If you hurt yourself bouncing on the trampoline at Christmas, or carried too much shopping during the sales today, Songbird Osteopathy is open Wednesday (December 28) so that you can be right as rain for your New Year's Eve par-tay. We will be back to normal hours from Jan 18 2017. Take care and have fun!

Very pleased with the namecards we ordered from Impact Digital, which is a carbon-neutral printing company right here in Melbourne. 

I believe in living local, so if you are a small business (you don't have to be in healthcare) in the Northern suburbs, please email me or leave a comment to make contact.

Here are a few local businesses worth supporting!

• Our nearest cafe Jerry Joy for smiles and amazing coffee.
• Second nearest cafe Sgt Pepper for nutella donuts and a bit of quiet.
• Local health shop Naturally on High, they have an amazing range of organic food as well as traditional Lebanese nuts and groceries.
• Lactation consultant and midwife Alicia Davidson at mumsmilk, who is a godsend if you are having trouble breastfeeding or caring for your newborn.
• If I want to impress someone over lunch, I take them to Sartoria.
• Or I cook them lunch with what I buy from local independent grocer Psarakos. If you are driving, park in the carpark across the road, it's less busy.
• Thornbury Meat Supply - these guys are super-friendly and super-helpful. They are also one of the few butchers in the area that stock a wide range of free-range or organic meats.  Hit them up if you are making a batch of bone broth.​
• Sometimes, you need a lawyer but you don't have the time for an appointment. Nest Legal offers affordable online/after hours law advice for wills and conveyancing.
