What’s your next opportunity?
Just like the branches on a tree, the pathways in our lives can take many routes. If you’re stuck at a crossroads, think about what and where you’d like to be in 5 years time. Often, this can help to guide your current decisions.
Over the past few days, I’ve seen a number of patients feel lost and unsure in the current climates, but by being able to take a step back and pause, clarity was regained once again.
Take care and stay healthy 😘

Happy Friday🎉 What are you guys doing this weekend?
We’re so blessed to be living in Australia where the sun shines, the beaches are plentiful and the forests are beautiful.
So let’s make the most of it and take time away from your computer screens and enjoy the outdoors. Not only will this boost your physical and mental health but it’ll give your eyes a chance to reset and prepare for the week ahead.
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend.

Breaking news! 🔊🔉 It’s just been announced by the Gold Coast Government that a brand new clinic will be opening for women affected with pain following pelvic mesh insertion.
The pelvic mesh was used to manage pelvic weakness, sometimes as a result of child birth. It has been under the watchful eye of many following claims of pain after insertion which has led to a state enquiry and a class action with an eventual ban. $3 million a year will be injected into a new clinic at the Gold Coast University Hospital with an integrative care approach consisting of specialist doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers and psychologists.
The clinic is expected to open mid next year and will serve the state.
This is extremely exciting news for women who have been suffering pelvic pain following mesh surgery.
If you or a loved one is affected or wish for more information please pop by and see me in clinic.

You’re not alone 💖
One of the biggest benefits of social media is awareness.
Domestic Violence has played a large role in the news over the past week and as a result more victims have been coming forward to seek help from this.
Domestic violence is gender neutral and isn’t always about physical abuse but it also includes:
- sexual abuse where you’re forced to engage in unwanted sexual activity
- Verbal abuse including name calling
- Emotional abuse with demeaning comments or threats - Financial abuse where access to money could be limited
- Spiritual or cultural abuse so you’re not allowed to practice your beliefs
- Stalking by means of being followed or being constantly watched.
Most victims feel trapped and stuck but it’s important to know that there’s a lot of help out there.
If you or a loved one are affected please come by and see me in clinic for further help and advice.
Take care and stay healthy x
