Mamas who hold, rock and feed their babies to sleep are often told they’re “spoiling them”, “making a rod for their own back” or “creating bad habits”. 🙄🙅🏼‍♀️

Let’s set the record straight, shall we? 👇🏼

❌ These comments aren’t just unhelpful and hurtful. They can also leave mothers questioning their instincts and feeling pressured to go against what feels natural when caring for their newborn.

💣 HERE’S THE TRUTH: IT IS BIOLOGICALLY NORMAL FOR YOUR BABY TO WANT TO BE CLOSE TO YOU.

Think about it. For months, your baby was kept warm inside your body, constantly surrounded by movement, listening to your heartbeat and having their needs met without ever having to ask.

Then, suddenly, they’re in a big, unfamiliar world. Of course they seek comfort in your arms, your warmth, your smell and the familiar rhythm of your heartbeat. ❤️

For many babies, being cuddled, rocked or fed to sleep is a completely normal part of early infancy.

👶🏼 When I work with parents of babies under five months, I often see a mismatch between what they EXPECT their baby’s sleep to look like and what is actually DEVELOPMENTALLY NORMAL.

When we understand what’s normal, we can start to:
✨ Feel less frustrated by short naps and frequent waking.
✨ Understand why our baby might resist sleeping independently in a bassinet or cot.
✨ Let go of the pressure to establish perfect sleep habits from the very beginning.
✨ Respond to our baby’s needs with more confidence and less guilt.

💚 Sleep is a developmental process. It cannot be rushed or forced.

Save this post for the next time someone makes you question your instincts, and share it with a mama who needs this reminder. 🫶🏼

💆🏼‍♀️ I SPENT $570 ON A DAY SPA PACKAGE… AND SLEPT THROUGH THE ENTIRE THING. 😂😭

Last week, I FINALLY got around to using my $300 day spa vouchers that had been sitting around for about a YEAR AND A HALF.

Yep. A year and a half. 🤦🏼‍♀️

By the time I remembered they existed, they’d expired. 🫠

So naturally, I had to email the spa with a heartfelt sob story about why I hadn’t used them and beg for an extension.

And because I clearly have no shame, I sweetened the deal by promising to book their MOST EXPENSIVE PACKAGE. 😂

$570 worth of pure bliss. 💸

We’re talking:
✨ Mineral pools
✨ Turkish sauna
✨ Mud scrub
✨ Full-body massage
✨ Head and scalp massage
✨ Facial

FIVE. HOURS. OF. BLISS. 🙌🏻

They agreed to extend my vouchers and I was absolutely BUZZING. A whole day dedicated to relaxing, recharging and looking after myself.

I arrived ready to soak up every second of my luxurious experience.

Except… apparently, my body had other plans. 🤣

I SLEPT THROUGH APPROXIMATELY 4.5 HOURS OF THE FIVE-HOUR PACKAGE. 💀😂

I’m not talking about a little catnap.

I mean PROPERLY OUT COLD. 💤

I have absolutely NO recollection of most of the treatment. I woke up during the facial and honestly, they could have left the room, gone home, had dinner and come back and I probably wouldn’t have noticed. 🤣🤣🤣

$570 to experience the world’s most expensive nap. 😂

The irony? I left feeling incredibly relaxed…

AND THEN COULDN’T SLEEP THAT NIGHT. 🫠😭

Make it make sense.

So now I need to know…

👇🏻 ARE YOU A DAY SPA SNOOZER OR DO YOU ACTUALLY STAY AWAKE AND ENJOY EVERY SECOND?

Are you:
💆🏼‍♀️ Team A: I pay good money for this treatment and I intend to be CONSCIOUS for every second of it.

😴 Team B: If I fall asleep, I’ve clearly achieved the ultimate level of relaxation. Wake me when it’s over.

Or are you like me and accidentally spend $570 on an afternoon nap? 😂😂😂

Tell me I’m not the only one! 👇🏻

At the start of this year, I decided it was time to make some pretty major changes to my health. 🤍

I was starting to recognise the signs of burnout. Years of putting everyone else first, juggling motherhood, work and family life and pushing my own needs to the bottom of the list were catching up with me.

