I'm by no means perfect or motivated all the time..

I’ve lost my running bug for most of this year (in fact, probably since I ran Tour du Mont Blanc).

I miss going off to the mountains (or hills) with JB. But after he got poorly earlier this year and I couldn’t run with him, it hit my motivation even harder.

If you've followed me for a long time, you’ll know how much I HATE road running - and probably why I never want to do it - because if we hate it, we don't want to do it (you can't make yourself love it)..

Cue 20 excuses to add to that, and my coccyx injury!

I could sit here and beat myself, because I feel like I've got to start all over again.

It feels demotivating and frustrating - but I'm changing my focus to coming back stronger than before..

So come with me on my journey to find my running bug again - because I've got things I want to achieve next year (and I may even have persuaded James to take up trail running with me).. 😉

Let me know if you’d love to find your running bug again too..

Sharing this feels scary.

I feel like a broken record of anxiety, imposter syndrome, and overwhelm.

Often I write, delete, rewrite everything I want to share — and end up bottling it all.

Maybe I worry too much about what others think.
Maybe I overthink it all too much 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m not here to be an influencer, but I do want to influence your journey — because moving your body, feeling strong, and enjoying fitness is actually pretty amazing!

Here’s a brain dump of my head.. ⬇️

This is your sign to get outdoors!

I’m always that person who notices the small things — the colours shifting in the trees, the shape of the clouds, the way the sun rises in different seasons.

Those little details help me switch off and ground myself.

The world changes when you slow down enough to notice it — the soft colours, the quiet air, the small things that anchor you.

After the gym today, I went for my morning walk and found myself standing right next to a heron, amazed it had let me get so close… and then three otters popped up in the water.

Nature’s magic never gets old 🤍

Unfortunately it won’t let me post both videos - but here’s one of the otter 🦦

SAVE THE DATE(S) 🎉

More information coming soon..

This is for women who are looking to challenge themselves, get outdoors (calm your mind) and meet others.

Hopefully there’s a bit of something for everyone (and there’s more in the pipeline)!

Let me know below which one(s) take your fancy ⬇️

I have so much love for JB.. 🐶 🐾

He is part of everything I do, my life, my passion, my work, my travels, everything.

After a scary start to the year with his back, it’s great to have him back out properly again (hopefully some mountains next year)..

Sometimes I don't even know who's more obsessed with who.. ‘my handsome little boy’

We had a last minute adventure in the van to Barmouth and walked some of the Mawddach Trail (I can’t believe I’ve not done it before) - definitely one to add to your list!

Do you ever wonder why you can’t seem to ‘stick’ to anything?

Why it feels like no matter how hard you try, things just don’t last?

Did you know success is 80% mindset and only 20% action?

Often, it’s because what you’re doing doesn’t align with who you are or how you truly want to live.

And secondly, it’s the way you think and talk about yourself and your journey.

If your mindset isn’t in the right place, growth and success won’t follow - no matter how hard you ‘work.’

I’m a big believer that a lifestyle journey isn’t just about the actions you take — it’s about getting to know yourself.

Because if you don’t understand why things haven’t ‘stuck’ before, how can they ever change?

So ask yourself:

💭 What does my dream lifestyle actually look like?
💭 How do I want to eat, move, and nourish my body?

For me -I want to be climbing mountains when I’m in my 80s. I want to feel strong and move my body in all sorts of ways. I want to nourish my body not for weight loss, but to have more energy to live my busy life! 💪

And remember - it doesn’t mean perfection.

For many of us, success also means enjoying life and learning how to handle the moments when stress and chaos hit.

It’s easy to say, “I’ll start again Monday,” or “I’ll be stricter this week.”

But remember - you haven’t failed. It’s just a day, or a week.

We put so much pressure on ourselves, thinking a fitness journey has to be ‘perfect.’

That we need to cut out everything we enjoy to be successful.

But real growth comes from understanding how to do it all — in a way that fits you and your life.

It starts with trusting yourself and taking every opportunity to grow.

So ask yourself again:

✨ What does my dream lifestyle look like?
✨ Imagine yourself six months from now… how are you living, feeling, and showing up each day?

As peri menopause Awareness Month comes to an end, I’ve been reflecting on what I wish I’d known, and how different things might have felt if I had the knowledge I have now!

