Something so simple, yet so easy to forget. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day supports everything from joint lubrication to digestion, energy levels, and muscle recovery.
Next time you're reaching for a coffee, try a glass of lemon water first. Your body will thank you.

🎄 As the holiday season wraps us in its festive embrace, remember that your wellbeing matters most.

While this time of year brings joy, it can also bring tension to our bodies - from shopping marathons to kitchen prep, or simply carrying the weight of a busy mind.

Here's your gentle reminder to:

Take mindful breaks between festivities
Listen to your body's signals
Keep moving, even if it's just a short walk
Maintain good posture while cooking or wrapping gifts

Your body supports you through every moment - gift it some thought and care this Christmas.

Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful, pain-free holiday season. 🎁✨

Remember, I am here if you need support during the festive period.

January Therapeutic Movement Workshops

Workshop one:
Creating energy for your new year intentions. We need energy to think, move, sleep, process, heal and pursue our goals. Our emotions are energy in motion. We have all experienced the ease of doing things when topped up or full of joy versus the challenge of completing similar tasks with low energy or feeling down. During this workshop you will discover ways to influence your nervous system to create the energy to kick goals in 2024. You will explore techniques to increase energy to fuel your dreams and achieve, balance your energy to focus and process and calm your energy to rest and repair. There will be time to reflect on the energy drainers (fear, clutter, overthinking, dehydration, gossiping, people pleasing) and if these habits or behaviours could be replaced with energy creators (love, sunlight, being present, hydration, movement, boundaries). You will leave with tools that can help you shift your energy state and improve your overall health and well-being.

This 3 hr workshop will be offered from my Eltham studio and online via Zoom on:
Saturday 13th January 9am to 12pm and
Saturday 13th January 1pm to 4pm

Workshop two:
The five key elements to postural and efficient movement. Do you want to feel strong in 2024? Having awareness of your posture, breath and alignment are the essential building blocks to creating ease of movement. During this workshop you will explore ways to find, hold and create awareness of your centre. From your centre, movement is efficient and ease-full, with your body no longer striving or directing energy towards compensatory patterns. You will develop understanding and then experience the impact your posture has on your ability to squat, with time to reflect on what postural patterns are draining you both physically and mentally. You will leave with tools to help you find your centre lying, sitting, standing and lifting.

This 3 hr workshop will be offered from my Eltham studio and online via Zoom on:
Saturday 20th January 9am to 12pm and
Saturday 20th January 1pm to 4pm

Exchange for each workshop is $50 or $90 for the two.
