BALANCE ME

Incoming mail team ✉️
TERM 3 enrolments are open 🙌🏼
FOCUS: Stamina & Nervous System Reset's
At Balance Me, we do more than just “work harder.” I always include movement education drawn from my Bowen Therapy training so throughout class we’ll be weaving in nervous system resets - little release techniques, breath-work and restorative moments to help the body absorb the work rather than simply push through it.
This term we'll also be focusing on staying in some exercises a little longer (you may notice we have been doing that more lately), building strength endurance and exploring progressions. This means everyone starts together, but you'll have opportunities to continue challenging yourself at your own level as each exercise develops.

Just move, no pressure, one step in front of the other. The rest will all fall into place 💙

Walk through this red door...
Friendships are made.
Confidence grows.
Bodies get stronger.
And people discover they're capable of more than they thought.
You don't need to be flexible.
You don't need fancy activewear.
You don't need experience.
You just need the courage to take that first step.
Walk through the red door.
We'll meet you there. ❤️

Only my team understands this one...
One foot on a soft ball and suddenly the hamstrings are throwing heat & zaps ⚡🔥😂
If you've done this exercise, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Helping you feel better isn't just about what happens on the treatment table.
At Balance Me, Bowen Therapy and Pilates work hand-in-hand. I'll help your body release tension and find better balance, then give you practical movement strategies to help those changes last.
I'll be back in the clinic on Monday and ready to help you move with more ease. ✨

Legs 🦵 up if you LOVE Pilates!
I may have accidentally started a Pilates class on the Heaphy Track... 😆
After a big day of hiking, a few stretches turned into a room full of people with their legs in the air.
The best part? Seeing everyone stand up afterwards and say, "Wow, that feels so much better!"
There were also a few Bowen treatments needed ☺️
Pilates & Bowen is the perfect tramping companion.

A wee Friday Pilates + Latte's catch-up ☕

A few of our Friday 9am team enjoyed a post-Pilates coffee together this morning, because while movement is important, so is a good chat 😉.

One of the loveliest things about our Balance Me community is seeing friendships grow alongside stronger cores!

Also a big warm welcome also to our newest team members: Sonia & Naomi joining the Tuesday team and Kerry joining the Thursday team 👏 We’re so happy to have you with us.

PS so sorry I didn't manage to get everyone in the pic

A wee 🥂 to all the busy, tired humans out there…

Today, I swapped the workout for a wine...would the workout have made me feel amazing? Yup 😅. But I’m also pretty happy with how this glass of bubbles is landing.

Sometimes self-care isn’t about doing the “perfect” thing… it’s about making a choice that feels right for you in that moment.

And tonight? Bubbles won 🍾.
