25.01.2022 The woman who can’t make time for herself will never be truly happy. She will love her children. She will love you. She will smile and be pleasant and do every...thing in her power to make the world a better place for everyone else. But she will never truly be happy. And that’s because she won’t be happy with herself. That time she snapped at the kids and you thought nothing of it. It ate at her soul that night while she went to sleep. The time she missed that gym class because of everyone else. It wasn’t about the exercise. It was about her recharging for the week. The time she quickly ducked to she shops to get something... she would have loved to stop and do her nails; but didn’t want to leave you to deal with a sick kid on your own. So she rushed straight back even though you didn’t need it. It’s important to remember to give her time. She won’t always give it to herself. She won’t always recognise that she needs it. She won’t even always have a plan for the time. But she will appreciate it. She won’t need much. She won’t waste it. And she will certainly come back feeling a million times better about herself. So when she needs to duck out. Tell her not to rush back. When she has that coffee date or gym class. Be home and remind her to leave with time to spare so she’s not rushed. When she breaks a nail or comments about her regrowth; remind her to book in her next appointment. And in that moment she’s been away for a while and you know she’s thinking about the family again... send her a text reminding her not to rush back and to go and take more time. Do that... you won’t need to do much more. But do that and she will not only love you more. But she’ll love herself more. And that’s all you could ever want. Don’t let time get in the way of her loving herself. Because when she stops; the whole world stops.
24.01.2022 I went through my phone and reminded myself of all the adventures, the highs and lows, and moments we’ve had over the past 6 months with the kids. So many memor...able moments with these three, can’t really grasp how much they’ve grown and how much time we’ve spent together due to them being out of school because of Covid. And in a few days they are going back to school and I’d be a liar if I didn’t admit that I’ve got mixed emotions about it. A bit scared, kinda sad, and totally delighted all at once. It’s funny, but as a parent you start separating from your child gradually every day from the day they are born. The process is slow and so it feels natural and organic. Personally I feel like I’ve regressed. That after months of having them with me every day all day, I have forgotten how to let go and it’s almost as if they are toddlers again and we are all a few days before their very first day at nursery. And in all of that, I have also realised that I am feeling a lot of anxiety which is something new to me. I won’t bore you but it hit me when we were away and I could not bare the thought of my kids sleeping on bunk beds in case they would collapse of their heads. Not my finest moment I know and I hope you won’t judge me, but I think it’s understandable after months of being safe indoors and also having the most mundane every day things (like taking a taxi or hugging a friend) suddenly labelled as daingerous. Driving out of town and staying in a hotel felt as risky as trekking in Nepal and it took me a few days to really relax. I wish I had some tips to offer but I don’t. Just a little - if you feel the same, you’re not alone. I am sure many people are struggling with anxiety now more than ever so I just wanted to say it out loud in case anyone needed to hear it. And don’t worry, I’ll be back to complaining about the little monsters soon enough and I know we all need them to go back to school already, but today, at this very moment, I’ve got a lump in my throat. And if you do too - please know that’s it’s okay. Sending love to you all wherever you are, and good luck on your first day back at school! Tova x #backtoschool #covid19 #love See more
23.01.2022 Hello everyone, Please take a moment to read my post below. Nothing has changed from my perspective with respect private clients, other than some general questions around your wellbeing and that of bub.... Upon arrival to your home, I will ask to use your bathroom to wash my hands before we begin. I am yet to source some hand sanitiser! Cheers Marija
22.01.2022 My heart just burst with love for this
18.01.2022 Hi All, Motherhood in general can feel somewhat isolating, particularly in those newborn weeks. Given there are no opportunities for mothers group, catch ups with our friends at the moment, isolation can feel like a heavy burden. If you know a mum out there who needs more support, please sure this page with her. I've Summer is just a gorgeous human being and loves to take care of all mums out there.... Lets get here page out there! Cheers Marija

