Watching this makes me cry 🥹

This little girl was so dysregulated when we met her that she couldn’t come into the clinic in the first two weeks without going into a full body meltdown - with the most intense screaming I have ever heard in a young child.

She was so untrusting and wound up, that we had moments when we questioned if we could help her.

But Mum is the epitome of a saint - and continued to drive for 2.5 hours each way, three times per week because she believed in us.

So, we spent two weeks in the hallway, on the floor as she clung to Mum to be treated - because we were determined to change the trajectory her childhood was headed!

And this is today, 10 weeks later.. 😍

She ran into the clinic this morning, around the reception desk and into my lap for a cuddle and chat.

This work changes lives - not just for the child, but for every single member of the family.

Parents deserve to know, there is a powerful alternative! 💫

Everyone thought we were crazy…
 
To wind down and eventually close our Melbourne practice at the height of its success…

To move to a state where we knew nobody and had no jobs!
 
And despite all the obstacles, we knew it was the best thing that was ever going to happen to us.
 
Because it forced us to take a leap out of our comfort zones, get crystal clear on what we stand for and the impact we want to make in the world.
 
So we built it from scratch…
 
First it was a small shop front on Gold Coast Hwy so we could test the waters and see how many people would resonate with what we do.
 
And within 10 months, our work was transforming lives.

It was the very thing that people were searching for, but hadn’t been able to find.
 
And as a result, our patient base grew exponentially each month. People started travelling from interstate to undergo our protocols and we were bursting at the seams.
 
So we made the decision to do the very thing we swore we would never do again – build a purpose built practice from scratch and go all in.
 
In March we opened to doors to our dream practice that has the potential to impact 10,000’s of lives from all over Australia (and after this weekend & Ashley’s paediatric certification – maybe even the world).

We were told by Dr. Tony Ebel of just yesterday that 20,000 Australian parents are searching for hope through his website every single month - because the options being presented to them by the “system” lack answers, resonance and a clear path to healing.

And we are not prepared to stand by and watch that happen when we know the magic that we hold in our hands to change their lives.
 
So here we are – Certified by Life University with Advanced Paediatric Credentials and part of the worldwide directory of less than 300 practices who are trained in this life changing work, with the ability to care for really unwell kids from all over the country through an “intensive program of care.”

Today is a full circle moment as we realise the something bigger that we were searching for - is bigger than we could have imagined! 💫

Your child isn’t broken - they are dysregulated!

If you’ve been told your child will “grow out of it” or your concerns dismissed as “just bad luck” - we know how exhausting and isolating that feels.

Here’s the truth no doctor is telling you:

Constant meltdowns, poor sleep, recurring illness, digestive troubles, emotional storms, sensory issues and focus struggles - are not random symptoms.

They are red flags of a nervous system stuck in stress and overwhelm.

And when their nervous system is stuck, nothing can function the way it’s designed to.

The good news:

When we address the root cause = nervous system dysregulation - these kids go from “getting by” to “thriving in life” with:

Better focus
Calmer emotions
Stronger immunity
Restful sleep
More confidence

What we do at This Is Life is not about silencing symptoms. It’s about unlocking the potential your child has to thrive in health.

Mum - you are not crazy.

If you feel something is off, you’re right to look deeper.

📌 Save this post and share it with the parent who’s still searching for answers.

Because no family should be left without hope or a path to healing.

Every kid deserves better!

This one needs to be said 📣

The system is churning out practitioners who are trained to chase symptoms with cookie cutter approaches and basic philosophy.

And the result = basic practitioners, delivering basic results.

At This Is Life we have made it our mission to build entire models of care on what truly matters -

📣 Cutting edge research
📣 Neurological wizardry
📣 State of the art diagnostic tools and proceses
📣 And an unwavering belief that the body holds the power to heal

This is not mainsteam Chiropractic.

It’s a whole new standard.

And its the difference between short term relief and life changing transformation.

Thanks to the functional medicine doctor in Brisbane who told Mum to seek out a Neurologically Focused Chiropractor to help this little angel with her nervous system.

