Appreciation post: 💐

Sometimes a little 'Thank You' goes a long way.. especially in our job, which is mostly a thankless one.

Opening ourselves and my practice up to accept students wanting to learn more about OT or to get the necessary job shadowing hours required by the universities is also met (mostly) with the same grateful but thankless response.

But this week, we received a beautiful bunch of flowers to say THANK YOU for giving a Grade 11 student the chance to see what OT looks like in a neuro rehab and acute hospital setting for 2 days.

So, thank YOU! We appreciate it so much! 💓

The truth is this... we need our nervous systems to feel safe in order to heal.

Living in constant stress, overload, and overwhelm keeps us in FIGHT or FLIGHT mode, which increases cortisol, adrenaline, and glucagon (stress hormones). This promotes insulin resistance and chronic inflammation.

Over time, our cells become reprogrammed and struggle to turn this stress response off, leading to poor health and chronic disease. 🤒

Having recently become certified as a practitioner, I understand how important a calm and regulated nervous system is if we want to improve our health, wellness, relationships, and productivity at work. 📈

It is essential for higher order thinking and making better choices to help stabilise blood sugar. 🧠

Stay tuned for some simple tips you can do right now to help organise and calm your brain.

Getting down onto all fours might be easy for some, but children with neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy, can find these basic movements really challenging or sometimes impossible, which limits their ability to explore the world or learn independence by moving freely. 🧠

But this little girl just never gives up and is always ready to push herself a little harder and try something new. Variety is the name of the game. 💛

And so it ends, similar to how it began, but filled with renewed energy, practical insights and the tools to help myself, firstly, and my clients to manage workplace stress, burnout, productivity, relationships, mental health and wellness. 🧠

Becoming aware of your unique sensory thresholds opens up space to find meaning in what is serving you or what is contributing to anxiety, poor productivity, and poor mental health, whether that is at home or at work.

Knowledge is power. 📖

Once we can unpack and understand these behaviours from a sensory point of view, it is easier to implement simple yet effective strategies to manage your environment and thresholds to function at your best.

I am so glad that I started on this journey of Sensory Intelligence(TM), and I look forward to helping others find balance through regulating the nervous system and improving metabolic health.

My Sensory Journey 🧠✨

I am discovering a deeper understanding of myself through The Sensory Matrix™️!

Finally making sense of why new, busy places with lots of noise leave me feeling stressed and overwhelmed - it's all about my unique sensory thresholds.

I have enjoyed learning techniques to honour my sensory needs and calm my nervous system when everything feels like too much. The best part? I'm also growing in my ability to give space to others whose sensory preferences differ from mine.

Self-awareness is true freedom.

✨️Today, we celebrated the life of a true warrior, someone who faced incredible difficulty and hardship after being diagnosed with a very rare disease, neuro acanthocytosis, 10 years ago at the age of 30.

I have walked a long journey with her and her family, along with other therapists, and her true spirit, resilience and courage shined through even during the most difficult times.

Therapists often take on challenging cases not knowing the depths that they might have to traverse with their client, the emotional highs and lows, and holding their hands when physical challenges become too much.

But we are able to get so much more in return, learning about love, patience, strength and courage. Living life to the fullest and letting go of things that don't matter, while holding on tightly to things that do. The strength and support of family. And carrying on despite huge adversity, physical challenges and speech difficulties.

Dearest Christina, you have taught us all those things and more. It has been a privilege being a part of your story, and I hope that your body is finally able to rest and find peace. 💜

Meaningful May - Why not do something kind for someone you really care about. 💐

We dont need to have it all figured out to find meaning in life. There are so many actions we can take to live with purpose, even in uncertain times.

As OTs, part of our core values include helping our clients participate in activities that are meaningful and purposeful.

Meaningful May is a chance to celebrate this by doing something meaningful to add value to those around us. 💫

Excited to begin my new journey as a Sensory Intelligence Practitioner! 🧠✨

This training will equip me with powerful tools to help clients calm their nervous system, shift from fight-or-flight to a calm, grounded state, and ultimately achieve better metabolic health, workplace wellness, and improved productivity. ⏰️

I am looking forward to adding this valuable approach to my toolkit and helping more people thrive both personally and professionally! 🧩
