Beautifully written advocacy- Emily is not alone in her experience of POTS, and the medical community has a long way to go before we “think Zebras”. However, there is a growing group of (mostly) young people who meet regularly at Tondoon Botanic Gardens, to share experiences and resources.

Emily, from Gladstone, QLD, Bailai, Gurang, Gooreng Gooreng, and Taribelang Bunda Country.

Once a Guide, always a Guide….. my early training as a Guide stood me in good stead to manage the years of learning in Medicine. They are a wonderful not for profit organisation and need some help at the moment.

Please keep an eye out for the Girl Guide fundraiser as they recover from an Arson attack at the Dawson Highway hut.

I’m visiting Brisbane this weekend to participate in The Ehlers Danlos Society TEAMWORK Global Learning Conference.

Such a message of hope for people, mostly women, who live with hypermobility and the associated co-morbidities of POTS, MCAS and fatigue.

I’ve learned so much, especially from the allied health professionals who presented over the weekend. So much to get my head around as I bring what I am learning back to Gladstone to share with my Dazzle of Zebras, and hopefully the fantastic allied health team who work with them.

Gladstone Municipal Band is an organisation that has been a big part of my life in Gladstone since I arrived in 1998.
How many of you had me drop in to the Mater at 9 .15 on a Monday night after band practice?!

The band is looking for a new home.

As well as rehearsal space, we also have music, instruments and uniforms to store.

Any help in finding a new solution would be greatly appreciated.

Sometimes I wonder if any of the beautiful babies I helped bring into the world are now musicians.

Would love to play alongside them at Gladstone Municipal Band.

See us at our first performance for the year at the Australia Day Awards Ceremony, 25th January at the GECC.

I’ve been quite quiet on social media lately, but I do want to share Gladstone Municipal Band’s post about our upcoming afternoon of music with our friends from across Gladstone.

It’s great that women all over Queensland can participate in this important study.

If you are under 18 weeks along in your pregnancy, and have a history of having had Gestational Diabetes in a previous pregnancy, have a read and see if you would like to participate!

There is some new research that tells us the human gut microbiome (tiny, microscopic organisms that live in our gut) may affect how well you can control your blood sugar levels. We are wanting to test whether changing what we eat and drink to improve gut health, can improve women's risk of developin...

In my spare time I like to play music with my friends, and we have put together a concert.

All are welcome.

And the Band is always very happy to welcome Brass and Percussion players.

I’m sure I’ve delivered a few over the years!
Would love to see you at Band Practice on Monday nights.

What a treat for me!

This lovely young couple Katie and Anthony recently brought in their precious new daughter for her well baby check.

I was both Katie’s and Anthony’s Mum’s GP Obstetrician once upon a time.

How time flies! I no longer ”deliver” babies, but I can still celebrate the safe arrival of our next generation, and help them flourish.

Thanks to Katie and Anthony for allowing me to post their portrait.
