Contagious Enthusiasm Wellness Centre Hampton

Our Community Meditation Circle has officially started and hosted by the divine Debbie Nervous System Support Melbourne

Monday felt like a hard day to slow down. But, if anything, it was probably the day we needed it most.

Together, we paused, breathed, and gently settled into the week. It was amazing how quickly that busy Monday mind began to quiet.

Even better, there was no need to rush off afterwards. We stayed a little longer, chatting quietly over a warm cup of tea, taking time to write down any thoughts that came up during the meditation, and reflecting as we explored a selection of affirmation and reflection cards together.

Swipe through to read the card we selected. 🫣 Why do these cards always seem to highlight exactly what we need to hear?

A beautiful reminder that sometimes the best way to begin the week isn’t by doing more, but by slowing down first. We can’t wait for the next one, we will pop a booking link up for easy bookings.

Have a fab Tuesday!

This week is National Pain Week. We are so glad we found that there is a cause highlighting what many people experience, 3.6 million Australians in fact.

Not all pain is visible.

Many people live with ongoing pain that can’t be seen from the outside yet it affects nearly every part of their day. It can change how you move, how you sleep, how you work, and how much energy you have to give.

Over time, this kind of pain doesn’t just stay physical.

It can become mentally exhausting constantly managing symptoms, adjusting plans, and trying to keep up with daily life while your body feels like it’s working against you.

One of the hardest parts is that it often goes unseen. People can look “fine” while dealing with something that is persistent and wearing.

Chronic pain is complex. It’s influenced by the body, the nervous system, and everything that builds around it over time.

But being invisible doesn’t mean it isn’t real and it doesn’t mean it can’t be supported.

National Pain Week is about recognising the experience of those living with ongoing pain, improving understanding, and creating space for better support.

If this resonates, you’re not alone and there are ways to start working through it.

We have spent 6 months this year building and now ready to welcome exceptional practitioners to our team. We expanded to accommodate more health professionals within our beautiful multidisciplinary healthcare clinic in the heart of Hampton.

We’re currently looking to add:
• Integrative GP
• Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist
• Occupational Therapist
• Speech Pathologist
• We are also open to other complementary healthcare modalities that align with our values.

Our clinic has been thoughtfully designed with both the patient experience and practitioner workflow in mind, creating an environment that is calm, welcoming and enjoyable to work in every day.

Join an established team committed to creating an exceptional healthcare experience where patients feel genuinely cared for from the moment they arrive.

Our consulting rooms are ideally suited to practitioners with an established client base or those looking for a supportive environment to thoughtfully grow their practice alongside experienced clinicians.

Ideally, we are looking for practitioners who can commit to a minimum of three days per week.

If you’re passionate about delivering outstanding patient care and feel you’d be a great fit for our clinic, we’d love to hear from you. 💕

Team time 💕

We have made a real conscious effort this year to bring a more regular social calendar for our team. If you work in healthcare or appointment based roles you know only to well that sometimes you just don’t have the opportunity to connect with colleagues.

We know weird things like the sound of our teams footsteps, whose writing is in the comms books, who’s car stole your car park 🙊 but miss the time to have a proper hello and share a conversation that isn’t patient based.

This year we kicked off a Pilates class with .wellness.hampton in March, enjoyed a dinner in May and today was spoilt with .tcm taking us through a nourishing Qi Gong class followed by the most beautiful sound bath hosted by Bella. We all brought a little dish from home and enjoyed a floor party of food and tea.

So lovely to be able to charge the battery this time of year and feel fresh for another week ahead. As always, forever privileged to share this time with those who fill our beautiful clinic.

Gorgeous team who could make today:

We're a little late to the party this week but it's National Diabetes Week (12th-18th July) 💙

At Contagious Enthusiasm we know that living with diabetes is about far more than managing a condition; it’s a daily experience that most people never fully see or understand.

That’s why this National Diabetes Week, we’re proud to stand behind Diabetes Australia’s Living Out Loud campaign.

This year, the volume is being turned up for 2 million Australians living with diabetes, along with their carers, researchers, health professionals, and clinicians, amplifying what they wish the world knew.

Because when more people understand, more people act.

Remember if you need extra support, we're so lucky to have Maggie Stewart as our amazing resident Diabetes Educator, she can be booked online or by giving us a call on (03) 9603 0334 🥰

Let us know if you have other questions, otherwise we might see in are gorgeous clinic soon 😍

Qigong classes are back AND under our very own roof! 😍

We are so, so, SO excited for Dr Lea to bring back Qigong as of the 2nd of July (ahem, tomorrow!!)

Classes will be held on the 1st floor of Contagious Enthusiasm in our newly renovated event space upstairs.

Qigong is an ancient Chinese practice that combines gentle physical postures and movement, breathing techniques, and focused intention to cultivate and control the flow of energy (or Qi) in the body.

Qigong is a very accessible practice and can be easily adapted to suit people of all ages, fitness levels, and health conditions. Exercises can be modified to be performed standing, seated, or even lying down, making it a truly inclusive practice that can be tailored to meet individual needs.

Book online through the link in our bio or give reception a call to book you in and we hope to see you in a class soon!

💚 When: Thursdays at 11am
💚 Where: Contagious Enthusiasm - 1st Floor
💚 Cost: $20

Recognising Men’s Health Week

Research shows that men are more likely to delay seeking healthcare.

In Australia, around 1 in 6 men report not seeking care even when they felt they needed it (Australian Institute of Family Studies).

Often, symptoms are noticed early but managed, worked around, or pushed through. Care is more commonly sought once things begin to affect movement, sleep, work, or day to day function.

By this point, issues are more likely to be persistent and take longer to resolve.

This pattern is well recognised in national health data, with delayed help seeking linked to later diagnosis and poorer health outcomes. Early intervention is consistently associated with better results.

Hey guys, Men’s Health Week is a reminder that getting on top of something earlier can make a real difference so please don't delay.
