From the desk of Dianne
"Success is knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential and sowing seeds that benefit others", by John Maxwell. Many years ago I wrote this in a little notebook which I still have, after reading through one of John Maxwell's books, searching for what my meaning and purpose was. Working already in Women's Health, I knew this was my area of interest and passion, particularly in preventing issues through education and training of health and fitness professionals. Not long after that I started a journey from National Chair of Women's Health Physiotherapy Australia, to working with The Continence Foundation of Australia on resources and The Pelvic Floor First campaign, having done much of my best work via email and long distance communication.

Continuing with long distance contact led me to "talk" to Marianne Ryan, a Physical Therapist in the US and I was so very excited to receive a copy of her new book "Baby Bod ® " personally signed, in the mail last week. Little did I know, that my little by little would lead me on such a journey, to contribute and to help others on theirs. As I opened the book to see the "Praise for Baby Bod® " page - - - my testimony is right up the top!!! So exciting to see this, having made some contributions and also to see such a book now in print, with my own copy all the way from the US. Find out more about the new "Baby Bod ® "book in our blog and in the article below.
