The S3LF Method helps ambitious women stop chasing perfection and build real, lasting mental and physical strength and fitness.

I help women who’ve tried it all finally find a way of training that feels right, lasts long, and actually fits their life via the S3LF Method.

“Why does she get results faster than me?”

I see this question come up all the time. And I get it - when you’re showing up, putting in the work, doing everything “right,” it’s frustrating to wonder why your timeline looks different to someone else’s.

But most people don’t talk about this enough…progress isn’t linear, and it’s definitely not one-size-fits-all.

Your timeline depends on so many things - your training experience, what life looks like outside the gym, how often you train, the volume and intensity you can handle, your consistency, even your genetics.

Truth is, you’re not behind. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re exactly where you need to be.

I put together this carousel to show you what I mean - using three real examples of clients all working toward the same goal (getting stronger in their upper body), but on completely different timelines because their experience, frequency, and capacity are different.

Client A isn’t “less than” Client C. She’s building the foundation that will get her there. Client C isn’t “better” - she’s earned her capacity through years of showing up.

Your chapter 1 will never look like someone else’s chapter 20. And that’s not just okay - that’s exactly how it should be, it would be weird if on day one you had the strength of Arnold Schwarzenegger, you feel me?

So instead of asking “how long will this take?” ask yourself “what’s right for me, right now, with what I’ve got?”

Because the only timeline that matters is yours.

Progress takes as long as it takes. Trust your process.

P.S. If you’re ready to learn how to build programs that actually fit YOUR timeline, YOUR life, and YOUR goals - the Build Yourself waiting list opens next week.

The self-faced course to stop you guessing, and start progressing. Drop me a 🔥 if you want the link when it goes live.

Does MORE sessions, always equal better?

It’s January. You’re pumped, I’m pumped, we’re all pumped to start training.

“Say crack (pumped) again.” Mean girl fans unite.

But let’s chat QUANTITY vs QUALITY.

Going from zero to hero with your sessions makes sense on paper, but I want you to hold your horses 🐎 (it is the year of the horse after all)

I want you to instead think about the quality of your sessions.

If we just focus on volume alone we run the risk of it being like just throwing spaghetti at a wall and hoping something sticks.

I’ve worked with plenty of women over the years where finding the sweet spot is key.

A sweet spot to find consistency.

A sweet spot to keep making solid progress.

A sweet spot where they’re not wasting their time and energy.

That’s why in the S3LF method we focus on…

Who you are + what you want + why it’s important to you = to create your how.

How many sessions.

How to get you there.

How to make this the best place for you to thrive.

And that might not always mean more, but it does always mean better.

Fancy that? Drop me a DM with 2026 and let’s talk.

Secret loves notes…💌

Ok maybe not so secret, because I want my clients to scream it from the rooftops if they really like.

Last year saw them…

💫 grow in confidence mentally and physically

🌱 be proud of themselves for taking the leap to learn about fitness for themselves

🏋🏽‍♀️ grow beyond just lifting heavy and truly understand how to challenge themselves beyond a PB

❤️‍🔥 find a love for the gym and exercise they thought they’d lost forever

👩🏻 find new found strength since having children

And if 2026 is your year of getting strong, fit and building confidence for yourself…then now’s your time.

I’ve got 2 spaces open for online coaching January. DM me”2026” and I’ll send over the details…let’s go! 📈 Shall we?

I wish someone had told me this.

A lot can happen in a year, more than what can happen in just a few weeks or months.

When I first started my fitness journey, I placed so much weight on moving mountains in the first few weeks. Everything felt like it needed to be done yesterday. Like I needed to overhaul my entire routine. Go from 0 to 5 sessions a week. Drink gallons of water. Transform overnight. But all good things don’t happen overnight.

I stopped thinking in weeks and started thinking in years. Not because the short-term doesn’t matter, but because I realised this wasn’t a sprint to a finish line, instead it was something I got to keep doing, keep building on, for as long as my body has a will and a way.

