When I was in the newborn trenches many years ago, a friend and I discussed a fund for the ultimate holiday we would have when we were out of it....

A few years later, others joined and the adventure fund began....

After another few years, we had enough money and big enough babies to go....and last week we went on the most magical trip!

If you are in the trenches and someone tells you "it's just a phase" and you want to punch them in the face.....I see you ☺️

But the irony is, it's really true.

One minute you are googling if it's possible to die of sleep deprivation and the next you are drinking margs in the mountains with your mates 🤍

Thanks ladies for the most amazing week 😍

One of the best things about my job is after working with a woman through pregnancy, seeing her come in with her new baby....

I get to know some women (pretty intimately 🤪) through pregnancy, educating them, keeping them moving and preparing her body to give birth. Seeing them postpartum is pretty special ☺️

Yes the baby snuggs are delightful but the best bit is when they tell me they felt "empowered" through their birth.

Today I have had several of these women who I have got to know over the past year and it's been such a fulfilling day 🤍

Obviously it doesn't always go like this and many, many factors outside our control. But I will keep shouting this from the roof tops, the more we learn in pregnancy the better!

Thanks ladies for letting me be part of your story and a wonderful work day ☺️

In western society, we only spend on average 7% of our time outside (compared to 85% for our ancestors).

Endorphins are our brain chemicals we need to reduce stress and feel joy. We get endorphins from moving our bodies outside, yet we spend so little time doing that.....

Moving, with people, outside in the sunshine is important for EVERYONE but it is ESSENTIAL l in the POSTPARTUM period.

Get outside, you will never regret it and your brain will be very grateful 😊

The new website is live, wooohooo 🎉

It has been a long process of ultimately trying to understand what my brand is, what my values are and how to actually convey this to you all......but I think we have nailed it ☺️

Thanks to my gang of experts for working on this "project" 😂 🙌

Let me know your thoughts ☺️

Ever wondered where the name Project Physio came from?

01/03/2026

You may have noticed a name change here....I have decided to go back to my roots and become PROJECT PHYSIO again 🎉 mm

I started almost 8 years ago as Project Physio before the Project Mum space evolved and kinda took over. But I have decided to revert back for a few reasons....

🙌 My PHYSIO skills are at the core of everything I do. Good communication, understanding of anatomy/physiology and being up to date with the evidence.

🏃‍♀️ I treat ALL women, young athletes to menopausal women. Yes pregnancy/postpartum will always be a large part of my work but the scope of my work is far wider than this.

💫 I am a QUALIFIED healthcare professional who continually needs to meet high standards to maintain my registration. So my "physio" name is important and sets me apart from a lot of the things you see in the world of social media 🤪

My classes and mum gatherings will remain but hopefully this little brand update will reflect more of what I do 🙌

And I have a fancy new website coming soon ☺️

A study last year surveyed more than 200 female netball players in Australia.

Believe it or not, the results are quite typical of research in high impact sports....

🤾‍♀️ Nearly half of the women who had children had urinary incontinence (leaked urine) when playing netball.

🤾‍♀️ 14% of women who had never been pregnant also leaked playing netball.

It is much more common than you would think but it is NOT normal and there are so many things that can be done.

So if you thought you were alone in wearing those period un**es to your netball game, you are NOT. So please reach out to your healthcare professional to do something about it 💥

Freddie Mac goes to school 👩‍🏫💫

Fred is your classic middle child, with the rollercoaster of emotions that goes with it!

Because he isn't the first to do things yet he isn't the baby, Freddie does often just get on with it....and that is exactly what he did today, wooohooo!

For anyone that has been following along, the transition to school for Jake was extremely hard for all of us. The phrase "you are only as happy as your unhappiest child" is something I often think about during that period. So today my stress was more around Jake and his new class (poor old middle child Fred down the pecking order of my stress again 😜).

However, Jake had a great first day, Freddie smashed it and even Griffy had a super drop off!

Our parenting journey is far from perfect but after the hard times the simple moments are even sweeter. Today was a massive win and I'm all about celebrating this 🎉

Because you know tomorrow all the kids will be psycho and I will wet myself on a run and the parenting equilibrium will be reset once more 🤣
