Working with Pain, Movement & Kindness

In my role with the NHS as a rehab coach, I have the privilege of supporting patients living with pain—whether it’s arthritis, back pain, fibromyalgia, or other long-term conditions. Every person’s journey with pain is unique, but one thing I’ve learned—both from my own experience of living with a long-term health condition and through my work—is that kindness and movement go hand in hand.

I understand first-hand how exhausting and frustrating pain can be. That empathy allows me to connect with my patients on a deeper level. It’s not just about exercises or treatment plans—it’s about listening, validating their experiences, and finding small, sustainable ways forward.

Movement plays a huge role in managing pain, but it doesn’t have to be big or overwhelming. Sometimes it’s the smallest steps—gentle stretches, mindful walking, or learning how to move differently—that make the biggest difference. When we approach movement with compassion, rather than pressure, our bodies and minds begin to respond.

💚 My belief is simple:
• Be kind to yourself
• Listen to your body
• Keep moving in ways that nourish , not punish

Through patience, empathy, and a better understanding of how our bodies work, we can discover that living well with pain is possible.

The more I learn, the more I realise how much still needs to be talked about.

Over the past few months I’ve been diving deeper into understanding menopause and perimenopause — not just the physical changes, but the impact on fitness, nutrition, weight loss, and overall wellbeing. And what I’ve discovered is this: women over 35 are too often overlooked, misunderstood, or told to just “get on with it.”

But the truth is, our bodies change. Our hormones shift. What worked for us in our 20s doesn’t always work in our 40s or beyond. And that’s not failure — that’s biology.

As a PT and rehabilitation coach, and as a woman walking this road myself, I’m passionate about changing that conversation. I want women to feel supported, not shamed. To understand how to train in a way that works with their body, not against it. To eat in a way that nourishes, rather than restricts. To know that weight loss, strength, energy, and confidence are all still possible — with the right tools and knowledge.

This is why I’m continuing to educate myself in women’s health and wellbeing. Because the more I learn, the more I can share. And the more I share, the more women I can help feel stronger, healthier, and more like themselves again.

Here’s to empowering women through every stage of life — not just the easy seasons. 💛

I’ll be honest — I haven’t been exercising as much as I’d like lately.

Between working as a rehabilitation coach for the NHS, being a mum to my 5-year-old twin girls, and supporting my PT clients, my own workouts have been the first thing to slide. And with that comes guilt.

Guilt that I’m not practising what I preach.
Guilt that I’m putting everyone else first.
Guilt that I’m somehow “failing” at the very thing I love.
Guilt that I’m not even showing up here on social media the way I’d like — posting workouts, tips, or motivation.
t’s easy to feel like I’m failing at all of it.

But here’s what I know:
💛 Movement doesn’t have to be perfect to matter.
💛 Social media isn’t real life — showing up for my family, patients, and clients is.
💛 Seasons shift. This busy one won’t last forever, and I’ll find my rhythm again.

Life has seasons, and this one is demanding. I’m showing up every day for my patients, my clients, and my family — and that’s movement, energy, and resilience in its own way.

So if you’re in the same place, feeling guilty for not doing “enough,” please hear this:
💛 You are not failing.
💛 You are human.
💛 Moving when you can is always better than nothing — and rest matters too.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about giving ourselves permission to be real, and knowing that we can always find our way back when life allows.

Living in remission with Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) is something I’m incredibly grateful for — but it’s not without its challenges. The treatments, the hospital stays, and the uncertainty that once dominated everyday life have eased. On the surface, things look “normal” again. But remission doesn’t mean the journey is over. It just means the disease is quiet — for now.There’s a quiet fear that lingers in the background. Every ache, every cough, every wave of fatigue makes me wonder: is it coming back? It’s a thought I rarely say out loud, but it’s always there, tucked into the corners of my mind. GPA is unpredictable, and while I try not to let it control me, I’ve learned to listen closely to my body — perhaps more than most people do.Remission brings hope, but also a delicate balancing act between living life fully and staying vigilant. I manage it with regular check-ups, medication, and lifestyle changes. But perhaps more importantly, I manage it by acknowledging the fear without letting it consume me. I’ve come to realise that being afraid doesn’t make me weak — it makes me human.To anyone else living with GPA or any chronic condition in remission: you are not alone. It’s okay to feel relief and worry in the same breath. It’s okay to enjoy your good days while still carrying that small voice of caution. That’s the reality of life after a serious illness — complex, fragile, and incredibly precious.

May is Vasculitis Awareness Month – and a Special Milestone for Me

This May is deeply personal. It’s Vasculitis Awareness Month – a time to shine a light on a rare and often misunderstood group of autoimmune diseases. I live with Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA), a form of vasculitis that has challenged me in countless ways, but has also shaped my purpose and passion.

This month also marks 10 years since I opened my women’s fitness and wellbeing business JinFit – a space built to empower, support, and educate women through every life phase. From movement and mindset to navigating menopause and chronic conditions, it’s been an incredible journey of growth, resilience, and community.

Alongside running my business, I’m proud to work in the NHS as a rehabilitation coach, helping patients rebuild strength, confidence, and independence. Supporting others – especially those facing their own health battles – is at the heart of everything I do.

Living with GPA has taught me that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s physical, emotional, and deeply personal. My mission is to blend lived experience with professional expertise, to show others that with the right support, you can live fully – even with a diagnosis that tries to say otherwise.

Here’s to 10 years of making movement meaningful, raising awareness, and continuing to advocate for those living with invisible illnesses.
