24.01.2022 Today’s Therapy Room I met one of my clients for a beach walk today where we discussed some long-standing difficulties she’s had around eating and body image. To gain a greater understanding, we looked at potential underlying reasons for this and came up with some small steps she can start to take that will help her work through it - In each of my sessions I try to make sure my clients have small strategies that they can use for the short-term as well as targeting the u...nderlying issues that are going to lead to lasting changes. - #womenswellness #womenshealth #wellness #wellbeing #holistichealth #mentalhealth #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #lifestyle #holistic #therapy #therapist #empowerment #selfcare #goldcoast #selflove #naturaltherapy #naturalwellness #holisticliving #holisticwellness #coach #holistictherapy #vulnerability #intuitiveeating #reflection #mentalhealthot #mindbodyconnection #goalsetting #mindset #psychology
23.01.2022 Who here thinks that therapy involves sitting on a couch in a room with a stranger and telling them your deepest, darkest thoughts, only for them to then tell you how to breathe? Well, that’s definitely the experience that some people have when seeing a therapist, but not here at @riseandrefine ! Human beings are doers. Fact. We have an innate need to engage in occupations. These occupations fulfil our need to not only survive, but to flourish as individuals. So why j...ust sit there in therapy and talk about what you’re going to do? Why not actually do it, and use that as the tool to sort out whatever is going on in your mind? This doesn’t mean we won’t delve deep, we will, but only if/when you’re ready. At @riseandrefine we find out what makes you tick , what you’re passionate about , or what you used to enjoy and we incorporate that into your sessions. Using activities (or meaningful occupations) in therapy is the perfect way to help you feel comfortable, to make your therapy more meaningful, fun and engaging, and more likely to be effective in the longer term. Feeling super nervous but you like being creative? Well good, because so do we. We’ll whip out some art supplies and have a good old chinwag about what you want to work on. Want to improve your overall health but lacking the motivation to get your body moving? Let’s go on a bush walk and work out what’s getting in the way of you improving your lifestyle, and whilst we’re at it, we’ll set some realistic and achievable goals. Therapy doesn’t have to be scary or a chore, or something you only do once you’re sick. It should be something we all do, all the time. It’s as essential as drinking 8 glasses of water a day, brushing your pearly whites , or eating dark chocolate . You owe it to yourself (and those you love) to be the best possible version of yourself. #wellness #holistichealth #mentalhealth #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #lifestyle #therapy #therapist #empowerment #selfcare #goldcoast #naturaltherapy #naturalwellness #holisticliving #holisticwellness #holistictherapy #personaldevelopment #mindset #arttherapy #creativetherapy See more
23.01.2022 P A T I E N C E NOT PERFECTION Just a little Sunday morning reminder to be kind to yourself. Making changes to your life, your habits, and your relationships can be hard. Long and lasting changes don’t require perfection, they require patience and self-love.

22.01.2022 Hope you’re all enjoying a lovely weekend.

21.01.2022 V U L N E R A B I L I T Y. It’s something most of us struggle with, yet if we can learn to embrace it, demonstrate it, and perhaps even celebrate it, we will live much more authentic and dare I say happier lives. - Below is a favourite quote of mine from @brenebrown’s Ted Talk The Power of Vulnerability. An oldie, but a goodie. I highly recommend giving it a watch . - Well, I have a vulnerability issue. And I know that vulnerability is the core of shame and fear and our s...truggle for worthiness, but it appears that it's also the birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, of love. - #womenswellness #womenshealth #quote #wellness #wellbeing #holistichealth #mentalhealth #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #lifestyle #holistic #therapy #therapist #empowerment #selfcare #goldcoast #selflove #naturaltherapy #naturalwellness #holisticliving #holisticwellness #holistictherapy #vulnerability #authenticity #mindbodyconnection #goalsetting #betteryourself #personaldevelopment #mindset See more
21.01.2022 SELF CARE (art by @madelinekate_illustrates ) Don’t get me wrong, doing things like getting a massage, having a spa-bath, and watching a movie are all great ways to engage in self-care. I am a massage addict . They give you time to yourself, make you feel better physically, and help you to relax, but these benefits are often short-lived. They don’t go far enough to address the underlying issues in order to create lasting changes. - I’m talking about all of this because toda...y is International Self Care Day - which, like Valentine’s Day has probably just been invented as a way to get you to buy yourself a scented candle, or pay for a day at the spa. - I listened to a @waterpeoplepodcast recently and it finally gave me the words to articulate what I’m really trying to achieve through Rise & Refine. I wholeheartedly believe that the best way someone can engage in self-care is for them to invest in developing their