I just saw this phrase written as I was out on a lunchtime walk and I really related to it. Sometimes, it's enough to turn your head, your focus towards the things you do want, the things that lift you.
Try it as you head into your into your weekend. M x

It's been a long week, but a good one. I've had a lot of people, in clinic and out & about in the world, talking about how things are a bit tough at the moment in lots of ways. You know what? I totally agree with this but one thing I know personally to be true is that you still have to invest in yourself. Time, money, epic massages, reading that book, time away from the worry... Something, anything.. Seeing your fav osteo!!! (plug, pluuuug....) Whatever the situation, there's always something you can do to feel more healthy. To get some of the stress out. To show yourself that you give a damn. Whether it's a minute or an hour, costs $1000 or costs absolutely nothing. There's always something you can do. So journal, walk, shout, make a cuppa, book that holiday or go and get that treatment/massage/sauna. Whatever. Just do it. It'll be the best investment you'll ever make. . Pic by the fab Georgia

Beautiful New Zealand in winter... Don't forget that the cold can tighten up muscles and joints very easily. Any slips and falls (on your arse if you're anything like me!!!) need to be checked out. It can set up restrictions in your body that might not be apparent straight away. I've seen many clients compensating through their spine for a fall that happened years ago... Stay on top of your physical and biomechanical health this winter- and watch your immune system and energy levels improve. Book online at www.michellelouise.co.nz and get that tune up now...

This is not just a metaphysical question and no, I’m not lost… 😂 You guessed it- I’m in Gore, in the Southland region of New Zealand for my second day of treatments. I always have such lovely, interesting clients in this town. For example, I’ve been exploring the neurological and emotional factors contributing to a medical diagnosis with one client- looking at the layers of compensation that body part is dealing with. It’s almost always multifactorial…If you missed out this time round, I’ll be back next month. In the mean time, here’s a sheep. Happy Sunday

Video to come about this shortly... I've been seeing a lot of younger clients recently with severe physical impacts that have affected their mental, emotional & energetic states and a lot of slightly older clients who's mental and emotional state is severely impacting their body. It's fascinating. We need a truly holistic perspective in order to understand our 'symptoms' as thoroughly as we can.

Music has become a massive part of my life and my work. I intend to incorporate it as much as possible! It’s helped me find my voice and boost my creativity. It’s helped me overcome grief and move physical blocks in my body. Noticing and feeling ‘how’ I sing helps me know what sort of mental, emotional and physical space I’m in. I love helping other people find their voice and the music in them. This awesome group of ladies, the Fine Thyme Belles, spent the last 8 weeks working with me to put together a choir set for Cromwell Christmas fair. It was so much fun and they rocked it. And yes- that’s all of us doing a shot of sherry before singing at 10am Saturday morning. Living the dream…

The view from work this afternoon. A fab spot out in Glenorchy, Aro Hā wellness retreat. I met some awesome clients from around the world and worked on releasing physical, mental, emotional and energetic patterns. My work has really evolved over time and I’ve learnt so much from the people on my table- and we’ve got so much more to learn from and about our bodies. I feel very fortunate that I get to learn more every day working with amazing people at awesome locations like this.

What a gift from an awesome human today… A well thought out, epic present from a very special client. Thank you. I’m stoked. All you other clients?!! Up your damn game.!! 😂😂❤️

How you move emotions through your body is such an important part of being well. Over the last few years I've got back into writing, especially poetry and it's been so important in processing events and emotions. This quote is from a poem called 'Constant Companion' which was just published in an almanac on grief in New Zealand. Full poem below...Writing is such a powerful tool- journals, poems, random words... It doesn't matter. It helps shift the energy, the neurology of a feeling and means that you might not dump it in your body and store it physically to deal with for years to come....

Constant companion

There’ll be a day.
A day when your mind sees birds, and clouds and people walking by.
When you’ll laugh in a group of people, leaning forward as you brush back your hair.
A day when you’ll come home and look at the sky and won’t breathe in the memories.

The memories of pain.
Confusion, as the walls of the truth fall down around your rib cage, restricting the cave of your heart.
When each breath stokes the fire of a primal pain, older than time itself, that folds in on itself, again and again.

Yet in that moment you’re a child again.
The wind from your sails, your cape limp and lifeless as you stand alone.
The turning of the world as you step off the cliff you never saw coming.
Reaching for a hand that never catches you.

There’ll be a day.
Not this day, but a day coming soon. Dragging itself towards you, reaching out to find you.
As you stumble through the labyrinth of illusion and altered perception, steadying yourself on cracked branches and broken paving stones.

Hold tight to the pain, the pain that eventually lets you go as you free fall into the twisting angles of each moment.
It stays with you always, once a foe now a friend, that teaches, informs and pulls you up onto your feet.

And when you finally let go it has become you; freed you through the cells of your body if you’re brave enough to let it go there.
But it still burns from time to time. And when it does, hold its hand, your hand. Hold it close until the next breath, the next moment and love it with everything you have.
Your constant companion.

My clients come in all ages, shapes and sizes!!! This gorgeous wee man is less than 2 weeks old and came to see me yesterday for a tune up. Being born is quite the big deal physically and mentally for Mum and baby… I love that I get to help these wee humans get the best start at life. With all that compression going through your body, a check over is never a bad idea for physical, mental and emotional health.

Do what you love. Even if it scares the crap out of you. Even if you don’t think you can. Even if you don’t think you can make money out of it. Who cares? The benefits of this are so incredible for your sense of self, your energy, your well-being. So do it. Took me a lot years to pick up the microphone. Now it’s one of the main things that keeps me well. I absolutely love it

This is what happens when I stop rushing around and being destination focused. A random short walk off of a random road and I just felt like stopping. So I did. And I found these incredible trees - completely unexpectedly. This is a big part of my learning/ retraining curve at the moment- slow the eff down and don’t miss the richness that is actually your life when you’re running to get where you think you need to be. It’s bloody working. Lovely trees. Happy Saturday humans x
