Real health should support your life… not consume it.

More and more, this is how I approach my coaching, my training and my career & life as a whole ✨

(Also lol one day I’ll learn to take to the camera and not off to the side of the room)

A pretty compelling reason to stay strong (and self employed) 🏞️🧗‍♀️✨

Took the boy out on a hike (all 14kgs of him plus water and picnic) with the backpack to explore the Mendips and all that we’re flipping THRILLED to have on our doorstep 🥹 some verrrrry steep climbs on the way up were a real test of strength but it was so worth it for the views… and the surprise ponies!

Adventure time with Rudy might just make Monday my new favourite day ✨

Done much jumping lately? If the answer is “no ma’am” …here’s a few compelling reasons you should start ✨

1) Jump training strengthens your bones. One of the top causes of death and disability in older women is osteoporosis so if we want to future proof our bodies - jump!
2) Improves balance and stability which reduces injury risk
3) Gets your heart rate gooooooin so great as part of a high intensity/sprint interval workout which, in turn, improves metabolic rate and overall strength & fitness

It doesn’t have to be a box jump or anything high to start with, any form of jumping will do. Pogo jumps, tuck jumps, long jumps, jump squats… whatever feels most accessible for the level you’re at. Let’s get powerful 🤜

I was 14 when I decided to stop eating.
It felt totally logical to me as a teen didn’t believe I could be happy, loved or successful unless I was *skinny*.
Now I’m a mum, I want to do all I can to raise confident, resilient children who never place conditions on their worth.
I’ve written about it on Substack, cause that’s a thing I’ve started doing.

One of my fave meals of the day (it’s definitely in my top 3 🙃)

Lots of my clients struggle with breakfast ideas and how to get a nice dose of protein first thing (something I highly recommend to set you up well for the day). Here are a few of my breakfasts from last week:

1) porridge (made with soy milk if you’re vegan or don’t do well with dairy as it’s higher in protein) and topped with a bit of greek yog or kefir, berries and nut butter
2) bagel with scrambled egg, avo and optional spinach and sauerkraut for extra goodness
3) overnight oats made with greek yog, chia seeds and flaxseeds, topped with blueberries & sunflower seeds
4) yoghurt bowl (this was a mix of skyr and kefir) with banana, oats, almonds & berries

No super processed foods and not trying to “cut calories” - just focussing on nutrient dense, whole foods as much as possible. Happy breakfasting!!

We’re often told to add more for our health… more supplements, more workouts, more hacks 🫠
But sometimes feeling better is about reducing, not adding (but i’m not talking about calories!)

- Less stress (easier said than done, I know).
- Less screen time (your eyes and brain will thank you).
- Less ultra-processed food (progress > perfection here).

We really don’t need extremes, guilt or shaming.  Just small (hopefully collective) shifts that add up over time.

Save this for later + tell me — which one would you start with?

I became a PT for aaaall the wrong reasons

I wasn’t someone that always knew what they wanted to do. I did a degree in English mostly because uni was something people did and I was quite good at the subject, but I didn’t feel particularly passionate about what my future career would or could be.

I trained to be a personal trainer at 21, not long after finishing that degree. At the time I was still (though in total denial about it) deeply disordered in my eating and exercise behaviours. My diet was extremely calorie controlled, and thoughts around food, exercise and the size of my body took up a depressingly large proportion of my thoughts. I wasn’t feeling fulfilled in the job that I was in, but I enjoyed going to the gym every day and figured - why not make that my job? In retrospect, quite problematic to choose a career that further solidified fitness, exercise, food, “wellness” making up my entire existence when my relationship with it was still as dysfunctional as it was.

It seems it’s possible to make the right decisions for the wrong reasons, though. Seeing other women put themselves down, restricting and punishing themselves with exercise and diets and being part of their healing journey, ended up helping me to heal too.

I’m SO grateful I took this path and discovered a “passion to train women to tap into their strength - in a calm and empathetic way” (tysm for the beautiful words Abi!!)

So there’s my life story (or a few years of it) that no one asked for….and a big bunch of gratitude for you for being here and for all the women that put their trust in me and allow me to keep making a living out of doing this really bloody great job x

If they think women with muscle ain’t it, they ain’t it. 💁🏼‍♀️

And If you, like me, think that building muscle is a VERY GOOD IDEA (because it really is) but not sure where to start, you can jump on board my new starting strength programme. An 8 week programme you can follow in your own time to build confidence and strength. You know it makes sense!!
