If there was one thing I wish people understood about mental health, it would be this…

You never know who is struggling with their mental health.

Sometimes that person who looks like they have it all together, is struggling.
The high achieving person with goals and strategies; they can be struggling.
The kindest, most giving and seemingly unflappable person could be struggling.
That seemingly cold person who never shows their feelings could be struggling.
And that person who really looks like they’re struggling may really be struggling and need help.

So never assume someone is okay, or not okay, because you never know.
But you can ask, you can listen, you can empathise and give support. That could literally mean the world to someone.

To those struggling today, I see you and I’m here for you.
Mental illness sucks, and it’s not your fault.
If you’re in a crisis, please contact someone you trust, a medical professional; call a helpline (1800 011511) or emergency services if appropriate.

Your body doesn’t need fixing, it needs listening.

Tune into the messages your body is sending with a restorative massage.

It’s your invitation to let the world go by and focus instead on your body, with all the goodness a massage therapy session provides.

It is time you booked a massage?

Functional freeze is very real and just one type of shutdown state. Functional freeze is harder to identify at times, because essentially, someone in this state is still functioning (to some degree).

They’re showing up to work, looking after the kids, doing all the things. But inside, they’ve disassociated and zoned out, they can be stuck overthinking, feeling overwhelmed and often a sense of helpless.

You can’t you your way out of shutdown or functional freeze. This is our oldest form of self protection, which is to preserve as much of our life as we can while essentially submitting to the (real or perceived) threat.

💚 Gentleness is needed along with time and space.
🌤️ Warmth and heat may help.
🫂 Connection with others.
👀 Noticing sensations to bring one back into the here and now - textures, smells, sight, taste and sound.
🧍‍♀️Move from lying to sitting, or sitting to standing, supporting your body in standing tall and strong, to reclaim yourself.
⛺️A return to base camp; where you can reconnect with yourself, rediscover joy and gradually shift your way out of this state.

Your breath is amazing ✨

While everybody breathes, not everybody breathes well; and your breathing patterns have impacts throughout your body, not just on your breath.

That’s why I’m studying functional breathwork, because your breathing impacts your body. This way I can continue to help you beyond the studio walls, with even more science based techniques to support your health and wellbeing while living in this messy and stressy world.

That heaviness, the loud head, the brain fog or sense of being stuck doesn’t mean something is wrong with you; it’s your body talking to you, and your nervous system protecting you.

Taking a base camp day, or incorporating base camp elements within your day, is a great way to meet yourself where you’re at.

That may be;
⛺️ only doing what is necessary
⛺️ wearing comfy clothes, lazy hair, minimal makeup (if any)
⛺️ sunshine, nature, gentle movement
⛺️ expression through journalling, art or conversation
⛺️ connection with a trusted person, a pet or meaningful place
⛺️ time for things that bring you joy

Whatever your base camp looks like, after you spend some time there, I’m sure you’ll notice a difference in your body and mind.

Cut through the school holiday chaos with these 4 tools to regulate calm for adults and kids!

Because nervous system work isn’t just for adults, and, it isn’t just quiet meditative practices.

When you notice restlessness, irritability, or excessive excitement in your kids (or you) try one of these tools and see what happens;
1. Movement
2. Music and voice
3. Temperature
4. Play

I’m sure you’ll notice a difference in all of you.

Ahhh the human body, so amazingly designed that it will *literally* change itself to support what it thinks we need, regardless of whether that’s what we really need (or want).

Fascia alone will change its pattern and shape depending on what we do.
Sit in one position for an extended time?
Fascia will thicken and harden to support that position.
Move often and in different directions?
Fascia will loosen and allow glide to support beautiful movement.

I promised a workshop like no other, and that is exactly the experience we shared on Saturday at Pause and Renew.

Collectively and individually, we were able to pause.
To reconnect with our body and the present moment.
To learn a new understanding of stress through the nervous system lens.
To practice releasing stressful energy to restore a sense of calm; and, to bring in energy and movement to combat a sense of heaviness and hiding.
To breathe, be grateful and be present.
To renew.

Thank you to the beautiful souls who joined me, I am so grateful.
Thank you to my family for supporting me (and helping me set up and clean up), you are amazing.
Thank you to Alison from .yoga for your beautiful safe space.

To those who missed out and want to experience the renewal this workshop brings, I am already planning another one. Keep an eye on the socials or contact me directly to join the wait list.

I can’t wait to share these simple, effective and potentially life changing practices with more people.

Bobby the body has joined the studio to help us all understand just how connected our bodies are, with myofascial meridians.

Each colour of yarn represents a myofascial meridian (or myofascial track) that weaves throughout your bones, muscles and organs to connect everything together and support your movement.

How amazing is your body ✨
