Pelvic Power with The Age-Well Room
Combining pelvic floor health with award-winning skin rejuvenation, Jodie Cameron discovers why ageing well means more than just looking younger…
Growing up with two older sisters, I was always wishing my life away trying to be like them. I was likely reading Cosmopolitan magazine well before I should have been, but it helped set me up with a solid skincare routine, how to avoid bad boys (that advice never stuck) and getting in your quota of pelvic floor exercises at the traffic lights. Thanks Cosmo.
But when I was assigned this story for The Age-Well Room in Maroochydore, I couldn’t help but reflect. As a 40-something mother of two, am I ageing well? According to my kids – my brutal critics – I’m passable for forty, but in a world of fillers and quick fixes, Rebecca Westman, Founder of The Age-Well Room is helping locals embrace the bodies they’re in.
“To me, ageing well means maintaining strength, mobility, and healthy skin as we move through different stages of life,” Rebecca explained. “It’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin – inside and out.”
After five successful years running her clinic in Toowoomba, Rebecca has brought her expertise to the Coast after trading the country life for the same sea breeze as the rest of us. Her philosophy is simple; support the body’s natural regenerative processes rather than fighting against them. From needle-free skin tightening to internal strength, the clinic is a space for those who want to feel as strong and vibrant as they look.
Rebecca isn’t just another practitioner; she’s the expert’s expert. As an Award-Winning Plasma Fibroblast Clinician and the official Australian Trainer for the technology, she teaches others how to naturally hit the reset button on collagen – without an injectable in sight.
“The plasma energy creates a microscopic injury on the skin, causing a massive reproduction of natural collagen,” Rebecca says. “It’s like a kick up the butt for the skin to start rebuilding.”
The results? Reduced scarring, pigmentation, and crepiness in those tricky spots like the neck and elbows. Hooded eyes, be gone!
While Rebecca is a national leader in skin tech, she’s equally passionate about a topic often discussed in hushed tones: pelvic health. Like an obedient child, I still find myself engaging mine whenever I hear the words.
Let’s be honest, most of us have been there – the mid-laugh, sneeze or the impromptu jump on the trampoline that leads to a ‘did I just?’ moment. (And yes, that includes you too, guys!)
Commonly suffered by women after childbirth and the slow climb over the hill, we’re told a bit of LUS (light urinary soul-destroying) is just part of the deal. But when it affects bladder control, core strength, and sexual wellbeing, it becomes clear it’s not something to ignore.
“Pelvic floor weakness is simply a muscle issue, just like a weak knee or shoulder,” Rebecca says. “It deserves the same level of care and attention as any other part of the body.
“Like any muscle group, the pelvic floor can weaken over time, but the encouraging part is muscles can also be strengthened again with the right support.”
For those still trying to remember their traffic-light exercises, Rebecca offers a significant upgrade – a pelvic floor chair that uses electromagnetic stimulation to do the heavy lifting (or sitting) for you. No daunting internal examinations required. While you sit comfortably and fully clothed, the chair triggers thousands of controlled contractions; far more than any traditional exercise could achieve. This isn’t just a women’s issue either; prostate health or post-surgery recovery are a major part of Rebecca’s work.
“Men often develop symptoms, particularly after surgery, but it goes unspoken,” she says. “Normalising the conversation means everyone can regain their core strength and confidence.”
At its core, The Age-Well Room is about helping people feel supported at every stage of life. If you’re looking for the peace of mind to jump on a trampoline with a radiant, natural glow to match, Rebecca is proving a graceful future starts with a strong foundation – no traffic lights (or needles) required.
