How trainers set up for class… we run around for you 😅
Moving dumbbells, hauling slam balls, setting stations, resetting everything… before the session even starts.
I’m not just a Remedial Massage Therapist — I’m also a qualified PT.
20 hours of massage, 5 hours in the gym, then running the business… mentoring, finances, marketing, admin, WorkCover reports, emails, calls, programming, washing towels.
All alongside Leah, Brent (our coaches of Mind to Muscle Fitness), and Ellie and Kate, our current therapists.
Busy? Always. Worth it? Absolutely.

Treating my mentee Ellie.

Really proud of how Ellie is developing her technique - here I'm teaching her jaw and TMJ techniques.

Her precision and attention to detail she brings to every si gke session is genuinely impressive.

So much so, she is taking on Workers Comp Clients also.

Ellie is a qualified Sports Therapist with her official Remedial Massage Certification, and she is currently taking new clients. If you've been waiting to see Kate or myself, thus is the sign to book in with her - you won't be disappointed.

Ellie has the following spots available this week:

- Thu 23rd April - 10am / 11.15am / 12.3ppm / 1.45pm

Another day in clinic — this time working through hypersensitive feet.

Here I’m mentoring Ellie through the process. These clients aren’t about “going hard” — they’re about reading the nervous system, respecting sensitivity, and knowing how to create change without triggering more protection.

You’ll see how we start gently, build trust in the tissue, and gradually allow the foot to accept more input. It’s not just technique — it’s clinical reasoning.

This is something I’m really proud of in our clinic — our therapists don’t just come in fully formed. They go through a structured development process, learning how to move from unskilled → confident → capable of working with more complex clients.

Because the reality is, the clients we attract aren’t always straightforward. They need therapists who can think, adapt, and treat the person — not just follow a routine.

Real skill is built, not assumed.

Training in my 2XU compression tights lately and honestly… such a game changer.

They’re really light (which I love), and I was a bit worried they might go see-through on stretch… but as you can see — they hold up perfectly.

Today’s session was a bands class — all about activation, control, and form rather than training hard. Sometimes that’s exactly what your body needs.

A vascular specialist I saw, Associate Professor Laurencia Villalba, made a really important point — when you train, blood flow (and volume) to the legs increases. If you’ve already got vein damage, you don’t want to make them work harder without support… that extra pressure can stretch them further and make things worse. Compression helps support that system while you move.

For me, it’s about using tools that make me feel good, move well, stay consistent — while protecting my physiology.

Strong, supported, and still comfortable — that’s the goal.

Dressed up… with a little secret underneath 👗
Wearing my slim dress today — but underneath?

👉 25–30mmHg graduated compression tights (2XU)
Not going to lie… I actually struggled to find the right fit.

I measured into a medical grade petite length… but my calves said otherwise 🙃

That’s where 2XU came in:
✔️ Great material
✔️ Comfortable all day
✔️ Actually fits properly
✔️ Doesn’t feel “medical”
And here’s the thing most people don’t realise…
Compression isn’t just for “older people” or after surgery.

It’s a simple, everyday tool to support your body:
• Helps blood flow back to the heart (hello veins 👋)
• Reduces that heavy, achy leg feeling
• Supports fluid movement (lymphatic system)
• Can help prevent varicose veins from progressing
• Reduces risk factors linked to clotting & swelling

Wear the right thing — and it becomes an effortless habit.

For me, it’s now just part of my outfit… not something extra.
Your body is working hard for you all day —
sometimes it just needs a little support 💙

💙 THANK YOU PROBUS CLUB 💙

A big thank you to the Probus Club and the 75 amazing members who attended my Move Well, Age Well presentation last Thursday 🙌

I’m so grateful to have been invited to speak — and for such an engaged, welcoming group.

⏱ We spent 40 minutes together covering:
✨ A little about me
Including the question everyone’s thinking…
“Why is a 33-year-old talking about longevity?” 😂

🧠 Topic 1: Understanding Pain
To fix pain, we need to understand where it comes from
→ diving into the nervous system and why it sends pain signals

💆‍♀️ Topic 2: Reducing Pain & Improving Movement
How Remedial Massage & Manual Lymphatic Drainage can help the body move and feel better

⚖️ Topic 3: Balance & Fall Prevention
Balance isn’t just balance… it’s strength

🚶‍♂️ Topic 4: Take Action
Simple, practical steps you can start today to improve how you move and feel

💬 My biggest message:
Ageing is inevitable — but how we move and feel is something we can influence.

