Forget sick leave — GPs in the UK may soon stop writing fit notes! Instead, they’ll be prescribing gym memberships and job coaches. Now I’m all for the gym…as someone who serviced the leisure sector my whole career and attends one 5 days a week I’m a massive fan BUT….is this really the answer?

Most employees off work with anxiety, burnout, or chronic pain aren’t lacking motivation — they’re absolutely depleted.
From stress.
From poor sleep.
From inadequate nutrition.
From working in environments that ignore the fundamentals of human health.

You don’t fix that with a gym pass alone.
You prevent it with a proactive approach to wellbeing — one that supports people before they reach breaking point.

I think what is missing from this new strategy is…
1. Lifestyle medicine — not just fitness, but food as fuel for mental health

2. Sleep support — because exhaustion isn’t laziness

3. Early intervention — personalised health & lifestyle coaching and holistic care that prevents decline

4 Cultures of care — workplaces that don’t just react to sickness, but actively protect health

The real crisis isn’t the number of sick notes.
It’s the number of people who feel like they’re only allowed to ask for help once they’re already unwell.

It’s time to shift from crisis response to genuine prevention.

Hope Health works with organisations to bring lifestyle-based, personalised wellbeing solutions directly to employees — helping them stay well, feel energised, and thrive in work and in life.

I love that quote by Thomas Edison. It makes so much sense to me! As a Health & Lifestyle Coach, this is exactly my approach to helping my clients

I see the whole person

When I was struggling with my own health — mentally, emotionally, physically — the only way I found my way back was by taking a HOLISTIC approach.

And now I can truly say I’m the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been and I want exactly that for the people I work with

A healthy life isn’t just about what you eat and how you train.

It’s…

- How you speak to yourself
- The habits you create
- How you manage stress & sleep
- The stuff you read on the internet/TV (hence why I stopped watching the news- too negative)
- The boundaries you set (learning to say “NO” and not people pleasing)
- The people you surround yourself with (no vampire friends who suck the life out of you!)

It’s also about learning how to care for yourself - this one can be a hard one when we care lots for others

✨ Food is medicine

✨ Rest is medicine

✨ Self-love is medicine

✨ Nature is medicine

✨ Friendship is medicine

✨ Stillness is medicine

✨ Laughter is medicine

We all know this stuff right?! But sometimes it’s hard to get started or stay on track…

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, you’re not broken, you’re just missing support.

And that’s what I’m here for.

To help you come back to yourself, to guide you and walk beside you until you can do it without my help. To be there until you can see and feel that you’re fricking amazing!!!!

You already know more than you think.

You just don’t have to do it all alone. DM me if you would like to find out how I can help. Have a great weekend

Why I Chose to Balance My Blood Sugar (and What Happened Next)”

I didn’t start balancing my blood sugar to lose weight.
I did it because I was done feeling like I was constantly chasing stability in my body and mind.

Before this, I was stuck in a cycle of:
😵‍💫 Low energy + overwhelm
🍫 Constant cravings
😰 Anxiety I couldn’t shake
🌑 Mood swings + hormonal chaos
🥴 Bloating that made me feel uncomfortable in my own skin
😴 Poor sleep + foggy mornings

I’d had enough.
So I started using the exact nutrition and lifestyle interventions I now teach my clients.

And after 9 months of consistency — not perfection — here’s what changed:

✨ My mind feels clear
✨ My mood is actually stable
✨ I sleep deeper than I have in years
✨ Cravings are rare (and no longer control me)
✨ I feel calm, not chaotic
✨ My cycle symptoms have softened
✨ I feel good in my body again
✨ And yes — I’ve lost 10kg along the way (but that was never the main goal)

This journey has been one of coming home to myself.
Of no longer outsourcing my health to diets, band-aid fixes, or one-size-fits-all advice.

💜That’s why I’m so passionate about teaching this.
Because I know what it’s like to feel out of control… and I know the power of getting back into balance.

If you’re struggling with your mood, energy, cravings, or hormones —
Blood sugar balance might be the piece you didn’t know you were missing. I didn’t until I found out my blood sugar, health and energy scores were off the chart! And I thought I was a healthy person!!!

If you would like to find out your health, energy and blood sugar score, go to the link in my bio and I can send it to you

My Non-Negotiables for True Health & Healing

These are the things that helped me heal from PTSD and completely change my life. They’ve been my foundation ever since (mostly—because I’m only human!).

1️⃣ Fuel my body with the right food – What I eat directly impacts my mood, energy, and resilience. I see food as my fuel, not just a quick fix.

2️⃣ Move to enjoy, not to chase the “perfect” body – Exercise is about feeling strong, energized, and alive, not punishing myself to fit a certain image.

3️⃣ Keep growing & learning about what I want and who I am – Healing isn’t just about recovering; it’s about evolving, understanding myself, and creating a life that aligns with me.

4️⃣ Self-care is not selfish – Rest, saying no, taking time for myself—it’s essential, not indulgent. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

5️⃣ Prioritise sleep – No amount of caffeine or motivation can replace good, quality sleep. It’s the foundation of my mental and physical well-being.

6️⃣ Surround myself with the right people – Energy is contagious. I choose to be around people who lift me up, not drain me.

These will never change. What are your non-negotiables? 💜

Have Hope 💜 From Rock Bottom to CEO of My Life

My life today might look like I have it all figured out, but it hasn’t always been this way. I’ve walked through deep darkness—moments of self-doubt, burnout, and feeling like I’d lost myself completely. I know what it’s like to believe the pain will never end. But I also know this: HOPE—Hold On, Pain Ends. 💜

Hope wasn’t something I passively waited for—it was something I chose. I made small, intentional decisions every day to climb out of rock bottom, even when it felt impossible. I had to become what I needed when no one else could help me. I read, researched, rebuilt my relationship with food and sleep, trained in DBT, and slowly began to heal myself. 💜

🌟 I went from believing my family would be better off without me, to waking up with gratitude and joy I never thought possible.
🌟 From punishing my body with restriction and self-loathing, to becoming the strongest, healthiest, most resilient version of myself—mentally, physically, and emotionally.
🌟 From feeling lost in my career to building a purpose-driven business that fills my soul and helps others feel seen, supported, and empowered. 💜

I became a health coach because I knew I couldn’t be the only one who felt that lost. I wanted to give others the tools, guidance, and hope I so desperately needed in my darkest days. I founded Hope Health to simplify wellbeing and help people become emotionally and mentally fit—not just to survive, but to thrive. 💜

Now, I help others believe in their ability to bounce back—bigger, stronger, and better than before. Because no matter where you are right now, your story isn’t over. You have the power to change it. 💜

💜 You can thrive.
💜 You can rise.
💜 You can become the CEO of your life.

When it feels dark, hold onto HOPE. Because pain ends—and when it does, there’s a brighter, bolder you waiting on the other side. 💜

💜
