Core Restore Physio & Fitness I am passionate about health & wellbeing, and work hard in assisting you to achieve your goals however large or small.

I adopt an intuitive approach in Physiotherapy, mirroring this in Pilates classes, which are social and a good workout

📚 ✨ School’s back…. and so are Pilates classes! 🙌🏼

With the kids back in routine, it’s the perfect time to refocus on YOUR health, strength & wellbeing.

🧘‍♀️ Join us on the mat next week and let’s move, stretch & reset together 💪

❤️ Can’t wait to see you all! Xx

This is me downing tools for a few weeks, for some well deserved R&R. 🤩

I purposefully crafted my business to be able to be off with my wee ones for (most) of the school holidays - work to live not live to work! 🙌🏼 😉

I love my job - and I work damn hard at it - but I find as the years go by I need more than ever some downtime to regroup, rest & replenish 👌❤️

See you on the flip side! ☀️ 🏖️

What a way to finish for Summer! 👌 💪

Two of this morning’s classes giving it their all for our Pilates and then the Strength class… well done everyone!

☀️ Summer break = more ways to move!

Our regular classes are taking a little holiday until the week of Sept 8th, but that doesn’t mean your movement has to stop!

🏖️ Morning stretches
🚶‍♀️ Sunny walks
🏊‍♀️ 🚲 Swimming or cycling
🧘‍♀️ Mini “holiday” Pilates sessions

Keep your body happy & strong with small bursts of movement - your September self will thank you for it 😉

She’s done! Last class taught last night 😭

Lots of luck for the rest of your pregnancy and safe arrival of your wee girl later this year 🍼 👣 🩷

Don’t forget us! 😘
We definitely want some visits and cuddles 🥰

With Eva joining the team, we’re having a shuffle around for the evening Pilates classes; Eva will now be taking Monday night, and Cath taking Tuesdays & Wednesdays from September

We’ll miss you Emma!
Hopefully it’s not the end of your Pilates teaching with the team though 😘 ###

Not the biggest.

Or the bulkiest.

💪 But the strongest - relative to its size

😮 This small, powerful organ can expand over 500 times its normal size, generate enough force to bring new life into the world and contract with astonishing intensity - whether during labour, menstruation or or**sm.

And yet… here’s the kicker…..

😔 We’re often taught to see it as a source of pain, inconvenience and/or weakness

I challenge you to flip that script 🙌🏼

This muscle - OUR muscle - is an amazing symbol of endurance, adaptability and fierce strength.

👌 Just like the women who carry it.

🌟 Here’s to every woman living my in a body that works hard, feels deeply and keeps showing up.

❤️ You’re incredible ladies

Welcome to the team Eva! 🙌

Eva fell in love with Pilates after using it to rehab from a running injury a few years ago- and hasn’t looked back since!

Working in the NHS during the day on the management team for rare conditions, she’ll be a familiar face over Summer classes and more permanently from September

Something tells me Eva will be fully leveraging her Pilates repertoire to ensure the Monday night classes get some great workouts 😉👌🏼

You can find out more about Eva here ⬇️

Fun fact:
Eva is a fully certified APPI Matwork Clinical Pilates instructor (levels 1-3 & exam certified) just like Emma and I - though she had to learn a whole heap of additional anatomy & physiology to become clinically certified. Go Eva! ⭐️

This is the beaut smoothie I made the other day which has all kinds of menopausal benefits…. Personally I loved it.

Don’t be put off by the veggies- you can’t even taste them… even my 6 year old loved it (and he won’t eat green veg!!) 😉

💚 spinach; rich in Vit C, fibre and assists the liver in detoxification. Great hormone health veggie

🤍 cauliflower. Similar to spinach, cruciferous veggies can support hormone health by lessening oestrogen dominance (which is what leads to many perimenopause symptoms)

🤎 Flaxseed contains lignans which are potent phyto-oestrogens, and can assist with lessening menopause symptoms (especially hot flushes & memory issues)

🥝🍐 and of course the choice of fruits to add natural sweetness, high fibre and vit C (so great for sluggish bowels & immune system)

And not to forget protein so that you’re satiated until lunchtime and supportive of muscle synthesis 💪🏼

Recipe ⬇

1 cup dairy-free milk
1 pear
1 kiwifruit
1 cup baby spinach
1 cup cauliflower
1 tablespoon flaxseed
1 scoop protein powder

Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.

Enjoy!

🌿 “I feel able to LIVE again.”

That’s what one of my 1:1 menopause coaching clients told me recently.

And honestly? I had to pause when I read it. Because that’s what this work is about.

✨ Not just understanding hormones
✨ Not just navigating symptoms
✨ But helping women feel safe, supported, and back in control of their bodies and lives.

She went on to say:

“You are clearly hugely knowledgeable but were able to explain things in a way I could understand… Honestly, I felt safe in your hands.”

That’s the goal.

Not perfection. Not pressure. Just personalised support rooted in evidence, empathy, and YOU at the centre.

If you’re feeling lost in the fog of menopause - I see you. And I’d love to help you feel like you again.

As an award-winning Women’s Health expert and menopause specialist, I have 25 years of experience in helping women navigate menopause symptoms with confidence and ease

If you’re midlife, working out harder than ever… and still watching the weight creep up; I hear you.

This phase isn’t about pushing more.

It’s about living smarter.

💡 You might be focused on the wrong fix

🧬 In menopause, cortisol sensitivity increases, and sleep disturbances become the norm- both of which impact fat storage far more than we ever realised. And far more than it did in our younger self.

So, if you’re
❌ Exhausted
❌Eating ‘clean’
❌ Still gaining weight (especially around the belly)

It’s not willpower - it’s biology

👉🏼 Start with sleep
👉🏼 Calm your system
👉🏼Train wisely - not endlessly
👉🏼 Nourish - don’t deprive

You’re not broken.
Your body isn’t failing you.
It’s asking for something different

✅ You just need a different approach

💬 Tell me below: What’s been the hardest part of managing weight in menopause for you?

💦 Have you noticed you can’t quench your thirst in this hot hot weather we’re having, no matter how much water you drink? 🔥

Here’s why!

💦 Water itself isn’t actually that hydrating - though it is a good choice for a place to start,

🧂add a pinch of salt (or 1/8 tsp) to a large glass of water. If you’re sweating you’re losing losing sodium and affecting electrolyte balance, so a pinch of salt in your water could improve things

🍋🥒adding sliced lemon or a dash of lemon to water can also improve electrolyte balance; this time via potassium, though it also includes Vit C and antioxidants. I’d advise to drink through a straw though as the acidity can affect teeth enamel negatively if regularly consumed. Cucumber is another option with less acidity

🥥Coconut water (not milk) is a natural electrolyte containing potassium, sodium, magnesium & calcium; perfect for rehydration and much more beneficial than tablets or sports drinks; I recommend to my running clients to train with this all the time