1. Trust your body - If something feels off, it probably is. Keep track of symptoms (use the Balance app), ask questions, and don’t dismiss your own experience - you know your body best.

2. It’s okay to feel confused - Peri menopause can show up in unexpected ways - fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, changes in sleep or weight. Not understanding it is normal. Give yourself grace and seek support if you need it.

3. HRT isn’t the only option - Hormone therapy can help some people, but it’s not the only choice. I personally found it didn’t work for me. Lifestyle tweaks, mindfulness and talking to a professional can also support your symptoms. Explore what fits your body and your life.

4. Give your body what it needs - Sleep more, move, eat nourishing foods, manage stress. You don’t need to do everything at once - notice what makes you feel better and build on that.

5. Don’t be so hard on yourself - Peri menopause can affect mood, energy, and confidence. Rest when you need it, celebrate small wins, and remember: your body is adapting - you’re not failing.

I’m always here to listen 🤍

October, you were perfect.

You brought me calm. Love. Clarity. And the kind of rest I didn’t know I needed.

The start of autumn is always bittersweet - I love the colours, the changes, and the little things you notice when you slow down.

The stars shining bright. The leaves falling like rain. The crunch underfoot (as you secretly pray there’s not a hidden dollop of dog p**p in there 🙈).

But I won’t lie — I hate the long dark days (the cold… and the spiders).

It’s also the start of a long, painful Raynaud’s season (IYKYK).

Still, being outdoors is always my saviour - especially when we get those bright, crisp skies.

1. My favourite colours
2. The best life with you ❤️
3. My favourite season
4. Lots of exciting projects and meetings and coffee shop working
5. A little reminder 💕
6. I love my job
7. It’s officially bobble hat season 😍
8. Exploring with my boys
9. My life ethos
10. Spent all my spare time cuddling my boy (after feeling guilty for leaving him for 2 weeks)
11. I found a new hobby
12. He makes my heart melt every single day!
13. My favourite time of day
14. Studying 🤓

If I could bottle the feeling of being in the mountains, I absolutely would!

Yesterday I was out with a group on Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) with - and as always,
I was reminded why I love this work so much.

Seeing people's reactions when they get outdoors, often for the first time, is one of my favourite parts.

Watching their eyes light up and hearing "wow, this really exists!" never gets old.

But it's never just a hike. There's a rhythm to being out there - reading the weather, checking in with the group, adjusting plans as the day unfolds.

Every decision matters, not just for reaching the summit, but for keeping everyone safe and making sure the day stays enjoyable.

Yesterday, the conditions weren't right to push for the top - and that's okay. Seeing how much everyone enjoyed just being out there was amazing.

Being in the mountains keeps me grounded. It's humbling, unpredictable and full of perspective.

My little bit of calm is always restored for a few days after my outdoors high.

We’re told over and over what our fitness journey should look like… early mornings, perfect meals, 5–6 workouts a week.

But here’s the thing - fitness doesn’t have to be about extreme goals or constant achievement.

It can be running a marathon, climbing a mountain, or training for a race — if that’s what you want.

Or it can simply be moving your body for energy, eating to nourish yourself, and enjoying a lifestyle that feels good to you.

There’s no right or wrong. You don’t have to be 'achieving a goal' 365 days a year.

The most important thing is that your fitness journey fits your life, not the other way around.

That’s what redefining fitness really looks like.

If I could put into words how I want you to feel on your journey, it’s ’to feel like ‘you’ again’

We can often lose ourself during perimenopause, from the symptoms both physically and mentally.

To the noise on social media.

I want to make it easy for you. No strict ‘rules’ to follow. No shame for not getting a workout in and wanting to swap it for some fresh air.

No you must do this, that or the other but support and ways to help you navigate not only this time of life, but stress, family and life.

We don’t need to overhaul our whole life for a fitness journey - it’s should support it!

Join me on your Let's Move journey, because I'd love to help you!

About Me

So I thought I’d share a bit about a me and how I got into fitness and a career as a personal trainer.

My fitness journey started around 18 years ago, when I started to put on weight whilst at university.

I have a varied background from spending endless hours on cardio equipment in the gym to running, swimming and crossfit. A big passion of my for the last 10 years has been triathlons from sprint through to half ironman distance.

I’ve spent the majority of my fitness journey thinking in order to stay slim you have to eat less food and do endless hours of cardio. When I did my half ironman last year I realised the effects of this and things needed to change.