neuro-literacy. What does this mean, you ask! Well, when we have good neuro-literacy, we have an in-depth understand of our own brain and how it works. We understand the science behind our emotions, we understand our neurochemistry, and most importantly we understand it better than anyone else. As a result we are more likely to make healthier decisions for ourselves, we’re going to have healthier and happier relationships and most importantly we’ll raise happier and healthier children either now or in the future. - As individuals, we owe it to ourselves to take responsibility and understand the root of our actions and get to the core of who we really are. For some, this might seem a daunting process, and that’s why it can be helpful to have someone to guide you along the way. To challenge you to dig deeper, to hold space and provide comfort when it feels overwhelming, and to give you a high-five when you make a breakthrough. It’s an investment in yourself and your future that will last a lifetime. - #womenswellness #womenshealth #wellness #wellbeing #holistichealth #mentalhealth #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #lifestyle #holistic #therapy #therapist #empowerment #selfcare #goldcoast #selflove See more
21.01.2022 ...It’s also what you attract and manifest more of. Be mindful of the power of your beliefs and their power: over your life. If I asked you to name which core beliefs influence your day to day life the most, you’d probably find that a pretty hard task. They’re so deeply ingrained in us, so implicit, that we don’t often know what they are, yet they dictate so much of what happens in our life. Being able to identify what these beliefs are and how they influence you is one of the first steps you can take in refining your life.
19.01.2022 A gentle reminder that we don’t have to live in a world where everything is either/or. - Realistically, the situations we find ourselves in and how we feel is usually more both/and. - Sure, this way of thinking is not as simple or black & white, but us humans are complex creatures and that’s where our beauty lies.... - Try shifting your perspective this weekend to both/and and notice the difference in how you feel - #womenswellness #womenshealth #quote #wellness #wellbeing #holistichealth #mentalhealth #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #lifestyle #holistic #therapy #therapist #empowerment #selfcare #goldcoast #selflove #palmbeachgc #naturaltherapy #naturalwellness #holisticliving #holisticwellness #holistictherapy #mindbodyconnection #goalsetting #betteryourself #personaldevelopment #mindset See more

17.01.2022 S C I S S O R S A Pilates classic but one I find tricky to do properly as I move up the levels! 10 reps for each level gets me burning - These are perfect for strengthening our lower abs and increasing control through our hips. -... Key things to keep an eye on: -maintain your neutral spine -don’t let those lower ribs flare -keep those hips nice and steady -try not to let those abs dome This video is sped up for the gram so make sure you take it nice and slow and controlled instead See more
16.01.2022 S U C C E S S. What’s your definition of success? What does it really mean to be successful? Often when setting our goals, or making life decisions, we base them on what’s going to help make us more successful. But when you actually stop and think about it, we so easily slip into making these decisions and plans based on what society has trained us to believe success is. It’s often not even a conscious thought process for us anymore. We’re basically hardwired these days to be...lieve that success is determined by our monetary wealth, our physical looks, our material possessions, our extravagant holidays, and the number of followers on our instagram account. - So I challenge you to stop and have a think about what success really means to you, as an individual. When you’re 85, kicking back in your rocking chair and reflecting on your life, what are you going to look back on as your most successful moments or achievements? Write them down, and stick them where you’re going to see them on the reg. Let them guide you in your decision making and goal setting, instead of the numbers you see in your bank account or on your social media profile. - #womenswellness #womenshealth #wellness #wellbeing #holistichealth #mentalhealth #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #holistic #therapy #therapist #empowerment #selfcare #goldcoast #selflove #naturaltherapy #naturalwellness #holisticliving #holisticwellness #coach #holistictherapy #success #wealth #reflection #mentalhealthot #mindbodyconnection #goalsetting #betteryourself #personaldevelopment #mindset from Pinterest See more
15.01.2022 One of the things I love most about the work I do is supporting women on their way to self love. It’s something so many of us struggle with, and gee wizz it can be hard work, but there is nothing more rewarding. Once you begin to love yourself, you start to see things falling into place in your life, almost like it’s magic . You treat yourself with respect, you nourish your body, and you surround yourself with kind and thoughtful humans . - #womenswellness #womenshealth #q...uote #wellness #wellbeing #holistichealth #mentalhealth #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #lifestyle #holistic #therapy #therapist #empowerment #selfcare #byronbay #selflove #naturaltherapy #naturalwellness #holisticliving #holisticwellness #holistictherapy #vulnerability #authenticity #mindbodyconnection #goalsetting #betteryourself #personaldevelopment #mindset #mentalhealthot See more
