Bringing the Anzac Values of Respect, Friendship, Loyalty and Trust into Everyday Life As the bugle sounds at dawn on 25 April, communities across Australia and New Zealand pause to remember.

Your Brain is Built Like an Astronaut’s

Imagine this. An astronaut sitting inside a spacecraft moments before launch. The countdown has begun. Millions of dollars of technology surrounding them. Thousands of variables outside their control. An outcome that carries real risk. And yet…They are not sitting there thinking: Did I lock the front door? Did I switch off the gas? What if [...]

Easter, Passover, Food, Family… and Finding Calm Around Eating

As Easter and Passover approach, many of us are preparing for time with family, friends, and shared meals. For some, this time feels joyful and connecting; for others, it can feel quietly stressful. Celebrations are so often centered around food: chocolate eggs, traditional Seder plates, long lunches, and tables filled with dishes we don't usually [...]

What Happens After the Injections Stop?

In my previous posts, I spoke about the weight-loss conversation no one is really having — and about how the mind is not the enemy, but the ally. Since writing those pieces, I have had even more conversations with clients, colleagues, and people quietly reaching out for advice. A new question keeps coming up. Not [...]

The Mind Is Not the Enemy — It’s the Ally

In my last blog, I spoke about the weight loss conversation no one is really having. About the jabs. About the side effects. About the rebound weight. About the shame that creeps back in when the noise gets louder again. And since then, so many conversations have continued — in my therapy room, in DMs, [...]

The Weight Loss Conversation No One Is Really Having

Let’s be honest… Almost everyone knows someone who’s taking “the jab” for weight loss. It’s in conversations at school pick-up. It’s in whispers between friends. It’s comments at the gyms. And for many people, it feels like finally — a solution. Until it isn’t. Because what I’m hearing more and more in the therapy room [...]

If You Did Just One Thing This Year… What Would Actually Change Your Life?

As February moves in and life returns to its usual pace, many people notice their New Year’s intentions quietly fading. Not because they don’t care — but because the goals they set were too big, too vague, or not built for real life. Rather than asking “What should I change this year?”
A more powerful question [...]

New Year’s Resolutions: Do We Really Need Them to Change?

We are almost halfway through January, and for many people the energy of the New Year is already beginning to fade. The holidays are ending. School is going back. Work routines are resuming. The inbox is filling up again. And with that return to structure often comes pressure — and a quiet sense that whatever [...]

A Gentle Reflection on the Year… and a Soft Landing into the Next 

As we come to the close of another year, I want to take a moment to speak directly to you - not just as a psychologist, but as someone who has walked beside you in your healing, your bravery, your heartbreak, and your growth. Every single one of you has lived a full year. A [...]

Your Body Remembers What Your Mind Tries to Forget

“The body keeps the score: if the memory of trauma is encoded in the viscera, in heartbreaking and gut-wrenching emotions, in autoimmune disorders and skeletal/muscular problems, then it is also in how we move, how we feel, and how we experience ourselves.”
— Bessel van der Kolk, M.D. Have you ever noticed how your body holds [...]
