Im a massage therapist and a contact CARE practitioner but here are a few things that you might not know about me…..

I’m a Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 English hybrid. I have been in New Zealand for 20 years and became a NZ citizen last year ❤️.
I was a veterinary nurse for 15 years. Working in small animal practice. Loved it!
I love horses, even all the hard work they bring and the smell of them 🐎 .
I studied Naturopathy in my 30s. And learned to milk cows in my 40s.
I’m currently studying functional health with mentor and teacher, Dr Stewart Gillespie.
I ran my fastest half marathon time at 42.
And I believe everyone is doing the best they can with what they’ve got.

✨ Big news folks!!
……… I’m now offering ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock Release in Whangārei! ✨

Im super excited to be teaming up with Jamie and Mark 2 days a week @ Whangarei ConTact CARE. Where I am offering ConTact CARE Flinchlock release sessions.

For those who don’t know me well, I have been working as a massage therapist for the past 8 years. I love massage. It is a powerful therapy for so many reasons. Massage has been an incredible part if my life and I feel blessed to have been able to help people to be more comfortable in their own bodies, and relaxed in body and mind.

I started learning ConTact CARE approximately 6 years ago. It has completely changed the way I understand the body and healing. I love that ConTact CARE, even though it is such a gentle technique, can have such significant and lasting change.

I was drawn to conTact CARE as a career after witnessing it benefit my children. And later myself in various ways. The most recent and significant being a concussion and whiplash injury…. Which i strongly believe wouldn’t have resolved as it has without ConTact CARE. There is no other therapy like this.

I’m currently working Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Whangarei clinic and would love to support more people in our community.

If you’re dealing with:
• Aches and pains
• Old injuries or wear and tear
• Feeling out of alignment
• Headaches or tension
• Stress held in the body
This is something I can help with 🤍

Feel free to message me if you have any questions about what a session is like 😊

A lot of people assume weight gain only happens when you’re massively overeating. It doesn’t. Most weight gain happens through small, consistent mismatches between intake, protein, and movement.

If protein intake is lower than ideal, you’re less likely to preserve or build lean mass, appetite regulation is worse, and you lose some of the thermic effect of feeding that protein provides. At the same time, calories can still creep above what your body needs, even by a small amount. Add in slightly less daily movement (not training, just general life movement), and you’ve created the exact conditions for gradual fat gain.

This is why people often say “I don’t eat that much,” and they’re telling the truth from their perspective. They’re not overeating in an obvious way. But consistently eating just above requirements, not prioritising protein, and moving a bit less than before is enough.

Weight gain isn’t usually the result of dramatic behaviours. It’s the result of normal habits, repeated daily.

The good news is that this works both ways. While you can actively work at fat loss and make it a goal (which is what I work with people both in groups and individually on), small increases in protein, small reductions in intake, and small increases in daily movement are often enough to completely change the trajectory. Over time. Because that weight gain didn’t happen overnight.

Take a moment to stop today. Turn your head side to side. Look around you. Breathe deep and slow. Focus on all you can see, hear, smell and feel. Does it trigger you to feel gratitude??

This simple process can take less than a minute. It helps your nervous system to feel safe and calm. It can help you to let go of ‘the small stuff’…… The unhelpful thoughts and frustrations that bring you down and keep you feeling trapped or unhappy.

Repeat this process multiple times a day to calm your nervous system and assist healthy immune function ✨
