Alice Springs! Something exciting is coming your way!

This October, Movement Matters Therapy is teaming up with Her Exercise Physiology to host a three-part women’s health workshop series with Courtenay from Her Exercise Physiology.
Across three sessions, we’ll dive into the stages of womanhood that are too often left out of the conversation, from living with endometriosis, to navigating menopause, to feeling supported through pregnancy and beyond.

Here’s what you can expect:
✨ Evidence-based strategies explained in a clear, practical way
✨ A safe, supportive space to learn, ask questions, and connect
✨ Tools you can take home and apply straight away — not just theory
✨ Guidance from a Women’s Health Exercise Physiologist who understands the real challenges women face

Together we’ll explore:
✨ Endometriosis & chronic pelvic pain
✨ Perimenopause & menopause
✨ Pregnancy & postpartum

Whether you’re managing pain, moving through change, or rebuilding strength after birth, these workshops are designed to leave you feeling informed, empowered, and confident in your body.

📍 Movement Matters Therapy | October 7, 9 & 10
✅ Spots are limited — register now below and via the link in bio

What a day!! 🤩🤩

World Su***de Prevention Day 🕊️

Su***de is the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15–44. Here in Central Australia, the rates are the highest in the country. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are 2.5× more likely to die by su***de than non-Indigenous Australians, and those living in rural and remote areas are twice as likely as people in cities.

These numbers are more than statistics — they represent lives, families, and communities deeply impacted.

💙 At Movement Matters Therapy, we believe movement can be part of the answer. Exercise supports mental health by improving mood, sleep, and resilience, and it gives people tools to feel stronger both physically and emotionally.

Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we stand alongside our community in calling for more support, culturally informed strategies, and stronger mental health services in Central Australia.

You are not alone. If you need support, please reach out:
📞 Lifeline: 13 11 14
📞 13YARN (for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people): 13 92 76

Together, we can build hope and healing in Central Australia. 🌱
