In case you’ve just arrived here, this week’s blog is the third in a little series exploring ‘whole-person health’ (you can catch up on the introduction by clicking HERE).
Whole-person health in practice – part two
We’re working through a little series exploring ‘whole-person health’ (you can catch up on the introduction by clicking HERE).
Whole-person health in practice
Last week I shared a bit of an introduction to a little series about ‘whole-person health’ (if you didn’t see it, you can click HERE to catch up) and it provided a little background of what I mean when I use that term,
Whole-person health (and why it matters)
I bang on a lot about the idea that ‘health’ is so much more than the distilled, ‘westernised’, medicalised construct that we often default to when we think about our health.
Why ‘why’ matters
I’m not entirely sure where this one is going this week so I’m writing with a hope that it will take form and make sense by the time I get to the end.
More on the space in between
A short but sweet revisit of one of my favourite topics, and one of my favourite quotes:
When therapy doesn’t look like therapy
This time 24 hours ago I was on a plane somewhere between Singapore and Melbourne, on the long journey coming back from two weeks away with my family in England.
My favourite resources: April – June 2024
The last time I sat down to write my quarterly blog it was after the chaotic weekend where the office got flooded, so I’m very happy to be writing this quarter’s blog in much less dramatic circumstances.
Women + anger
[In the interests of transparency, integrity and to state up front an awareness of my positionality – I am writing as a white cis woman. I recognise the privilege that comes with that in terms of the access to education, financial security and host of other considerations that this privilege has afforded me. I do not speak for all women, nor do I believe for one second that I have learned all there is to understand about this very complex intersection of challenges. I will use the terms ‘women’ and ‘men’ throughout this week’s blog and recognise that this is a binary position that doesn’t adequately represent everyone’s experiences. My intention is not to exclude trans or non-binary voices and I fully acknowledge my limited personal experience in this space.]
Centring women in research and practice – and a bit about my PhD
Many of you might know that I am in my second year of my PhD at Deakin University within IPAN (Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition) which has been a dream / goal of mine for more years than I care to mention.
