As I write this I’m in Sunny Queensland, having just finished a professional development course ‘intro to assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor.’ It’s one of those ‘dip your toe into women’s, men’s and pelvic health’ courses and it was astoundingly helpful to learn some new things and consolidate some things I already teach…
Perfectionism, Over-commitment and the High Achiever
I was a baby when I stepped out into the world of physiotherapy in 2007. I was young, excited, with a spring in my step and an unshakeable confidence; determined to get that first job as a physiotherapist and succeed. I didn’t realise it at the time, but I was a perfectionist.
Resilience Building for Students & Health Professionals
Much of my career has been spent focused on helping others in a clinical environment. In recent times my attention has turned to the wellbeing of not just my clients, but the health of my colleagues too. Not only do our patients need care – the helpers also need help.

GRATITUDE | Part VIII ~ The Core Value Series
It’s quite fitting that I looked at my schedule of posts this month only to discover that gratitude was the theme. Why – you ask? Because I can honestly and openly say that lately I have been ungrateful. Yes – it’s true. It happened slowly, insidiously creeping up on me in the absence of my awareness. In…

COMPASSION | Part VI ~ The Core Value Series
Something really beautiful happened this week. A small miracle, a very timely one. I had been feeling stress building over the course of about ten days and maybe I had been burying my head under a rock and not really dealing with it…. On this one particular morning I was out
