I used to wear resilience like a badge of honour. I was the woman who could push through anything - who held it together, who knew how to make things happen.

And honestly? That worked. Until it didn’t 🥲

I burnt out. Again and again.

I kept thinking, maybe I just need a better routine. Maybe I just need to be more disciplined. Maybe I just need to manage my time better.

But no amount of time blocking, productivity hacks or “just thinking more positively” could override the truth:

✨ you cannot out think a body that is depleted from pregnancy and breastfeeding.
✨ you cannot just override a nervous system that is stuck in survival mode.
✨ you cannot build a sustainable life from a place of constant overdrive.

So, I did the deep work. I stopped trying to escape the exhaustion and instead learned how to expand my capacity.

I rebuilt my nervous system.

I replenished my energy at a cellular level (yep even after a 2L post partum haemorrhage 😬)

I rewired the patterns that kept me in cycles of depletion (this was so deeply engrained I couldn’t recognise it for a long time!).

And now? This is what I teach.

Because high achieving mothers don’t need another productivity hack. We need a way to sustain our ambition without burning out our bodies.

This is what my new coaching program, Magnetic Mother Collective is.

⚡️if you’re tired of pushing through
⚡️if you know there has to be another way
⚡️if you are ready to become the mother - the woman - you want to be without sacrificing yourself

Then this is the place for you 🫶🏼

This is the vortex, the community, the education and the embodiment that changes everything. Are you ready?

Comment READY and I’ll send you the link to my waitlist. Doors open soon ☀️

After a couple of days back in clinic and back with my coaching clients - I feel the collective energy of mother’s (and women) need a shake up. A reminder that they are f*cking powerful. Here’s what no one is telling you about motherhood 👇🏼

The system we live in is RIGGED against mothers. Our patriarchal culture isn’t designed for mothers - it’s built to push men to the top whilst women carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. And it gaslights us to believe the problem is US.

They tell us we’re broken. That we’re not good enough, never doing enough. That the exhaustion, irritability, spiraling guilt and constant feeling of FAILURE is just the cost of “bEiNg a MuM”.

They normalise struggle with no solutions. They make us believe that the multiple roles we’re juggling - motherhood, earning a living, holding relationships together, carrying the mental load of it all - is just what’s expected. They tell us to “suck it up”, “be grateful”; to “do it with a smile”.

“Don’t complain”
“Someone’s got it worse”
“At least….”
“It’s just the sleep deprivation…”

Well…I’m calling bu****it.

Motherhood isn’t broken. You’re not broken. The system is. And it’s time to re-write the narrative you’re living out.

Let’s stop pretending that “putting up with it” is the only option. Let’s stop soothing ourselves with doomscrolling, emotional eating, caffeine and alcohol.

Instead? Let motherhood shake you without numbing out. Let it crack you open and let it rebuild you. Let it burn away the outdated expectations and let it stop you from keeping yourself small and meaningless. Let it rebuild you into the most aligned, powerful, connected version of yourself you’ve ever known.

Think it’s impossible? It’s not.

This is my work. To help mothers who deep down KNOW there’s something MORE for them. To hold them THROUGH the growth, not stop them from growing. To mirror the truest version back at them. To give them the tools to uncover the version of themselves that is waiting to be called forward.

I PROMISE you it exists. DM me MOTHERHOOD to show you how.

If a post like this hits a nerve - if it makes you feel called out, frustrated or even a little defensive - that’s okay. That feeling isn’t a sign you’re failing; it’s a sign there’s something deeper going on.

Triggers often show up when we are overwhelmed, stuck or feel like we’re not measuring up. As mums, we’ve already got a lot on our plates, so it’s no wonder a post about survival mode or nervous system regulation can feel a bit much.

Here’s what you can do if you’re feeling that tight, uncomfy energy right now -

🫣 pause and breathe - take a few slow, deep breaths and let your shoulders drop an inch. You don’t have to figure it all out this second.

