on the weekend I attended an online pain symposium 🌸 discussing pain & things to consider as clinicians when treating those with chronic pain. I thought about my patients who navigate chronic pain and how right some of the information felt in my body, to hear of the importance of including the mind, the nervous system, thoughts, language and psychosomatic experiencing when navigating pain with your patients.
How pain is biological, but how it also possess psychological and psychosomatic factors too.
Two is one, an incredible speaker who was an anaesthetist shared, it is a single entity. Pain (and symptoms) are always psychological and psychosomatic to some degree, as well as biological.

He also shared that pain and symptoms always have an adaptive or useful role in our body ~ they have a purpose.
Pain has a purpose; even when it negatively affects our function, wellbeing and life. 🌸
I’ve navigated chronic pain personally at two points in my life, this is not to dismiss, it is to simply share how valid this view is, in the understanding and treatment of pain.

He talked about language, the subconscious, pain receptors and their ability to over react. Just like our nervous system can too. He shared a study of women who were given an epidural and were told to expect a sting, ‘here comes the bee sting’ they were told and they experienced much more pain on administration of the epi, than women who were only supported in remaining still, yet not warned about pain.

I thought about all of the times in my life and health journey I’ve told myself or held the belief that things may harm me. Fearing so many factors would derail my ability to heal. I thought about how I left the symposium and ate a Bunnings sausage on white bread. How my life and patients lives have shifted dramatically from minimising fear and supporting our stress response, safety and nervous systems.

I love our little holistic clinic and all of its learnings x

A lunch time reminder ✨ please eat today ✨💗
We still need to eat if we are hurting.
We still need to eat if we are struggling.
We still need to eat if we are at maxed capacity.
We still need to eat if we are grieving.
We still need to eat if we have anxiety.
We still need to eat if we are bone tired.
We still need to eat if we are moving through something.
We still need to eat, even if we don’t want to.
Even if it’s hard. We still need to eat.

In these spaces, it is less about what, and more about the act of giving your body something; providing it a little support, while it continues to support you.
Choose something that feels do able.
We can consider the what at a later date when you have more capacity.

Because we still need to eat 💗 all my love ✨ x

Women share the most harrowing things with me in clinic and then wander out and stand next to you in woolies.
They go home and cook dinner for their families.
Pick up kids. Late night go over files for work for the next day; all while navigating loss, pain, symptoms, infertility, bone deep exhaustion, anxiety, infidelity, hot flashes, identity crises, disordered eating, bleeding, test results, diagnoses, loneliness, limited capacity, impending surgery, treatment…

I leave clinic and also stand next to women in woolies, in the chai line, at the petrol station as we both zone out, and wonder what on earth they could be carrying too. I can’t unsee it, because I spend my days knowing we are all carrying something; often more than just something.
And it has changed me. Changed how I move through the world, how I receive others, how I view it all.

The woman next to you in the line, you standing in the line, more than likely carrying the world, whilst also remembering to take the chicken out of the freezer, make the print out for kindy news day, email Linda for the 4th time today as she insists on being CC’d in, eat lunch because if you don’t you won’t get through it all, and pump the petrol on the way home as your mind wanders at the pump, the thought of ‘why isn’t it happening for us’ swimming around your mind as you so long for a baby.
Women.
You carry so much.
Much of this unseen.

I think the kindest, warmest and most supportive thing we can do as a community of women is walk through the world like we see it. The weight we are all carrying. And if you need a safe space for someone to take your hand and hold some of the load for a little while with you, I’m at with the teapot brewing ☕️ x

I went to post something advice like today. It was a reminder about supplements, and self prescribing; but then my final client walked into the clinic for the day and her first words to me were ‘I am exhausted’; and internally, I thought, yeah, same. 😂

And we drank chamomile tea as she shed a few exhausted tears and we came up with a few little supportive next steps to have her feeling a little less at breaking point, and I realised that this truly is the point.

So it didn’t feel right to post the supplement advice; because we are all exhausted and I am too ☺️

Wellness lately feels like some type of hack we all just can’t seem to reach or get right. The information overload is too reallll and I am often the practitioner urging you to do less. Which my finance team wants to wallop me over, but my heart knows is my true north. I don’t want to join the brigade that is loud and intensive. The one that continues to bombard you, having you believe we need to override and hijack your body, forcing it into spaces it doesn’t want to, or doesn’t need to go.
I treat with the belief that your body knows what to do, and that when we provide it with support, at the right time, in the right order, that hand holds with your system, magical things can happen ✨

So yes, I don’t really feel like more information was needed here today, for any of our systems and selves. Perhaps what we all need is a little more time outside, a few more moments that bring us joy, an exhale and that feeling of connection to ourselves, our bodies, nature & others. 💕

and a little less of all of the other things we feel we truly need right now x

just coming to you from my kitchen where I put my pjs on at 4.30pm and called it a day today (& made pancakes) 🥰🥞 also just checking, have you eaten enough today? 💗 before we do anything else in the space of womens health, let’s focus on those 3 meals, + snacks if needed (depending on your season), and ensure our body gets the nourishment that it needs to continue working tirelessly and beautifully for us 💗

For many women that come to see me, the starting point is increasing their intake and dialling up their nourishment which also simultaneously supports energy, body safety, anxiety, blood sugar, sleep, mood and capacity. 🌸 If we are not eating enough and are undernourished, many other things we do together rarely have the effect that we are hoping for.

