Do you find yourself constantly saying "yes" when every fiber of your being wants to say "no"? Or perhaps you feel an overwhelming sense of guilt the moment you try to prioritise your own needs?

You might be dealing with loose boundaries. 🍂

Our wonderful OT, Rachel Hopkins, has written a powerful new blog diving deep into The Art of Healthy Boundaries and how they impact our mental health, relationships, and daily routines.

As OTs, we look at how your roles and relationships influence your ability to live a meaningful, balanced life. Rachel breaks down:
🔹 The different types of boundaries (Time, Emotional, Physical, and Communication)
🔹 The signs your boundaries might be too loose or too rigid
🔹 Practical strategies to start noticing discomfort and communicating your limits

If you've ever felt that setting a boundary is "selfish" or "aggressive," this read is for you. Hint: It’s actually the ultimate tool for preventing burnout and strengthening your relationships!

👉 Head to the link below to read Rachel's full insights on the Lifeworks OT blog.

"Doing, Being, Becoming, and Belonging" 🌿✨
Our very own Jacintha Bell has been in Adelaide this week for the APS 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting, where she co-facilitated the "Purpose Beyond Pain" pre-conference workshop, with a group of Pain OT's from across Australia.
It wasn't just a morning of theory; it was a morning of doing. The workshop was designed to help clinicians apply practical, occupation-focused strategies to help people living with persistent pain explore function and meaning.
One of the highlights was exploring Trauma-Informed Care, using creative activities like drawing therapeutic spaces to reflect on how we create safety for our clients.
Thank you to the wonderful collective of OT's who co-presented (Hannah Kennedy, Katrina Liddiard, Angela Hodge-Polak, Huong Nguyen and Michael Deen), and all the attendees willing to step outside their comfort zones!! 🎓

Some people just quietly change the world. Meet Hamish, a cherished member of our Lifeworks OT family at Mt Lawley, and a very quietly spoken, delightful legend! ☺️

In March, Hamish wasn’t just walking; he was marching with immense purpose. He took on the 's March Charge in honour of his Dad.

To complete this incredible challenge, Hamish walked a total of 221 kilometres spread across every single day in March. You could find him marching from Hillarys to Trigg and back, nearly every morning. That is true dedication and love in action.

Lifeworks OT is incredibly proud of Hamish. We are rallying our community to support him as he charges for a cancer-free future.

Please consider donating to Hamish's fundraising page and leaving him a message of support below! 👇 Let's get behind our quiet legend.