Think about everything that happened in 2025. How much came and went. Now think about your 2026. Maybe you’re setting intentions right now. Or maybe this is the year you finally say “I’m going to get fit” and if I’m real with you, imo there’s nowhere more rewarding to invest your efforts. Good for you girl.

But before you dive in, here’s the advice I wish I’d heard…this is a lifelong effort.

An infinite journey of growing and evolving. You never truly ‘arrive’ you just keep going. And yes, you’ll hit milestones along the way. That 5K PB. Getting stronger. Better health markers at the doctor. An improved relationship with yourself. Those really do matter. But the better news is, you get to keep going.

It’s January, and there’s a lot of fitness content in the air right now. My note to you, think beyond weeks, beyond months. Think about where this can take you this year…and the years to come. Because while you’ll see results in shorter timeframes, what makes health and fitness so exciting is that the journey doesn’t end.

And if you want a coach who’s there to guide you every step of the way. Drop me a DM. My inbox is open.

Last week of 2025 = a catch up for a hectic December 🤧

Enjoying a slower pace and sleeping like it’s going out of fashion. Hope you’re all spending the last few days of the year just as you intended ❤️

17/12/2025

I distinctly remember a Boxing Day years ago when I felt like I needed to burn off what I ate from Christmas day.

I remember calculating a guess of what I’d eaten on MyFitnessPal and being horrified by the number staring back at me, thinking, “how in baby Jesus’ name was I going to make up for this?”

And I feel really sad for that twenty-year-old who felt that way. That in order to enjoy a celebration like Christmas, it needed to be calculated back as such. Back then, I didn’t know some of my behaviours were disordered with food and exercise. And the fact that I’d probably rebelled because of such a restrictive way of living I’d become accustomed to.

And heck if someone told me that way of living was not it, I don’t think I’d have believed them. But nothing about that was “healthy”, instead it felt incredibly overwhelming, anxiety inducing and like I was constantly chasing my tail with the moral compass of being good vs bad.

But I also want you to know that those feelings can be worked through too and here’s some things that might help navigate it. Starting with…

Your mindset: This period is meant to be different. A few days of celebration won’t undo months of consistent habits. Your body is incredibly resilient and knows how to regulate itself when you give it permission to do so without rigid rules. Acknowledge hunger, fullness, what brings you joy, and memories which can’t be counted in an app.

Your approach: Add things in rather than taking them away. Drink a glass of water between each Buck’s Fizz to feel less groggy with alcohol consumption. Take a walk because it feels good to move, not because you “have to.” Exercise because you want to, not because you need to. Keep some familiar routines that ground you, like your morning coffee ritual or bedtime wind-down.

Your self-talk: Speak to yourself like you would a dear friend. If punishing thoughts come up, pause and ask yourself, would I say this to someone I love? The answer is usually and hopefully, no. You deserve the same kindness you so easily give others.

Surprise hen dos, more packing, training and running is feeling so good, plus realising karaoke is a somatic release I never knew I needed.

Unreal what singing Alanis Morissette at the top of your lungs with your best mates does for your soul ❤️‍🔥

S3LF’s 3 CORE VALUES

SELF-AWARENESS

Helping others become more aware of their habits and behaviours. Whether this is how they interact with others or how they treat themselves, the idea is to help you unlock true potential through thinking differently. My aim is to help as many people as possible realise that theirs, and every other body, should be celebrated for its uniqueness.

SELF-CARE

Promoting the principles of self-love and self-esteem by emphasising the importance of diet and exercise in everyday life. My goal is to help others understand the importance of self-care and the positive effects on our mind and body.

SELF-CONFIDENCE

Ultimately my goal is to help people to feel more confident in their own skin. Embracing healthier attitudes to food and exercise and helping breed positivity in a world which currently leaves us feeling like we’re not good enough.
