25.01.2022 What a wonderful team of practitioners we have here at @Lotus to ease into 2021 You can look us up on https://lotuswellbeing.com.au/ bookings 42264740 or book online

25.01.2022 Hi everyone I've been living with chronic pain for a very long time, but I have found so many ways to minimise its impact on my life and live a life of happiness, joyfulness and (relative) freedom. For the last ten years, I have dedicated myself to learning all that I can about chronic pain and how to manage and overcome it. ... I now offer bodywork treatments and consultations based on the latest scientific insights into chronic pain, as well as drawing on the ancient wisdom of several important healing modalities. I'm based at Lotus in Wollongong, and I would love to help you or any of your friends, colleagues or family to learn how to best manage and overcome ongoing pain. Please message me if you would like more information or book an appointment with me at lotuswellbeing.com.au. You have nothing to lose, and so much to gain. Warmly Rebecca

25.01.2022 Merry Christmas to our gorgeous Kara

24.01.2022 Did you know that dry needling can alleviate muscular pain and tension, release trigger points and tight spots in muscles, improve range of motion and accelerate healing and recovery time from injury or strenuous exercise? This technique achieves great results for many clients, quickly and generally painlessly. Rebecca uses top quality single use sterile acupuncture needles for dry needling, combined with massage and myofascial release to achieve optimum results. Curious? S...he has appointments available this week at Lotus: Tuesday 15th 10am and 11.15am Wednesday 16th 11.15am and 12.30pm Saturday 19th 10am, 11.15am and 3.45pm

13.01.2022 "You have all the answers within you, use your powers for good!" Not sure if this was Jude Dowsett at Lotus who said this or the Good Witch of the East?? However, we thankfully have Jude at Lotus here on Thursdays and Saturdays for more insights and wise words

11.01.2022 Did you know that Myofascial trigger points are a common cause of pain and dysfunction in the human body? Trigger points can occur in muscles, tendons and fascia due to sudden unexpected movement, holding prolonged positions (eg sitting at a desk all day), postural dysfunction, as a consequence of injury or illness, or as a result of vitamin deficiency, sleep deprivation or joint dysfunction (for example osteo-arthritis). Trigger points can produce a range of symptoms includ...ing pain, stiffness and loss of range of motion in the arms, legs, spine, torso, hands and feet, headaches, tinnitus, mood disturbance, anxiety, dizziness, nausea, heartburn and fibromyalgia. Left untreated, the symptoms arising from trigger points generally worsen over time and may result in the formation of additional trigger points throughout the body. Trigger points need to be released directly using special techniques; routine massage, chiropractic treatment, osteopathy or physiotherapy may provide short term symptomatic relief but will not address the cause of your pain and dysfunction. Rebecca is always inspired by the results she can achieve for her clients by deactivating and resolving their trigger points. Many of them tell her they have seen doctors, physios, osteos and chiros for their pain but "nothing has worked" ~ until they come in to Lotus and have their trigger points released, removing the root cause of their pain and dysfunction. So if you have ongoing, treatment resistant pain or dysfunction, or if you simply want to keep your body healthy and free of trigger points, please book in with Rebecca ~ she is available Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

09.01.2022 Always Was, Always Will Be. Always Was, Always Will Be. recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. We are spiritually and culturally connected to this country.... This country was criss-crossed by generations of brilliant Nations. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were Australia’s first explorers, first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, first astronomers and first artists. Australia has the world’s oldest oral stories. The First Peoples engraved the world’s first maps, made the earliest paintings of ceremony and invented unique technologies. We built and engineered structures - structures on Earth - predating well-known sites such as the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge. Our adaptation and intimate knowledge of Country enabled us to endure climate change, catastrophic droughts and rising sea levels. Always Was, Always Will Be. acknowledges that hundreds of Nations and our cultures covered this continent. All were managing the land - the biggest estate on earth - to sustainably provide for their future. Through ingenious land management systems like fire stick farming we transformed the harshest habitable continent into a land of bounty. NAIDOC Week 2020 acknowledges and celebrates that our nation’s story didn’t begin with documented European contact whether in 1770 or 1606 - with the arrival of the Dutch on the western coast of the Cape York Peninsula. The very first footprints on this continent were those belonging to First Nations peoples. Our coastal Nations watched and interacted with at least 36 contacts made by Europeans prior to 1770. Many of them resulting in the charting of the northern, western and southern coastlines of our lands and our waters. For us, this nation’s story began at the dawn of time. NAIDOC 2020 invites all Australians to embrace the true history of this country a history which dates back thousands of generations. It’s about seeing, hearing and learning the First Nations’ 65,000+ year history of this country - which is Australian history. We want all Australians to celebrate that we have the oldest continuing cultures on the planet and to recognise that our sovereignty was never ceded. Always Was, Always Will Be.

09.01.2022 Due to a cancellation, Rebecca has ONE appointment available tomorrow (Saturday) at 3.45pm. Please ring us on 4226 4740 or book online via our website if you would like it :)

07.01.2022 Feeling stressed? Don't let it have a long term impact on your health, take action today to shift it out of your body and clear your mind. We have a range of modalities that can help you - naturopathy, massage, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, energy healing, biocraniosacral therapy, life coaching and kinesiology.

