Sometimes you just have to be gentle with yourself to avoid the overwhelm which follows the guilt of physically and mentally not having the ability to do more.

Yesterday THIS helped me to ‘calm my chaos’ rather than pushing through like I normally would have tried.

I’m learning there is no point in pushing through, as all that will do is cause unnecessary stress and exhaustion.

These positions are gentle on the body so should be accessible even when you are in pain, and in fact may also help with pain management.

Though please be mindful during an acute flare up of lower back pain for instance. And those with hip/knee issues may struggle with the 90/90 and child’s pose positions.

Do what feels right for your body.

Also, becoming in tune with your cycle will really help you to manage the ebs and flows of the hormonal shifts. But if you’re struggling to ‘be’ in tune, I would highly recommend downloading a cycle tracking app so you can record what is going on.

Do you get ‘sticky hips’? Try these.

What do I mean by ‘sticky hips’?
�That tight, stuck, compressed feeling, like your hips just won’t move freely, especially after sitting, driving, or being stressed and tense.

Often it’s not just the hips, it’s everything through the front body.
�The hip flexors, quads, and the fascia around them (especially where they attach at the front of the pelvis) can get literally ‘gunked up’ and ‘stuck’ together, especially if you're spending lots of time sitting, stressed, or stuck in overthinking mode.

An overactive nervous system = chronic tension in these areas.
�And that tightness in the front body can be a huge contributor to back pain, because it stops your back body from being able to fully extend or switch on properly.

These movements are a way to gently release that tension, through fascia, muscle, and nervous system, without force.
�They’re simple, somatic, and nervous-system safe.
�Give your body permission to let go.

Benefits of releasing the front body fascia + muscles:
�• Freer hip mobility�• Less compression through the low back�• Better posture + spinal extension�• More connection with your body�• Reduced stored stress + tension

These videos are sped up, take your time with them.
�Aim for 1 minute per leg per movement, daily if you can.
�Move slow. Pause where it feels good. Breathe into it. Use your intuition.

And if you have a knee issues please consult your GP/practitioner beforehand, or have had a hip or knee replacement I would advise against.

Save this if you sit a lot, have low back pain, or feel stuck in your hips.

Are you an overthinker? Got a busy brain that never quite switches off?

You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not broken.

Whatever happens in the mind shows up in the body.

So if your thoughts are always racing, it’s no surprise if you also carry chronic tension, tight muscles or pain that just won’t shift.
As a chiropractor, I can help your nervous system feel safer.

Adjustments work like a gentle reset, calming things down, improving movement and helping your body cope better with what life’s throwing at you.

But here’s the truth...

I can’t change your busy mind.

I can’t take away the stress of your life.

I can support you, guide you, and advise on the things that do make a difference…breath, rest, sleep, hydration, boundaries, movement, nourishment.

But healing doesn’t just happen on the table.

It’s what you do between sessions that makes the real difference.

The more stress you’re under, or the less you’re able to support yourself, the more help your body might need from me. And that’s OK. We work with what’s real.

Does this sound like you?

✨ If your body’s holding the weight of your mind, I’d love to help.

Send me a message if this resonates.

If you’re going to do one thing today for yourself, let it be this…

Lay yourself back on a bolster.

Close your eyes.
Open your hips.
Open your heart.

Let your body sink.
Let your nervous system soften.
Let go of any tension you’ve been unconsciously holding all day.
Let go of any thoughts, past or future.

No forcing. No fixing. No expectations.
Just giving yourself permission to be.

Focus on deep, slow diaphragmatic breathing, belly expanding outwards on the breath in, and inwards on the breath out.

Not only will 5-10 mins of this daily help calm your nervous system.

It will also…

✨ Support digestion and immune function
✨ Regulate your stress hormones
✨ Soften tension in your hips, back and shoulders
✨ Mobilise through the joints in your upper back
✨ Improve your posture
✨ Help you feel more present in your body.

And here’s something else, when you open your chest, you’re not just improving your posture. You’re telling your body, ‘I’m safe. I can take up space.’

Posture and confidence are more connected than we realise.

So if you’re feeling tight, your mind’s feeling busy, or you’re just a bit off today. Try this. Your future self will thank you.

NB if you are currently experiencing an acute episode of pain, this one may not be for you today. Be gentle with yourself.

DM me for support.

Let’s talk about fascia.

It’s that clingfilm-like tissue that wraps around everything inside your body; muscles, bones, nerves, organs, and connects it all together. It holds you up, keeps things moving, and helps your body work as one whole system.

But when fascia gets dehydrated, inflamed, or stressed out, it can become sticky, tight and restricted. And that’s when we start to feel heavy, achey, or like nothing’s really shifting.

Things that mess with your fascia?

→ Poor sleep – this is when your body does its repair work. If you’re not getting enough deep rest, your fascia doesn’t get the chance to reset and rehydrate.

→ Stress and overwhelm – fascia is sensitive to your emotional state. Chronic stress keeps your body in fight-or-flight mode, which can cause the fascia to tense and brace.

→ Dehydration – fascia needs water to stay elastic and fluid. Without it, it can become dry and sticky, which limits movement and increases stiffness.

→ Not moving enough – when we stay in one position too long (hello desk life), the fascia adapts and can become stiff or even stuck in that shape.

