One funding stream isn’t enough.⁠
⁠
Resilience in paediatric practice means having multiple levers to pull on. At Kids Heart Pilates, this looks like:⁠
✔ NDIS sessions⁠
✔ Private clients⁠
✔ Early education partnerships⁠
✔ Holiday intensives⁠
✔ Group programs (our tween classes book out!)⁠
⁠
These streams don’t just protect us from funding shifts, they expand our impact and create new referral pathways.⁠
⁠
Start small, try a holiday program, a school-based workshop, or a small group session. It takes persistence, but it’s worth it.⁠
⁠
I’ve shared more practical ideas in my latest blog. You’ll also find the October Knowledge Corner offer, designed to give you the tools to build resilience and confidence in your own practice.⁠

Did you know Pilates for kids is backed by science?⁠
⁠
A systematic review of 11 studies found Pilates can improve flexibility, strength, postural control, and even reduce pain in children and youth with musculoskeletal issues (5) (Hornsby & Johnston, 2020)⁠
⁠
Early movement matters, the evidence shows Pilates sets the stage for lifelong health.⁠
⁠
Read the research: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31152703/⁠

My courses are riddled with supporting evidence. Sign up in October and save. ⁠

I am here to support you all the way to a fulfilling life as a paediatric practitioner. ⁠
⁠
Over the last few weeks I have had so many great conversations with incredible people and welcomed many beautiful new members into the The Paediatric Practitioner Knowledge Corner. It is my favourite thing about running these courses. ⁠
⁠
There's been one thread that keeps coming up in conversation though that really grinds my gears. The lack of awareness of how an EP can help paediatric pops. And the threat we are under with the upcoming changes. ⁠
⁠
Not if I have anything to do with it. ⁠
⁠
I've had conversations where we are getting the most amazing results but still having to advocate and explain what we do and how we can help. Well it is time to change that and the best thing is we have had new registrations from across all allied health disciplines and early educators and together we can be the ecosystem required to change the way we work with kids. ⁠
⁠
I have officially been out of my comfort zone for my entire 15 years in business because I am always learning and growing. I have big dreams and I know that in order to get those big dreams I have to back myself and do the things that I haven't done before. I have to learn more and experiment and know that I will sometimes get it right and sometimes I will get it wrong but it's always going to teach me what I need to know. ⁠
⁠
If you've been thinking about joining but don't think you're not ready, don't have enough paediatric clients and don't know enough - please stop telling yourself a story that is keeping you small. I want to see you succeed and I will cheer you on all the way. ⁠
⁠
One week to take advantage of this epic value and discount. If you're ready to be brave and bold and be a part of prevention and get the momentum going, register now. Like, right now.⁠

Building service resilience!

My final love for my October sale which ends on Monday!

It is important now more than ever to build some resilience in our practices! It’s feeling a bit icky and uncertain but take it from someone that has had her Paed business turned inside out and upside down before. It’s ok!

It’s times like this that you can truly shine. Here is what I have learned.

1. Make sure you have diversification of clients and funding streams. The best way to do this is lean into your value and get yourself out there!
2. Offer different levels of care from 1:1 home visits, to 1;1 clinic, to groups to school and childcare groups. (I have so much on this in the course)
3. Collaborate with other allieds or create a multi disciplinary team.
4. Create community visibility and local presence. How are you showing up? Think outside the box.
5. Know your numbers - track what programs are working!
6. Build your teams, upskilling and investing in your team is more important now more than ever!
7. Business owners. Make sure you have a buffer in your account. But better yet action 1-6 now so you are taking steps to be more resilient!

Reach out if you want to chat!

Remember course sale ends Monday! $997 20 ESSA points!

Fishing for Rockets ✨

This seated cable pull game builds shoulder strength, postural control, and hand sequencing, all while sparking imagination.

Kids “walk” their hands down the rope to catch a rocket (or treasure, or fish!) then reel it back in.

Perfect for:
✅ Upper limb coordination
✅ Core and posture
✅ Fine motor readiness
✅ Imaginative play + engagement

Playful, purposeful movement that feels like a game💪

My reformer exercises are now included in Knowledge Corner and Pilates for Paeds. Sign up before October 27th and we will mail you out a hard copy of my exercise database included reformer exercises for FREE. Valued $269.

So grateful.
It’s not my Sunday long run or marathon prep, but if you’d asked me ten years ago whether I’d rather be out running or out with my kids, I’d have chosen this every time.

I’m still not well enough to run and may have to defer my entry to next year and if that’s the case, that’s ok. Because these moments are precious.

Nothing like a little perspective shift.

There's nothing I love more than seeing kids having fun moving and I look at the face of the educator or health professional working with them and seeing them having just as much fun. It literally makes my heart sing. ​​​​​​​​​⁠
⁠
I love seeing my course members break out of their comfort zones and confidently show up for their paediatric clients.⁠
⁠
The nature of both health professionals and educators is that they give and give and give. And sometimes they dont get a lot back in return. It is the nature of the beast. ⁠
⁠
So even if you don't take stock, I've got you covered. I'll save some space for you and together we can celebrate the impact we are having. ⁠
⁠
Hi, I'm Liz, your paediatric mentor! :)