13.01.2022 Being a good mom doesn't mean always wanting to be with your child. Being a good mom doesn't mean feeling rainbows and unicorns the millionth time they've s...aid mom in a day. Being a good mom doesn't mean you need to be on and hyper-focused on your child 24/7. Being a good mom doesn't mean that you are only allowed to experience positive emotions towards your child. You are allowed to need a break. You are allowed to struggle or feel touched out. It's not because you're a bad mom or don't like your kids. It's because you're human. You need a break. You need to recharge and fill your tank. We need to shift the idea that a good mom always puts her children first, to the belief that a good mom prioritizes both her and her children's needs. Happy Friday mamas! Keep up imperfectly perfect See more
13.01.2022 Hi Everyone, Its been quite some time since I've been on this page! With temporarily having to shut down and home schooling, I've been given the fortunate opportunity to revamp my entire business.... Yes I will still be offering Infant Massage Courses. Its my life's purpose to get as many parents and caregivers onboard with offering their babies and children massage. Why? More to come on posts to follow. Stay tuned and keep safe.. x

09.01.2022 Hey Everyone, I feel that one of the greatest aspects of working with parents around infant massage is taking care of the parent. As I mostly work with mums, the biggest factor that comes in to play is lack of time to look after their own well being. My primary concern for them is their mental health. If they are in a great head space, great but like anything with parenthood, it can throw us some curve balls and when that does happen, our mental health can be affected.... What has come out working with these mums is teaching them simple mindfulness techniques and if time is permitted, I have been offering them guided meditations. Bub will either sit on their lap (if they are able to) or lay on the floor and I begin the guided meditation with them. The first thing I've noticed as mum begins to settle in is how bub reacts to her. Bub may begin to fuss as mum finds a way to settle herself first. As mum begins to relax through focused breathing, bub settles and relaxes even more. If you'd like to experience a Guided Meditation, I am offering a FREE session for this week only. We do not need face to face contact, it can be conducted via zoom/facetime. If you'd like to know more, send me a message on here or give me a call on 0403 237 302. Cheers x
09.01.2022 The trouble is that waiting for development to occur can be bothersome for us big people raising children in a fast-paced world. We try to hurry development alo...ng rather than championing it at every point along the way. But children are not small adults, and we cannot force them into adulthood. We must respect that children are growing a brain at the rate of billions of neural connections a day. That level of growth will need to continue for years before they have any natural ability to manage their impulses and make good choices with some semblance of consistency. - an excerpt from my latest book, Parenting Right From The Start.

08.01.2022 As a mum who had a baby via c-section unexpectedly, I can relate to this wholeheartedly. Regardless of whether you chose a c-section or not, it does not matter! Our body, our choice!
08.01.2022 Today I completed the govt’s online training around infection control to do with covid-19. During my time at college in training to become a massage therapist,... infection control was a huge study unit to cover prior to getting my certification. You don’t get one unless you pass it! Keep an eye on upcoming posts regarding what I will be putting in place prior to seeing clients
07.01.2022 Bless this moment!

05.01.2022 Our feelings mean something. They communicate a need that’s often overlooked and ignored. When we let these feelings build without tending to the need, we give ...rise to bigger feelings. I understand that each of our feelings communicate different needs in different circumstances, but there is hope in exploring what that need is. Whether it’s a personal need we can fulfill or something we need from someone else that’s causing resentment. Allow yourself to be curious. Explore what you need in the moment to improve the way you feel. Write down one commitment to yourself to repair an undesirable feeling. What will you do today to move in the right direction?
03.01.2022 I had a very specific event not too long ago that left me on the verge of breakdown. It seemed so silly, but it felt like I was receiving every bit of sensory i...nformation in the room. I was cooking while I had my son watch a cartoon, the oven fan was going, he kept running up to Alexa and requesting songs, my husband walked in to ask me a question, and I was sure I was going to lose it. Immediately, I shouted like my life depended on it please, turn that down...turn it off. This is not the only case of sensory overload I’ve experienced. I’ve noticed it more and more as I’ve become a mother. I’ve swapped silent car rides for car rides entertained by Blippi’s top musical performances, snack requests, and what feels like 100 questions. Some days I take it all in stride, and others I feel like I’m drowning in sensory input. Given how much I’ve noticed sensory overload in my life since becoming a mother, I thought it would be a great opportunity to discuss this week. Have you experienced this? Share with me
02.01.2022 Hi Everyone, I've been given the all clear to be in a position to offer infant massage courses from 15 June next. I can respect that parents out there are hesitant to do a courses, however rest assured the health of bub, yourself and myself are the most important aspects to take care of first and foremost.... If you'd like to have a chat to work out how we conduct a course, please do not hesitate to get in touch! Cheers & stay safe x
