New Year, Same You (and that’s the whole point)

Hello lovely Mob and suporters, and Happy New Year. If January feels a bit loud or heavy, you’re not alone. There’s so much pressure flying around to change ourselves, improve ourselves, push harder. We’re not doing that here. Mobilates is a place to come exactly as you are, wobbly, tired, low-spoon, hopeful, all of it. This year (and every year) we’re choosing nurturing, body love, gentle safe movement, and a community that reminds you you’re already enough.

Resting, surrendering, and lubricating those joints!

I used to think that getting well was about being less lazy. Pushing through the pain and fatigue, ignoring what my body was saying, powering on despite how ill I was feeling. Then my body sat me down in my early twenties and said (it actually screamed at me!) absolutely not.

When Life Says “Stop”

A cartoon-style illustration shows a woman lying on her side in bed, resting her head on a soft pink pillow. She’s wearing a bright pink hoodie with drawstrings and has her eyes gently closed, a small smile suggesting calm or relief. Her dark brown hair falls naturally across the pillow, and the simple blue-gray background keeps the focus on her peaceful, resting face.

When illness forces us to pause, community keeps us moving. Mobilates founder Leanne shares an honest reflection on loss, purpose, and the power of rest and why Mobilates was built to last beyond one person.

She asked us to record short videos about times we’d been dismissed or mistreated by medical professionals. The response was overwhelming, because, sadly, so many of us have a story, usually multiple stories.

It Wasn’t Just a Tick Bite 😱

So, can you believe it? I’ve got Lyme Disease. On top of everything else I’m already managing with hormones and endometriosis, this feels like a cruel extra. I don’t feel that great to be honest.
