🧗‍♀️ I’m happy to share that I’ve completed the Climbing Therapy in Psychotherapy and Experiential Education program at the Institute for Climbing Therapy in Bad Ischl, Austria!

The past week has been intense, reflective, and full of insight — a welcomed addition to my toolbox for working with climbers both on and off the wall. 💭

Throughout the course, we explored:

• How climbing can support mental health through trust, fear work, self-esteem, body awareness & executive function

• The role of climbing in supporting those with depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD & personality disorders

• Designing climbing activities to explore emotional and behavioural patterns

• The art of verbal interventions depending on your role — therapist, instructor, facilitator

• Practical partner & team exercises with debrief methods for therapeutic or experiential aims

Grateful to be learning, growing and connecting movement with mental health 💚

🧗‍♀️🧠 I was recently interviewed for BMC Summit Magazine to talk about eating disorders in the climbing community—a topic that needs more attention and open conversation. As a nutritional therapist, I shared insights on how to recognise disordered eating behaviours, where to seek help, and how to start shifting our relationship with food in a more supportive direction.

Whether it’s restriction, control, or eating for emotional relief, these patterns can show up subtly—especially in performance-driven environments like climbing. But awareness is the first step.

You can read the full article BMC Summit #118 Summer 2025 (pages 22–25) through the link in bio.

Let’s keep talking about this to help make climbing a space that supports both physical performance and mental wellbeing.

Do you ever feel the need to eat—even when you’re not truly hungry?

Maybe you’ve just eaten, but there’s still a craving.

This is more common than you think—and often, it has little to do with physical hunger. Instead, we may be seeking a dopamine boost—a way to comfort, soothe, or re-energise ourselves when we’re bored, overwhelmed, or emotionally low.

🍽️ Mindful eating helps us explore:
— Why am I eating right now?
— What am I really needing?
— How do I feel during and after eating?

Sometimes we eat out of habit, stress, or even as a form of control. I recently spoke about this in BMC’s Summit Magazine #118 Summer 2025 (link in bio)—on how exercise can shift our eating behaviours and our relationship with food.

Mindful eating isn’t about rules. It’s about tuning into yourself with curiosity and compassion. Here are a few ways to start:
✨ Eat your mouth empty before the next bite
✨ Smell your food—half of the flavour is in the aroma
✨ Notice flavours and textures as you chew
✨ Explore how swallowing your food feels like
