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

What I see repeatedly working in Women’s Health isn’t about effort or commitment.

It’s women training hard in bodies that respond differently to load, stress, recovery, and energy availability – often without being told, or understanding - that this difference matters.

Hormones, menstrual cycles (including hormonal contraception), nutrition, bone and muscle health, and major life stages like pregnancy and menopause all influence how a woman’s body tolerates running, whether you’re a weekend park runner or an elite athlete and everything in between

When these factors aren’t considered, performance can feel inconsistent, niggles become injuries, the same injuries repeat over and over, and suddenly running isn’t fun anymore. Events need to be rescheduled, and it feels hard work just to put one foot in front of the other.

If you want to find you in running again, to know more about how your unique physiology affects how you run, recover and rest, my upcoming webinar will help you understand what to pay attention to, and why - and of course how to fix it 😉

When sleep symptoms show up for me, I try to approach myself the same way I would a client.

I look for patterns.

What’s my current workload? How full is my plate? What’s achievable for me right now? What has the highest priority need?

Sometimes the most supportive approach isn’t adding another strategy, it’s adjusting expectations. Creating more breathing space. Creating sustainability. Thinking long term rather than quick fix.

This, for me, is what menopausal care looks like - effective, sustainable, lifestyle habits that fit real life.

There’s no shortage of sleep advice out there; some of it is useful and some of it misses the mark.

I often hear things like:
💤 “I’ve done all the sleep hygiene things but nothing’s changed

💤 “I’ve cut out caffeine”

💤 “I’m exhausted… but still wired”

💤 “I don’t know what else to try”

These strategies aren’t wrong; they’re just rarely enough on their own during perimenopause & menopause.

So many factors influence sleep quality & quantity: hormones, stress, recovery, what, when & how you’re eating, exercise duration & timing…. these are just a few.

Without looking at those pieces, it’s easy to be left confused and frustrated

Context matters. Always.

😴 Sleep disruption in perimenopause & menopause is really common.

But it’s rarely just about sleep.

Sleep is one of the most sensitive systems in the body. It responds to hormonal shifts, stress load, blood sugar fluctuations, body temperature and many many other factors.

Which is why what worked for you once, may suddenly stop working for you now.

Midlife changes the rules slightly, and we need a degree of resilience and flexibility to adjust to what our body is signalling we need …. In that moment.

If sleep starts to feel unpredictable, try zooming out to look at the bigger picture.

Everything is interconnected 😉

💤 Poor sleep quality and/or duration is linked to a whole myriad of perimenopause symptoms. I’m talking things like weight gain, skin issues, bodily aches and pains, headaches, hot flushes, night sweats, brain fog, mood swings, PMS symptoms… the list goes on!

💤 Where perimenopause & menopause is concerned, the key to getting a good night’s sleep is open to more than just one avenue, and that’s why, when I am working with clients, I draw on my 25 years of experience in helping women navigate menopause symptoms, approaching sleep health as one of the foundational pillars of my individualised framework, alongside nutrition, movement and building resilience to stressors.

If you are ready to be supported to get to grips with unruly hormones and:

😴 Fall asleep and stay asleep without needing a p*e in the middle of the night

😴 Drop some of that Mum guilt when your child refuses to do their homework, or still hasn’t brushed their teeth, (despite the fact you have asked them already 10 times) because you have remained calm, and in control

😴 Shift how you are storing fat, so you can ditch the muffin top, and feel confident in your clothes

😴 Feel on top of your game at work and home

😴 Reconnect with the loved ones in your life

😴 Feel supercharged. Every. Single. Day.

💤 How good would it feel to master your sleep and wake up feeling recharged and revitalised? What if weight gain melted away without the need to diet, and you could enjoy food again? Or you could part the cloud of brain fog to reclaim your clarity, focus and vitality? What if the physical and mental sluggishness could be banished for good?

➡️ Drawing on 25 years experience as an award-winning Women’s Health expert and menopause specialist, I can help you achieve dreamy nights and vibrant days, so that you can reclaim your sleep, and the ripple effect that having a good night’s sleep achieves 🙌🏼

I went to a funeral today.
For a gorgeously gentle soul, taken far too soon.

I was one of the privileged ones who was able to spend time with her in her final weeks. I read to her - completely unable to hold back the tears. Much like today. Much like when I first wrote this. Much like when I think of how unfair life can be at times.

This beautiful piece by so perfectly reflects the essence of a woman whose kindness rippled far beyond what she ever realised.

