What a wonderful Wellness event yesterday and today at the George Airport! ✈️💚

Beyond the health and wellness conversations, one of the highlights was building wonderful new relationships with the incredible people I met. It’s amazing how getting to know the people behind the scenes can change your experience of a place.

I think flying through George Airport is going to feel a little different from now on — with so many familiar faces to greet! 😊

Thank you for the warm welcome and beautiful connections. Here’s to many more! 💚

Happy Women's day 🎉🩷

What if we were kinder to ourselves and kinder to one another?

Be the support you wished you'd had💫

Say "You are doing a good job" when she feels lost.
Ask "Can I drop off dinner or hold the baby so you can shower?" instead of "Let me know if you need anything."
Say "It is okay to feel tired or frustrated" to lift the weight of guilt.

Breastmilk is more than just nutrition—it's an investment in lifelong health. 💛

Breastfeeding helps support healthy growth and brain development while reducing the risk of infections during infancy. Long-term, it is associated with a lower risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and some chronic diseases.

Every drop counts, and every breastfeeding journey deserves support. An IBCLC / registered lactation consultant can help you overcome challenges and reach your feeding goals.

What a lovely morning. Natalie, Carla and Nicole from the Therapy Connect team headed to Gracehill College for Lize Esterhuysen’s Ed Talk, Fuel for Growing Bodies and Busy Minds, and came away full of practical ideas.

Lize shared professional and research based information on feeding children well for sustained energy and focus, the kind of advice that actually fits into a busy family routine. It was such a good reminder of how closely nutrition, development and everyday wellbeing are connected.

Thank you to Gracehill College for opening this up to the George community, and to Lize for a talk that was both grounded and genuinely useful for parents.

Go team. We loved being there. , , , .
