Freedom Fitness and Wellbeing

Sometimes self-care isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about pausing, noticing, and just being. 🌿☕
I’m training to be a therapist, and alongside personal training, I now offer wellbeing coaching too. Our sessions don’t have to be about lifting weights or intense workouts—they can be a mindful walk, a chat, or simply sitting together, having a cup of tea, and holding space.
If you want someone to listen, support you, and create a safe, judgment-free space, I’d love to help. 💛

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums out there showing up, for your kids, for your family, and for yourselves 💪❤️. Today, I’m celebrating in my own way: workouts done ✅, dogs walked 🐶, and making time for myself while still being ‘mum.’ Whether it’s lifting, running, yoga, or just taking a quiet moment, showing up for YOU is part of the journey too. Here’s to all the strong, unstoppable mums who lift, move, and care for themselves while loving fiercely. You deserve it. ✨ ”

Balancing family, fitness, and life isn’t always neat.

Some mornings, I feel full of energy and hit the weights or a cardio session. Other mornings, I swap a run for a walk or do a lighter session, because life, family, and energy levels don’t always line up.

Being in a blended family brings its own dynamics: routines differ, meals happen at all hours, and energy ebbs and flows in ways you can’t always predict. Some days I have a little solo time to focus on myself. Other days, I’m fully in family mode, adjusting workouts, meals, and routines to what works in the moment.

As a PT and counselling student, I’ve learned that health isn’t just about calories, sets, or reps. It’s about listening to your body, adapting when you need to, and giving yourself permission to slow down — especially when life is busy and complex.

Why We Can’t Stop Fixating on “Flaws”

Ever notice how your brain latches onto the part of your body you least like, maybe your hips, belly, or thighs and refuses to let it go? 🧠

Here’s why: humans have a negativity bias,we notice what’s “wrong” more than what’s right. Combine that with societal pressures and constant comparison, and suddenly that tiny imperfection feels huge.

The good news? You can train your brain to see your body differently. Shifting attention, mindful movement, and gentle self-talk all help reduce fixation and build a healthier relationship with yourself.

Curious how to make this work for your body and mind? 💛

Why I love bicycle crunches:

✅ Obliques & Core – Twisting motion engages your side abs and deep core stabilizers.
✅ Hip Flexors – Helps with lower-body strength and stability for squats, wall sits, and glute bridges.
✅ Coordination & Control – Slow, deliberate movement trains mind-muscle connection.

Some of my clients have been working on these too, and the improvements in core strength and posture have been incredible! 💪

Bicycle crunches aren’t just about abs ,they build stability, control, and resilience. Focus on quality over speed, and feel every twist.

My Time Before the Day Begins

I wake up early not to punish myself, not to prove anything ,
but to have a little space that belongs only to me.

Before messages.
Before responsibilities.
Before the day takes over.

This is my time.

⸻

🌿 No Pressure, No Rushing

The goal isn’t intensity.
It’s presence.

Some mornings I’ll train hard.
Some mornings I’ll move gently.
Both count.

This hour is about starting the day feeling grounded instead of reactive.

⸻

🌿 Moving for Me

Movement isn’t a task on a checklist.
It’s a way to wake up my body and clear my mind.

I’m not chasing perfection.
I’m building steadiness.

⸻

🌿 Protecting My Energy

When I start the day slowly and intentionally:
• I feel less rushed.
• I make calmer decisions.
• I’m less likely to stress-eat or snap.
• I feel more in control of my choices.

That’s the real win.

⸻

🌿 Gentle Reminders
• “This time is mine.”
• “I don’t need to rush.”
• “I can move at my own pace.”
• “Caring for myself isn’t selfish.”

I’ve been a personal trainer since 2011. I started out at DW Sports in Northampton, then moved towards the Market Harborough area, working at Swim Gym, Fit Zone and The Training Shed alongside some freelance PT. Since 2014, I’ve been running my own PT business from home, with a small studio-based gym focused on functional training — and I sometimes head out to clients’ homes too.

Along the way, I’ve gained qualifications in:
• Spinning
• Vibe Cycle
• TRX
• Kettlebells
• Pre & postnatal
• Sports nutrition
• Hypnotherapy

More recently, I’ve decided to go down the route of psychotherapeutic counselling, because I truly believe the mind and body are deeply connected, especially when it comes to health and wellbeing.

My own journey into fitness started with weight loss — I was very much a cardio queen — and I fell in love with health and movement along the way. I’ve always been active, even while managing my own health challenges, and that’s shaped how I approach training and wellbeing now.

Outside of work, I love staying active in all forms:
• Walking
• Strength training
• Mountain biking
• Running
• Pilates
• Football (mainly with the kids)

I like giving pretty much anything a go. I’ve done OCR races, 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, Hyrox events, and even snowboarded in Japan. These days, I move in ways that support my body and energy, rather than pushing it for the sake of it.

I’m really grateful for everyone who’s followed my journey so far — here’s to movement, balance, and looking after both mind and body 🤍

Apparently, you don’t need to lift heavy weights or run a marathon to pull a muscle… sometimes all it takes is sleeping awkwardly 😅

Yep, I’ve pulled my intercostal again. Not my first rodeo with this one, and definitely not my most graceful moment. But hey, injuries happen, even to trainers.

The good news? You can still train smart, modify your workouts, and focus on what you can do rather than what you can’t. Today, my intercostal-friendly session includes legs, glutes, and arms, ribs staying out of it, thank you very much.

Moral of the story: listen to your body, laugh at the absurdity, and yes… sometimes you’ll get hurt by your own bed 😂

Anyone else ever woken up and thought, “How did this happen?” You’re not alone.
💪🏻

First week back. Luteal phase. Grief.

Energy is low. Mood is flat. Motivation is… minimal.
The joys and delights 🙃

Right now, I’m not chasing discipline — I’m choosing kindness.
30 minutes of gentle strength because I know it helps me feel steadier.
Regular meals even when my head feels foggy.
Support over isolation (coffee with a good friend helped more than I expected ☕️).

If you’re in a low-energy season — hormonally, emotionally, or both —
showing up gently still counts.

Back slowly. Softly. Supported. 🤍
