Lower Back Pain Isn’t Just About the Back - It’s a Full-Body Story

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had a number of clients come in with lower back issues - and I think it’s the perfect time to have some honest, real-talk about where that pain is really coming from.

Why Health Is Becoming a Luxury in South Africa

Love me or hate me, but today we’re touching on a slightly more sensitive topic - Money.

It’s become one of the most sensitive and closed-down conversations in our country. Why? Because we all feel the pressure. Not just in our personal budgets, but especially when it comes to medical bills.

Why Mobility Training Beats “Stretch & Strengthen”

Have you ever been told, “You just need to stretch more” to fix a stiff back, tight hips, or sore joints? I’ve been there - both personally and with countless clients.

In today’s post, I want to give you a clearer understanding of pain – so you can stop living in fear and start feeling equipped and confident to take control of your body again.

Why You’re Still in Pain – and What You Can Do About It

So as we edge toward the end of April, I think it’s safe to say it: winter is coming.

And let’s be honest - has the weather talk not been the ongoing thing for us South Africans?

As the temperatures start to drop, the very familiar words in every conversation appear:

“We’re in for a cold one this year!”

But isn’t that what we say every year?

Happy Easter weekend, everyone!

Easter is usually one of those moments in the year that gives us a natural pause - a chance to spend time with family, to head outdoors (well… if Joburg rain allows), or just take a much-needed breath. Honestly, what better time to lean into a bit of grounding - something we’re really trying to embrace this April.

And while we’re talking about slowing down, I want to bring attention to one of the most underrated parts of healing and recovery: rest.

In light of our main theme for April - grounding - and the exciting launch of my Lower Body Rehab Program coming in May, today’s blog post is centred on something I’m incredibly passionate about: grounding the physical body. More specifically - building from the ground up.
From your feet, through your knees and hips, right into your core - this is your foundation. And without a strong foundation, everything else starts to feel off balance.
But because this is also a deeply personal journey for me, I’d like to share a bit of my own story.

This post is a reflection on the fast-paced chaos of 2025 and how easily we can lose ourselves in it. I explore the idea of four core groundings - Nature, Community, the Great Divine, and Self-Care - and how reconnecting with them can help us find clarity and balance. It's the start of a journey into understanding ourselves better - physically, mentally, and emotionally - so we can show up and move through life with purpose.
