Today is often framed as a day about love.

For some, that means celebrating togetherness. For others, pressure, comparison, disappointment.

It might be worth noticing what feels familiar - how you respond, what you anticipate, what you brace for.

Sometimes meeting yourself with a little more care and compassion is the most meaningful expression of love there is.

Many responses don’t arise from conscious choice, they emerge from patterns that have been repeated often enough to become automatic.

That’s why insight alone doesn’t always create change. The response can arrive before the thinking mind catches up.

When change happens at the level of pattern — not effort — new responses become easier to access over time.

Working with unconscious patterns so different responses can become available, without force, is where my work shines.

It can feel discouraging when a familiar issue shows up again.

The same reaction.
The same tension.
The same frustration.

But repetition doesn’t always mean nothing has changed. It often means the system is meeting the same theme from a different place. A place of more awareness, more capacity, or more choice than before. What matters isn’t whether the pattern reappears, but how it’s met this time.

Change is often measured in how the response shifts — not whether the situation repeats.

Lately there’s been a noticeable emphasis — in many frameworks, including astrology — on re-evaluation rather than action.

Not a push to overhaul life, but an invitation to notice what keeps repeating.

Astrological interpretations of this period often point to themes of review, consolidation, and restructuring — not quick change, but becoming more aware of what’s already in motion. And that mirrors what we see in the body.

Patterns don’t usually shift because we decide harder. They shift when familiar responses become visible enough to be met differently.

Sometimes the work isn’t to change the situation, but to notice how the same response keeps showing up — and where there might be room for a quieter, more sustainable adjustment.

Over the next few days, you might simply notice which responses feel most familiar to you, and where a different response might be possible.

A small reflection for the weekend.

When pressure builds, many of us fall into familiar loops. The same frustration, the same reaction, the same outcome.

Jobs, families, responsibilities and history are often layered and complex. Sometimes the place where change is available isn’t the situation — it’s in the response.

Noticing the familiar pattern is often the first step. From there, even a small shift in how you meet it can change the whole experience.

Many of the patterns we repeat aren’t chosen consciously.

They’re shaped by the nervous system’s preference for what is already mapped, familiar, and energetically efficient.

Once a response has been used enough times, it becomes easier to access than a new one — even when it’s no longer helpful. This doesn’t mean the body is stuck, it means the system is using what it knows costs the least energy.

Change happens not by forcing a different outcome, but by offering a new response often enough that it becomes familiar.

The work I do supports the body to access new responses at an unconscious level, rather than relying on effort or willpower.

04/02/2026

Sometimes the body finds change difficult because familiar patterns cost less energy than the unknown.

Familiar patterns, even uncomfortable ones, are often more efficient than new responses.

What tends to support real change isn’t force or intensity, but recognition.

Small adjustments often land better than big declarations.
Consistency matters more than intensity.
Repetition builds familiarity — and familiarity reduces resistance.

Hello, and a warm welcome to those of you who’ve joined this page recently.

My name is Tanya.

I live in the south-west of Western Australia with my partner. I’m an empty nester now with two adult children, two grandchildren, and an over-enthusiastic staffy grand-dog who comes for sleepovers.

Before this work, I spent most of my adult life in public-facing roles. The most challenging of those was more than a decade with the Australian Public Service. By the time I resigned, I was exhausted in ways that didn’t resolve with rest. My weight had dropped, panic attacks had crept in, and enjoyment felt oddly out of reach.

What followed wasn’t a clean pivot, but a long, sometimes frustrating process of trying to understand what was actually going on.

Medical testing showed multiple deficiencies. I worked with a naturopath to rebuild gut health. I saw physiotherapists and chiropractors for pain that didn’t seem to shift. I tried acupuncture, yoga, breathwork, meditation. I trained in Reiki. I explored various energy-based practices — some helpful, some less so.

Eventually, I booked in with a kinesiologist, mostly out of curiosity. I didn’t expect much.
Within a few sessions, something changed — not dramatically, but noticeably. Enough that I decided to learn the modality myself.

I went on to complete an Advanced Diploma of Functional Kinesiology, graduating in 2019, and later trained in Spinal Flow. Along the way, I also spent several years receiving Network Chiropractic care and somatic breathwork, which further shaped how I understand the body and its patterns.

The work I do now is informed by all of that — not because I believe in trying everything, but because lived experience has taught me how layered stress, pain, and adaptation patterns can be.

This page isn’t here to promise quick fixes or dramatic transformations.
It’s a place for observations, education, and gentle ways of understanding how the body responds to life — especially when it’s been under strain for a long time.

If you’re new here, you’re welcome to say hello in the comments and share a little about what brought you to this page, if you feel comfortable.

I’m glad you’re here.

As January comes to a close, here’s a simple pause you can take anywhere:

Let your feet press gently into the ground or the floor.
Notice the contact for a few seconds.
Then take one slow breath in, and a longer breath out.

Small moments like this help the body register that it’s safe to slow down — even briefly.

30/01/2026

January doesn’t need to end with conclusions or resolutions.

Sometimes it’s enough to recognise that a foundation has been laid — quietly, gradually, without force.

Stability isn’t always visible.
But it’s often felt.

28/01/2026

Regulation isn’t a one-off event.

It’s an ongoing relationship with the body — shaped by how we rest, move, breathe, and respond to challenge over time.

February will naturally invite a little more outward energy.
Having a steady base makes that transition much easier.
