Welcome! I’m Victoria.
I can't wait to help you on your journey with your posture!
I was always frustrated by posture...
The concept...
The feeling in my body...
The struggles with body position...
The discomfort...
The failed attempts at correction...
My journey with posture and posture-related injury has been lengthy and frustrating.
I have required a lower back surgery, and had countless physiotherapy, chiropractic, personal training, and massage appointments.
None of these actually helped me to correct my posture, or set me straight on the concept of posture.
Posture has been an unresolved problem in my mind for as long as I can remember.
For decades I was deeply intrigued by this issue, because it never felt like I had the complete truth.
As it turns out, my intuition was right. There was SO much more to know.
This set me on the journey of creating the
Healing Posture Video Series,
and I can honestly say it is the greatest gift I could have ever given myself.
Now I understand, and I want to share what I have learned with you!
I severely and permanently injured my lower back at the age of 21, and I wanted to know more about posture...
I tried the usual approaches by following the usual cues:
Shoulders back...
Chin up...
Stomach in...
Stand/sit up straight...
I found these "corrections" to be unsustainable and completely impractical, and they felt unnatural - yet good posture is meant to be a place of physical ease and comfort...
I tried the usual stretching and strengthening exercise programs, and still didn't find any relief from my postural pain, or lasting results.
Since injuring my lower back, I had wanted to create a resource to help others who had also suffered injury.
I didn't have the knowledge to create this resource at that time, so I set about acquiring this knowledge and commenced studying.
I studied various courses, including Certificate III in Fitness, Remedial Massage, and I started a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Movement degree program, before transferring to a Bachelor of Medical Imaging Science degree program. I graduated in 2011 and commenced working in frontline healthcare.
In 2020 I was medically retired from my role as a Senior Radiographer.
Initially I was devastated that I could no longer use my very specific degree.
A conversation with my Chiropractor at the time helped me realise that I had transferrable skills, life experience, and knowledge in anatomy and movement, and I could apply ALL of this to a new mission.
A mission I soon realised has been my life-mission all along.
All of these experiences were leading me to what I now believe is my true purpose in life:
to help fellow humans know and (re)connect with their body and posture.
I returned to the idea of creating a resource to help others with posture-related injury.
With new purpose and enthusiasm, I was inspired to create the Healing Posture Video Series.
It has taken me 30 years, and finally my desire to create this resource has become reality.
I decided to "unlearn" everything I thought I knew about posture, and start again.
The current narrative on posture wasn't serving me - had never really served me - so I investigated posture from the very beginning again.
I listened to my body, experimented with trying to achieve the "ideal" body alignment, and worked out why I couldn't naturally relax in good alignment.
I discovered a different story to what I had been told about posture.
One that made sense.
One that was logical and meaningful.
One that I could apply in my body.
The results were life-changing.
Finally! I felt in control of my posture.
Because the concept was solid in my mind, I was able to listen to and decipher the postural messages my body was sending me, and respond better than I ever had in my life.
This connection with your body and your posture
is SO empowering.
I now get to share what I have experienced and learned over the past 35 years, and I couldn't feel more fulfilled.
It feels great to have clarity on a problem that we, as a species, have been facing for so long.
There is a peace...
An assuredness...
A sense of hope that posture finally gets to make sense.
I believe I now have a very compelling story to tell about posture.
Empowering others to make sense of their body and their posture is my mission.
My message is so simple, and so logical, and you can take this information with you for life.
Knowing your body and your posture is your birthright, and it's time the narrative we rely on to achieve lasting results with our posture offered more than just shallow cues to create merely the appearance of good posture.
There are deeper reasons why the body cannot get back to good posture, and it's time we looked deeper, for better outcomes.
Subconsciously, we already know how to hold and use our body.
We have known this since our birth.
We just need to "reconnect" with this programming by listening to our body, allowing it to communicate with us, and responding to the messages it is sending us more effectively.
Start your journey to knowing and improving your posture today!
NEW MINDSET.
NEW POSTURE.
NEW YOU.
