We started using AI in my practice three months ago. I’ve now been using it for 6 weeks and I struggle without it. It’s been practice changing!

We use patientnotesapp. I couldn’t recommend them enough. The team are dedicated, responsive and helpful. Check them out!!!

Can I be honest?

I LOVE an evidence-based approach, but sometimes the available research doesn’t cover the scope of what I know.

Research can be limited by funding, popularity and time.

Funding: if something has the potential to make money, often investors will pay for the research to be conducted. Look at the pharmacy industry.

Popularity: If an idea is talked about enough, it has the potential to make money. If not, it’s forgotten.

Time: people’s experience is the lowest form of evidence. But someone’s story can spark need for research. For this to then become good quality studies, it can take years.

If a therapy isn’t evidence based, it often means there isn’t strong evidence to support them. But there also isn’t evidence against them.

If the therapy works - why not use it now?

This little one had a right sided intrauterine pattern.

She presenting with a right sided preference.

When lying on her back, you can clearly see her bodies natural tendency to lie in a right “banana” shape as well as her right leg holding in a flexed or bent position.

Not only was her right should tight, preventing her neck from turning but the restriction at the bottom of her left neck meant she couldn’t comfortably turn to look to her right.

Not only do I assess the neck, but I look at the whole body and both sides.

An oximeter can be an easy way to test how well the nose is working.

If you notice your child is mouth breathing, ask them to breath through their nose for three minutes when the device is attached.

If the oxygen saturation, displayed as a percentage (in this photo it’s 98%), drops below 95%, there is likely a blockage such as adenoids or congestion.

If it stays strong above 95%, they have the capacity to breath through their nose but they may need some training and practice to change the habit and rewire the brain.

This is what I do in my practice! Reteaching kids how to breathe effectively and comfortably.

Thank you Motherhub and Sarah for an amazing day in Cooma for Christmas in July.
We spent the day, shopping, laughing and enjoying great company.

Every Thursday I work at the Motherhub in Queanbeyan. I'm so grateful to be apart of an amazing team. Come and see me in Queanbeyan if you need manual therapy for breastfeeding support.

A rainbow was the first image that came to mind when I thought about why I do what I do: Brightness, inclusivity, unity, and harmony. Every child and person deserves care and a new beginning.

Outside of my practice, I have two daughters whom I love and support, helping them grow into happy, healthy individuals who breathe well and love to move. I understand how busy life can get with a young family, not only from a professional perspective but also through personal experience. I am here for you.

I’m introducing Growly.

This is my special teddy bear. He helps me demonstrate stretching, breathing and other exercises.

He helps my kids feel really comfortable in the treatment room.

You’ll be seeing more of him. 🧸