Add perimenopause into the mix and honestly, it was kicking my arse. 🫠

The way I was exercising no longer served me. I wasn’t seeing the changes in my body that I wanted and I knew something needed to change.

So I decided to lock in. 💪🏼

✨ I found an amazing health coach FLICK.
✨ I joined the gym and started lifting weights.
✨ I committed to following a meal plan that supported my goals.
✨ I swapped high-intensity cardio for walking 10,000 steps a day.

And I can honestly say, I have never felt better.

Not just physically, but mentally, too.

I’ve learnt that looking after myself isn’t selfish. It’s necessary. And I don’t have to wait until I’m completely burnt out to give myself the same care and attention I so freely give everyone else.

As mums, we’re so good at making sure everyone around us is okay. We remember the appointments, prepare the meals, manage the schedules, show up for our kids and keep all the balls in the air.

But who’s looking after us?

I’m still a mum. Still a wife. Still running a business. Still juggling all the things that come with life.

The difference is that I’m finally making myself a priority, too.

And if you’re a mum in the thick of it, especially if you’re navigating perimenopause and wondering why your body feels so different, let this be your reminder that you deserve to feel good in your body too. ❤️

You don’t need to overhaul your entire life overnight. You just need to start making yourself part of the equation.

Because looking after everyone else shouldn’t mean losing yourself in the process. 🤍

Now tell me, mama… are you making yourself a priority, or are you still sitting at the bottom of your own to-do list? 👇🏼

To the mama who’s wearing all the hats of motherhood, who’s feels like she’s juggling a thousand things today, this is your reminder that you don’t have to do it all perfectly. You don’t have to be everything to everyone, every single day.

You’re allowed to put some hats down.
You’re allowed to ask for help.
You’re allowed to make time for yourself, too.

Tag a mama who needs to know she’s doing an amazing job.

A big shout out to all the mamas who are wearing all the hats of motherhood and juggling a million other things. ❤️

You’re the chef who makes the meals, the taxi driver who gets everyone where they need to be, the cheerleader on the sidelines, the nurse who kisses the sore bits better, the therapist who listens to the big feelings and the referee who tries to keep the peace.

You’re the organiser, the planner, the cleaner, the problem solver, the keeper of everyone’s schedules and the person who somehow knows where everything is…

Motherhood means wearing so many different hats, often all before 9 am.

We carry the mental load. We remember the appointments, the school notes, the birthdays, the things that need washing, the food that needs buying and the little details that make our families feel loved.

We celebrate the wins, wipe away the tears, pick up the pieces, and keep showing up, even on the days when we’re running on empty.

Tag a mama who wears a thousand hats and deserves to know she’s doing an amazing job. ❤️

🤰🏻 Tag your pregnant bestie who deserves a little extra TLC during pregnancy!

While many of you know me for the work I do with newborns and babies, supporting mamas throughout pregnancy is also a huge part of what I love doing! 🥰

Growing a tiny human is incredible, but let’s be honest… it can also put a LOT of extra strain on your body!

As your baby grows, your body goes through some pretty amazing changes. Osteopathic treatment during pregnancy aims to support your body as it adapts to these changes, including:

✨ Your growing uterus — supporting the surrounding structures as your uterus expands and your internal organs adapt to make room for bub.

✨ Your changing centre of gravity — helping manage the extra demands placed on your back, pelvis and the rest of your musculoskeletal system.

✨ Your movement patterns — addressing areas of tension and restriction that may develop as your posture, gait and the way you move change throughout pregnancy.

✨ Your overall comfort — helping you manage the aches, pains and physical discomforts that can come with growing a baby.

The goal? ❤️ To help you feel as comfortable and supported as possible while your body does the incredible job of growing your little human.

