Move it March
Move it March
Let me ask you this, are you still exercising and committed to movement? New Year's Resolutions often fall flat by February despite our best intentions. I know that I find January/February harder months to get out and walk. Because it's so hot outside! And after having a Christmas break and then getting back into my weights sessions, I have felt sore for days afterwards. It's hard getting back in the groove.So, I'm taking a March reset. And focusing on simple, achievable goals. 20 minutes of mov
2026: The year to CREATE SPACE
2026: The year to CREATE SPACE
I've just gotten back from holidays at Rainbow Beach. I love this holiday destination because it's familiar, relaxing and my mind has time to unwind. When I went for a (very hot) walk along the beach, I thought about what I wanted from 2026. I love New Year's resolutions - they excite me! The opportunity to reset, change your frame of mind and make a year even better than the past is what I love. I know some people hate New Year's resolutions and I get it. Saying things like "I want to save more

It's that time again. Summer reads are here! There are some great books in here but tell me what you love to read! I'm always keen for a recommendation.The Crash by Frieda McFaddenI have become quite obsessed with Frieda McFadden and am working my way through all of her books. This woman is a rockstar - a brain surgeon in real life who writes best-selling New York Times novels in her "spare time". Amazing! Another psychological thriller, this story follows a woman called Tegan who is 8 months pr

Why creatine matters for women
Why creatine matters for women
What is all this hype around this supplement called creatine? Why do I need it?These are great questions. Once considered a “gym bro” supplement, creatine is backed by science as a powerful ally for women’s health - especially as we age. RENEW creatine powder can help improve strength, increase muscle mass, enhance cognitive function, and support bone health. I'm a big believer in evidence/science so I want to educate you on why creatine may be a supplement worth taking. If you eat plenty of re
Is Pilates strength/resistance training?
Is Pilates strength/resistance training?
I’ve seen and heard a lot of commentary in recent months around women 40+ needing to do strength/resistance training. And there’s a divergence of opinion about where Pilates sits in this mix. My intention is not to start a debate or pitch one form of exercise against another. Because you know what? Four out of five Australians aren’t moving enough each week according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. We are talking about 150 minutes of movement a week. My intention is not to tell you to do

Mindful May 2025
As I walked along the beach on my Easter break, I thought about what I wanted for next month. Every year, I use May as a chance to reset before the second half of the year starts. I reflect on what I'm doing well and what I could improve on. Mindful May, for me, is about the 3Ms - move my body, make a journal entry and meditate. These simple things that will help me feel calmer and less frazzled. And each year I fail to hit the mark (by my own benchmark that is). I wondered if it's my systems th

The Importance of Balance Training: A key to lifelong mobility and independence
This month's blog comes courtesy of Codie, a myotherapist and trainer at The Foot Collective. I've attended around half a dozen classes here (thanks to plantar fasciitis in my right foot) and these classes are a great way to improve balance and have fun as you strengthen your ankles, feet, legs, hips and core. Wellspringers who attended this balance class last year had a fabulous time! As a myotherapist, Codie has extensive knowledge of anatomy and how the body works - stay tuned for a blog late
Do Hard Things
Do Hard Things
January. The time of setting New Year's Resolutions and expectations of a better year. Except it can be a really hard time to make meaningful change. We often set unrealistic goals on 1 January without attaching a clear plan. For example, we throw away a line such as "I want to lose 5kg" but without setting the HOW in which you will make this happen. It's also a time of summer BBQs in Brisbane, drinking champagne or beer by the pool, headed to the beach for picnics (and probably more alcohol). L

What is the worst that could happen?
What is the worst that could happen?
I remember 2020, the year of COVID, where I had just started working as a Pilates instructor. Through shut downs on and off, mask-wearing, young children at home, stresses of potentially getting sick, I was trying to navigate this new life I wanted to create for myself. I had an inkling that perhaps I could create a business and run my own Pilates studio. But there were so many reasons not to do it.I would be giving up a secure, well paid job as a lawyer. There was no certainty it would succeed.
Healthy Hips
Healthy Hips
Do you ever think about your hips? This month's blog takes a look at our hips and why we need to keep them moving. Don't just take my word for it - this month's blog was written by Neda from Podiatry Beyond, a trusted member of the Wellspring Network. Podiatrists are all about the hip to toe so here's what Neda has to say on this topic. Enjoy the read...Our hips are often taken for granted, yet they play a crucial role in our daily lives. The hips provide stability, mobility, strength and ultima
