Hi all, this week is Women’s Health Week, and one of the themes is Take the Lead - a message I feel strongly about.

Your voice and your health are worth listening to.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, told you’re “just stressed,” “just hormonal,” or brushed off as overreacting, please know this: your concerns are valid. Your body deserves to be taken seriously. And you don’t have to settle for being ignored.

If you can, change providers. Research, ask questions, and find someone who will actually hear you - even if it means looking beyond your local area. And if the behaviour is unprofessional, report it. Enough is enough.

I know how disheartening it feels to walk out of an appointment unheard. It’s one of the reasons I do the work I do.

I help women who are exhausted, stuck in cycles of cravings, food guilt, stress, or overwhelm. Many arrive having been told their tests look “normal,” yet they still don’t feel well. Some use food as a way to cope, only to be left with shame or self-blame.

My role is to break that cycle with a kind, practical, non-judgemental approach. I help women rebuild their foundations, rediscover food without guilt, and find stress-reducing practices that fit into real life.

This isn’t about strict plans or chasing perfection. It’s about learning to trust yourself again, creating calmer rhythms in your body, and building habits that actually last.
If you’re tired of being dismissed or stuck in cycles that don’t serve you, you don’t have to do this alone.

Book a free chat with me today - let’s say yes to you, starting now.

Welcome to Women’s Health Week (1–5 September) - Australia’s largest annual celebration dedicated to the health and wellbeing of women, girls, and gender-diverse people.

This year’s theme “Say Yes to You” is a powerful reminder to reclaim your wellbeing, affirm your right to care, and make yourself a priority.

Because when women are supported, everyone benefits.

Let’s lean into the week together with small but meaningful steps designed to honour your body, voice, heart, and mind.

Today’s theme is Take the Lead, and it’s all about advocating for yourself and speaking up when it comes to your health.

Have you ever walked out of a health appointment thinking your concerns weren’t really taken seriously? Maybe you were told it was “just stress” or “just hormones.”

That kind of dismissal can make you doubt yourself and even stop you from seeking help again.

But you know your body best.

True advocacy starts with clarity. That’s why I encourage the women I work with to tune into the patterns they notice - whether it’s energy dips, digestive changes, mood shifts, cravings, or the way stress shows up in their body.

When you can connect the dots, you walk into appointments with language and evidence. Instead of “I just don’t feel right,” you can say, “Here’s what I’ve noticed, here’s when it happens, and this is the support I need.”

That confidence changes everything. It helps you get the answers, tests, or referrals you deserve - and it reminds you that your voice matters in every conversation about your health.

If you’re ready for a different approach - one that’s non-judgemental, caring, and focused on helping you feel supported while you take the lead in your health - I’d love to explore what’s possible for you.

Head to www.emmaanderson.com.au to learn more or book your free chat with me.

Let’s say yes to you - starting today.

Hello, how's your week going? I'm loving this rain (but not the lack of sunshine). There's just something about the sun that puts a smile on my face and a spring in my step. I'm looking forward to longer days too - are you too?

I just wanted to pop on here as we approach the end of the month, and the end of Winter (hooray), to encourage you to take some time to reflect on your month, and on what it means for you, personally, to nourish yourself.

Have you found that mainstream wellness loves to talk about nourishment - but only in terms of food?

Eat the “right” thing.
Cut out the “wrong” thing.
Stick to the plan - even if you’re tired, stressed, or emotionally wiped out.

But real nourishment is so much more than a set of food rules.
It’s how you feed your body - yes - but also how you care for your emotional health, your nervous system, your body, your family and friendships, your spirituality and more...

For example, for you it may be:

◾Sleep that brings you energy the next day - so you’re not snapping at the kids around dinner-time or pouring another coffee just to stay upright.

◾Movement that feels like freedom, not punishment - not counting reps or minutes, just reconnecting with your body in a way that feels good.

◾Connection with people who genuinely listen and care about you - not drained by one-sided conversations or “catch-ups” you quietly dread.

◾Food that fills your belly and your spirit - not something you eat while standing over the sink, feeling guilty, or rushing on to the next thing.

◾Stillness - even if it’s just 3 minutes in the car before walking back inside - where you can be with yourself, without needing to earn the pause.

Nourishment isn’t measured in macros or steps.

And yet, so many women I work with feel deeply undernourished -in invisible ways. They eat well, move often, do all the “healthy” things...

