18.01.2022 A nice little chart to help you differentiate a cold/flu/covid. In the meantime I would recommend you eat well, keep exercising, practice self care and stress reducing strategies. If you would like to discuss a wellness plan or need someone to keep you on track with any of the above feel free to contact me

17.01.2022 Geez it's early!! Got up at 5.30 AM for a UK webinar - The Better Clinician Project : Online Consultations. After finishing up at 11pm last night with another great webinar I wonder if I can have a nap today while homeschooling... #Betterclinicianproject... #ProfessionalDevelopment #Excited #Tired See more

17.01.2022 Not sure where the filter for hiding pimples is, but black and white helps ... Anyway, thought I would jump into your news feed briefly to check in on those of us feeling a little tension creeping into the neck & shoulders...and remind you all of my favourite 3 practices to turn down the volume on stress induced tension. 1 - Breathe!! Use your diapragm, make ur belly expand. Take some time to slow down your breath and do this for at least 2 mins. If you can sit and bre...athe for longer please do. If you are in the habit of holding yourself in a fight flight freeze posture, over time this starts to HURT. 2 - Stretch!! Find an online yoga instructor if you need inspiration and guidance. Or if I have given you stretching homework in the past - Do it https://youtu.be/X3-gKPNyrTA - Yoga with Adriene has a 10, 17 and 25 min neck and shoulder love routine. 3 - Sit with your tension and ask it some questions. This sounds weird yeah?! But maybe your "feelings" are trying to direct you? I have thanked my anxiety this week for helping me take stock of where I am at, for helping me formulate a plan and for reminding me that self care is essential. If you want to know why I recommend these 3 practices feel free to get in touch and I will regal you with my nerdy science based stories. Otherwise peace out for now #peace #belgrave #healthyminds

16.01.2022 PPE masks are so cool available for free at my front door...Alongside the hand sanitizer and the scent of copious cleaning products. Come on in and try your new treatment look... #covid19 #PPE #learnfromhomeagain please god no...

14.01.2022 After careful consideration i have decided to pause the clinic for a week. Officially we are allowed to continue but i feel this move is the most socially responsible and my contribution to "flattening the curve". In this time i will be keeping up to date with medical advice and should i be allowed to continue work, putting in place procedures to keep everyone as safe as possible. When i know more i will post again. In the meantime please call if you need any advice or self treatment ideas Keeping active, eating well, finding some joy each day and practicing gratitude (even in tough times) are my homework for you this week... stay well lovelies

08.01.2022 Part One Once upon a time I treated for coins and ice creams. I was always the cashed up kid!! My cubby house was NOT a place to play Mums and Dads, it had a "treatment" table, towels and oils!!! On every camping trip wonderful people like my Dad and Uncle Peter encouraged me to practice as much as possible They planted the seeds of manual medicine that lead to me discovering osteopathy.

08.01.2022 A letter to my wonderful clinic community regarding Covid 19 I hope you are all well and keeping things in perspective. Remember the media loves this stuff!! So keep abreast but find a balance.... At this stage my CALM little clinic is OPEN and I am keeping up to date with the latest advice. I ask that any patient exhibiting cold or flu like symptoms reschedule their appointments. Patients that have travelled overseas please delay making appointments for 14 days upon arriva...l back into Australia. Cancellation Fees will not be enforced (like I ever enforce them anyway ) As a low traffic clinic I want you all to know that I take your health very seriously and I have taken immediate and proactive steps to ensure a healthy environment so we can all do our part to flatten the curve. This includes increased sanitation of all surfaces and linen. For your piece of mind I ask that we work together to undertake the following additional measures to ensure a healthy environment * Please remove shoes outside and use the Hand sanitiser available * Please wait in your car instead of the waiting room and I will come out to enthusiastically greet you with a bottle of hand sanitiser LOL. #stayinghealthy #covid19 #cleanlinessisnexttogodliness

08.01.2022 Part Two Fast forward a few decades and I STILL get to treat Uncle Peter!! I get to "play" in the clinic everyday and lately, with covid slowing things down... I have had extra time to continue my studies on Pain Education, Sleep Health and Habit Formation.... Unfortunately for Uncle Peter he no longer pays in ice creams and with masks, extra time required between patients plus rising insurance costs I have recently put the consultation fee up again... Concession rates available always for DVA/Students/Seniors... Initial appointments - $95 Return appointments - $90 A huge thank you to all my wonderful patients for allowing me to provide support, balance life with kids and continue to play in my clinic most days!!! I really do love this work

07.01.2022 Getting ready to re- open as safely as possible! Stay tuned for details...

06.01.2022 Hello Lovelies I wanted check in and let you know your on my mind. I miss being in the clinic, seeing all your freindly faces and hearing about what's happening in your world. I wonder how you are. I wonder how things have changed for you. Are you happy with your daily routine? How are your stress levels? Did you burst into hyper- productive mode then realise that was probably not a sustainable pace like me or is Netflix and getting cosy more your style? ... What's working for you at the moment? What's not?? Life is pretty good here so far. Along with settling the kids into a new routine, psyching myself up for thier "learn from home" schooling and finding ways to burn ALL THIER ENERGY I have been enjoying quiet time in the clinic and delving into some seriously cool professional development!! I can't wait to share with you all the things I am learning and integrating into a consultatio It may be a little while until I can see you in person again so until then let's stay healthy and practice caring for ourselves and our loved ones well!! And in the meantime... Do you need some help setting up and sticking with healthy daily habits? Are you ready to try a taliored exercise plan & give that niggle something productive to do? Wondering how stress and poor sleep can amplify the pain experience? Want to learn some techniques to alieviate this? Ready to learn how to treat yourself? If the answer is YES stayed tuned over the coming weeks for some helpful resources you can use from home. PS - If u are having a hard day or a freak out I'm here! Give me a call. I will happily direct my kids in front of the screens, make a cuppa and sit down to chat with you! #stayingwell #mentalhealth #slowingdown