☺️ get curious, not critical. Ask yourself - what is this bringing up for me? Am I feeling judged, or am I judging myself?

🫶🏼 remember - no one (except maybe yourself!) is expecting you to have it all together all of the time! The fact you’re here, reading this, means you’re showing up - and that’s a big deal.

If you feel it’s time to stop going around in circles - barely surviving the daily chaos of raising your little ones - but KNOW there’s another way, I have 2 spots for coaching clients to start in February.

There are so many practitioners out there that claim they can help you heal from postnatal depletion, but I’ve seen no one who combines the multifaceted layers that I feel are necessary to truly heal.

And even the word “heal” feels wrong. It’s a transformation. It’s a walking through fire to meet the new version of yourself. It’s going through a breakdown to break through. And many mothers need to be held THROUGH that, yet are being let down.

My years of experience in this space have taught me that…

Our society values the maiden over the mother, which means we try to bounce “back” to our maiden selves and fit a baby into the mix too - instead of acknowledging the deep shift that has occurred within the mother as she meets herself again.

What if we found acceptance and belonging in our mother mind and body? What if we paid the respect to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual ordeal we have been through EACH time we birth? What if we brought nothing but unwavering love and adoration to our soft bellies, our tired but foggy minds and our cracked wide open hearts?

What if we stopped trying to FIX ourselves and instead loved ourselves into the new version of us?

What if we stopped resisting, labelling ourselves as wrong and broken?

What if we truly accepted ourselves the way we were, whilst simultaneously remained devoted to caring for our whole selves through the choices we make each day?

Welcome to my world 👋🏼 where I don’t “fix” you. I hold a mirror up and guide to your truth.

You want in? I’d love to have you my love - DM me LOVE for a chat xx

As the new year begins, I feel we’re often bombarded with pressure to set huge goals, change everything, and start the year perfectly. But the truth is, New Year’s Day is just another day, another month that we as humans make a big deal of! Yes sure, it’s a beautiful opportunity to reflect and reset, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or out of reach.

Change doesn’t need to be big or dramatic. It can be simple, meaningful shifts that align with what you truly need. And you don’t have to wait for January 1st to begin. Every single moment is a chance to start again, or do better, or try less, if we want to.

At the core of everything - whether it’s feeling more present, spending quality time with loved ones, or focusing on growth - is our health. Nourishing both our physical and mental well-being is the foundation that allows us to show up fully.

When we feel strong, grounded, and connected in our bodies, it flows into every other area of life - the way we turn up as partners, lovers, parents, employees or biz owners, and as friends. The way we turn up for ourselves!

So this year, let’s focus less on what we own and more on how we FEEL.

Let’s choose quality time over material things
presence over perfection, and
growth that nourishes us instead of depleting us.

Let’s lean into moments that make us feel alive, connected, and truly ourselves.

Here’s to a year of good health, meaningful memories, and small, intentional steps that bring us closer to the life we want to live.

What’s one small intention you’re setting for your well-being this year? My little mantra is “movement is medicine” because it truly is - and I want to keep showing up for myself in this way this year 💪🏼

I received this message a few days ago from a coaching client from this year, and honestly, it’s the kind of message that brings a tear to my eye. When Sarah and I started working together earlier this year, she felt stuck—overwhelmed, exhausted, and weighed down by the constant pressure of trying to do it all perfectly.

She’d been running on empty, putting everyone else first, and beating herself up when things didn’t go to plan. Motherhood felt heavy, and the joy she desperately wanted to feel seemed out of reach.

Fast forward to now, and this Christmas looks completely different for Sarah. Despite juggling the busiest time of her life (another baby, buying properties, and a partner working long hours), she’s feeling calm, aligned, and so damn proud of how she’s handled it all.

She’s let go of the pressure to create a “perfect” Christmas.

She’s embraced flow and spontaneity—taking her kids out for adventures, meeting herself with kindness when things don’t go to plan, and finding joy in the chaos instead of trying to control it.