Because looking after mama matters just as much as looking after bub! 🙌🏻

MAMAS I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Have you tried the famous Bump & Bub tummy massage on your baby yet? 🙋🏼‍♀️
💩… a little movement can go a long way! 🤍

If you’ve ever had a baby struggling with wind, a gassy tummy or difficulty doing a poo, you know how uncomfortable it can be for them (and how hard it can be to watch as a mama!).

Gentle tummy massage is one of the techniques I love sharing with parents to help support their little one’s comfort. ✨ This clip shows just a small part of a 5 minute routine I teach parents. It’s a fun way to get the dad’s involved too.

Using slow, gentle movements, my tummy massage routine aims to:
🤍 Encourage the movement of gas through the digestive tract.
🤍 Help babies pass wind and poo more comfortably.
🤍 Gently mobilise the tissues and fascia around the abdomen.
🤍 Provide soothing touch that may help settle their nervous system.

It’s a beautiful, hands-on way to connect with your baby while helping support their little digestive system. 🫶🏻

And the best part? It’s something I can teach you to do at home!

🚨 OFFICIALLY ENTERING MY GERIATRIC ERA 🚨😂

Well, it’s finally happened. Apparently, I’m old now. 🫠

Let me set the scene…

For the past 6 months, I’ve had a scab on the top of my ear. It’s painful, won’t heal and makes it difficult to lie on that side at night.

Naturally, my brain goes straight to WORST CASE SCENARIO. 🫣

I’ve convinced myself I have skin cancer and am about to lose an ear. 🫠👂🏻

So off I go to the skin specialist for a skin check, preparing myself for the worst.

And his diagnosis?

“Nope, you’ve got a pressure sore.”

Excuse me. A WHAT?! 🤯

My mouth literally dropped open.

“YOU’RE KIDDING ME?! I associate pressure sores with elderly people who are bedbound and can’t move!”

And then it dawned on me…

I HAVE DEVELOPED A PRESSURE SORE FROM LYING ON MY EAR WHILE I SLEEP. 😭😂

Yep. You heard me correctly.

Apparently, 48-year-old me has reached the stage of life where I can injure myself by SLEEPING.

The specialist tried to reassure me by saying they’re really common.

Hahahahahaha. 🫠

Yes, but in WHAT AGE BRACKET, SIR?! 😂😂😂

His expert medical advice?

✨ Switch sides of the bed and sleep on the other side while it heals. ✨

A week later, my ear is healing beautifully and I’m sleeping much better.

But I feel like we need to have a conversation about this whole ageing situation because I was NOT prepared for this chapter. 🤣

First it was perimenopause. Now I’m getting pressure sores from sleeping.

WHAT. IS. NEXT?! 😂😭

👇🏻 PLEASE TELL ME I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE.

Has anyone else developed a pressure sore on their ear from sleeping? Or have you had another ridiculous injury that made you question whether you’re officially a geriatric?

Please share your stories. I need solidarity, not a referral to a nursing home. 🤣🤭

🌿 In clinic this week…

Another week, another beautiful reminder that no two patients are ever the same!

This week I’ve seen a mix of tiny newborns, growing children and families looking for answers and support.

Here’s a little snapshot of what came through the clinic doors:

✨ 5.5-month-old girl with reflux and lots of screaming in the car.

✨ 7-day-old baby girl who struggles with being placed on her back.

✨ 3-week-old baby boy experiencing difficulty latching, causing pain for mum.

✨ 10-year-old boy with restricted right shoulder movement affecting his swimming.

✨ 6-year-old girl with a wry neck following a fall where she hit her head.

From the very early days of feeding and settling to helping older children move comfortably, every appointment starts with listening to the family’s concerns and understanding the individual child.

As a paediatric osteopath, I love working alongside parents to help them understand what might be contributing to their child’s symptoms and determine the most appropriate next steps.

💚 A little reminder for parents: If something doesn’t feel right, or you’re concerned about your child’s symptoms, it’s always okay to ask questions and seek advice.

Thank you to all the families who trust me with their care. It’s a privilege to be part of your journey. 🤍

What’s been happening in your world this week? Let me know below! 👇🏼
