Rebalance Osteopathy
Haylee (she/her) is an Osteopath residing and practising on sacred Gunditjmara country in South-West Victoria. With a varied background in Women's and Paediatric osteopathy, Pregnancy and Postpartum manual therapy, Pilates and movement practices and Ayurvedic postpartum care, she now works exclusively in the perinatal space at her clinic Rebalance Osteopathy, Warrnambool. Her journey into this field was largely shaped by her own birth experiences, including a sudden introduction into the world of trauma when her firstborn spent much of the first week of his life in the NICU unit.
Haylee is inspired by the trauma work of Bessel van der Kolk, Stephen Porges, Tami-Lynn Kent and Kimberly Ann Johnson. During a consultation, Haylee aims to help individuals come home to their bodies, rebalancing their nervous system and working with shock and trauma from a somatic perspective. Her sessions ultimately aim to bring some nervous system regulation, improved sleep, and greater body connection and awareness. She supports many mothers preparing and navigating pregnancy and birth after experiencing trauma. When working with individuals who have experienced trauma, Haylee works collaboratively with other practitioners such as GPs, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, obstetricians, and midwives.

Cherylee Kinesiology & Soul Medicine
Cherylee is the owner and practitioner of Cherylee Kinesiology which is currently located at Go Vita Warrnambool, Warrnambool's leading health and well-being hub, and has been operating her clinic for over 8 years. Cherylee has completed training in Advanced Kinesiology techniques, becoming a Registered Professional Member of the Australian Institute of Kinesiology ltd. Cherylee Kinesiology offers a safe and secure private escape to relax, reconnect and transform in the CBD of Warrnambool.
During a session with Cherylee, she will aim to balance physical and neurological responses in the body using muscle monitoring, which provides a natural feedback system and various other techniques. Using these techniques enables you to reduce your physical, energetic, emotional, and mental stressors to positively affect your health and well-being. Distractions and negative influences from the past can build walls inside of us that prevent us from reaching our full potential. When you have experienced a trauma such as grief, it puts your body in a state of “fight or flight”. When you are in fight-flight mode and a sustained state of hyperarousal, you have very low access to your frontal cortex which makes basic decision-making difficult, let alone dealing with typical daily stressors. In this state, anything not critical to survival in that moment, such as digestion, immunity, and reproduction (hormonal system) are suppressed. Cherylee says it's important to get these systems back in balance to create a stronger stance for the grieving cycle. Cherylee works collaboratively with other practitioners such as GPs, counsellors, psychologists, and nutritionists, to assist in balancing men and women with unique experiences through transitional times of pre-conception, pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