She’s even carved out time to reflect on how aligned she feels with her partner, despite barely having a moment together.

The best part? Sarah isn’t just thriving on the good days—she’s giving herself the compassion and care she needs on the tough ones too. She’s no longer striving for “perfect”; she’s showing up as the real her, and it’s been life-changing.

This transformation didn’t come from a magic wand. It came from Sarah’s willingness to lean in, do the inner work, and show up for herself week after week. She’s created a life that feels lighter, more joyful, and truly aligned with the mum she wants to be.

So if you’re reading this and wondering if this could be you—spoiler alert: IT CAN. You don’t have to settle for survival mode. We are told to expect the worst for the first few years of motherhood but I’m here to tell you that it can look and feel different 🫶🏼

As I finish up my last day in clinic for 2024, I reflect on just how monumental this year was for me - both personally and professionally!

Taking over sole ownership of .collective around this time last year was one of the most rewarding decisions I have ever made. Running this biz on my own this year has challenged and stretched me whilst also shown me a strength, determination and vision I’m sooo proud of.

This year hasn’t just been about growth in biz - it’s been a year of transformation as a mother, a woman and a partner. Juggling it all has been messy, beautiful and everything in between. There were moments of doubt and exhaustion, but also moments of incredible clarity and joy.

To my amazing team - you are the backbone of this business. Your talent, passion, and dedication inspire me daily. I couldn’t do what I do without you and I’m endlessly grateful to have you alongside me on this journey.

To my family - my unwavering support system. My husband, my rock, my cheerleader, my sounding board, my towel man - you make it all possible. My beautiful two girls, who are my biggest motivators and constant reminders of why I pour my heart into this work. And to everyone who has stood beside me in this transformational year - thank you.

To the women I’ve had the privilege of working with in 2024 - you have filled my heart with so much gratitude. Your trust in me, your stories, your strength and your growth remind me why I do what I do. It’s an honour to walk alongside you in your journeys.

I’m heading into 2025 with a full heart, deep gratitude and excitement for what’s to come.

Thank you for being here, for cheering me on, and for being a part of this little online community! Here’s to growth, love and everything we’re building together.

Christmas is nearly here, and so are the opinions, the expectations, and the noise.

🎄 ‘Why don’t you stay longer?’
🎄 ‘Are you STILL breastfeeding?’
🎄 ‘But why can’t you let them just cry it out?’

The holiday season often pulls us in every direction—family traditions, friends’ requests, and societal expectations on what ‘Christmas should look like’ and how we ‘should be mothering’.

And in the middle of it all, your voice—the quiet, steady guidance of your intuition—gets harder to hear.

You might find yourself asking:
💭 ‘Am I being too difficult?’
💭 ‘Should I just go along with it to avoid tension?’

But here’s the truth.
Your intuition knows what feels right for you and your family.

✨ It’s the soft voice saying, ‘This is too much.’
✨ The gut feeling that whispers, ‘We need more rest.’
✨ The knowing that reminds you that connection matters more than pleasing everyone.

Honouring your intuition this season might look like:

Saying no to traditions that feel overwhelming. Prioritising time for your family to rest and connect. Creating space for what truly feels joyful, not just expected.

It’s not always easy to trust yourself when others don’t understand your choices. But every time you listen to that quiet voice within, you’re not just creating peace for your family—you’re showing your children what it means to create strong, loving boundaries.

So this Christmas, pause. Check in with yourself. Ask yourself - What feels good for us? What can I let go of? How can I honour my own needs while creating joy for my family?

Your intuition is your guide. You don’t need permission to trust it. 🫶🏼

Alright mamas, let’s cut to the chase…

It’s almost the New Year, and we all know how this goes. You’re hyped up, ready to make all the changes, but a few weeks in? Same overwhelm, same exhaustion, same cycles.

