A ramble about being insured to protect yourself, the public and industry as a whole.

I would not sieep at night if i caused someone something that I could not afford to fix.

Hurt yourself? That’s personal insurance.

Putting the public at ANY SORT OF RISK?

Get insured (PLI) unless you are a multimillionaire - but even then... get insured.

Poi isn’t just art-it’s brain exercise.
Twirling patterns boost coordination, focus, and calm. 🌀🧠

The easiest way to start? Put a ball of socks in another sock and spin that!

One of the things I love about teaching skills like this is the Joy that goes with it.

You get to watch the exact moment someone moves up a level.

Not when the trick is perfect.
But when timing feels wrong.
Coordination feels messy.
Everything is frustrating.
Your brain is running the instructions trained but your body is half a second behind.
Or your brain is still processing the sequence of movements/actions.

But when they stay with the frustrations
long enough for their brain and body to figure it out together.
That’s where real progress lives.
And when it finally clicks?
Pure magic ✨

This actually one of my favourite stagesained to coach people through, no matter what the activity.

🎪At this session my spinny babies could have picked anything. Hoop. Staff. Juggling. 🎪

Every single one went straight for poi😵‍💫

Spin. 🌀
Hit self. 🥊
Try again 😅

No …this class is not about leaving knowing every move. Whist increasing movement repertoire is a long term goal, it’s not the only goal!

By engaging in flow, especially in a group you will benefit many areas.

🧠 Coordination, Bilateral motor skills,
Patience, Resilience, coordination,

Built one pattern at a time.

🔥 Frustration tolerance, Focus
Emotional regulation.
And it’s all disguised as play.

As an Occupational Therapist, I care about function that transfers into real lite.

Confidence that doesn’t stay in the studio.
Regulation that follows you home.

They built skill.
They built confidence.
They built connection.
They built capacity.
They only hit them selves a few times.

It’s OT disguised as play! 💚

One nail will injure you.
A bed of them will hold you.

Today people lay on nails and let a block break on their chest.
Not because they’re fearless.
But because they were informed, prepared, and supported.

This is what empowerment actually looks like.
Distributed weight. Shared trust.
The body learning what the mind is ready to remember.

I think I teach how to twiddle in there somewhere.
Getting the rambles out to the camera before class.
