🌷Happy New Year!🌸
Anyone else follow the seasons and feel like the new year has just begun? For me winter is about rest and reflection until the brighter, warmer days return.
I've tried starting new routines in January and have usually ended up failing before I've even begun so now I embrace the stillness, keeping to a baseline and instead wake with the rush of energy that Spring brings 🌿

I'm calling this weekend my Wake-up Weekend.

I have been quietly beavering away on various projects though so have some exciting new opportunities to announce. I will be posting more details of each of these this week but here is a bit of a sneaky peek 🧐

SPRING RESET

Teenagers and snacking… 😅

Do you have a teen in the house? Do you do the weekly shop and two days later the cupboards look bare?
They’re growing fast, their brains are developing rapidly, and their hormones are shifting… which can mean bigger appetites and “I need food NOW” moments.

Snacks aren’t the problem, what they’re made of matters.
A snack that’s mostly sugar (or beige carbs) can spike energy fast… and then crash it just as quickly. That’s when you get the grumps, the tiredness, the “I’m hungry again” 20 minutes later.

What teens’ bodies often need for steady energy and good mood:
✅ Protein (for growth, blood sugar balance, neurotransmitters, muscle repair)
✅ Healthy fats (for hormone building blocks, brain health, focus and fullness)
✅ Fibre + colour (for gut health and better energy regulation)

A simple rule of thumb: build snacks like mini-meals.
Try pairing a protein + a healthy fat + something with fibre.

Snack ideas that actually keep them going:

🫐Greek-style yoghurt (or dairy-free yoghurt) + berries + seeds

🌰Apple/pear + nut/seed butter (or sunflower seed butter for nut-free)

🥚Boiled eggs + veggie sticks

🥠Hummus + oatcakes/wholegrain crackers

🧀Cheese (or alternatives) + fruit

🌮Leftovers! (Wraps, chicken pieces, mini omelette, rice + tuna etc.)

And for those “grab-and-go” moments… protein balls are such a win 🙌

If you’ve ever worked with me (1:1), joined one of my resets, come to a talk, or taken a course… could I ask a tiny favour?

Reviews make a huge difference for a small business like mine, they help new people find me, and they give a real sense of what it’s like to work together (especially when the algorithms decide to hide posts 🙃).

If you’ve got 60 seconds, I’d be so grateful if you could leave a quick review either on my page (at the top) or on Google (link below) - or both. Even a couple of sentences is perfect.

Thank you so much — it genuinely helps more than you know

What a fabulous session yesterday with the Women's ADHD Support group. You know it went well when everybody stays to talk for an hour afterwards (I think it was the homemade choc I took along 😆)

A wonderful group that could only be made possible with the time put in by the ladies that organise it. Thank you to Claire Morgan , Teri, and Angela for inviting me along to share this special space for the day.

Really looking forward to this on Saturday 😊

Sneak Peek at my upcoming launch news...

What do you do when you're stuck indoors as you all have stinky colds? Grab a honey and lemon and put the finishing touches on your exciting new course release obviously!

I love seeing my clients achieving their health goals and continuing towards new ones. A year ago, a routine blood pressure test sent Vicky straight to A&E and she feared for her future. Today her BP has normalised, other test results have come into normal range, symptoms have stabilised and the best bit is her confidence and feeling of self-worth have shone through. I'm in awe of the work this wonderful lady has put in 🥰 (shared with permission)

What's in the pot? A sneak peek at one of the breakfasts from my winter reset. And yes, that is a little bit of chocolate you can see 😊

Oh my word, the smell is amazing and I'm about to eat it!

Doors close in a couple of days. I'm going to open up two more spaces so if you've been thinking about joining - do it!

If not today, when?
