Mindful Living Matters

Mindful Living Matters Join me on a journey into happiness, health and harmony.

Through the practice of yoga, aikido and meditation you will discover that true happiness is a mind set, health is about how you treat your body and harmony is your soul's journey. I am passionate about bringing my clients a sense of relaxation and assisting to relieve the physical pain of life. Through the body I help my clients understand their emotions, release physical discomfort and move easier. My signature program is the Moon Within program which brings women to a point of feeling more positive and relaxed with their bodies ultimately helping them connect with their mind, body and soul, their menstrual cycles and transition into the next phase of their life whether it is pregnancy, motherhood or menopause. Based in Petrie I hold regular group classes or one-on-one sessions using mindfulness tools, yoga, meditation, shiatsu, oriental remedial therapies (cupping, acupressure, gua sha, moxibustion) to treat a variety of life issues. Contact me to share your journey and discuss how I can help you relax, move easier, feel more balanced in life, be happier and healthier then ever before.

Relaxation leds to wellbeing.

It helps us develop awareness for the things that make us unwell. More importantly relaxation trchniques can support us to shed those things that make us unwell without effort.

How?

If we are consistently practicing relaxation, we naturally move away from those things that are making us unwell.

One of my favourite and most relaxing yoga poses is legs up the wall. Not only can it physical benefit the body (reduce swelling in the feet) it is a game changer for your nervous system.

There are some precautions with this one such as being over 3 months pregnant.

If you want to learn more about relaxatiin and your wellbeing drop me a message.

There are many reasons why Shiatsu works.

The intentional, constant pressure of shiatsu is perhaps the most simplest to understand. We see it, we feel it and we experience some of the benefits almost immediately.

From relaxing physically, to regulating emotions and releasing unconscious patterns, shiatsu supports us on levels.

I am looking forward to returning to the treatment room in December. It is not only therapuetic for the receiver but highly beneficial for the therapist. I cannot wait to experience the mediative benefits of connecting with that internal energetic sensation that comes from being in the trratment room once more.

I am fully booked in December but have space in January if you are still sitting on the fence about whether you wish to book in. Contact the team Zen Chi Natural Therapies in North Lakes to schedule for some therapuetic touch.

Or feel free to reach out here for more information on how the modalities I offer can support you.

Good morning, beautiful souls. Everything looks purple-pink right now. Must be a special day on the rise.

It is a perfect day to remember to do what matters for you! Find love, receive love, give love, be love.

Take a mindful moment. Do what feels right!

It's all about consent!

Have you ever been in a yoga class and had the teacher come up and 'correct' your alignment?

Or perhaps you have been having a treatment with a therapist who suddenly starts sticking needles into you or putting cups all over your back?

In either situation, had you given consent? Did you and the instructor/therapist have a conversation beforehand about it?

Consent is for every type of relationship you have. Just because you signed your waiver and consent form before you started a class or got on the treatment table doesn't mean your therapist has full consent. Every single time you enter that room, you and your therapist or instructor should have a conversation about what will go on. Even if they need to update during the session.

A simple pause of the treatment, reassess, get permission, and then proceed will only take a minute. It will not interrupt the flow or you Zen. In fact, it will enhance it. No surprises, just permission to change the treatment.

As for in a yoga class, your instructor can do a quick check before class who is open for adjustments (and hopefully explain what that means) or ask before touching you. Again, a simple question will not interrupt your flow.

Feel free to comment or leave your thoughts on consent in the yoga or treatment room below.

Image of one of my furbabies who rarely consents to photos and sometimes even cuddles being taken. This morning she helped me in my practice and I really appreciated her presence.

Did you know shiatsu is a holistic treatment suitable for everybody?

It is a gentle, effective treatment that works on the root cause of the problems at all levels of being. Shiatsu will relieve physical symptoms such as headache, sciatica, and shoulder and neck pain and is beneficial for many ailments. Working on an energetic and emotional level makes shiatsu an all-around treatment. I love it as both a practitioner and client.

Quite often, I am using shiatsu practices in my daily life, including self-massage techniques.

June is Shiatsu Awareness Month. I would love to share a few things about my journey with this therapy.

I was introduced to shiatsu about 20 years ago while I was an Aikido student.

It took me 10 years before I went back to college and got my Diploma in Shiatsu and Oriental Remedial Therapies.

While i am not actively practising on clients, I am using the principles everyday on myself.

Shiatsu is a therapy that supports individuals in a holistic way, tapping into the root cause of a problem and showing you the pathway to natural healing. It can be used with other forms of therapy or can be used exclusively as a standalone therapy.

If you want to hear anything specific about Shiatsu, let me know, and I will share more about this amazing therapy.
