I was sitting quietly this Christmas Eve morning, reflecting on the year that’s been.
I’m down in Port Fairy as I write this, spending Christmas with Mike and my family, and it’s one of those moments where gratitude feels very real and very present. My nephew is here with us for the first time in five years, which feels incredibly special after so many years apart. My dear friends Nattie and Ant are joining us too, and having them here for Christmas always feels like a gift - especially this year, when connection and togetherness feel more precious than ever. And with my Mum’s health not the best, I’m holding these Christmases a little closer. Each one feels like a moment to savour, a reminder not to rush past what truly matters.
Christmas has always been one of my favourite times of the year. Not because it’s perfect or polished, but because it gives us permission to pause just enough to really notice what we have to be grateful for - our health, our home, the people we love, and the connections that quietly support us through the year. And you are very much part of that for me.
This year has been full - in all the ways. Busy, meaningful, challenging, and rewarding. And after coming off the back of a pretty awful flu recently, I’m feeling especially grateful to be back in my body and well again, just in time for Christmas. It’s funny how quickly our priorities sharpen when our health is taken away, even briefly.
What I know to be true, both personally and professionally, is that there is always an abundance of things to be grateful for. And the more we consciously recognise them, the more grounded, calm, and resilient we become - both mentally and physically.
My work may only be a small part of your day or week. You may be a current client, a past client, or simply someone who follows along quietly. But I want you to know this: my business is my life’s work. I genuinely spend most days thinking about how I can serve better, support deeper, and help my clients and my audience feel stronger, clearer, and more resourced - in their bodies, their energy, and the work they’re building in the world, especially through the midlife years when so much is shifting.
You chose to engage with my work in some way, and that is never something I take lightly. You are the lifeblood of what I do. And because of that, it matters deeply to me that you feel seen, supported, and cared for - not just as a current, past or future client, but as a human being.
As we gently move toward a new year, I’m holding space for simplicity rather than pressure. Nourishment rather than restriction. Listening rather than forcing.
If January feels like a natural moment for a reset, my Inflammation Detox Diet begins on January 5th. It’s a gentle, supportive way to calm inflammation, support hormones and digestion, and start the year feeling clearer and lighter - without extremes or overwhelm. Just real food, structure, and care. Learn more here: www.andrearobertson.health/IDD_Jan26
But for today, my main intention is simply this: to say thank you.
Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for being part of this community in whatever way feels right for you.
I wish you a peaceful, connected Christmas filled with moments that truly matter.
And one little favour, if you feel like it - reply to this email and share one thing you’re grateful for as this year comes to a close. It always makes my day brighter.
With so much appreciation,