Nourishment changes our health, our capacity, our level of vitality and our zest and desire for life, as well as our ability to have enough energy to really find and feel joy! It also signals to our body that it is safe, which improves many feelings of jittery anxiety that can exist in a depleted and undernourished system. 🌸

These were banana and cottage cheese pancakes. 🥞 I’m really sorry, I don’t measure, but they were delicious, I added:

🍌

1 mashed banana
Oat flour
Cottage cheese
An egg
Vanilla
Cinnamon

You are deserving of dinner tonight 😘 and if today was hard with eating, let’s try again tomorrow to really focus on nourishing you 🌸 x

a little bit of sagey sagey magic after a big & beautiful day of these walls holding lots of your clinic stories ✨ 🍃 💗

I let a patient know yesterday, who had been told by her doctor that she probably could not have children, (and carried this belief for years), as she has PCOS; that this may not be the case. That PCOS does not equal infertility and that I wish for better care for women than statements that are so black and white. Her face almost brought me to my knees.

I held hands with another patient as she held her breath opening test results.

And I held space for a beautiful man who said for the first time out loud, that within his recent journey, he had never felt so scared.

It doesn’t feel like I have a regular job and I am so bloody grateful for that. 😘💗

Thank you for another beautiful week in our little clinic home 🌸 x

Someone asked me yesterday if I had shut down my clinic, as they miss my words on here. 🥹 I promise, me and the clinic are alive and well, I am just much more active on Instagram these days 🪻🌸
Here is a sentiment from there today 💓

I just walked along a street near my home, chatting to a patient on the phone who is about to embark on a pretty big health and fertility journey 🌸
‘I am really excited, but I am also feeling very mixed. It definitely isn’t just this high and happy feeling. I am also scared, and I’ve had moments of grief, confusion, spaces where I know I ‘should’ be feeling this intense joy, and I do, but it comes with other things too, like fear and sadness and even questioning.
It’s not bloody Instagram in real life is it’ 😂 she said, and we had a bit of a giggle at that one.

Because it really isn’t like Instagram, is it?

Anything we navigate. It is always pretty mixed isn’t it?! 🌸 and that word ‘should’ can make anything we feel that seems to deviate from what we think we should, feel wrong.

Yesterday I turned 35, and lately, I have felt like I am within one of my most beautiful seasons, yet it has been mixed. I’ve had to navigate fear, grief, triggers, old stories and beliefs and a hell of a lot of loss and letting go to be here. Those are the parts we don’t see on Instagram, hey.

This is why women sit opposite me in clinic with a confirmed positive pregnancy, feeling shame for it feeling beautiful and exciting and yet also mixed.

It is why women reach a place with their health and weight, and wonder where the euphoria and complete happiness and self acceptance is. Why aren’t I simply feeling this Elle?
Because every season, will always feel mixed 🌸

There is no place to reach in love, and health and weight and fertility and all of your wildest dreams coming true, where it will ever just feel like one thing.
It is always going to feel human.
and this little platform will never ever tell or show the whole story.

So before we buy into the bu****it that other women don’t feel like a mixed bag of many emotions within their seasons, they do. We all do. Even our most beautiful ones.

Whatever we feel, is always ok. And your truth? Always welcome here 🌸🪻💗 x

I said no to a patient today; a potential one anyway. Because she yearned to play hard ball, to go hard with her body. To ‘attack’ it from every angle and to see multiple praccys at once. So I said no, because this journey of us working together is not about patient numbers or $$ for me. It is about alignment and support that feels right for both of us.
I played hard ball with my body once and it took me a long time to repair and undo the intensity with which I met it with. I know how desperate and dire of a space, health struggles can place us within. We feel that we need to go hard and ‘attack’ and often this places the very systems we are trying to support, under more duress and pressure. I am not for everyone in clinical practice. I am not hard ball. And I won’t play it. Not with you or your body. I only treat your body to a certain depth, because I believe in the body and its ability. I am strategic with our support tools and I see it like hand holding for the body, or like pulling out a little foot stool or giving it a little shove in the bum so that it can climb to that next little step itself. It knows how, sometimes it just needs a little bit of support.
My desire is not to override it or its systems and I believe in this approach in every fibre of my being.
I will always tell you the truth and I will always refer you onto someone more aligned to provide you the approach that suits you, your body and your desires for healing too. 🩵🌸

