This makes my heart sing!

On the right, the lovely who with her book Menopausing (with ) inspired me early on in my menopause educator and exercise specialist role to do more for women in menopause and the fitness profession education space.

And on the left, my dear friend and biz buddy who is a Master Trainer in menopause fitness and health and about to run another Give me Strength in menopause workshop for women!

This workshop was the first workshop I created specifically for women in peri and post menopause and is now a global success-thanks to Sarah and her work.

If you are in Glasgow Scotland on Sept 21st and want to go to this workshop then talk to to book your spot!

✨Fascial Fitness in Menopause:
More Spring, More Strength✨

🕸️Did you know your fascia is connective tissue that wraps around muscles,bones and nerves and is like your body’s spring system?

As we move through menopause, fascia can lose its elasticity, leaving us stiff, sluggish and often sore.

But the good news?

It loves to be trained.

🤸‍♀️ Plyometric exercises (like squat jumps or skipping) don’t just help bones stay strong, they also train fascia to store and release energy- giving you more power, agility, and bounce.

You don’t need to go extreme with it. Light, springy movements can make a huge difference. 🌟

Here are a couple of exercises to get you started with some power boosting fascial fitness!

Drop me a comment or DM if you give these a go!

Sunday walks…
They are a thing in my family(in that I make my hubby and kids come for a walk!) and I grew up having to go on family walks after Sunday lunch.
My childhood walks didn’t look like this, and I wasn’t particularly happy having to do it, but something must have rubbed off as I love getting out and walking now- and although my kids complain, they always leave feeling good.
Winter on the Sunshine Coast really isn’t winter anyway, so that helps! ☀️

Would love to hear about your walks- and whether you have to bribe your kids with ice cream etc to get them to come out!

What I didn’t tell you about the retreat…

I didn’t make a huge profit running it.

It took 5 months of planning, creating, and selling with a LOT of energy required

I’ll do it again though because the content is gold(and will likely bring big revenue in future) and the connection and experience was more valuable to me than just profit.

Running a retreat was my next step in business but it doesn’t have to be yours!

Maybe you just need to tell your clients that you specialise in menopause

Maybe you just need to start a small group class

Maybe you just need to build an interested audience.

And maybe you just need someone to guide you towards that. 🙋🏼‍♀️

I’m here for it!

And the THRIVE menopause course will help you-

Become the go to menopause fitness expert

Integrate your knowledge into purposeful action

Build you a business that earns you more money whilst you work less hours.

Doors are open NOW for the THRIVE menopause course for fitness professionals and coaching starts AUG 13th

Drop me a DM or comment THRIVE to get the details.

🧠 Ask Better Questions. Get Better Results.

If you’re working with women in peri or post-menopause, it’s time to level up your conversations. Here’s why:

🤔 Not asking about menopause symptoms or hormones? You’re potentially missing a huge piece of the puzzle. These things affect energy, recovery, motivation—and your client’s ability to show up. Learn how to ask in a way that feels normal, not nosy.

🫣Avoiding the pelvic floor chat? It might feel awkward, but it’s essential. You can’t safely program high-impact training or heavy lifting without knowing what’s going on down there. Asking doesn’t have to be clinical—it can be part of a normal intake convo.

🤷‍♀️Don’t ask what you’re not ready to work with. If your pre-screening form asks about joint pain or flexibility, make sure you actually know what to do with that info. Otherwise, it’s just noise.

💬 I was chatting to a THRIVE course grad recently about the importance of understanding joint range of motion—like hamstring flexibility—to better progress clients, prevent injury, and actually solve problems.

🚀 It’s not about asking more questions. It’s about asking the right ones—and knowing what to do next.

BTW—if you’re not sure what a healthy hamstring ROM looks like or how to test it, join my free online communityThe Menopause Health Hub for fitness professionals and check out my post on it.

Easy, breezy learning—no judgment.
Comment or DM me the word Hub and I’ll share the group details

2 things that must go together to build lean muscle, strengthen bones, manage weight and reduce circulating inflammation in menopause

1. Heavy weights (no more 2kg dumbbells!)
2. Having protein within an hour after your weights session
Fit pro’s- you might know this for yourself, but can you explain exactly WHY this is crucial for your female 35+ fitness clients?

Your clients don’t know what you know, so you need to help them understand that their body is different now heading into peri and post menopause, and therefore how you train and what you need to eat changes also.

If you can’t clearly explain the nuances of menopause in a way to your clients that they fully understand, they will keep repeating the same habits and you will potentially lose your client as they won’t get results.

Level up your menopause education on training and diet adaptations for women in menopause by attending my Menopause Masterclass for fitness professionals- next one Sunday May 4th on the Sunshine Coast!

👀 Fitness pros: If you think taking time off = losing money, this post is for you.

You don’t need to be grinding 24/7 or tied to your calendar to have a profitable business.

Here’s how I’ve set things up so I can travel, relax, and grow my business—even while I’m offline.

1.My paid monthly membership delivers consistent income—even when I’m not training clients live.
Recurring revenue = freedom to unplug.

2.Because I run my own business, I book masterclasses and coaching sessions around my calendar. No boss. No burnout.

3.Some of my online courses are evergreen, which means people can buy and learn anytime—without me needing to show up live.

4.I’m an affiliate for brands and programs I trust—and I offer affiliate partnerships in my own biz too. It’s a win-win for me and my graduates.

5.My CRM handles bookings, funnels, emails, content scheduling, and course access while I’m out living life.

6.Being the go-to for menopause fitness education means my workshops often sell out. Because I’m not just another PT—I’m a menopause exercise specialist.

7.I love what I do. So even when I travel, running a masterclass or coaching day,(or when I travelled with Olympic Sport) it feels like connection, not work.

8.After 20+ years in clinics and studios, my referral network helps new clients find me—without ads or hustle, plus my course graduates become part of my referral network too- meaning we can all tap into each others networks.

Ready to stop trading time for money?

There’s an easier way to run your business—especially if you’re passionate about making a difference in womens’ health and fitness for those aged 35+.

Want to learn how to this in your business?
