given you great joy along the way...

11.01.2022 Well good morning all, Last night my granddaughter asked me to join her to ....."Do a marathon in October "..to walk 42km in the month, to raise money for the heart foundation Australia. How could I say no? she is in first year of uni doing her Bachelor in Nursing and realises how important heart health is.... We all have a heart, it never stops working, it spends its days pumping along, just doing its thing, but how often do you think about it, and how well it is doing? You probably never give it a second thought.....that is until something goes wrong. Most of us are lucky enough to have a healthy heart, but some not so. You may have congenital heart disease, or you may be experiencing other cardiac issues. No matter what the concern is, heart disease effects many Australians, it may be you, or someone you love. I know that we are all asked to donate money everyday for one cause or another, and here I am asking you to donate again.........but please every dollar counts, it all helps, heart health knowledge and your well being depends on it. Thank you..

08.01.2022 Just in case you have gotten a little complacent about Covid.....

08.01.2022 Today is R U OK Day and World Suicide Prevention Day Two very important events very close to our hearts If you are needing support please remember you can ... Check in with a loved one, See your GP Book in with a counsellor Or call lifeline on 13 11 14

06.01.2022 Too often you may feel like you dont belong.....that your different from the rest of your family......theres nothing wrong with that. Stand up....be strong...because there is nothing wrong with being different. You are special... You are unique You are who you are....

06.01.2022 Goodmorning....just a little reminder,

05.01.2022 If you have ever heard that someone has suffered an anxiety or panic attack, but dont really understand it, it is not easy for them, they do not plan nor want to feel that way. They do not want your sympathy or advice, just let them know that you are there for them. Their struggle is real and here at my clinic I have witnessed throughout this time of change, it is the perceived strong ones, that have suffered also, many for the first time.... If this is you, please dont be too hard on yourself, just breathe and know that we are all only human, and do the best we can with each moment.

05.01.2022 The world as we know it has changed, but we can and will adapt. The things that we took for granted may just need to be altered or adjusted, but if we all do the best we can it is all we can ask. To help keep you as safe as I can, I have registered as a Covid safe business, but what does that mean to you?.....it means that as a practitioner I have applied strict safety procedure to how my clinic operates . On arrival I will ask you some questions on your current health stati...s and whether or not you have been in contact with a confirmed case of Covid 19. I will then take your temperature and ask you to you hand sanitizer before we enter the consulting room. During your massage I will be wearing a single use face mask as it is impossible to keep the social distance, there are face masks available for you to use if you wish. As always a thorough cleaning is conducted between each client. May aim is to provide you with safe environment and give you the confidence in knowing that your health and safety is my primary concern. As always....take care

01.01.2022 PUBLIC HEALTH ALERT HNE Health has advised that viral fragments of COVID-19 have been detected in a recent sample from the Burwood Beach sewage treatment pl...ant. The sample was taken as part of a NSW Health research program to test sewage for traces of COVID-19 to support the public health response to the pandemic. Sampling has commenced at a number of regional locations across NSW. The positive sewage result means that someone who has been infected is shedding the virus. Infected peoples stools may contain viral fragments, and shedding can extend for several weeks beyond the persons infectious period. With recent cases of COVID-19 identified in this wastewater catchment, which includes the Newcastle City area and surrounding suburbs of Dudley, Charlestown, Jesmond, Mayfield and Carrington, its really important that anyone with symptoms in these communities gets tested. Below is a list of clinics where you can be tested. https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectio//Pages/clinics.aspx
