Connecting to the land and being in nature is so resourcing- it helps us to slow down, ignite our senses, be in the moment. On this lovely walk we observed many kangaroos eating, sleeping and enjoying the sun and then they all suddenly hopped away looking over their shoulders and sure enough there were 3 wedge tail eagles š¦ gliding just above us all - so . It was fascinating to observe and witness- so grateful to live here on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula.

Thought for today! Findng the peace and stillness with in is a life changer!
Iāve just returned from teaching biodynamic Craniosacral therapy in Perth - it re- inspires my passion for this work each time I teach a seminar. Iām available for appointments again in Chiton and Smertin Park if you are interested in giving your body the time and space to deepen into relaxation, helping the nervous system to settle, whilst at the same time releasing tension in the tissues of your body.

Hi ššš Iām Amanda.
It was during the early years of my career in the media and music industry that I realised there must be another pathway! Dealing daily with stress, anxiety, never-ending deadlines, budgets and large personalities led me to explore and then study alternative ways to find health and balance in everyday life.
Cranial Sacral Therapy is such an incredible modality, and I love to work hands-on in a clinical environment where I can offer clients the time and space to really connect with their own bodies in a deeply supported way, and help them find their balance within.
I am also pleased to be able to offer treatments here in Chiton and monthly at Somerton Park.

This is a hard truth - Iāve witnessed it so many times working in allied health and palliative care, where people keep putting off their dreams and goalsā¦ waiting for that āright timeā or the someday maybe in the future. Putting things off until one day our time has run out. Embrace each day, acknowledge how you feel and set about doing one thing that you really want to do(not should do or have to do) it can be as simple as sitting in the sunshine sipping your cuppa. Watching the waves crash onto the rocks- whatever it is do it mindfully, be present to the experience- feel the sun warming you, breath the fresh air. Take time for you - you are worth it šš

We often find our minds take us to thoughts about the past which in turn impacts our current experience. Or we look into the future and bring the experiences of the past with us. If we can just connect into our bodies - feel our feet on the ground, the wind in our hair and notice our surroundings it helps us to be in the present moment! This in turn can help reduce anxiety. If you would like support to reduce stress and anxiety please contact me Amanda Dickie - message below or via my website

Welcome to my health & wellness page. Iām Amanda and I love to share knowledge and information to help people live happier and healthier lives. All my life Iāve been passionate about the environment and working towards creating balance to our inner worlds and the beautiful planet we share.
I spent many years working in the media on radio, TV, advertising and Music industry here and in the UK. It was through my own stress that I realised I needed to make some changes in my life to create some balance, so I started having Natural therapies to help, doing yoga, Qi Gong and studying massage and that was just the beginning of the path to Health & Wellness.
When I became a Mother my childrenās health was the most important thing, so I only used products that were gentle on their skin, non toxic and gentle on Mother Earth. It was through this I have learnt so much about what is in products we consume everyday!
The products I use as a Practitioner and a Mum are the best that Iāve found and are of the highest quality. I know how hard it is to discern between one product and another, so Iām happy to share what I found along the way.
As a Cranial Sacral Practitioner & Health Coach, I love to connect with people on a deep level, creating a healing environment for clients to feel safe in. Iāve been a practitioner in Natural Therapies for over 28 years, predominately as a Cranial Sacral & Flower Essence Therapist and Facilitator of Massage & Mind Body Medicine courses. Iām soon to be a co-author for a book called āThe Anxiety Relief Handbookā, where I will be sharing tools and insights into how CST is able work with reducing anxiety levels. I worked in Palliative care as a therapist for over 7 years and that has given me huge insight into anxiety and many health conditions and the opportunity to work alongside an incredible team of Allopathic and Allied health Professionals.
I was drawn to Craniosacral Therapy in the 90ās and studied some of this work then. However, it wasnāt until 2015 I decided to undertake a 2 year Diploma in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy through Body Intelligence ā an Internationally recognised training organisation.
I can honestly say, Iāve found what I am meant to be doing, I love this work and what it offers, and Iām excited to be able to offer these incredible therapies, together they support and compliment each other.
Once I started on this journey towards health and balance I have come to realise that there is a life time of learning and sharing ahead.... I hope you can join me as we travel on the road to health & wellness.
Yours in Good Health
Amanda
I help people suffering with chronic stress & trauma to release the holding patterns in their bodies, so their nervous system can remember how to relax, allowing them to be more comfortable, peaceful and free from restrictions (limitations?) both mentally & physically, without having to re-live the original trauma.
