Just finished my final group coaching workshop of the year 🥳
Wow, what a year it’s been launching my business - I feel so incredibly lucky to have had the chance to coach so many amazing women. I’ve particularly enjoyed the group coaching because it seems that when you get a group of women together and you start to talk about things like diets, diet culture, relationship with food and body image - so many realisations are had. It’s an honour to be able to help a woman let go of all the diet rules that are controlling her and help her to find balance in her life again.

I love my job and I’m so excited to see what next year brings.

Thank you so much to all the people who have supported me and my business - particularly my amazing husband who didn’t laugh at me when I told him what my crazy idea was - he just set about converting the garage to make this amazing office for me ❤️❤️❤️

Here’s to more opportunities in 2026 ✨

I’ve been super quiet over here - pleased to say that I’m just very busy with business and coaching lovely clients both locally and also online which I’m really enjoying 💚

I thought I’d reshare some of my recipes from last year just in case you need some inspiration.

This one I come back to time and time again 😍

There’s more nutrition “advice” out there than ever before. And with that comes so many rules - “eat this, don’t eat that, eat at this time, never eat this….” It’s no wonder so many women are more confused and overwhelmed that ever.

Maybe simplicity and back to basics nutrition is where we all need to bring ourselves back to.

That’s what I teach 💚🩷

The darker evenings have always hit me hard.
Less light. Less energy. More pressure.
And before I know it, I’m standing in the kitchen, looking for something to take the edge off.

For years I thought that meant I had no willpower.
Now I know it’s just my body and brain looking for comfort - for a bit of calm in the chaos.

So this winter, instead of restriction, I’m focusing on regulation.
Here’s what’s been helping me lately 👇

🌤️ getting as much daylight in my eyes as possible (even a few minutes helps)
🍳 regular fuelling — especially breakfast
🚶‍♀️ early movement — I never feel like going out in the evenings
🍲 taking the pressure off dinner — some nights are big family meals, others are soup & toastie or picky-plate nights
📅 holding my boundaries and not overloading my diary
🛒 booking the same food delivery slot each week — one less decision to make
⏸️ and building in the pause before snacking — that tiny moment to check in with myself before reaching for food

Sometimes I still eat the snack — and that’s okay.
But pausing helps me notice what I actually need: light, rest, warmth, or a bit of breathing space.

You’re not lacking discipline if you’re craving comfort right now.
You’re just human — and your body’s trying to find balance in the dark. 💛

Different year, same sh*t 🙄

Every year, it’s the same trap.
The diet industry tells you to “be good” in December, “make up for it” in January… and keeps you stuck in the same exhausting cycle.

Starve for the party 👗
Binge through Christmas 🎅
Hate yourself by January ❌

And they profit from every single part if it.
Think about it - they dont even want their diets to work for you long term - they want you to keep coming back again and again and again 🌀

If you’re done falling for it - you’re in the right place 🙌🏻

There was a time when pizza on a Wednesday night - just because it was Fireworks Night - came with a whole list of conditions.

Maybe I’d cook myself something different and watch the family eat.
Maybe I’d eat it quickly, then reach for chocolate because “I’d already ruined it.”
Maybe I’d mentally tally up the calories or promise myself I’d “be good tomorrow.”

When I look back now, I just feel sad.
I was putting so much pressure on myself.
No wonder I felt constantly exhausted and disconnected from food - and from myself.

Now?
I eat the pizza.
Slowly. Happily.
With zero guilt and a whole lot more peace.

Because food was never the problem - the rules were.
And when you finally unlearn them, it changes everything. 💚

I have a bank of these “rescue meals” for those days when you’re super busy, you forget to eat and need something nourishing to fill you up and keep you going until your next meal.

Most people aren’t eating enough fibre and one way to easily increase that is by eating more beans and pulses - they’re also a source of protein 💪🏽

All you need: (serves 2 - pop the leftover beans in the fridge for lunch tomorrow 🙌🏻)
🫘 Tin of butterbeans
🌶️ Cajun seasoning + smoked paprika
💧 Splash of stock
🥄 Spoon of crème fraîche

5 minutes → creamy, smoky, protein and fibre packed comfort.

Imagine receiving this review as a voice note 🥹

The reason this client did so well wasn’t luck - it’s because she was ready for real, lasting change.
She wasn’t chasing fast results or another short-term fix.
She wanted support to build a rock-solid routine and lifestyle that actually fit her life.

When cravings hit, when she felt exhausted or overwhelmed, she didn’t hide it - she shared it.
And that’s when the real work happened.
Together, we coached through those moments so she could stop using food as a coping strategy - something she’d relied on for years.

This is what happens when you’re supported, nourished, and understood. I’m so looking forward to working with her again when she returns to work soon 💚