I shut off the lights today in for 2025 with tears in my eyes. Not tears of sadness, but tears of joy. 🌸 for bowel movements had, after a long struggle, for inflammation halved after a big season of trying, for anxiety minimised (even slightly) in bodies that haven’t known this; for small shifts in your systems, which you and I both know, are big shifts 💥

I get tired, but everyday I also get to experience pure magic and I close off another year of clinic feeling like the luckiest girl alive. 🩷

I just wanted to share my happiness for you in this post, for all of the shifts that your bodies experienced this year.
I want to share how proud I feel of you and your bodies, it’s been incredible to see just what they can do, what you can do.
I want to share how brave and beautiful it is to see you reach for support, share struggle and allow a helping hand for you and your body when needed. Your journeys sometimes bring me to my knees and I never take your choice in me as your practitioner, lightly. Thank you for choosing me ❤️

I hope you are able to end this year with peace in your heart. Feeling so proud of yourselves and your bodies. You navigated big big things this year and your body was right there with you, doing its best for you as you moved through 2025.

Like I’ve said to you all year, and always, I will always believe in your body. Its ability to do amazing things. I believe for you when you lose a little bit of belief & hope. I celebrate beside you when we see those beautiful shifts, and I will always hold your hand and remain beside you on the truly earth shattering days too; the results days, the waiting days, the take us both to our knees days. I will sit beside you, until we can see the next step forward for you and your body.

All my love, for whatever the end of this year looks like for you. 🎄 We don’t really do big and grand around here, so feel free to join me in the gentle, the simple, the nourishing (in whatever way feels right for you).

Merry Christmas beautiful women 🩷 (and beautiful men who also joined me this year 🩵) I can’t wait to do it all again soon 🥰 x

I’m sorry that your email reply is late, but it found me while I danced around my kitchen late afternoon to George Michael, while making an exorbitant amount of pad Thai for dinners for myself.
Your email found me as I decided I needed less emails and more sitting across from a friend, sipping on chai and talking about everything and nothing all at once.
It found me as I grappled with processing complex feelings and information.
It found me as I took some time to move my body and be on a mat. I needed a mat today.
Your email did find me. I just needed today to reach me a little more than it did.

Ever feel like that?

And when my email reply does find you, I hope you blow it off too (just for a little while), to be with a friend, or dance around your kitchen, or make an exorbitant amount of pad Thai, or maybe more simply, because you are off choosing some things instead that would better nourish you. 🌸😘

Just today I saw 2 patients who are navigating a cancer diagnosis and journey.
A patient who has recently had a stroke.
Someone who has just uncovered a partners affair. Another who is desperately yearning to be a mum. + a few mixed bag cases like constipation, deficiencies and humans wanting to turn their life and health around.

It can be a big transition from clinic life to home life. I step out into the afternoon light and it often looks different than the light I entered the clinic building in. Forever changed by your stories and journeys.
Forever in awe. Forever honoured, to have them shared with me and to be a part of them. 🌸

It is weird and wonderful my work. I can be within a conversation about the biggest moments and seasons within your lives and then I am in the line at office works, waiting to pick up some photos, like I am right now as I type this.
I guess humans in care roles often feel like this; that life keeps on keeping on, even when humans feel like time has just stopped within theirs.

I hope that wherever you find yourself in your current season that you have support around you 🌸 one of my patients put it so beautifully today, he said you know, talking to you helps me feel seen and so do two of my mates; a coffee and a conversation with them has the whole day looking different, & I thought yep! That’s the medicine right there 🩷

25/11/2025

and where you will find me between patients (but also please don’t find me 😂😜), will most likely be here. Reading the cheesiest of cheese, or some true crime. Slipping into the imaginary worlds of these pages; sipping on chai with the background sounds of the crashing sea 🥹 bliss 🦋

I take my lunch break every day. Always at different times, when I’m able to sneak it in. But I always take it and if you work with me, you will know I not only encourage you to take your breaks too, but I often write it in your treatment plan 😘

Today I had a client want to schedule in our session in my only break and I said no. Past me would have said yes, but she was depleted, deficient, undernourished and an over giver. I’ve realised that I am the best practitioner for my patients and the best human for my loved ones when I am also able to nourish myself.

Women especially need this reminder over and over again till we begin to understand how powerful it is for our health and for those we love too. It allows us to be more present, gifts us more capacity and an abundance of love and care for those in our lives; because it starts with us 🫐

Please take your lunch breaks. Please never believe you are too busy to step away and give yourself some nourishing food, a few deep breaths and a break to recalibrate.

You not only deserve it, you require it x