Thank you again for having me 💙
I loved every minute of it.

Been a little quiet on here lately — life has been BUSY behind the scenes!

Kate and I are currently booked out 1–2 weeks ahead, which is amazing, but it also means appointments can be harder to get.
So a reminder 👇

✨ Ellie’s Intro Offer is still running until April 9
💆‍♀️ $65 Remedial Massage

Use code ELLIE65

Ellie is a fantastic therapist and this is a great opportunity to get in sooner if you’ve been waiting for an appointment.

Behind the scenes I’ve also been:
• Visiting Shellharbour TAFE to build relationships for future therapist recruitment
• Preparing a Longevity talk for the Probus Club next week
• Seeing a vascular specialist for my varicose veins and learning more about managing them through training, massage and lifestyle

All while being a mum first, doing 5 hours coaching in the gym and around 18 hours of massage each week.

We’re growing — because no one should have to live with pain longer than they need to.

💙 Book Ellie before April 9
Code: ELLIE65

I almost said no today.

After a broken night’s sleep — up for a long stint with my son, three wake-ups for my daughter, and her deciding 4:30am was morning… it would have been easy.

Drop the kids to care.

5 clients back to back —
• Chronic neck pain
• Neuropathy + autoimmune swelling (MLD)
• Workers Comp
• Spondylolisthesis neck & lumbar
• Post tummy tuck MLD
admin in between and after.

Pick the kids up. Quick dinner.
Turn up 10 minutes late to class… and realise I’m training solo.
Everything in me could’ve justified going home.

But I stayed.

Because sometimes it’s not about motivation.
It’s about identity.
It’s about keeping promises to yourself.

The kids got time with their dad.
I left to tears (overtired ones 😅).
Came home to milk, cuddles and calm.

This is the juggle.
This is business.
This is motherhood.
This is discipline.

You don’t have to feel like it.
You just have to turn up.
And that’s enough.

Are you struggling with lowerback or hip pain or both? Here is how to improve it ;).

Why this release order matters 👇
We’re not just rolling where it hurts.
We’re working from the ground up so your body actually resets instead of tightening back up.

1️⃣ Foot → 2️⃣ Calves/Shins
Your feet are your foundation.
If your ankles are stiff, your hips and lower back will compensate.
3️⃣ Quads
Tight quads pull your pelvis forward and increase pressure in your lower back.
4️⃣ TFL
This small muscle on the front/side of your hip can switch off your glute med.
If we don’t calm it down first, your glutes won’t work properly.
5️⃣ Glute Med
Now we release the stabiliser.
This is often sore because it’s overworking.
6️⃣ Hip Flexors
Tight hip flexors pull on your lower back and increase compression.
7️⃣ QL (Lower Back Muscle)
We leave this until last.
It usually feels tight because it’s compensating for everything below it.

Big takeaway:
If you release the lower back first, it tightens again.
If you fix the chain below it, the back can finally relax.
Release in order → then activate → then train.
That’s how we build strong, pain-free hips 💪.

✨ Meet Ellie & one of our favourite treatment positions ✨

Today Ellie is showing how we keep our clients comfortable, supported and conservative by rolling them onto their side and draping properly in a side-lying position.
This position is brilliant because it’s: ✔ Gentle
✔ Safe
✔ Extremely effective

It’s especially ideal for pregnant women, but honestly — it works beautifully for everyone.

💡 Why side-lying works so well:
When you’re on your side, your body is fully supported and relaxed, which allows us to work deeper without forcing or compressing tissue.
In this position we can access and treat:
• The ITB (outer thigh) safely and effectively
• The outer hip and thigh
• Deep hip stabilisers
• Glute med
• Lower back
• Muscles along the ribs and upper back
• Tight lats that affect posture and shoulder tension
(Pretty much everything except the hip flexors at the front.)
✨ Less strain on the body
✨ Better access for the therapist
✨ Better results for the client

📆 Availabilities now open with Ellie
🗓 Wednesday, February 11th
📲 Book online — spots are limited.