06.01.2022 Hi everyone, Rebecca here. Too often, people believe that massage needs to be painful in order to be effective, and question the benefits of a more gentle approach. In fact, working too deeply too quickly triggers the body's protective mechanisms, and the body responds by bracing to protect itself against further onslaught. At the same time, it will release endorphins, so that people who experience overly firm massage may (temporarily) feel better - until they realise that t...he underlying condition has not improved. In contrast, a gentle and gradual approach, and one which invites the body to soften and release rather than attempting to forcefully overcome barriers, will have deep, long lasting effects and produce ongoing positive changes within the body and the mind. You still get the endorphins, plus a nice boost of oxytocin as well, as this is the body's natural response to gentle therapeutic touch. If this sounds like something you need, please book in with me at Lotus. Appointments are available every day except Thursday and Sunday, and private health rebates are available for those with cover. Bookings can be made via the lotus website (lotuswellbeing.com.au), or by phoning Lotus on 4226 4740 and asking for an appointment with Rebecca.

06.01.2022 This years i98fm Illawarra Convoy is #convoyathome This charity is amazing, I have been a recipient of their generosity when I went through my own cancer story last year. I know other families have benefitted immensely and it's made all the difference to the 'battle' these families face. Get behind them on Sunday, listen to the radio, watch them on WIN TV and visit the Albion Park merchandise shop to support them.

04.01.2022 We've nearly made it through 2020. Some of us have struggled, some of us have flourished, many of us have taken the time to rethink important elements of our lives and make changes to ensure that we focus on what matters most, and spend less time worrying about 'what ifs?' If you have struggled this year, please know you are not alone. Please reach out, seek support, make connections. Simple strategies such as maintaining a daily routine, ensuring that you eat well, staying h...ydrated, getting out each day for some fresh air and sunshine and staying in contact with friends and family can help you build resilience. Be gentle with yourself, take time each day to do something you enjoy, prioritise your own self care. Know that you can switch off for an hour or two and the world will keep on turning, just as it always has done. And if you decide you need support from any of our wonderful team, please know that we are here for you, to help you thrive and flourish as we all adapt to a changed and changing world :)

03.01.2022 Are you experiencing pain, restriction of movement, general feelings of fatigue, wandering aching sensations that seem to travel about the body, or are you looking to release trauma from all layers of your being? Myofascial release might be just what you need. Fascia is a web of connective tissue that runs throughout the body from head to the toe, wrapping around your organs, muscles, blood vessels and glands. When healthy, fascia helps create a mobile, flexible and resilien...t body. However, poor posture, repetitive motions, trauma, stress and inflammation can lead to restrictions in the fascia, placing undesirable pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels and bones. These restrictions then create aches and pains, muscle fatigue and tension. They can limit your movement, distort your posture, drain your energy and lead to dysfunctional compensation patterns in the body, including using muscles for actions they are not designed for. There is also a growing body of research confirming that stress, emotions and trauma (physical, mental or emotional) can be stored in the fascia, particularly in situations where the body is forced into fight or flight mode. This stress can be held in the body for many years, creating a variety of physical, mental and emotional symptoms and often, extensive testing fails to find the cause of pain and dysfunction. Myofascial release is a gentle technique involving the sustained application of light to moderate pressure in areas of fascial restriction. Some people find an immediate release and restoration of function, others may need a series of treatments to obtain a full result. Curious? Book an appointment with our myofascial release specialist, Rebecca, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Saturdays, and see for yourself how effective this work can be. https://www.youtube.com/watch

02.01.2022 It's easy to get caught up in the busy-ness of Christmas and lose sight of what really matters. If you are feeling stressed or pressured by having to do it all, please take a few moments out to breathe, feel into your body, let go of the tension and remember that the presence you bring to each occasion is all that really matters. We have compiled a few suggestions to help you incorporate self care into Christmas this year and stay healthy, sane and balanced over the silly se...ason - please feel free to add your own in the comments. 1. Stay hydrated! That way, if you do happen to over-indulge, your body will be able to return to balance much more easily. 2. Keep moving - find ways to incorporate regular gentle exercise into your days, even if your exercise regime goes out the window. Try a walk out in nature or around your area to take in the Christmas lights, head down to the beach for a swim, give yourself the gift of a gentle yoga practice or whatever else works for you. This will help to keep your mind clear, your blood flowing and your energy moving. 3. Ensure you get adequate sleep. 4. Listen to your body - rest, breathe, take a break when you need to. You don't have to do everything or be everything to all people. Don't neglect your own needs or your own health and wellbeing, especially at this time of the year. 5. Prioritise! Accept that you can't do everything, so work out what really matters and focus on that. 6. Set appropriate boundaries - with work, with family, with friends. Make sure you have time and energy for the things you really want to do, rather than simply serving everyone else's needs. 7. Remember that your presence is the greatest gift you can ever give. In the words of Maya Angelou, 'people may forget what you say, people may forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel'
