We pulled it off!

Our Winter Wellness & Connection went off without a hitch! And I think everyone had a blast!

I know I did 🥳

Thank you to 50 attendees, the epic support crew, Ang and Lisa from Footprints Foundation, our speakers, local businesses that donated to our epic raffle and Victoria Hall. ✨

We couldn’t have done it without you all. ❤️

There’s been many requests for another one. Once we recover and let the dust settle, we’ll see what we can do!

Chiropractic care goes beyond pain relief. ✨

It’s about unlocking your body’s natural healing potential.

Every adjustment restores, balances and strengthens the nervous system as well as supporting optimal health.

The biggest nervous system regulation myth 👇🏻

That being “regulated” means you’re calm all the time.

But true regulation isn’t about being zen 24/7.

A well-regulated nervous system means you can adapt to whatever life throws at you.

It means you can rise to meet challenges when needed and then shift back into a calmer state once the moment has passed.

We can’t avoid stress entirely.

But when our nervous system is functioning well, we can move through stress rather than get stuck in it and our body becomes much more resilient as a result.

Of course chiropractic care can help your nervous become more regulated but there are so many things you can do in your daily life. Stay tuned!

When I first had the vision for the space I wanted to create, I knew I wanted the kids to feel at home.

To be in space where they could play, spread out and create a mess! I wanted them to walk in and feel like they own the place 😂

And tick ✅, I think I’ve created that!

Kids come in for their adjustment and have the space to play! Little kids and the big ones too. There’s space to play or even just hang out on the huge cushion 😍

I know they feel more comfortable and seen having the space to be kids.

And yes, sometimes that means noise 🥰

I love seeing the vision I had come to life ✨🙏🏻

If you’ve been thinking of getting the kids spines checked and adjusted, the school holidays is the perfect time to do that!

Why are we hosting the Winter Wellness & Connection event?

Because we love bringing women together.

We know how hard it can be to step away from the day-to-day juggle but every time we do, we’re reminded just how powerful it is to gather, move, share and connect.

At past events we’ve run, the most common feedback we hear is: “I loved meeting and connecting with other women.”

So we thought, let’s do just that.

Let’s carve out an evening to move our bodies, learn something new about our health, share a nourishing meal and fill our cups in the best way possible: together.

And to make it even more meaningful, all proceeds from the event will go towards the Footprints Foundation, an incredible local charity that supports families navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, often young mums with little ones at home.

Their support looks like warm meals, a cleaner when things feel overwhelming or a helping hand to ease the financial load during treatment.

It’s a win all around, we raise money, nurture our bodies, and reconnect with community.

That’s the heart behind this event.

We’d love you to join us.

Friday, August 1st — 5:30pm at Victoria Hall
Tickets available via the link in bio.

Sound familiar?

You’re going full pelt, juggling everything and you’re not even sure where to begin to slow it all down.

I think most of us have been there.

And it’s a fast track to burnout. Some of you are probably already deep in it.

So when you’re stuck in the thick of life, how do you actually start shifting back into alignment? How do you go from just surviving to actually enjoying your life again?

Here are a few simple but powerful ways to begin:

💬 Be honest about your schedule

As women, we’ve been conditioned to do it all, work like we don’t have kids and mother like we don’t work.

And hold everything else in between school runs, after-school sport, the mental load of who needs to be where and when.

Take a serious look at your commitments. Where can you create space?

🌿 Start your day grounded

Even 10 minutes of stillness can change the tone of your whole day.

Try a short meditation, breathwork or gentle movement to help your system start calm.

🙋‍♀️ Ask for help

We were never meant to raise families alone.

We used to live in tribes. Now we live in boxes, trying to do it all without support. If you have help available, ask for it. Use it.

🏃‍♀️ Move your body

Movement is the key to life.

It shifts energy, supports regulation and helps your nervous system unwind from stress.

🧠 Get adjusted

Sometimes we need support to help our bodies feel safe enough to rest and heal.

Gentle nervous system-based chiropractic care can help you downshift out of that “wired but tired” state and back into calm, connection and clarity.

I could talk about this all day long (and sometimes it feels like I do 😅)

And I will be diving deeper into this topic at our upcoming Winter Wellness & Connection evening.

🌿We are excited to be launching our Winter Wellness & Connection Event!

Tickets are now available for purchase - link in bio! ✨

The evening will consist of a 45-minute beginner mat Pilates session with Lou Cartledge, a light dinner, and our speakers will follow!

Introducing our speakers!

Dr. Deanna Dolbel (Chiropractor)

Deanna will explore the intricate balance between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system and how this balance is essential for healing, regulation and true wellbeing.

