The agave flower spike is alive with bees. There's a constant hum as they come and go, each one busy with its own job. From a distance it sounds like one continuous buzz but up close it's hundreds of tiny moments happening all at once.

Our bodies evolved surrounded by living ecosystems. The sound of birds, insects, the wind through trees, water moving, changing light, changing seasons. Nature is never silent, but neither is it demanding of our attention.

Even though I don't like gardening much, I always feel better after I've been sitting in the garden with my hands in the dirt.

I wonder if part of feeling "better" is about returning to an environment our nervous system has known for thousands of years.

Life is full of moments. Some are big but most of them are just wonderfully ordinary.

This photo was taken in Esperance many years ago with Mum and my daughter.

At the time it was just another visit from mum and a loooong drive to the beach (we were living in Kalgoorlie at the time). We weren't celebrating anything, we weren't setting out to create memories, we were a family spending time together.

My daughter is now 36 and mum is no longer with us.

Looking back, I'm grateful for this very ordinary moment that became part of a lifetime of memories.

How many of your ordinary moments today will become tomorrow's treasured memories?

I've been away for a month and, in that time, the weeds have done their weedy thing and got busy.

At this time of year my plum tree is flowering, promising plums, and a couple of frontrunner daffodils are brightening up a garden bed. Meanwhile, a few weeds have become many. Dead leaves have built up. Things have spread into places they weren't meant to.

Gardening is an ongoing lesson in maintenance.

We need maintenance too.

Just as my garden doesn't need to be rebuilt from scratch, neither does your body.

Sometimes it needs a bit of space, a bit of attention, and a chance to clear what no longer needs to be there.

Small changes really do add up.

Just as the weeds do.

Every experience you've ever had leaves some sort of imprint. Sometimes it's physical, like an injury, poor posture or ongoing tension. Sometimes it's emotional. Sometimes it's the beliefs or habits you've developed simply because they helped you get through a particular time in your life.

Most of those adaptations are clever, they helped you cope at the time. The problem is that the body doesn't always recognise when they're no longer needed.

Using muscle monitoring, I ask the body where it's working harder than it needs to. We're looking for where communication has become less efficient and where the body is still holding onto old protective patterns.

For one person that might involve muscles, joints or posture.

For someone else it could be stress, emotions, nutrition, meridians or something completely different.

That's why no two sessions ever look the same.

I'm back in clinic and taking bookings.

After spending the past few weeks in South Australia with family following Mum's passing, I'm now back home and back in the clinic.

It feels good to be back, and I'm looking forward to seeing both familiar and new faces over the coming weeks.

If you've been waiting to book a kinesiology or Spinal Flow session, appointments are now available.

A little update:

Due to the passing of my mother, I'll be taking a short break.

To those whose appointments I've had to cancel, thank you for your understanding. I apologise for the inconvenience, and I'll be in touch to reschedule once I'm back home.

If you've been considering booking an appointment, I'll let you know when I'm back and appointments are available again.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

The body has an amazing ability to adapt.

Sometimes it adapts so well that you stop noticing what's changed.

15/06/2026

Many times we think food reactions come out of nowhere.

But when we look back, there have usually been little clues along the way - changes in digestion, sleep changes, fluctuating stress levels and changes in the skin.

The body usually gives clues, but mostly our lives are so busy we don't take the time to pay attention.

People often wait until something is really bothering them before they seek support.

The thing is, the body is usually communicating long before that.

Changes in sleep. Digestive changes. More tension. Less patience.

Feeling overwhelmed by things that normally wouldn't bother you.

The body is telling you something has changed and it's working harder to adapt.

I love eating out, especially breakfast, but these days I need to be a bit careful about what I order.

I don't usually eat a lot of bread, can't eat eggs - they make me feel sick, and bacon doesn't sit well with me either. Bacon and eggs used to be my go-to breakfast.

For a while I'd order smashed av and swap the egg for smoked salmon. Now even the smoked salmon can be an issue, as is the balsamic glaze that often comes drizzled over the plate.

My forehead goes bright red and feels like it's on fire. If I ignore the warning signs and keep eating the things that affect me, I'll often wake up the next day with red pimple like spots on my nose. If i'm not careful, a migraine usually follows.

I have a chef friend that changed careers after becoming anaphylaxis to shellfish. Maybe you know of someone this happened to as well.

Things we tolerate well at one stage of life doesn't always stay that way.
