Going into 2026, I’m choosing simple things done consistently.
Your nervous system doesn’t need more pressure—
it needs support.
I choose not to set resolutions, or restrictions going into 2026, but I like to remind myself what will help me function at my best, move and grow. Here to a year of growth, a year of fun, and a year where we give ourselves the support we deserve.

The last staff meeting of 2025 - full of Christmas cheer, and maybe a few Christmas snacks to keep the team going with 1 more week til Christmas!

They had some great wins this week - some of which are fitting as many of you from the waiting list in as they possibly can! Some really great healing stories, and lots and lots of fun!

Also a little proof of life - if you check the computer screen you will see Janine alive, well and spending quality time with the NEC team.

During this time of the year things get CRAZY! So a small, simple tip that can help get your through is as simple as sunshine. That's right, morning sunlight can help with so many things, including:

Cortisol levels:
- Cortisol naturally peaks shortly after waking. Early light exposure helps your brain’s master clock confirm that it’s morning. Without morning light, cortisol release can drift later, causing evening stress, poor sleep, and fatigue. Over time, it reduces chronic cortisol elevation which interferes with sleep.

Circadian Rhythm:
- Morning sunlight (especially within the first 1–2 hrs after sunrise) contains a specific balance of blue and yellow light that helps set your internal clock. Exposure to this light tells your brain it’s daytime, leading to increased alertness in the morning and improved sleep quality at night.

Depressive symptoms:
- Morning light exposure increases serotonin, a neurotransmitter that boosts mood, focus, and calmness. This can help prevent or ease seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and mild depression.

How to Get the Benefits:
- Go outside within an hour of waking.
- Aim for 10–15 minutes of direct sunlight (no sunglasses, if comfortable).
- If it’s cloudy, stay out a bit longer—natural daylight still works.

Danielle recommends!

The Fam Hub Cafe, or locally known as Paddock to Plate, is owned and operated by Evergrow Componics Farm, where they grow and make the food for the cafe so that it's all fresh, yummy and organic!

It's a beautiful spot for a feed and you get to be educated about the farm and get a tour if you're lucky!
It's really an amazing place and how it's all been set up is inspirational even to those with mini gardens.

🧠 Chiropractic and the Brain: New Research on the Mind–Body Connection
A recent study led by Dr Heidi Haavik found that regular chiropractic adjustments don’t just help the spine move better — they can also influence how the brain and nervous system function.

Over 4 weeks of chiropractic care, participants showed:
✨ Changes in brain activity (increased alpha, theta, and beta waves — linked to improved focus and relaxation)
💤 Better sleep quality, especially more light sleep
😊 Improved wellbeing, including less pain, fatigue, anxiety and depression
💪 Higher quality of life scores compared to those receiving usual care alone

These findings suggest that chiropractic adjustments may help optimise communication between the brain and body — supporting better movement, mood, and overall function.

Your spine is your body’s communication highway — keep it moving well to keep your brain and body in sync. 💫

Dr Danielle loves to know a little about a lot, and when she found this podcast, she was hooked!

Based off of the book Freakanomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, this podcast "explores the hidden side of everything."

While the content is vast and highly varied, her favourite episode was #454 "Should Traffic Lights Be Abolished?" - where they discuss the economical impact on traffic lights vs roundabouts. (Did you know there's actually a Roundabout Appreciation Society?!)

So if you also like to know a little about everything, this podcast is definitely one to check out!