This isn’t about setting another resolution. This is about figuring out why you feel drained (even after a full night’s sleep) and finally doing something about it.

I’ve opened 3 FREE 30-minute discovery call spots for this Wednesday 18th Dec, and I’d love to chat with you.

Let’s unpack what’s really going on—whether it’s nutrient deficiencies, perfectionism, or just feeling like you’ve lost yourself in the chaos of motherhood—and map out your next steps.

Because 2025? That’s YOUR year. But it starts with you making the first move.

Motherhood is truly transformative. But it can also leave you feeling depleted in ways you don’t always notice.

Postnatal depletion isn’t just something that affects you 6 months after birth. Research suggests it lingers for up to 7 years post baby. So I’m not talking to those newly postpartum mums here - I’m talking to you if you’ve got a youngest child who is 7 (and all the mums with kids younger than that of course).

Whilst rebuilding your physical stores is the foundational strategy to overcome postnatal depletion - for true replenishment we need to go deeper.

Here’s what I know from the years of working with mothers in this space; the hundreds of blood pathology reports I have interpreted, the countless consultations and conversations with mothers of young kiddos: you can’t just “push through” postnatal depletion. Healing requires a focus on the physical but also a focus on understanding the emotional and mental depletion that motherhood can cause.

I know that when you do focus on these areas (what I do with women in my coaching sessions) - the transformations are huge. The mindset shifts, the understanding, the un-learning and the leaning in to your own intuition are things that are crucial to setting yourself up well for motherhood.

It’s not about being perfect.

It’s not about having your s**t together 24/7.

It’s about learning to understand and love all parts of you.

It’s about letting go of the shoulds.

It’s about finally taking your own needs seriously.

I’m working on something that will launch in Feb next year and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s for all those mamas who are depleted but don’t know what to do next. DM me DEPLETED and I’ll add you to the waitlist to be the first to know about it 🫶🏼

There is not a day that goes by that I don’t feel deep gratitude for the work I get to do. I received these words from a husband of one of the mothers that did my 1:1 coaching program, Magnetic Mother - and as I read the words, my tears flowed.

To have this kind of impact not only on mothers but their relationships and their families is simply awe-inspiring.

As I coach more and more mothers using my combined approach of nutritional medicine + mindset coaching - the evidence really stacks up. This stuff works.

If you’re reading this and seeing yourself in this mother - please reach out 🫶🏼

Happy First Birthday to our darling Ruby Eve!

As I sit here reflecting on the past year, I hold so many emotions all at the same time.

Joy - you’ve brought us so much joy this year. You’ve been the most smiley, laid back little girl who just adores her big sister so much. You go and go until you eventually drop (so much FOMO). You eat like nothing else I’ve ever known. And you’re quick with the crawling and I’d say walking isn’t too far off for you!

But I also reflect on the year, my heart aching at certain memories. Whilst I feel I have mostly integrated your birth, I don’t quite think I’m there - even one whole year later. The proudest moment of my life, birthing you in our living room - in awe of my mind and body (and still to this day in awe). Then the hardest moment with 2L blood loss and an emergency hospital transfer. A tricky few months afterwards as I recovered physically and mentally with other unexpected events happening around me, including what I now know was obstetric violence.

It took me so long to make sense of the first few months of your life. Not only was I going through my second period of matresence and trying to understand who I was as a newfound mama of 2, I also was figuring out how to run my business solo after buying out my biz partner only 6 weeks postpartum.

I look back at that version of Emma and I am bloody proud of her. She was so strong - even when she didn’t want to be. Even when she wanted to rest and be nurtured and held but couldn’t. Had to keep going. Keep turning up, keep moving forward.

Whilst I am proud of all we have been through this first year of your life, I am also unbelievably excited to watch you grow my girl. You have the most contagious cheeky smile and I have a feeling you’ll be our wild child.

Thank you for choosing us as your family - we will love you with everything we have forever and ever 🫶🏼