This is the power of healing the nervous system first with our life changing protocols!

Everything shifts and in a powerful way! 🥹

Every day I’m becoming more aware - just how disempowered and uneducated people are about their health and healing potential.

Most people think they know what Chiropractors do…

Unfortunately most of time they are incredibly misinformed.

❌ They think it’s about “cracking backs.”
❌ They think it’s about “fixing pain.”
❌ They think it’s only for adults with sore necks.

Here’s the truth: Neurologically focused Chiropractic care isn’t about bones, joints or muscles - it’s about brain to body communication and the foundation of health – your nervous system.

Your spine is the switchboard for your nervous system. When it’s overloaded, misfiring, or stuck in stress mode, your body can’t develop, regulate, heal, or thrive the way it’s designed to.

That’s why so many health struggles:
headaches and migraines, sleep issues, digestive challenges, emotional regulation or mood challenges, cognitive challenges, focus, memory or learning challenges and even chronic pain..

Aren’t just “problems to treat.”

They are signals from a nervous system that’s chronically dysfunctional, and the truth is- it can’t get out of on its own.

Conventional medicine teaches you to chase symptoms.

We show you to how restore function.

After 38 years in practice, here’s what we know for certain:

➡️Conventional medical approaches are letting people down in unprecented numbers.
➡️We have a growing health crisis - people are getting sicker with more complex and multi-facted issues than ever before.
➡️Our bodies were never designed to process the amount of stress we are subjected to on a daily basis.
➡️Kids don’t “grow out of” health issues - they grow into bigger ones.
➡️Healing doesn’t happen when you suppress symptoms. It happens when you powerfully regulate the nervous system.

And that’s why we exist!

To give people hope, answers and empowered health choices. Because god knows, the world needs more change makers and thought leaders to stand up and turn the tide.

This is something we witness in practice every day!

I’m constantly talking to potential patients who are frustrated, lost and overwhelmed.

They have done everything asked of them by doctors, specialists and even other practitioners.

But it hasn’t worked, and in many cases - has made them worse!

Today we explore the science behind why doing less and in the right order is absolutely vital when attempting to heal complex and chronic health issues.

As a parent, it’s time to trust your gut.

If your child is displaying signs of struggle when it comes to their health or behavioural development, the focus should not be on “wait and see if your child will outgrow” their current struggles.

Because they reality is they don’t outgrow the challenge, they grow into bigger ones.

Instead we should be empowering parents with education and root cause solutions, that give their kids the best chance at recovery, regardless of their age.

One of the most powerful and transformative ways to do that is through neurologically focused paediatric chiropractic care that is obsessed with the foundation of your child’s health – their nervous system.

Every single child deserves the best chance at truly thriving: sleeping soundly, digesting with ease, resilient to illness, engaging happily and regulating their emotions.

That doesn’t have to be wishful thinking. That is the by-product of a nervous system functioning with resilience, adaptability and ease, and it’s what we do in our practice every single day.

Your clean diet, daily workouts, meditation practice and supplement protocol doesn’t stand a chance if your nervous system is chronically dysregulated and can’t do its job!

This is a story we hear every single day from new patients..

Exhausted — but you can’t sleep!
Body aches — but bloods are normal!
Anxious & Overwhelmed - but no one can tell you why!

So you push through.
You adapt.
You try to manage the pain, the fatigue, the fog and the stress.

But deep down, you know that isn’t how your body was designed to feel & you are absolutely right!

Here’s what most people — and most practitioners — are missing 🔗

Nervous system dysregulation is so often the real reason your body feels like it’s constantly in survival mode.

So, if you can relate to today’s content piece and you have been told “everything looks fine”…

But you know something is missing — you are not crazy and it’s not “all in your head.”

It’s really likely that your nervous system is dysregulated and unfortuantely it can’t get out of it on it’s own!

So, if you are ready for a new standard of holistic health care — one that finally makes sense of what you’ve been feeling..
