My Being Human Blog is a space where I share reflections from my clinical work alongside my own personal experiences, including the challenges of balancing business and family life. It is written with honesty and curiosity, and I hope you enjoy reading these posts, and if any of them resonate with you, I would truly love to hear your thoughts.
Fast Forward 22 years
It has been a while since I wrote a blog, time has been my nemesis, yet ironically, I am writing about time. A memory popped up on Facebook yesterday, it was an image of me when I opened my first clinic with Ali Kent and took my first leap into the industry that I [...]
The Anatomy of Breath Dissection
I am back in clinic treating after being online this weekend and my client asked, "so what did you do at the weekend". Well, actually, I spent two evenings narrating a livestream dissection while watching the amazing Todd Garcia uncover the anatomy of the breath on a fresh tissue cadaver. It's a conversation-stopper! That [...]
Survival Mode Losing My Mojo
My favourite saying over the last few months has been, “it’s ok, I am just in survival mode”. It took time out in Broome to realise that I have been in survival mode for the last 15 months since Covid when life changed in so many ways for all of us. I lost my [...]
Menopause: Who am I?
Menopause isn’t something we openly talk about and yet it is a conversation we should be having. Menopause, when you google it, is described as “a natural decline in reproductive hormones when a woman reaches 40’s or 50’s”. This sounds very calm and natural and I was not prepared for the chaos that would [...]
Lessons Learnt in Business
I have just celebrated my 50th Birthday, and my husband made a speech about my working life and talked about how I had always been self-employed, and I realised from the age of 18 I have worked for myself. The reason may be something to do with not liking being told what to do. [...]
Time
Are you like me, are you always running against time? I try to cram so much into my life and generally that is good, I do like to be busy, but I also have to make sure I have downtime. And that I am spending my downtime with the people that are important to [...]
Obturator Internus
Fridays fact: Obturator Internus and its link to the pelvic diaphragm. I have just run my first anatomy quiz, and one of the common questions that tripped people up was on obturator internus. Obturator internus is one of the deep six muscles, which are the lateral rotators of the hip. As a group, they [...]
Hyoids
I want to share my love of the hyoid muscles. I travel and teach a lot and often suffer from throat and voice problems. After many trips to the doctor as well as throat lozenges and medication, I realised it was because of muscle tension in my neck and throat. These muscles had a [...]
Sub Occipitals / Tension Headaches
I love writing my Friday facts and love these group of muscles, but this Friday fact has been a challenge, keeping it short and trying not to go too far down the rabbit hole. This subject will lead to a longer article. Today’s Friday fact is on a beautiful group of four paired muscles [...]
Impostor Syndrome
As well as anatomy, I love peoples behaviour and quirks, including my quirks and insecurities. Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong, that you weren’t good enough, or thought to yourself just before an important presentation “who am I, I shouldn’t be here.” The international journal of behavioural science estimated that over 70% [...]
