Read MoreThe Squat- This is an important movement because it’s a movement most of us have to do daily- sitting on a chair, going to the bathroom, picking up objects from the floor. It’s a primal movement (see previous blog about primal movement patterns) meaning it’s essential for optimal movement. At times it’s not a movement at all. It’s a position of rest.
Read MoreLittle things add up over time. Let’s say you put $1 a day in a jar for your child’s savings. It may not seem worth the bother doing just a dollar a day but if you did that consistently each day until they turned 18 years old then they’d have over $6,550 (that’s not including interest). I think they’d be pretty happy about that!
Or if you’re trying to lose weight and you lost half a kilo a month that would be 6 kilos in a year!
Read MoreWith health and wellness I try to focus as much as possible on all the positive things we can do to lead healthy lives with preventative measures but if we were all healthy there’d be no need for these measures. But being the questioner that I am, I’m always asking the question “but what if?”
Read MoreFalls and injury in the older population is something that needs to be addressed as so much of this issue is preventable through practising better movement.
Read MoreWe’ve all done it at some stage. Out on the beach or park and the kids asking to be swung around in circles. I’m always encouraging parents to play more in addition to or as part of their workouts and playing around with the kids is a win win for all involved.
Read MoreAs with so many health issues, nutrition has a lot to do with it. Heart disease, brain disease, autoimmune disease, cancers, depression. The list goes on. Doctors have been treating patients who suffer from seizures for nearly 100 with a Ketogenic Diet with remarkable success.
Read MoreConcerns of weight (I prefer using the term body composition as weight isn’t telling the whole story) are common in the modern world.
Here’s an interesting article on the weight loss culture...
Read MoreThe shoulder pain is right up there with other common issues like back and knee pain. This isn’t necessarily because we use the shoulders as much as we do the back and the knees and thus wear them out prematurely.
Read MoreFor me, I stretch so I can carry on doing the things I love- playing with my family, martial arts and doing my movement sessions called Disconnected Sessions which is big kids fun. I don’t like being in pain and I don’t like missing out on the fun things in life especially due to injury. Been there and done that!
Read MoreWith there being a million different ways to choose how, what and when you eat out there with conflicting advice around every corner it can get very confusing.
Not only that, but it is such a personal thing on many levels that I think we can’t recommend one diet that fits all and stick with that same way of eating throughout our life.
Read MoreIf you are wondering what exercise to take up - Running, Yoga, Bootcamps...? I came across this great article by Gray Cook where he gives some well rounded guidance.
Read MoreI always think about the message I'm giving to my kids about health and movement without realising it. And now that I’ve learnt so much through my training and research I think my conscious message would be to not follow blindly, but to QUESTION EVERYTHING. To strive for real health out of a conscious choice - not to because you have to, but because it's empowering to feel comfortable in your own skin and in your own mind.
Read MoreClient's always ask me what I buy in my shopping, surely I buy packaged foods! Well yes, but they are considered choices. Here’s a list of some packaged foods my family eats on occasions, they are mixed in with small local brands, and carefully selected organic brands.

Read MoreWhat does Autism, NZ olives and worms that have Parkinson's have in common??
This is a fascinating interview with highly regarded Dr. Perlmutter and Dr. Stephanie Seneff. It’s a hugely informative conversation around Dr Seneff’s work where they discuss why the risks of pesticide use on our foods are real and how it’s affecting our population’s health.
