If I had to describe myself in one word, it would be FLAWED.
And I think it might be the most POWERFUL word I’ve ever used to describe myself.

Not because it sounds nice… but because it feels like TRUTH.
It feels like a deep breath I didn’t know I’d been holding.
It feels like a moment of freedom after years of performing strength.

For so long, I thought being “flawed” meant something was wrong with me
that my reactions, my mistakes, my quiet moments of falling apart
were proof I needed to heal, fix, or be better.

But now I see it differently.
My flaws aren’t the parts I need to overcome
they’re the PARTS THAT BUILT ME.

They’re the versions of me that loved too deeply,
that stayed silent to protect someone else,
that reacted out of fear,
that tried to make sense of pain that didn’t belong to me.

And instead of rejecting those parts,
I’ve started to HOLD them… with understanding, not shame.

That shift… that’s what liberation feels like.
It’s not “accepting” my flaws.

It’s REALISING THEY ARE ME.
And I get to choose how I respond to them, how I grow through them,
and how I show up despite them.

That’s what it means to expand your capacity
to hold all of who you are
without needing to fix every piece.

Flawed. Human. Evolving.

With love & Light,

We all want to be remembered as the one who cared.
Who showed up.
Who got it right.
But sometimes we didn’t.
Sometimes we were tired, scared, defensive, or numb.

And that version of you? Deserves compassion too.

You can love people and still have moments you weren’t there for them.
You can cause pain and still be worthy of love.
You can own your impact without carrying endless guilt.

Because accountability isn’t punishment... it’s awareness.
It’s saying, “I could’ve done that better,” without erasing who you were in that moment.

You don’t have to be the hero.
You just have to stop hiding behind the idea that you always had to be.

We talk a lot about the people who HURT us.
But not enough about the times we hurt OTHERS or OURSELVES.

Sometimes we’re the ones who STAYED when our soul was screaming to GO.
Sometimes we’re the ones who WALKED AWAY from someone who NEEDED us or maybe from someone who wasn’t perfect, but was TRYING.

Both sides EXIST.
Both sides hold PAIN.

When we start looking at the WHOLE picture instead of just our CORNER of it, that’s when we start SEEING.

You don’t have to beat yourself up.
You don’t have to justify your actions either.
You just have to GET REAL.

The goal isn’t to find FAULT.
It’s to find FREEDOM... the kind that comes from saying,
“I see where I was LEARNING, not FAILING.”

Growth doesn’t always look pretty. Sometimes it looks like admitting you’ve been BOTH the BROKEN and the BREAKER.

💥 Let’s Be Real for a Second 💥

Yesterday I got to be a guest speaker for Queensland Health’s Allied Health Professionals Day, and honestly... what a room full of beautiful souls. 👏

But here’s the thing…
We always hear “just take five or ten minutes to reset”... and like, cool, sounds nice in theory 😅 but in the healthcare world, who actually has that kind of time?!

When your day is back-to-back patients, heavy stories, and constant pressure to keep showing up... you need something real, something that can fit into the chaos, not add to it.

So I demonstrated some simple mindful somatic techniques... tiny, powerful ways to help your body reset without needing to disappear to Bali for a week.

One of the favourites was Finger Pressure Breathing 👇
1️⃣ Press your thumb gently into one fingertip.
2️⃣ Inhale slowly through your nose.
3️⃣ Pause.
4️⃣ Exhale through your mouth as you release the pressure.
5️⃣ Move through each fingertip.

It’s simple, but don’t underestimate it... that tiny shift can literally calm your nervous system and help you shake off the heaviness we carry around after tough moments.

Because sometimes you can’t step away for ten minutes... but you can take ten seconds to breathe, press, and remind your body:
You’re safe. You’ve got this. You can keep going. 💪

Big love to the incredible Queensland Health (Rockhampton) staff who showed up, got curious, and were open to trying something new. You’re the real legends. 💛

💭 A little real talk about mental health:
Everyone prefers a different way to reset... not every technique will work for you, and that’s okay.
Please remember: it’s okay not to be okay. These techniques are here to help calm your body and mind, but it’s also okay if you need more than a few minutes. Sometimes support looks different for each of us... and that’s completely human. 🫶

We live in a world that preaches perfection … no red flags, no flaws, no mistakes.

But perfection doesn’t exist.
Every single one of us has wounds, patterns, and defences that still show up, even when we don’t want them to.
That doesn’t make someone toxic.
It makes them human.

The real difference is awareness.
Do they take accountability?
Do they notice when they’ve hurt you?
Do they care enough to try to do better next time?

Because emotional maturity isn’t about never getting it wrong…
it’s about recognising when you do and showing up differently.
So before you cut someone off for being imperfect, check in with yourself:
Are they actually unsafe for me, or are they just human and learning like I am?

Relationships aren’t built on perfection.
They’re built on awareness, effort, and a willingness to see each other’s humanity…
without losing yourself in the process. 🤍

Here’s a hard TRUTH:
We finally find someone SAFE, someone who genuinely wants the BEST for us... and we RUN.
We PUSH them away.
We SABOTAGE it.

Instead, we ATTACH ourselves to the ones who will HURT us.
Because deep down, we’re CHASING the same PAIN we grew up on.

When you don’t FACE those childhood wounds, you leave GOOD people in the DARK and hand your HEART to the ones who will TEAR it open again.

SAFE people aren’t always the ones who make you feel instantly CALM.
They’re the ones who make you QUESTION your choices.
The ones who make you OPEN UP when you’d rather SHUT DOWN.
And that’s SCARY as hell when your nervous system is ADDICTED to PAIN.