But they’re still tired.
Still snappy.
Still wondering why they don’t feel better.

Not because they’re failing.

But because wellness was never meant to be just about food.

So today, I want to gently offer you this question to reflect on: Where are you undernourished right now?

Is it sleep?
Rest?
Laughter?
Connection?
A moment to breathe that isn’t tied to productivity?

You don’t need to overhaul your life. You don’t need a perfect routine. You just need a place to start - and support that honours your reality.

That’s exactly why I created my 12-month Nutrition, Mindset & Stress Reduction coaching program.

It’s not about a rigid system or a quick fix.
It’s not about ticking boxes or chasing perfection.

It’s about…
- Building a peaceful relationship with food
- Restoring energy without guilt
- Supporting your nervous system
- Making room for pleasure, joy and rest
- Holding space for stress, identity shifts, and emotional wellbeing
- Creating sustainable change through nourishment that actually fits your life

If you’re craving a different kind of nourishment - the kind that lasts because it’s real and doable - you’re invited to learn more below:

Hello, I hope you've had a lovely weekend. I just wanted to share with you all that I've just created a BRAND NEW 14 Week 1:1 Individual Coaching Package for those who are interested in working with me one on one. Hooray!

I've had some requests for this as some people don't feel comfortable working in a group space, others want more time with me, and others don't require the full 12-months coaching or the program, so I'm hoping this can help to meet this need. (I'll share more about my group coaching offer later this week for those interested).

You can read about my 1:1 offer on my newly updated website (sneak peek cropped photo in post). And if you have any questions, please feel free to message me.

Go to www.emmaanderson.com.au or click on the link in my bio, as that will also take you to my website.

Thank you, Em xx

Hi all, I hope you're going well, and if you've had the kids home for school holidays, I hope you're all feeling organised for them to head back this week. For those of you who've had a busy holiday time, juggling work and kids at home, or had the whole time with them, it might be time to book a massage 😉

Rubes and I enjoyed some quality time together cooking, building homes and furnishing them in Minecraft (although I personally love going mining), lots of singing - we really got back into Hamilton with the 10 year Disney recording celebration, and had some little trips out and about. I feel like I've neeeearly settled back into a groove with my coaching program and university studies and have found a balance of my time for both productivity and rest!

My remaining appointment times for July reflect this, so please see below for remaining 1hr Remedial, Deep Tissue, Pregnancy and Relaxation treatments. Any questions please let me know,

Hi everyone - I’ve been quiet here on socials of late - but I’ve been full steam ahead working in my massage business, updating my Nutrition, Mindset, Stress Reduction Program so it flows for the 12 months (instead of 14 weeks) and creating my Food Freedom Masterclass Series for you.

In between this Ruby has started at a new school, and I’ve started back at university, so my social media presence has taken a back seat (for now).

And now it’s school holidays!

So, I’m just touching base here to say hello to you all, to let you know I’m still here - just not as active as I was a few months ago.

I’ll share some recipes and some encouragement for you over the coming week.

And how are you all going? I’d love to know. Take care,

Em xx

Hi all, just checking in - how have you all been going? I have been a bit more quiet than usual here on socials due to my household all being crook with cold and flu symptoms, but thankfully we're all back to work and school now!

Hi all, when you’re juggling so many moving parts - work, family, everyone else’s needs... then your stress doesn’t always hit you like a tidal wave. More often, it builds quietly in the background until you’re running on empty without realising it.

You might find yourself becoming more irritable, even when you’re trying to stay calm. Maybe you burst into tears in the pantry, or lie awake at night while your mind races through everything you didn’t get done.

You’re exhausted, but wired. Present, but overwhelmed. And even though you keep going, (because that’s what women do) - it feels like no one’s really asking how you are underneath it all.

And when you do open up? You’re told to “just take a bath,” “to push through,” or “manage your time better.”

But you don’t need more advice from people who don’t live your life.

What you actually need, and deserve, is a safe space to exhale. A space where you can unpack what’s really going on, without fear of judgement. Somewhere that honours your full experience - the mental load, the emotional labour, the physical exhaustion - instead of minimising it.

That’s what I offer in my coaching.

This isn’t another program that tells you to hustle harder, try harder, or fix yourself.

It’s a space to get curious, not critical. Where you can reconnect with yourself - your body, your needs, your energy - without trying to fit someone else’s idea of what health “should” look like.

