🎉 I have the most amazing news to share! 🎉

My practice, Nourished Thriving has just been awarded a prestigious Business Award for work in health coaching and BWRT therapy!

The judges comments were...

Nourished Thriving has been recognised for its outstanding support in women's health & lifestyle, helping clients tackle anxiety, stress, and weight issues. Anna's unique approach combines coaching and nutrition, making her nomination spot-on for empowering women to reclaim their health and confidence.

But you know what? This award isn't really mine – it belongs to every single woman who has been brave enough to say "I deserve better" and trusted me to help her get there.

To the mums who felt lost after years of putting everyone else first...
To the career women crushed by anxiety and overwhelm...
To the women navigating menopause who thought their best days were behind them...

This is for YOU. You are the proof that real, lasting change is possible when we address both mind AND body together.

If you've been following my journey, you know I understand the struggle personally. I was once that woman yearning to be free of a body that felt uncomfortable and an inner critic constantly knocking me down.

That's why I'm so passionate about this work – because I KNOW there's a better way.

Speaking of which... I'm now available for podcast interviews and speaking opportunities! If you know anyone looking for an expert on women's health, anxiety, BWRT or the mind-body connection, please tag them below!

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Here's to transforming more lives together! 💪❤️

Big News! 🎉

I’m excited to share that I’ve officially completed my Level 2 BWRT® certification!

Our brains are wired to run on autopilot - repeating patterns of fear, self-doubt, or unhealthy habits, often without us even realising it. BWRT® is a powerful tool that helps rewire those deep-seated beliefs and create real, lasting change.

Level 2 BWRT® is designed to help with:

✔️ Emotional eating, bingeing, and food obsession
✔️ Depression and low self-worth
✔️ Phobias and fears that feel impossible to shake
✔️ OCD and intrusive thoughts
✔️ Addictions - alcohol, gambling, and unhealthy habits

Think of it like a reset button for your brain - helping you break free from patterns that no longer serve you. Sessions are structured, fast-acting, and often bring profound results.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, know that change is possible. BWRT® might be the breakthrough you’ve been searching for.

Ready to make a real shift? Message me and let’s see if BWRT® is right for you.

🌿 How Anxiety Impacts Your Health - And How You Can Take Back Control 🌿

As a health coach and therapist, I deeply understand the powerful connection between mind and body.

The good news? You don’t have to live with anxiety holding you back.

Let me introduce you to BWRT® – BrainWorking Recursive Therapy – a groundbreaking method of psychotherapy developed by UK professional therapist Terence Watts, MCGI.

✅ It's completely confidential – no need to share personal secrets
✅ You are fully conscious and in control during sessions
✅ Usually delivers remarkable results in just a few sessions

Unlike traditional therapies that can take many months of therapy sessions to see an improvement, BWRT® works quickly and effectively to help you regain calm, focus, and control.

🎉 I’m deeply honoured to have been recognised as the Most Empowering Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach by the UK Enterprise Awards!

This integrated approach not only can help you find relief from stress and burnout but also empowers you to support your unique body to reclaim your vitality and confidence.

I’m continually inspired by the courage and resilience of the women I work with. This award is as much a recognition of their commitment to change as it is of my work.

Here’s to supporting one another on this journey toward health and happiness. 💛

𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝟐 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞?

I love receiving messages like this from my clients – and I get them often! This particular client is celebrating her latest HbA1C blood test results, a key marker used to determine if someone has diabetes or prediabetes.

I first heard that Type 2 diabetes was reversible during a radio interview with Tom Watson, Labour MP, in 2018. It was a revelation! Up until then, I believed, like many, that Type 2 diabetes was a progressive and irreversible condition. However, following extensive research - the WHO published a report in 2016 that acknowledged that Type 2 Diabetes is a reversible condition.

Now, as a Certified Health Coach and BWRT Therapist, I often help clients get their blood sugar levels under control to put their Type 2 diabetes into remission.

The risk of Type 2 diabetes increases as we approach and transition through menopause. Unmanaged blood sugar levels can lead to serious health issues such as sight loss, nerve damage, kidney failure, and heart disease.

Unfortunately, many women are unaware that they have diabetes until it’s already progressed. A key indicator is waist measurement – carrying extra weight around your midsection significantly raises your risk.

Thankfully, biomarker health testing (message me if you'd like details) can help you understand your risk and take charge of your body and your health. This proactive approach can also help reverse other conditions that threaten your health and happiness, such as heart disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In many cases, diet and lifestyle changes have a much bigger impact than medication.

I’m continually amazed by the body's ability to heal when we adopt the right strategies for nutrition, sleep, movement, gut health, and stress management.

The will to live life to the fullest really is an incredibly powerful force when you harness it.

Sleep disruptions are a common but often overlooked challenge for many women as they approach and transition through menopause.

Hormonal fluctuations or nutrient deficiencies in magnesium, vitamin D, and B vitamins, can wreak havoc on your sleep. These changes can cause night sweats, anxiety, and insomnia, leaving you exhausted.

But poor sleep impacts more than just your energy levels. It's strongly linked to weight gain and metabolic health conditions.

Lack of sleep increases ghrelin, the hunger hormone, and decreases leptin, the satiety hormone, leading to increased appetite and cravings for unhealthy foods.

If you're longing to wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day, a biomarker blood test could help. I provide biomarker blood testing along with a personalised consultation, so we can pinpoint the root causes of your sleep issues and create a tailored plan to help you sleep soundly again.
