There are a few very special people in my life.

You know the ones.

The ride-or-die friends. The people who've seen every version of you and loved you through all of it.

Last year, one of those friends shared something with me that I've never forgotten.

She'd gone through a really difficult time....

An Occupational Therapist's take on one of the biggest wellbeing trends.

Every few months, a new wellness trend promises to help us feel calmer, healthier or more productive.

Ice baths.

Infrared saunas.

Red light therapy.

Breathwork.

And yes... even my own Reset Toolkit. (A little shameless se...

I think I've been in a long-term relationship with worry.

We've known each other for years.

Overwhelm likes to tag along too. Together we go to work, sit beside each other during stressful days, and huddle together at night when I can't sleep.

Maybe you know them too?

The trouble is, we can end ...

A few years ago, I had just dropped my daughters at childcare.

I was sitting in my car outside, feeling that familiar wave of guilt about leaving them. I was already mentally rehearsing the workday ahead and trying to pull myself together enough to walk into work and act “normal.”

Ah, to be a wellness ninja…

Most people don’t realise that OT has anything to do with mental health.
Or wellness.

I promise, we’re not trying to torture you with clinical jargon or sprinkle in something woo-woo for fun ...

How Occupational Therapy Supports Women’s Wellbeing

I know, I know… OT makes you think of disability, wheelchairs, or hospitals. And don’t get me wrong, all of this is important work that OTs do. But it’s not the full picture of what OTs can do. My mum, on the other hand? She’s convinced I actually...

Life can feel like a storm. One minute you are steady, the next everything shifts: a new baby, career change, loss, or a move that upends your world. How do we stay grounded when everything feels out of control?