→ Hormonal shifts – changes in oestrogen and cortisol (especially around your cycle, menopause or burnout) can affect the flexibility and hydration of fascia.

→ Old injuries or emotional trauma – fascia has memory. It can hold onto past physical or emotional stress, which can create chronic patterns of tension in the body.

But here’s the good bit, fascia loves gentle, consistent attention.

Things like walking, rolling your feet, soft stretching, deep breathing, regular hydration, and hands-on care can all help keep it moving and healthy.

It doesn’t need to be intense. In fact, the slower and softer you go, the more your body responds.

✨ If your body’s feeling stuck or you want to explore how fascial care could support your healing, I’d love to help.

You can book in through the link in my bio or just drop me a message if you’re not sure where to start.

Tight hamstrings? Calves? Lower back?

If you're feeling tension anywhere along the back of your body (aka the posterior chain), that includes your feet, calves, hamstrings, glutes, lower back, and even up to your neck, try this simple trick:

Roll out the soles of your feet. 👣

It might sound strange, but gently releasing tension in the fascia of your feet can have a powerful ripple effect all the way up the chain.

Why? Because fascia is all connected.

The posterior chain is like one continuous piece of fabric running up the back of your body, so when one part is tight or restricted, everything else above it has to compensate.

Rolling your feet helps hydrate the fascia, soften tension, and send a message to your nervous system that it's safe to let go.

✨ The key? Consistency.

Doing this daily, even for just 1–2 minutes per foot, can make a big difference.

Move slowly, breathe, and spend a little extra time on the tender spots (those crunchy-feeling bits are usually where your body’s asking for attention).

Over time, this can help:
* Loosen tight hamstrings
* Ease back and hip tension
* Improve posture
* And just make your whole body feel lighter and freer

🎥 Click save and try adding it into your morning or evening routine, it’s a small practice with big impact.

I’m a Chiropractor… so why do I care about your Window of Tolerance?

Because pain doesn’t just come from posture or injury.

It often comes from a nervous system that’s stuck in survival mode…too wound up, or too shut down.

When you’re constantly living outside your Window of Tolerance (hello stress, overwhelm, burnout…), your muscles tense, your breathing shallows, your body holds on, and that’s when pain loves to show up.

Neck pain. Headaches. Back tension. Sound familiar?

My work isn’t just about cracking joints, it’s about helping your nervous system feel safe again. And educating you on things you can do to help your nervous system feels safe.

And that’s when the real healing begins.

💡 This is why I talk about sleep, hydration, movement, breathwork, nature, and rest. Because YOU are part of your healing.

Chiropractic is the spark, but your daily choices are the fuel.

If you’re ready to work with someone who sees the whole picture (not just the symptom), I’ve got you.

Drop me a message if this resonated, I’d love to hear from you.

You won’t find me rushing you through a 5-minute adjustment.

I know that might be the norm in some places, but it’s not how I work.

Your body isn’t a machine that just needs a quick fix. It’s layered with emotion, stress, past experiences, and nervous system patterns that deserve more than a flying visit.

My sessions are slower, more intentional.

Your first appointment with me is up to an hour. We go deep into your story, your stress, sleep, lifestyle, emotional load, not just the area that hurts.

Why? Because pain doesn’t usually come from nowhere. It’s often your body’s way of coping. And healing doesn’t happen in survival mode.

Follow-up sessions are up to 30 mins. Still slow. Still calm. Still focused on helping your nervous system feel safe again.

I know I’m not the cheapest Chiropractor around, but that’s reflected in the time, care and space I give you.

This is about more than a “crack and go.”

It’s nervous system work. It’s healing with presence.

And it’s care that meets you where you are.

If you’re ready for that kind of support, my booking link is in bio, or DM me with questions.

Back at it after 5 weeks away in Thailand, with my batteries fully recharged.

Last year I didn’t have enough of myself to give to my business, as I took on an employed position at another clinic, to enable me to get a mortgage. I tried for a while to balance the two but found it increasingly difficult to really give it my all. It ticked over in the background, but ticking over was all I could manage.

Prior to going travelling back in 2022, I completely burnt out in business and in life…hence my decision to sell my business and travel.

I am starting to understand that these episodes which have happened periodically throughout my life are a symptom of ADHD, and now that I know what to look out for, I feel I can manage it better. Defo not a pro, but getting better.

Sooooo when I felt those symptoms creeping back in (in my case, severe overwhelm, anxiety, lethargy, apathy and depression) I did what I had to do and took a step back, which significantly improved my mental health.

But now I’m back, I have my mortgage, and I am ready to give my business and my studies significantly more of my energy.

So here I am, letting you know that I am back practicing and welcoming you in to my safe space.

But who am I and how can I help you?

I am , which encompasses both my passion for your health and my passion for travel.

There are two sides to my practice….

Not only am I, what I would call a Mind Body Chiropractor, focussing on that Mind-Body connection within my treatments to help facilitate your healing. I am also a Holistic Health & Wellness Coach, helping you to take autonomy over your own health and wellness, in order to help manage and alleviate things such as chronic pain, chronic stress and chronic health conditions.

I have a little space in Stockport where I offer my services, so if you feel like you need my help, please feel free to get in touch.

Much love 🫶
