Back after an incredible few weeks away and feeling so replenished.
❤️

Stepping back, slowing down and soaking up all those new experiences has filled my cup right back up — and I’m coming into this busy end-of-year season with fresh energy and a lot of gratitude.

I’m excited to be back in the clinic and looking forward to supporting all my beautiful clients all as we wrap up the year together.

How are you keeping YOUR cup full this time of year?

The final few days of our trip took us from Osaka (with day trips to Kyoto) and then onto Singapore for our final nights.

Still feels slightly surreal that we're home from such an amazing time away.

Japan absolutely cemented its place as a favourite destination but our first trip to Singapore did not disappoint.

Snapshots of the past week.

From teaching an impromptu reformer class in Sapporo to making our way to Osaka and a day trip to Kyoto.

Wandering aimlessly through the streets has brought some of the biggest joys of this trip.

Those unexpected, surprising spaces and encounters: a wood block printing workshop, making Matcha, alleyways leading you further off the path, history that's alive in temples and shrines and, always, amazing food.

Our time is coming to a close, but our hearts are feeling pretty darn full....

Photo dump - week two in Japan.

This time from Hokkaido.

Onumakoen hit the perfect notes for Autumn colour. The day after I took the photos, the wind had dropped most of the leaves from the trees! 🍁🍂

Sapporo - great food. Beautiful nature. Relaxed vibe.
A wonderful day of history and food with Yumiko as our private guide.
We found a local art gallery dedicated to Calligraphy where no one spoke English but they welcomed us so beautifully just the same.
And an AMAZING experience with and for a Pilates session swap!

And a Thankyou to Japan Airlines who gave us a smooth journey south to Osaka - despite snow at the airport!

We will totally come back to Hokkaido if we get the chance 🥰🥰

Mostly Tokyo and Togoshi but the last shot is from our hotel room in Onuma - where we're currently rained in but not unhappy....

Just a quick post to say, as of this Friday 23th, I’ll be out of the clinic for the next three weeks while I travel through Japan!

Time to fill my cup, stretch my legs and soak up some inspiration before returning for the final months of the year 🌸

I might share the occasional photo along the way but I'll see you all when I’m back, refreshed and re-energised.

Wellness Isn’t a Luxury — It’s a Lifestyle

We often treat wellness like something to fit in after everything else — when the to-do list is done, when there’s time, when we’ve “earned” a break.

But true wellness isn’t a reward — it’s how we sustain ourselves.

It’s the daily choices, small pauses, and kind habits that keep us balanced in a world that rarely slows down.

Wellness can look like:
🌿 Taking five deep breaths before you start the day
🍵 Making time for nourishing meals
🧘‍♀️ Rolling out your mat for yoga, Pilates, or barre
🚶‍♀️ Getting outside for a walk in fresh air
📖 Turning off your phone and resting early
💬 Saying no when you need to honour your energy

These aren’t luxuries — they’re maintenance for your mind, body and spirit.

You don’t have to do everything perfectly.
You just have to keep coming back to yourself — again and again.

✨ Feel grounded
✨ Sleep deeper
✨ Breathe easier
✨ Reconnect with what really matters

Because taking care of yourself isn’t selfish — it’s essential.

What is Fascia & how does Massage + Movement support it?

Fascia is your body’s connective tissue network — a web of thin, stretchy fibres that wrap around and through every muscle, bone, organ, and nerve.
It keeps everything in place, supports movement, and helps your body work as one interconnected whole.

But fascia can become tight, sticky, or dehydrated from:
- Too much sitting/sedentary lifestyle
- Lack of varied movement
- Injury or strain
- Stress

When fascia isn’t happy, you might feel:
- Stiffness or restricted movement
- Aches or “mystery” pain
- General tension that doesn’t seem to shift
- Imbalance in posture and body mechanics

How Massage supports fascia:
✨ Increases hydration — tissues glide smoothly
✨ Releases restrictions — restoring mobility + comfort
✨ Improves circulation — delivering oxygen + nutrients
✨ Calms the nervous system — reducing held tension

How movement supports fascia:
- Yoga — gentle stretching + mindful breath keep fascia supple and hydrated
- Pilates — strengthens and lengthens, creating balanced tension in fascia
- Barre — builds strength and stability while improving elasticity

Massage + mindful movement = a winning combination for healthy fascia, better mobility, and more ease in your body.

I’m just going to say it.
I’M NOT OK.

Not all the time, anyway.

And you know what?
That’s actually OK.

I’m not going to list all the reasons why — because let’s be real, we’ve all got our own list happening right now - what matters more is this: I'm giving myself permission to say those three words out loud, even if it’s just to myself - feels like a release. Like the weight of expectation is lifted.

This isn’t about sympathy. This isn’t about worrying anyone.

It’s about giving myself permission to be human.

Not being OK doesn’t mean I’m not strong.
It doesn’t mean I’m not capable.
It doesn’t mean I won’t still show up, get things done, and kick some serious butt when I need to.

Because we can be struggling and still achieve things.

Both can exist.

But sometimes I don’t “got this.”

Sometimes I feel like hiding away from the world - maybe just stay in Childs Pose.

Sometimes I just need to admit that I don’t have all the answers — and that’s not failure. That’s honesty.

Because pretending everything’s fine all the time?

That’s exhausting. That's not being honest and real.
And taking the mask off, even for a moment, eases the pressure.

So here it is: it’s OK to not be OK.

OK?

Today, I’m not OK.
And that’s allowed.

Tomorrow?
Who knows — maybe I’ll be unstoppable again.
