Absolute Potential Health & Performance

We are passionate about delivering a holistic natural approach to you and your family’s Hi there! It’s my goal to help you find the best way to balance it all!

I’m Sissy Taufika and I help health-conscious people like you find your optimal health mojo - so that you can not only do it all, but do it well, and feel empowered and like yourself again (or better!). Because I’m also a mama, I understand that good health needs to fit into the everyday bustle we call family life. The Absolute Potential Health & Performance Approach

We base our practice on seven pillars of health: Thoughts, Breathing, Hydration, Sleeping, Nutrition, Movement and Community. Addressing all areas is essential to achievement of optimal health; whether you’re a new mum wanting to regain your pre-baby body, a parent wanting to give your bubba or teen the optimal start to life or someone who just wants to feel and perform at their best. We believe in empowering through education, active participation, finding balance, fun, and lifelong health, not just temporary fixes. Sissy is a registered physiotherapist, nutritionist and Level 2 C.H.E.K Practitioner & Holistic Life Coach. This additional training makes her perfectly skilled at providing a holistic, integrated approach to health and wellbeing. She specialises in: prenatal and postnatal care including pelvic floor and core issues, posture and breathing; paediatrics including musculoskeletal issues like torticollis, plagiocephaly and developmental delay as well as disability and adolescent conditions; functional exercise and training including inclusive exercise for those with a disability; functional nutrition for gut health, pre & post pregnancy support, paediatric and children's health. Other qualifications:

Our dream is for Absolute Potential Health & Performance to lead the change in improving the health of our children and future generations. "We want to empower parents and parents-to-be to achieve their absolute potential so that they can be the best parents they can be and give their children the best possible start in life. Above all, we want to change the current trajectory of our children’s health for the better, to help them rediscover their true vitality and to create a strong, happy and healthy future generation."

“I believe true freedom is being autonomous, moving well, eating for life and achieving your dreams. So many of us are told we can’t do this or have to do that or should follow this…my own experiences and seeing what so many of my clients go through tells me that this is the very opposite of what a beautiful, healthful life really is. My three main principles are good movement, food for life and that your brain in the master of your domain. Master those areas and you will have an amazing life.”

Sissy works one-on-one with you, in small groups as well as larger workshops and talks. What Absolute Potential is not

We are not a place of passive therapy, of people working ON or FOR you; rather we work with individuals who are motivated to actively participate in making changes towards a more fulfilled, pain-free healthy life. We are not a Cross-fit gym nor do we believe in the ‘no pain no gain’ principle. In most cases, stressed, overworked and over-trained people actually need less time exercising hard and more rest and recovery. We will work with you to find out what you need and what suits your life and body right now. We are not a ‘woo-woo’ spiritual or religiously aligned practice that expects you to sit for hours listening to the sounds of the ocean. We will and do use scientifically proven techniques such as meditation, yoga, breathing and recovery methods to help you perform better and get healthier. But we also know that what suits a 60-hour week business woman will likely be completely different to a 20 year old wheelchair rugby player. We help you find the best technique for you. We don’t hand out cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all programs. You will not be able to download an exercise or diet program that every Tom, Dick and Harry can access so we can make easy dollars. Each client undergoes a complete physical and life assessment and is provided with an individualized program suited to their physical, mental, emotional, financial and spiritual needs. We do not treat or see multiple clients at once, or leave you in a room alone with a heat pack. Unless you’re participating in a small group class or team building workshop, each session is one-on-one because we believe true service comes from personalised and dedicated attention. Even our group classes are limited to small numbers with every participant assessed individually beforehand and the class modified for each individual’s current issues.

HANGING

Often overlooked, hanging is a great higher level skill that all kids should master!

Benefits:
*Arm and shoulder strength - pushing and pulling, ball sports, doing school work
*Scapular (shoulder blade) and upper back strength - improved writing endurance, better posture
*Grip strength - helps playing sports, writing, bike riding
*Shoulder flexibility - reaching overhead, climbing
*Spinal decompression - better posture, less pain in upper back and neck

Most kids will naturally want to hang, whether it be monkey bars, trees or Mama's cable machine, making it a fun activity.

Kids with low tone or who spend a lot of time in front of screens or books hunched over will often find this difficult due to poor strength/endurance or lack of range. It's these kids that will benefit most from doing it!

