24.01.2022 A long time between updates! Sorry! I've been so busy. I'm currently in Bathurst completing my practical components of exercise testing and prescription for cardiac, pulmonary, metabolic and renal conditions as well as for cancer patients. ... This photo is of a maximal stress test for detecting abnormalities in the heart. This test can tell us alot of information about how the heart is working and if there are any concerns for follow-up testing. It can also give us a very accurate gauge of where your fitness is at (although isn't used for fitness in a clinical space) I am still writing programs who those who require them while I'm away :) (current clients only, must have already had an initial consult as a minimum) I hope everyone has a great week!

23.01.2022 Straight distinctions for my masters for the semester just announced! (Both exams and overall) And submitting my final case study for my eating disorder study today. So close to the end... but still so much work to put in to get there ... Celebrating each little win (autocorrected to wine , coincidence?) As I go. Big goals take alot of little ones along the way and I'm almost there

22.01.2022 Matching set I'm so excited to use these skills and so grateful I was given the opportunity to study in this field

20.01.2022 What's really going on when someone has an eating disorder? It's almost always more complex than it looks. I can't wait to start sharing what I've been working away on behind the scenes

18.01.2022 Finishing off my eating disorder course this weekend! So excited to get this ticked off! Adding more evidence based services ... This course will allow me to work with people with overeating disorders such as binge eating and bulimia nervosa as well as under eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa. Such important work I am very excited and grateful to be able to do

17.01.2022 This is a long video but it is well worth your time if you have an interest in how eating disorders impact peoples lives.. While I am away completing my Masters in Clinical Exercise Physiology, I am also completing some study on counselling specifically for people experiencing Eating Disorders. Those who have known me for a long time would know that I have lived with ED in the past and know first hand how hard recovery and recurrence can be. This study has been amazing for m...e to delve deeper into the psychological side of Eating Disorders and strategies to help people reach recovery. As an Exercise Physiologist I will be working holistically with a range of healthy populations and chronic conditions, including some aspects of mental health. I can't wait to add Eating Disorders to my list of what I can offer.

14.01.2022 Today I officially resigned from my role in the gym. It wasn't an easy choice. The staff and the members have been nothing short of amazing and I wish them all the very best. I've very much loved working with every single client. I do have a new direction coming soon, although I can't share anything yet. But I'm very very excited for the amazing opportunities I have been offered. ... I will share more as I can, but for now I'm taking the road of new beginnings and chasing dreams after 7 years of continuous study. I'll still be around the gym occasionally so please don't be scared to still say hi

13.01.2022 Monkey see monkey do Mind the mum voice

11.01.2022 Journal Prompt Write in your journal; I love my body for..... And answer with everything that you love about your body, think about what it does for you each day.

11.01.2022 Update for programs: I'll be starting to write programs again as of next week If you'd like yours updated, send me a message! ... Thankyou for your patience over exams I'm going for a much needed weekend away this weekend with the family and spending my few days off with my 15 month old I will reply to messages mid to late next week

06.01.2022 My heart goes out to all of the local gym owners who have worked so hard this year despite all of the curve balls. I've had a few people ask if my placement has been delayed/postponed. At this stage I am able to continue as I am in a clinical area (which is deemed essential). I am still doing programs for existing clients only, there are no changes there. ... Hopefully this is only a short shut down and everything will be under control soon.

05.01.2022 Masters Exams done! Placement to go

03.01.2022 1 of 3 new qualifications to come over the next few months. A little bit of good news on an otherwise gloomy news week for anyone local to SA. Most of my clients and friends will know how passionate I am about eating disorders, body image, diets and disordered eating. I now have certification to practice in this area. ... This won't be starting until 2021 due to my current commitment to my Masters degree. I will announce more when I can... but study is complete

01.01.2022 Exercise Physiologists can play a key role in supporting those with cancer. Yet - funding does not match the importance. In Australia, people who have had a heart attack can join a six-week rehabilitation program, including exercise training, through the public hospital system. But if you have a chronic health condition, including cancer, Medicare subsidises just five sessions with an exercise physiologist as part of a chronic health care plan from your GP.... It's time for this to be changed.