We explore what stress actually looks and feels like in your body, in a way that respects your reality. Not an ideal version of it, not a version that demands perfection or unrealistic changes - but the one you’re living in right now.

Because I believe that lasting change doesn’t come from pressure. It comes from feeling safe enough to ask: what do I really need?

If this sounds like the kind of support you need, I’d love to invite you to join the waitlist (link in comments) for my 12-month Nutrition, Mindset & Stress Reduction Solution program. You’ll be the first to know when applications open.

Hi all, today, on the 4th of June, we celebrate National Cheese Day – but for those of us who’ve spent years navigating food sensitivities, or are starting to develop intolerances, this day can bring mixed emotions.

Growing up at home, my family and I would try to restrict the foods that clearly flared my eczema – and cow dairy was a big one. But this was back in the 80s and 90s in a small regional town, where access to food alternatives was extremely limited. There weren’t a lot of options, and there definitely wasn’t much school support or positive peer conversations around food intolerances.

As a child, I remember going to Pizza Hut birthday parties where every other kid was piling their plates high with cheesy pizza. I’d smile and do the same, not because it made me feel good, but because I didn’t want to stand out. I didn’t want to be “that kid” who couldn’t eat what everyone else was eating.

As a young adult, it was the same story: dinner parties, wine and cheese nights, grazing platters. I was surrounded by friends who could comfortably enjoy those foods, while I knew the cost of that blue or sharp cheddar.

But instead of speaking up, I’d eat it anyway.

That fear of being different often spoke louder than the voice in my body saying, “This isn’t working for me.”

I’d put up with the aftermath (the itchy skin, the red cheeks, the sleepless nights scratching my arms and legs), rather than draw attention to myself or feel like I didn’t belong.

And honestly? I think a lot of us have done this in one way or another.

If you’ve ever eaten or drank something your body clearly didn’t agree with just to avoid standing out or being the “awkward one,” I see you.

Thankfully, today things look a lot different. Thanks to the growing range of dairy-free options available, those of us struggling, have so. many. choices!

There's brands and products we trust, along with our choices of restaurants and cafes with alternatives that are delicious. Personally, I have supportive family, friends, and there's absolutely a more open culture around food preferences and needs.

At home, I stick to the versions of cheese that work for my body. And when I’m out at for dinner or special event, I give myself permission to choose what feels best. That might mean opting for dairy-free choices, or sometimes enjoying a small amount of something I really love and can tolerate.

There’s flexibility now. There’s agency. And that has changed everything. Because here’s the thing: cheese doesn’t have to be off the table. It just looks a little different.

Here are a few of my favourites that don’t leave me feeling uncomfortable or unwell that you may like to try:

💚 Goat’s cheese – my absolute favourite. Naturally lower in lactose and much easier on my digestion. I don’t get flushed or itchy while eating it, and there’s no eczema that follows.

💚 Cashew-based cheeses – these are creamy, tangy, and surprisingly satisfying. I love eating them with crackers or stirring them into a pasta sauce with dairy-free milk and nutritional yeast.

💚 Plant-based shreds or melts – these are great for those who need to be fully dairy-free or vegan. They work well in toasties, pizzas, and melts without triggering my usual reactions.

💚 Lactose-free hard cheeses – some hard cheeses like parmesan are naturally lower in lactose, and there are now plenty of options clearly labelled for sensitivities.

Whether you avoid cow cheese completely, enjoy it in small amounts, or are simply exploring some new alternatives, there likely is a version of cheese that can work for you. We don't have to live in restriction to feel well.

And if you’ve ever felt like you “shouldn’t” or “can’t” enjoy something because of your body’s needs, I want to gently remind you: there is usually another way.

It’s not about being perfect or always following a rigid food plan. It’s about building trust with your body and making choices that serve your well-being.

For me, part of that journey meant unlearning the shame I felt around food.
For years, I internalised the message that I was “difficult” or “fussy”.
I believed that needing different food made me a burden.

But I’ve learned to rewrite that story.

So, if you’re reading this and you’ve been navigating your own food sensitivities or allergies – or maybe you’re just trying to figure out what actually works for you – know that you’re not alone. It can take time.

It can bring up old feelings. But you can build a way of eating that nourishes both your body and your life. So, here’s to cheese that doesn’t leave you itchy, bloated or running to the toilet, and here's to making empowered choices and to letting go of shame around what your body needs.