Rest easy, Kath.
You fought bravely.
You will be missed deeply.
You mattered greatly to all who had the privilege of knowing you.

Thank you for coming into my life. It has been an honour to care for you ❤️

🌸 Estradiol
Our most common naturally occurring oestrogen during child-bearing years.
Produced mainly in the ovaries, it has 400+ functions, including protective roles for bone, heart, brain, skin and metabolic health.

🌸 Estrone
This is the oestrogen we’re generally left with after menopause.
Made in fat tissue (especially abdominal fat), the adrenals and liver.
It doesn’t offer the same protective benefits as estradiol and higher levels are associated with increased hormonal cancer risk; the midlife muffin top suddenly makes a lot more sense 🫠

🌸 Estriol
The weakest form of oestrogen, produced by the placenta during pregnancy.
It’s not protective systemically, but can be brilliant for relieving vaginal dryness when used locally.

There are also other types of oestrogen, including:

❗️ Synthetic oestrogens
(found in hormonal contraception & some HRT preparations)

❗️ Xenoestrogens
(from plastics, pesticides & pollutants)
Sneaky hormone imposters that mimic oestrogen, over-stimulate receptors and quietly fuel hormonal chaos.

✅ Phytoestrogens 🌱
Found in plants & whole foods.
They’re the good guys 🙌🏼 binding those same receptors more gently and competitively, helping dial down the noise and support hormonal balance.

2026 word of the year: GRATEFUL 🙏

Not because everything’s been easy.
Not because everything’s gone to plan.

But because the forced slowness I’ve been adopting thanks to surgery has reminded me of so many things I might otherwise have rushed past (oh hello creative brain 😉)

✨ Grateful for my body and all the time and effort I’ve put into making it strong - even when it’s been challenged.

✨ Grateful for function, resilience, and the ability to adapt. I have to say I’m quite enjoying sick leave (I NEVER thought I’d say that!)

✨ Grateful for the privilege of doing work I love, with people who trust me with their health and wellbeing.

✨ Grateful for the community we’ve created together; the laughter, support, kindness, and showing up.

Things at the moment are slower.
More reflective.
Less about pushing, more about noticing.

And that’s exactly why grateful feels right.

Do you choose a word of the year?
If you do, I’d love to know what yours is ❤️

2026 intentions 🌱

I don’t really do ‘New Year, New Me’.
And I’m stepping away from big, shiny goals this year too - honestly, I think we set ourselves up to fail with an immense amount of pressure at the start of the year to make it the ‘best yet’… of course often the year has entirely different plans 😵‍💫😉

Instead, I’m setting intentions:

✨ To protect my energy as carefully as my diary

✨ To prioritise strength, function & recovery - in my body and my work

✨ To build systems & habits that support my nervous system, not overwhelm it

✨ To say no more often, and yes more intentionally

✨ To value consistency over intensity

✨ To keep community at the heart of everything I do ❤️

Progress doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.

Sometimes it looks like steadiness.

Sometimes it looks like rest.

If you choose intentions over goals I see you 🤩

And if you don’t choose either, that’s okay too 💓

2025 recap ✨
(a little late but still very real)

At the start of 2025, I had big plans.
Events. Workshops. Retreats. Courses. Even the beginnings of a book.

Some of that didn’t happen.
And I tell myself that’s okay.

Because this year still looked like this:

🏆 Award nomination & finalist ceremony
🩺 432 clinic appointments
💪 572 Pilates & strength classes
👯‍♀️ 197 people showing up weekly
🎥 12 recorded Pilates classes
🧠 6 menopause workshops & trainings
🌸 10 M33 menopause support sessions
🤍 6 women supported 1:1 through menopause coaching
🎀 £500+ raised for Breast Cancer Now
🩼 1 surgery navigated
❤️ 1 absolutely incredible community ❤️

It’s also been a challenging year behind the scenes - as a mum, a business owner, and in my own body. Possibly one of my hardest yet.
Less capacity. Less creativity. Very little downtime.

But I’m here. Still standing. Still grateful. 😉

Impact doesn’t always look how we expect it to, and this year definitely reminded me of that.

Thank you, as ever, for being part of it ❤️

05/01/2026

I’ve turned my work phone & email back on and lots of messages are asking the same question… so a wee reminder, classes are back NEXT WEEK from Monday 12th 😉

All term dates are also on your invoices if you need to check start/finish dates

Hope you’re all looking forward to next week 🤩