13.01.2022 You’ve gotta name it to tame it - Swipe across for a nice little tool to help us to better name how we’re feeling. - Why is naming your emotions so important? Well, research has shown that by naming those more difficult emotions, it can help us to take the power out of them and lessen the burden they may place on us. After all, we can’t change what we don’t notice. By shifting from I am sad, to I am feeling sad it helps our brain to realise that WE are not that emotio...n exclusively, and that the emotion is temporary. Being able to name how we’re feeling also helps us to communicate our needs to our loved ones, and make better decisions about how to act on that particular feeling. - This isn’t just for those emotions on the top half of the wheel though, it also works for those on the flip side. We’re so busy and distracted these days that we often forget to notice or embrace those positive emotions. Being able to notice when you’re feeling the good stuff, will help you to practice gratitude and better understand what it is that’s making you feel that way. Over time you’ll realise who, what, where, when and how those possy vibes work and eventually you’ll find yourself creating space and opportunities for them more and more often. Practicing mindfulness is one way to help us to notice our emotions more often. - #wellness #wellbeing #holistichealth #mentalhealth #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #lifestyle #holistic #therapy #therapist #empowerment #selfcare #goldcoast #selflove #palmbeachgc #naturaltherapy #naturalwellness #holisticliving #holisticwellness #holistictherapy #mindbodyconnection #goalsetting #betteryourself #personaldevelopment #mindset @ Gold Coast, Queensland See more
08.01.2022 I’ve recently made a pact with myself to jump in the sea every morning. Apart from loving having salty skin and hair, it’s helping to lift my spirits first thing and get me motivated to crack on with the day! There’s nothing quite like the healing power of Mother Nature. I’d love to know what morning rituals help to get you in the moooood - #sensorymodulation #naturetherapy #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #mothernature #morningritual #wellness #mindset #goldcoast #byronbay #bodypositive #selfcare
08.01.2022 ‘Good Women are Selfless’ I’ve written a blog about why the deeply ingrained societal belief that we need to be self-sacrificing in order to be seen as being a good woman is a load of absolute baloney. It’s also actually really bad for our mental health & wellness. - Head to https://www.riseandrefine.com/blog to have a read about my thoughts on this and also why being emotional doesn’t mean we’re ‘crazy’! -... #wellness #wellbeing #holistichealth #mentalhealth #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #lifestyle #holistic #therapy #therapist #empowerment #selfcare #goldcoast #selflove #palmbeachgc #naturaltherapy #naturalwellness #holisticliving #holisticwellness #holistictherapy #mindbodyconnection #goalsetting #betteryourself #personaldevelopment #mindset #womensupportingwomen #womenshealth #womenswellness #womenempowerment
07.01.2022 G O A L S E T T I N G Anyone else treating July 2nd like January 2nd (because let’s be honest, Jan 1st is usually a write-off for many reasons) in terms of setting some goals and intentions for the year ahead?! We’ve most definitely got a much better understanding now of what we’re dealing with in 2020 compared to what our adorable little naive brains were planning back at the start of the year . - Full disclosure here I had a mini-melt yesterday about where a ...few things in my life are at right now, which wasn’t so pleasant at the time, but definitely helped me to step back, re-evaluate things, and shift my perspective. With that came the need for me to set some new goals. So I thought I’d pass on some words of wisdom that might help you too! - First of all, when setting goals it’s important to identify (or revisit) your core values. We often skip this step and jump straight to the goal part, which often means our goals are guided by what we think we have to achieve, or by aiming for something that’s important to someone else! So, what is it about life that is most important to you? Values are your guiding principles that underpin your decision making each day and influence the way you interact with this beautiful world. - I’d love for you to have a little think and let me know one of yours in a comment below x - #womenswellness #womenshealth #quote #wellness #wellbeing #holistichealth #mentalhealth #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #lifestyle #holistic #therapy #therapist #empowerment #selfcare #goldcoast #goalsetting #values #corevalues

01.01.2022 Did you know that I’m an Endorsed Mental Health Occupational Therapist? - What do all those big words mean? Well, you’re able to claim your sessions with me on Medicare, just like you would do to see a psychologist. All you need to do is chat to your GP and get them to do a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) for you. You’ll get a rebate of up to $97.90 for each session . -... You don’t need to have a MHTP to see me though. You can simply jump onto my website and book online .