Remember supplements will NOT make up for poor diet but the right ones can make a huge difference to recovering quicker, feeling more energy and just maximising how you feel after the 10 month marathon you've just run or growing and birthing a human.

The supps I've been taking daily + reasons for why they're so useful 👇
If you're 2 months or 2 years post, adding these to a good diet can really help if you've got a prolapse or separation that's not healing despite doing the right exercises, if you're still feeling depleted (not just sleep related) or if you've got gut and immune issues.

*Algal Oil - did you know fish contain good omega-3 fats because they eat algae?? Going straight to the source makes for a vegan, more environmentally friendly source than taking fish oil supps. You can also take cod liver oil or increase your intake of wild caught fish to help boost this important nutrient needed for smarter babies, cell & skin health and healthier breastmilk - I get mine from
*Probiotics - not all probiotics are created equal! You need one that contains bacterial strains that have actually been shown to be beneficial for pregnant, lactating mums and babies who were born via C section or aren't breastfed. Many store bought probiotics have lots of strains that have no evidence to help anything so you need to be selective.
*Iron + lactobacillus plantarum 299v & vit C: super new research that showed this strain helps increase iron absorption, plus vit c which does the same. Iron tends to be one of the major nutrients depleted post baby, which makes sense considering their first 6 months store is taken from you.
*Encapsulated placenta capsules - yes, these are bubs' placenta which have been made into tablets. I took these with my first too and they're supposed to help with post partum blues, energy and healing. A placenta looks a lot like liver and we all know how nutrient filled that organ is. I used Mothers In Arms Placenta Encapsulation who is based on the Sunny Coast.
*Collagen + Vit C: takes this to help his shoulder tendonitis and it makes sense postpartum

Note: Always start with diet, as a nutrient dense and targeted diet can cover the most of these! Daily i try to include:
- 1-2 pastured/ organic eggs
- grass fed ghee, lard or cream
- grass fed meat from my local farmers (I head to Kawana Farmers market each Saturday which has a great playground for kids)
- plenty of filtered water, this can include tea like Dandy chai, raspberry leaf or mushroom blend (contain adaptogens safe for lactating mums)
- fermented veg

Feeling overwhelmed? Does everything feel too hard? Your confidence is not what it used to be?
1 in 5 Mums and 1 in 10 non birthing partners experience some form of perinatal depression or anxiety. The numbers are alarming but help us to realise we are not alone.
Mental Health can be a challenging topic to talk about, let’s face it. It is not easy to identify our feelings and equally difficult to talk out loud and ask for help or even know where to go for help in the first place. Caring for our mental wellbeing is equally as important as our physical wellbeing, no matter who we are.
Becoming a parent for the first time, second or third and so on does not always come easy. It certainly doesn’t feel like it looks in movies or on socials. Our bodies, our routine, our families are all going through incredible change.

Here at Play Matters Sunshine Coast, we’d like to begin the conversation, ‘Let’s Talk About It, YOU Matter’. This is simply a casual get together with coffee van and cake, picnic rugs set under trees and conversation. Perinatal Child & Family Hub, Blackbird Counselling, ForWhen, Pointe Pilates and the team from Play Matters will all be available to chat and share take-home information. There will also be a Clothes Swap for Babies & Kids and play experiences if you’d like to bring your baby or children.
This first-time event is open to everyone. Mums, Dads, Grandparents, Carers. Maybe you know someone you’d like to help or maybe you have been meaning to come along to Playgroup, but put it off? This is a great opportunity to discover playgroup and the magical place this is, Play Matters Sunshine Coast Hub.
We can’t wait to make you welcome. If you have any questions, please contact us

Our Story

Hi there!

My name is Sissy and helping families to achieve better health holistically is my passion.

I’m a physiotherapist with a special interest in Women’s Health and Paediatrics, a nutritionist, life coach and a CHEK Practitioner (aka integrative movement specialist) - kind of like the ‘multiple hats’ job description of being a mum which yes, I am too!

The reality is, most of don’t have the time or money to spend going to see 4 or 5 different therapists in order to get a truly holistic approach to our health concerns. Yet being able to look at the bigger picture and someone’s whole life with all its nuances and differences, is the only way we can achieve true lifelong health.
