Get a Move On (with Amy Slevin)

Sleep is a big deal. And insomnia can be torturous. So what can you do to change it?

Joining Amy today is Tracy Hannigan, a sleep therapist specialising in the use of evidence-based approaches.

Tracy advocates for positive habit building, regular bedtimes and breaking routines to help get you back on track.

Join as we dive into sleep effort, anxieties and why some people find it harder to sleep and wake up than others. 

What’s the big fuss with New Year’s resolutions?

Jamie and Amy break it down - from setting your sights too high, to being put off by it taking too long to achieve, to breaking these barriers and finding happiness in the process.

Self growth is a constant journey. Our hosts cover everything you need to know about goals, pathways and achievements - for all months of the year.

Be honest - are you a fan of Christmas day?

In this Christmas special, Amy takes you through how to handle the trials and tribulations of the day itself. 

A day filled with pressure, expectations and occasionally family conflict, this is your guide to manage the Christmas period. 

How do you create a space for healing?

To find out, Amy sat down with renowned sound healer, yoga teacher and music therapist Charlie Merton. 

Charlie performs gong baths - a form of sonic meditation in which she uses mallets and beaters to produce different frequencies from one, or several, gongs. 

She describes her job as the leader to create a ‘safe holding space’ for participants, creating sound of varying volume and timbre to allow inner troubles, both mental and physical, to arise. 

A true expert in her craft, Charlie is quizzed by Amy on all things sound healing - its origins, methods, and potential benefits.

How can we prepare for hardship? What steps can we take to process the unprocessable? 

In this episode, Jamie and Amy tackle head-on the tricky topic of grief. They touch on their own experiences of loss, and how to pull through.  

From our traditional perspectives to the taboo, no stone is left  unturned in this frank discussion of a particularly tender subject.

Well, almost. 

On this episode of the podcast, Amy sits down with The Bare Foot Podiatrist, Paul Thompson. 

They chat all things ‘feet’ - from the very practical origins of shoes, the surprising benefits of going shoeless and how to train your feet. 

Covering the mechanics of walking and a range of common ailments (and how to fix them), this is not one to miss for everyone with feet (and  those without!)

What's the problem with a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment?

In this episode, Amy speaks to Ben Cormack about all things pain and pathology. Together they cover evolutionary perspectives, pain receptors, placebos.

It’s time to break down what’s going on in our bodies.