Dr. Libby Neilson (GP)

Libby will share - ’Summer Bodies Are Made in (Metaphorical) Winter’ and don’t worry, it’s not what you think!

Rather than focusing on appearance, she’ll be exploring how life’s most challenging seasons can actually become powerful turning points for rebuilding health, strength and resilience.

Olivia McArthur (Dietitian)

Olivia will share how nutrition can be a powerful tool for performance in everyday life. Our nutritional needs evolve as we age and understanding how to eat in a way that supports our energy, hormones and metabolism can be a total game-changer.

Cara Johnston (Pelvic Health Practitioner)

Cara will introduce the practice of Holistic Pelvic Care and how it supports women in reconnecting with their bodies, reclaiming their sexual energy and awakening their deep creative power.

The evening will wrap up with time to connect with women as well as the opportunity to ask our practitioners any questions.

And remember, the most important part of the evening is that all proceeds go to the local charity Footprints Foundation, which supports local families going through breast cancer diagnoses and treatment.

It will be a powerful evening of movement, health, connection and raising money for an incredible cause! ✨

✨ Hey families, it’s almost holiday time 🙌🏼

You’ve made it to the end of a long (veeerrryyyyy long) term and it’s showing. 🤪

The kids are crashing.

Parents are running on fumes.

Everyone’s holding it together, just counting down to the holidays.

But when the break finally arrives… then what?

How do we actually reset, not just collapse and reconnect as a family?

🌿 Here are 5 ways to reset and reconnect 👇🏻

1. Get Outside Every Day ☀️
Whether it’s the beach, the bush or the backyard, nature resets nervous systems. A family walk, barefoot time in the grass or a no-agenda picnic works wonders.

2. Ditch the Schedule (Just a Bit) 🗓️
Give yourselves permission to sleep in, move slower and do less. Even a few unscheduled days can shift the whole family’s rhythm.

3. Create One Daily Anchor ⚽️
Choose one thing you all do together each day, like a shared breakfast, a game after dinner or evening storytime. These little rituals build connection.

4. Unplug to Reconnect 📵
Have device-free mornings or evenings where everyone is fully present. No phones, no scrolling, just real time with each other.

5. Get Everyone Checked & Realigned 🧠
Holidays are the perfect time for a nervous system reset. If the kids are cranky, tired, or off… a gentle adjustment might be just what their little bodies need.

You’re allowed to pause and rest.

And you’re allowed to take care of yourself, too. 💥

“At least baby is alive” 〰️ Why that’s not the whole story.

I was recently privileged to support a family throughout their pregnancy journey.

They chose to free birth and their baby entered the world calmly and quietly in the early hours of the morning, surrounded by love. It was a gentle, sacred transition earthside.

I was honoured to be invited to check and adjust baby on day two. (Truly, one of the greatest privileges.)

The difference between this birth and a traumatic one is night and day.

This family is softening into their new rhythm. Baby is calm, connected and trusts the world she’s entered.

It’s moments like these that bring a common phrase to mind, one I hear all too often:

“At least the baby is alive.”

Though usually said with good intentions, that comment can cut deep.

It reduces the birth experience to a heartbeat. It dismisses the emotional, psychological and physical trauma that may ripple through a family long after the birth itself.

It overlooks:
🌿 The mum who felt powerless or violated
🌿 The dad who felt helpless watching it unfold
🌿 The baby whose nervous system may carry early imprints of stress
🌿 The bond that felt interrupted before it truly began

Yes, of course we are so deeply grateful when a baby is safe.

But birth is not just about survival 〰️ It’s about arrival.

It’s about how we are born and how the mother is held, respected and supported through that process.

When birth trauma happens, it deserves to be acknowledged.

It deserves to be heard.

It deserves care, healing and support, not silence.

As a family chiropractor, I see firsthand how birth shapes more than just the physical body.

It influences the nervous system, the parent-child connection and the family’s overall sense of safety and wellbeing. ❤️

The Webster Technique supports optimal pelvic balance and nervous system function throughout pregnancy helping both you and baby feel more at ease.

Gentle, specific and deeply supportive, this is care that honors your body and your journey.

Chiropractic care is a great way to support your pregnancy and lucky for you, I’m Webster certified 🙌🏼

Healing is not linear 💥

You don’t just heal and grow in a straight line. It looks like dips, loops and spirals and that is normal!

Some days you’ll feel strong, well and clear and other days you feel like you’ve gone backwards.

This doesn’t mean you’re broken.

Healing can look messy and feel frustrating at times.

If you’re revisiting old patterns, feeling stuck after progress or more emotional than usual, this isn’t regression, it’s your system processing healing and asking you to be gentle with it ❤️

You’re not broken. You’re growing.

Just a little reminder to be kind with yourself and the journey ❤️