Em xx

P.S. Inside my Nutrition, Mindset & Stress Reduction coaching program, I help women unlearn the pressure of “eating perfectly,” build a more flexible and sustainable relationship with food, and find personalised approaches that support their body and joy. If that sounds like the kind of support you need, join the waitlist in comments below.

01/06/2025

Hi all, now that we’ve come to the end of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, I’ve been reflecting on some of the conversations I’ve had recently - with clients and with women in my community.

One thing that keeps surfacing is just how much mental energy food can take up - not just what to eat or how to eat, but how we feel about what we eat.

I was reminded of this while watching an episode of Good Chef, Bad Chef the other day. You’ve probably seen it - two chefs side by side, one presenting the “good” version of a dish, the other leaning into more traditional or indulgent ingredients. It’s meant to be light-hearted.

I actually enjoy this show, but when the host turned to the camera and said, “Don’t tell the kids the muffins are healthy - just tell them there’s choc chips in them and they’ll eat it,” something about that didn’t sit right with me.

As a mum, and as someone who works with families, I believe we shouldn’t have to hide food to get kids to eat it. When we disguise what’s in their food, we’re unintentionally sending the message that nutritious food isn’t enjoyable or worth choosing unless it’s hidden.

It teaches them to distrust food - and sometimes even to distrust the adults offering it.

Instead, I believe we can raise kids who feel confident, curious, and comfortable around all kinds of foods - not just the ones wrapped in trickery.

Also, the idea that one style of eating is automatically “good” while the other is “bad” - based solely on ingredients - felt not only outdated, but quietly damaging.

Because when we label food as good or bad, clean or naughty, allowed or off-limits, we’re not just talking about the food.

We start applying those labels to ourselves:
“I was good today - I didn’t eat carbs.”
“I was bad yesterday - I had dessert.”
“I completely blew it - I’ll start again Monday.”

And when that kind of internal commentary becomes automatic, it’s not just a nutrition issue - it’s a mental health issue.

Food turns into something we have to get right.

Every choice becomes a test. We question our hunger. We feel guilty for eating what we actually wanted.

We carry the stress of trying to “undo” decisions we didn’t even enjoy.

That pressure - that invisible mental load - is something so many women are carrying daily.

And it’s not just exhausting.
It’s anxiety-inducing.

It’s deeply connected to self-worth, to body image, to how safe we feel in our own skin.

But it doesn’t have to stay this way. There’s a different path forward.

One rooted not in rules or restriction - but in self-compassion, flexibility, and a more peaceful relationship with food.

If you’d like to take a moment to reflect on your own experience this past month, here are a few questions you’re welcome to think about, journal on, or simply sit with for a while:

💚 Has the way I’ve been thinking or speaking about food felt kind - or critical?

💚 Do food choices often come with guilt, stress, or second-guessing?

💚 Have I felt like I need to earn or justify what I eat?

💚 Is the way I’ve been approaching food supporting my mental health - or adding to my overwhelm?

There's no right or wrong answers here - just insight. And insight is where real, gentle change begins.

If you’re ready to explore a more supported, sustainable approach to food and wellbeing - this is exactly the kind of work we do inside my Nutrition, Mindset & Stress Reduction coaching program.

It’s designed for women who are ready to step away from food rules, rebuild self-trust, and feel more at ease in their bodies - with practical tools and compassionate support every step of the way.

Hi all, I thought I'd share this veggie bake to give you some inspiration during these colder nights we're now starting to have here locally!

This family dinner has minimal clean up (but lots of flavour) and is great if we want something hearty but not hard. It's also one of those meals I turn to when the fridge has bits of veg to use up, so feel free to add in or swap other veg out. Keep this as a vego dish, or feel free to cook your meat protein of choice to serve with it.

Em xx

P.S. – if you’re looking for more ways to simplify food without sacrificing nourishment, this is exactly the kind of meal I love sharing inside my Nutrition, Mindset & Stress Reduction Coaching Program.

It’s about taking the pressure off, building habits that work for real life, while still enjoying food that feels comforting and satisfying. The next round is opening soon - see the comments below for the link to join.