So what do we do?
We surround ourselves with FRIENDS who never CHALLENGE us.
We choose PARTNERS who FEED the wound.
And then we call it “NORMAL.”

But it’s NOT normal.
It’s just FAMILIAR.
And FAMILIAR isn’t always what’s BEST for you.

GRIEF doesn’t come wrapped in just one feeling
It’s a THOUSAND EMOTIONS crashing down at once and NONE of them wait their turn

The night my SISTER DIED I remember SHAKING so much I could barely hold my phone
I remember my MUM sounding EERILY CALM like the reality hadn’t hit yet
I remember waking up my other sister with words that didn’t even feel real in my mouth
"SHE’S GONE"

I remember SEEING HER BODY
How STILL she was
I remember noticing her SMILE then I noticed the COLOUR that had drained from her lips the BLUENESS SPREADING around them and how much my NERVOUS SYSTEM didn’t want to accept what I was seeing

It was like my BODY KNEW before my brain could catch up
THIS IS TRAUMA
THIS MOMENT IS GOING TO STAY WITH YOU

And it did
It STILL DOES

I’m a THERAPIST I help people move through GRIEF TRAUMA PAIN
And still I didn’t have the tools for this

Because NO AMOUNT OF THEORY can prepare you for holding your NIECE while she cries into the crook of your neck
Her tears and snot soaking your skin

No amount of TRAUMA TRAINING can soften the blow of seeing someone you love LIFELESS in a bed they’ll NEVER WAKE UP in again

But here’s something else that NO ONE TALKS ABOUT ENOUGH
Sometimes when they go
You also feel RELIEF
Not because you wanted them gone
But because YOU WERE TIRED
Because THEY WERE TIRED
Because you’ve held them through so much suffering and pain and you know deep in your bones they don’t have to hurt anymore
That you won’t have to keep collecting trauma
You remember those last days those moments of CARETAKING WAITING WATCHING
And when it ends
Part of you LETS GO TOO

And if you feel that RELIEF you’re not a S**T PERSON
You’re HUMAN
You’re ALLOWED TO FEEL IT
It doesn’t mean you didn’t LOVE THEM
It means you loved them THAT MUCH

GRIEF ISN’T A SINGLE THING
It’s:
ANGER
REGRET
GUILT
RELIEF
It’s LAUGHING at something stupid and then HATING YOURSELF for laughing
CRYING IN THE CAR
It’s feeling like the world should stop but it DOESN’T

I wanted to tell this story not to shock you
But because THIS IS GRIEF
And too many people think they’re DOING IT WRONG because it doesn’t look like what we’re told it should

There’s no right way to GRIEVE
Just YOUR WAY🌻

Hey everyone 💛
Just a quick update with some schedule changes over the next two weeks.

It’s school holidays at the moment and Sunday, July 6th, marks three years since my beautiful sister passed away. With everything going on, I’ll be running a lighter schedule to give myself some space.

This week:
👉 Only FloorPlay will be running on Tuesday.
🚫 No Beginner Heels this week.

Next week:
🚫 No FloorPlay on Tuesday, July 8th
🚫 No Beginner Heels on Thursday, July 10th

We’ll be back to our full schedule from Tuesday, July 15th 💃

I’m still running 1-on-1 appointments and nearly fully booked for the next fortnight... if you’re wanting to lock in a time, please message me directly rather than booking online so I can squeeze you in where possible.

Thanks for understanding. 🫶

With Love,
Caitlyn 💖 xx

🎤STUDIO UPDATE! New things are coming… and I’m bloody proud of it 💛

After taking a good look at what’s working, what’s growing, and what’s truly lighting us up… it’s time for a little refresh at CMC Mindful Movement Studio.

Here’s what’s changing (and what’s not!):
✨ Cards & Conversations + Somatic Techniques will be stepping back from the schedule. While these classes have held beautiful space, they haven’t been getting the love they deserve and that’s okay. Sometimes we try something, and then we pivot.

☕ Lattes & Laughs will still be popping up here and there (because you all LOVE it). These community chats over coffee will now be $10 to help cover costs… still filled with all the goodness, just a small cover charge.

💥 Now for the exciting part… Introducing:
Underneath It All: The Workshop

This brand new workshop brings together everything I love about doing the deeper work, without it feeling like a clinical therapy session. We’ll be combining:
• Somatic techniques
• Abstract art (hello colour therapy 🎨)
• Oracle cards
• Real, raw conversations
• And yes… snacks always.

Each month, we’ll explore a different theme. From boundaries and burnout to self-worth and letting go… uncovering the stuff that sits underneath it all and holds us back.
It’s bold. It’s expressive. It’s therapy-inspired, but without the therapy room vibe.

Because doing the work doesn’t have to feel heavy, quiet, or traditional.
It can be messy, real, creative and fun.

💃 What’s staying the same?
Don’t worry, your fav dance classes aren’t going anywhere:
• FloorPlay – Tuesdays at 6pm
• Beginner Heels – Thursdays at 6pm

These classes are still going strong and I LOVE seeing your confidence and sass grow each week.

To be honest... I’m just really proud.
Proud of how far this little studio has come.

Proud that my 1:1 therapy sessions are booking out.

Proud that I get to do work that changes lives… in a way that feels good.

And more than anything, I’m proud of YOU.

For showing up. For being open. For letting me walk beside you.

I love being a therapist and I love offering these classes. I can’t wait for you to see that therapy doesn’t have to feel so... well, therapy-like. 🖤
