Have you noticed this shift?
From wanting to be
🔥hotter than hell 🔥
to NOT 🥵hot AS hell 🥵

Yep, the goal posts have moved.

What was important in your 20’s and 30’s is not relevant or practical any more.

It’s not about lowering standards; it’s about recognising your operating system had upgraded.

What you value has changed.

• A good night’s sleep.

• Being respected and valued.

• Having energy, love and connection.

• Understanding your body, what it’s telling you and what helps it find balance [= less bloating, belly fat, pain]

• Spending time on who and what really matters.

• Accepting and appreciating this current version of yourself.

I have a simple approach to getting what you value most.

If you wouldn't step inside a gym....but you want to get stronger, fitter, better balance - for whatever reason; maybe it's because you've heard it helps through peri/post menopause, to help with your confidence, mental health, independence, body image or to just fit in your clothes better...

I'm holding a 1 hour presentation at the City of West Torrens Council for YOU!

It's free, and it's packed full of ways you can get stronger simply in your own home. I'll be sharing easy-to-do 'things' you can do and why they're important - lots that are adaptable to your own ability and any limitations.

Please share this with anyone who you know would benefit - everyone's welcome! (not just City of West Torrens residents)

Details: Thursday 4th September 4-5pm
*Bookings essential - via the link here:

Joins us as we acknowledge Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week with a presentation to help women build real-life strength; without a gym, without equipment, and without pressure.

Sunshine is important to us for so much more than vitamin D.

Especially in winter it’s essential to get some sunshine exposure (morning or late afternoon is best) - even just 5-15 minutes a day!

If you’re not, maybe that’s why you’re feeling low energy, skin flare ups or any of the symptoms I’ve shared here.

Feeling sick?
It might actually be a good sign.

Getting sick = your immune system in action.

Every illness helps you body learn.

It’s like a tune-up for your immune system.

Your body has its own inner wisdom.

You’re not broken - you’re healing 💕

“That was better than a Physio session!”*

I hadn’t seen my client for 4 weeks. A bad cold, sky-high stress, and end of financial year to top it off.
😖😫🤧

She walked in shallow breathing and visibly sore, in pain.
Muscles pulled from violent coughing fits, achey and sore.

I turned the lights down so she could relax, suggested she lay down with her lower legs on the vibration machine and did some lymph release.

I gently helped release the tension in her diaphragm, ribs and ‘unwound’ her body with myofascial releases and bodywork.

With a sprinkle of Hypnotherapy to help release the ‘tricky’ emotions that were literally keeping her stuck - like thorns in her side - and within 45 minutes she was exploring standing stretches and releases for herself, breathing deeply and looking brighter and more energetic!

Coming in for what you need - and trusting the process.

I love going wherever we need to go, whether in-person or online; sometimes a movement session involves coaching or soulful work; others it’s a Hypnotherapy session where we do some movement or release work; or a Values session where we end up going through healthy recipes and how to make GF dairy free snacks for your kids - what you need, and what you’re ready for.

The path to optimal health is not linear.
And in my opinion it always requires kindness.

(*I love Physios BTW)

Worried about shoulder and arm pain?
These are my stretches and releases for midlife women to regain movement and confidence!

You’ll find the link to my new YouTube video programme in the comments below.

If you’re worried about shoulder and upper arm pain:
😳 that pain that makes you think ‘eek is this what frozen shoulder is?!’

🥺you can’t quite specifically locate where the pain is or where it’s coming from

😤you haven’t done anything to cause this pain (you haven’t got an acute injury)

😖you’re getting more restricted in your movement

🤯you’re finding it hard to do up your bra, to lift your arm(s)
unable to exercise or afraid to

🥰These stretches are for you. 🥰

Once you’re familiar with these stretches and drills you can choose which ones are the most useful and beneficial for you, and you’ll get quicker at creating a regular routine.

Even doing just 5mins a day can be beneficial!

You might have been feeling bad about procrastinating and not doing something about it - but perhaps it was because you didn’t know what to do or where to start.
And now you can 💗

Find your own kind of approach to a healthier, more content you.

Pain is often suppressed emotions stored in the body.
(great books to read more on this:
Dr John Sarno’s ‘Mind Body Prescription’ and his other books
Dr Gabor Mate’s ‘When the Body Says No’
Dr Bessel Van Der Kolk’s ‘The Body Keeps The Score’)

You may also have heard of Somatic Healing, and what I do relates to this too.

So much of the pain we feel is directly related to stored emotions.
And when something triggers us - the pain comes to the surface, or ramps up even more.

Rather than being at the mercy of your ‘random’, ‘out of control’, ‘unsolvable’ pain - what if you could let it go?

This is something I love doing with my clients, especially because it gives them so much more freedom in life.
And it most often takes only ONE session to resolve it.

If this is something that could make a significant difference in your life, to give you more freedom, energy and possibilities - message me or book a discovery call (link in my bio) to make it happen!