Roasted Vegetable Bake:

Prep time: 20 mins | Cook time: 1 hour | Serves: 4 (or 6 if using it as a side dish)
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt & cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 red capsicum, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 yellow capsicum, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 250g cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 zucchini, finely chopped
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 3 tbsp fresh basil, roughly torn
- 300g pasta of your choice
- 150g mozzarella cheese of our choice
- 2 tbsp basil pesto (of your choice)

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. In a large roasting pan or deep baking dish, toss the capsicums, mushrooms, zucchini and red onion with the olive oil.

2. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 45 minutes, stirring once or twice, until tender and golden.

3. After 45 minutes, add the cherry tomatoes, tinned tomatoes, crushed garlic, and basil to the pan. Stir gently and return to the oven for another 12 minutes to let the flavours come together.

4. While the sauce finishes roasting, cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 8 minutes.

5. Drain the pasta and stir it into the roasted veg sauce. Add the mozzarella and pesto, then gently stir together until combined.

6. Sprinkle with parmesan and return to the oven for 10 more minutes, until golden and bubbly on top.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Mount Gambier?

Welcome

Hi there,

My name is Emma and I am a Diploma qualified Remedial Massage Therapist and Health Practitioner (Bach HSc Nutrition & Psychology) in Mount Gambier, South Australia. I am part of an association so I can give health fund receipts from the majority of health funds. I have my own private practice and look after my clients from Wednesday to Saturdays over varying hours. I am not currently taking on any new massage clients, however if you would like to be added to my wait list please feel free to message me.

Although I specialise in remedial massage - to reduce pain in specific areas, to relieve sore muscles and to break down knots, I also offer the following treatments:

Relaxation treatments to help you destress and unwind

Pregnancy Treatment - this is a tailored massage using specific techniques to ensure mum and bubs and comfortable and safe. I use the brand Belly Pillows, so mums-to-be can lie comfortably on their stomach for the duration of their treatment

Tailored Aromatherapy Massages - using essential oils for relieving sore muscles, inflammation, headaches, etc, as well as massages to uplift or relax. After consulting with you, together we select oils that you love the smell of, and that are beneficial for your needs. I stock and use my own brand of certified organic essential oils, carrier oils and magnesium spray from the My Essentials range, and these are available to purchase either during an appointment or I can post to you Australia wide (contact me directly for any essential oil queries).

I help people to improve their health, especially those looking to reduce joint and muscle pain, relieve digestive issues, improve mood and fatigue or address any weight concerns they may have. I use mindset, diet, supplements, essential oils and lifestyle strategies to help my clients achieve this.

I also run my business in partnership with one of the world’s highest-rated nutritional supplements, USANA Health Sciences. As a qualified Nutritionist and Massage Therapist, I only use and recommend products that I trust enough to give to my young daughter, husband, my Mum and Dad, as well as sharing with my clients. The results have been fantastic!

For far too long, we’ve been inundated by negative messages about food, weight, and diet. We’ve been told that we’re willpower weaklings or that we need more control. The majority of nutrition experts promote conflicting advice. The result is people are confused about what to eat, and how to have a happy relationship with food and a healthy metabolism

Over at my other page - The My Essentials Club, I share my knowledge on these various aspects of health and aim to reduce this confusion surrounding nutrition. With a focus on sustainable and lasting changes, I help people to make these changes slowly, and by showing kindness and care to themselves, not through punishment, deprivation or guilt. Please follow along as I share important aspects of self-care, such as reducing stress and promoting positive mental health, improving our sleep, giving ourselves permission to rest, adding more nourishing foods and more movement into our lives.

In my professional practice, I combine many of the best strategies from nutrition science and eating psychology. By eliminating all the “shoulds and shouldn’ts”, I focus on what’s right for an individual’s body and their personal style. As I work with someone in this way, eating and health issues become a place of exploration. Instead of seeing such challenges as the enemy, they become opportunities for growth and self-improvement. In my training at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, I’ve learned to help clients reach their highest goals not by strategies that punish, but through strategies that nourish.

If you would like to book in with me for a free initial chat to talk through your main health concerns, please send me a message and I will get in touch with you. During this first chat I will get an understanding of your health concerns, and will recommend product, lifestyle or coaching services specific to help you meet your health goals, and then you can decide what products, lifestyle or coaching services you would like to invest in.

Please feel free to also check out my website www.gettingwellwithem.com (currently under a revamp), and connect over on Instagram. I look forward to getting you know you and supporting your health and wellbeing.
