Hi lovely people. It's been a while!

What a crazy time of year December is, on top of this constant humidity 🥵. Yick!!

So, a few things have happened/changed over the past couple of months and i thought it was time I provided an update.

I just passed my Diploma of Counselling and have enrolled into Uni for a further 3-4 years of study beginning early next year. On top of this, I will be moving to New Beith in 4 weeks time.

In regards to how this affects my business, I will still be running the Seniors Program every Wednesday, and still plan on training with my Springfield Lakes clients, it just means I can only do sessions in your home or in the park, and my timetable, availability, and prices will change in the New Year.

I will take on a few clients who live closer to my new home, whilst ensuring I have time to study and fulfill other commitments I have made.

Over the next 2 weeks I will be uploading some videos that will include a combination of Chair, Mat-Work, and standing Pilates exercises that are great for increasing functional movement, mobility, balance, strength, and stretching.

These are great exercises for Senior's, anyone who can't get on the ground, and those with injuries or who have lower back pain doing Mat-Work Pilates.

I hope you all have a Merry Xmas and a wonderful New Year. Thank you to every client I have had this year, every one of you have taught me something new, inspired me, and given me the motivation to continue running my business. Thank you. Xx💜🙏

Hi lovely humans.

It's been a while between posts! Study has been crazy this term, but the finishing line is now in sight 😅💃

I've been running the Seniors Program at the Springfield Lakes Community Centre for 5 weeks now. Meeting and working with the wonderful, brave, determined, and inspiring seniors in our community has been a very rewarding experience for me.

It's held every Wednesday from 9:30-10:30am at a cost of $5, which includes morning tea after the session. This provides a great opportunity to have a chat over a cuppa.

I can cater to all levels and capabilities in these sessions and everyone is welcome to just come on down on Wednesday. Just bring socks, water, towel, and a mat if you have one. I do have plenty of spares as well.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Happy Monday everyone! 😊

Today's topic highlights the importance and benefits of exercise for older adults.

Regular physical activity is extremely important for older adults to maintain optimal health, independence, and a good quality of life.

Sedentary behaviour can cause a significant decline in health, a loss of muscle mass & strength, joint stiffness, decreased balance, accelerated bone density loss, an increased risk of chronic disease, cancer, & stroke.

Regular exercise however, can reduce the risk of chronic disease, falls, fractures, increase life expectancy, improve flexibility & balance, increase/retain muscle mass & endurance levels, & relieve tension in muscles.

It promotes better cardiovascular health, improving functions of the heart, lungs & circulation, reduces the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, & helps manage arthritis joint pain.

Mentally, exercise releases endorphins, a mood boosting chemical, reduces depression & anxiety, promotes better sleep & cognitive functions, which may help prevent dementia.

I'll be working with seniors over the next 3 months from October 4th in a Gentle Stretching Program at the Springfield Lakes Community Centre. I'm very excited about it.

I plan to incorporate a range of exercises that will be performed in different ways. This includes sitting on a chair, using light resistance bands & Pilates Rings, using a wall for support, standing up, or lying down.

Older adults exercising in a group session promotes connection and offers a supportive & safe environment around peers of a similar age, where you can have a good laugh.

For those who don't enjoy group classes, I offer a safe & supportive environment in my own personal Pilates sessions and can modify many exercises to suit your level & capabilities.

Thanks for reading and please message me anytime for further information.

Hi everybody.

Today i wanted to highlight the benefits of exercise for neurodiverse people.

Exercise offers a plethora of health benefits for everyone, however, its impact can be particularly significant for neurodiverse people because of their unique sensory & cognitive processing characteristics.

Neurodivergence encompasses conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, & more. Many neurodiverse people experience heightened levels of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Exercise has been shown to release endorphins (mood boosters) and reduce cortisol (stress hormone), leading to a more stable and positive mental state.

People with conditions like ADHD often struggle with maintaining focus and attention. Engaging in regular exercise can improve cognitive function, including attention control and working memory, leading to better academic or professional performance.

Autism and related conditions often involve sensory sensitivities. Exercise can serve as a way to modulate sensory experiences by providing predictable and rhythmic stimuli, helping neurodiverse people manage sensory overload.

If you are neurodiverse, I offer a safe space to exercise and train, a judgement free zone where you are free to just be yourself. I've worked with kids and adults who are neurodiversive and/or disabled, with fabulous results and positive change.

Message me anytime.

Happy Sunday 🙂

I've attached next week's timetable, updated on the 19/10/23, for the week of 024/10/23 - 31/10/23.

I was lucky enough to be offered the wonderful opportunity to run a government funded Gentle Exercise for Senior's Program in the YMCA/ Springfield Lakes Community Centre in recognition of seniors month (October).

When I first opened my business, I had a hope that I would be able to work in retirement villages or nursing homes, as I knew our senior citizens often get neglected, forgotten, can become quite isolated & suffer chronic pain.

I think they are wonderful. They have so much wisdom and life experiences to share, and are often very cheeky and quirky. 😇😁

The program will commence on the 4th of October and is free throughout the month of October. It will be held every Wednesday at 9:30am right through until January. A $5 cost will be incurred for each session after October.

Tea, coffee, and morning tea will be provided after each session, which provides a great opportunity for mingling with other attendees.
I'll be staying behind after each class to have a chat and answer any questions.

I plan on incorporating low-impact, gentle exercises & light stretching with the aim of focusing on basic movement & mobility skills, improving balance, and decreasing muscle stiffness, soreness, and pain.

Further information about the program and the link to expressions of interest can be found on the YMCA Springfield Lakes page, and on their website.

I look so forward to starting.
