🌙 Trouble Sleeping? Let’s Fix That.
Sleep disruptions can sneak in and throw off your whole day. Here’s how to get back on track:

🔄 Stick to a routine – Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily, even on weekends.
📵 Limit late-night stimulation – Avoid screens, caffeine, and intense conversations before bed.
🧘‍♀️ Wind down mindfully – Try deep breathing, meditation, or gentle stretching.
🌡️ Check your sleep environment – Cool, dark, and quiet is best.
📓 Track your sleep – Use a journal to spot patterns and triggers.

💬 Sleep isn’t just about quantity—it’s about quality. What’s your biggest sleep disruptor?

💪 Client of the month 💪

Congratulations to Geoff who was nominated our client of the month for August. Geoff is well known around TNW for his sense of humour and consistency - here's what he had to say!

"After over 50 years of marriage, I have slowly learnt to bark on command whether it is my wife, Vicky, Tamika or Hannah. So, I do what I am told whether that is a strengthening exercise or just getting some kms into the legs.

I enjoy the exercise and look forward to the weekly interaction with Vicky, Tamika or Hannah. One benefit has been shaving 5 mins off the mowing time and the trailer is handled more easily for a tip run. I just feel better for the exercise!

As somebody in their eighties, I do not know how much additional longevity the exercise will bestow, but I do know I feel better and fitter. I welcome a bit of banter on entry with Nadine and Rachel, then Vicky, Tamika and Hannah. They are a good crew and it is a pleasure to work with them. I hope to continue the arrangement."

🥗🏋️‍♀️😴 Eat. Move. Rest. Sleep Better.
Your daily habits shape your sleep more than you think! Here’s how to align your lifestyle for deeper, more restorative rest:

🍽️ Nutrition

Avoid heavy meals and caffeine close to bedtime.
Include sleep-supporting nutrients like magnesium, tryptophan, and B vitamins.
🏃‍♂️ Exercise

Regular movement improves sleep quality and reduces stress.
Morning or early afternoon workouts are best—late-night sessions may keep you wired.
🧘‍♀️ Rest & Recovery

Build a calming evening routine: stretch, journal, or meditate.
Prioritize wind-down time to signal your body it’s time to sleep.
✨ Balanced days = restful nights.

🛏️ Your Ideal Sleep Setup Starts Here 🌙
Want deeper, more restful sleep? Your bedroom environment plays a huge role in how well you sleep. Here’s how to set it up for success:

✅ Cool it down – Aim for 16–20°C. A cooler room helps your body wind down.
✅ Dim the lights – Use blackout curtains or a sleep mask to block light.
✅ Quiet the noise – Try earplugs or a white noise machine.
✅ Declutter – A tidy space = a calm mind.
✅ Tech-free zone – Keep screens out of the bedroom to avoid blue light disruption.

🧘‍♀️ Bonus: Add calming scents like lavender or chamomile to your space.

Struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep? It might be time to clean up your sleep habits! 🧼✨

Here are 5 simple sleep hygiene tips to help you rest better:

2️⃣ Create a wind-down routine – Try reading, stretching, or deep breathing before bed.
3️⃣ Limit screen time – Power down devices at least 30–60 minutes before sleep.
4️⃣ Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet – Your sleep environment matters!
5️⃣ Avoid caffeine and heavy meals late in the day – They can disrupt your sleep cycle.

🧠 Good sleep = better mood, energy, and performance.

📈 Healing Isn’t Linear

Pain can vary day to day. Flare-ups don’t mean failure—they’re part of the process. What matters is consistency, patience, and support.

🧠 Your Nervous System Remembers

Chronic pain often involves a sensitized nervous system. It’s like your body’s alarm system is stuck on high alert—even when there’s no danger.

🎯 The goal isn’t to “fix” the pain overnight, but to calm the system through education, movement, and lifestyle strategies.

Let’s work together to retrain your body and brain.

Do you experience...
✔️Intermittent back pain and want to learn strategies to prevent it from becoming chronic?
✔️Chronic back pain and have exhausted lots of treatment options with no relief?

There are currently few opportunities to undertake a multidisciplinary Pain Management Program in the community, so don't miss out on this unique opportunity with Tamika and Zac commencing soon!

Join us at 2pm on Mondays for six weeks, commencing 25th August at True North Wellness for a group based program combining pain education and practical exercise to empower you with an individualised plan on taking charge of your pain. All pain is valid, so the program is suitable for mild intermittent to very severe and constant back pain, and for people of all fitness levels and walks of life.

Not sure what it's about or if it's right for you? Just contact us 3325 3678 or tamika@truenorthwellness.com.au

Shared from one of the previous participants of this program:

"I joined the 6 week pain management program wanting to improve my strength and conditioning and learn more about pain. Tamika and Zac were both particularly passionate program facilitators and they delivered education that was engaging, interesting and relevant. I quickly found myself looking forward to the weekly session. The exercises were achievable (with opportunities to individualise if someone was struggling), and the group was a safe place for discussions. I left the course feeling so much more empowered and would highly recommend the program to anyone with chronic pain."
