In Just 2 Days… I Step on That Stage Again.

Seven months of relentless hard work.
Seven months of sacrifice, discipline, and unwavering dedication.
No shortcuts. No easy routes. Just pure grit.

I’ve given up my favourite foods, missed out on moments with family and friends—all while still being a:

👩‍👧‍👦 Mother
💍 Wife
🤝 Friend
🏢 Business Owner
🩺 Clinician

This. Has. Been. HARD.
There have been more lows than highs. Hurdles that seemed too high, days I wanted to quit, and moments where it felt like the finish line was too far away.
But here I am—I MADE IT.
And anyone who knows me knows: I never choose the easy path.

In 2 days, I walk onto that stage.

Yes, I’ll be presenting myself to a panel of judges…
But there’s only one audience that truly matters to me: MY CHILDREN.

They are my reason. My strength. My rock.

Through the tears, frustration, and exhaustion… they’ve seen it all. And they’ve stood by me, lifted me, and reminded me who I am.

So this time—it’s for YOU.
To show you that when life gets tough, when you feel like giving up…

YOU. DO. NOT. GIVE. UP.

I’m proud of this journey. But more than that, I’m proud to show my children what perseverance really looks like.

Let’s go.

Reflecting on Last Weekend’s Competition

It’s taken me some time to process everything. Things didn’t go as planned — I didn’t show up as my best, and stepping off stage, I felt disappointed. After all the hard work, it was tough to accept.

The days after were emotional. I smiled when people said I did great, but inside I felt deflated. Now, I’ve come out the other side stronger. I’ve accepted that it’s okay to feel it all — that doesn’t make me weak, it makes me human.

This experience gave me clarity. I now know what I need to do to show up as MY best. And through it all, I’ve been surrounded by the most amazing support — family, friends, colleagues, clients… thank you 💛

I’m truly blessed:
✨ To have my health and the ability to compete
✨ To be supported by a beautiful family
✨ To have friends who always show up
✨ To share the stage with inspiring women

The biggest win? Showing my children that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible.

Now it’s time to reset and refocus for the next show — with fine-tuning the plan, I’m coming back stronger.

If my journey has inspired you in any way, please hit that ❤️ — your support means everything.

Here’s to rising, falling, learning… and rising again. 💫

As I lie here in bed…

The night before the day ahead.
Smelling like the biscuit I’ve been deprived of for the last 6 months. 😂

I’m taking a moment to really take it all in.
The dedication.
The commitment.
The grind.
The tears.
The wins.
The falls.
The rises.
It’s been a rollercoaster ride — and then some.

But through it all, I’ve learned so much about myself.

I’ve learned that you can inspire others to dare to dream.
If I can do this… you can do anything. 💥

I’ve learned that hard times will come — but they will pass. And the good times, they follow. 🌤️

Most of all, I’ve learned how incredibly blessed I am to have the team I do.
My family.
My friends.
My clients who’ve become friends.
My colleagues.
Even strangers who’ve sent kind words and encouragement along the way.
And the professionals who helped me through the gritty moments — thank you. 🙏🏼

To all of you: I’m truly humbled. Your support has meant more than I can say.

Special thanks:

To my husband — for always having my back. 🤍

To .fit.coach — for lighting the fire and helping build the lifestyle I now live.

To — for believing in me from Day 1 and guiding me through the toughest 12 weeks when I needed it most.

And to my children — , & Rio — thank you for pushing me, inspiring me, and wrapping me in hugs when I needed them most. I love you more than words.

Tonight, I lie in bed dreaming of tomorrow — a dream I never thought possible. But here we are.

Show No. 1
Let’s do this. 💪🏼🔥

Wow 10 whole years ago since results day, I’m not sure where the time has gone but also seems like a lifetime ago.

I haven’t changed a bit 🤣🤪

Lip Envy 💯

This beautiful client had been thinking about having lip filler for a while now but didn’t dare to take the plunge and get them done.

She didn’t want:
❌ Them to look fake / duck lips
❌ Change the way she looked
❌ Bruising or swelling
❌ People to notice

She wanted:
✅ More fullness
✅ Defined shape
✅ More hydration
✅ Less lines

I think we can all agree these lips look beautiful and are still very natural. A very happy client = a very happy clinician.

Although we can’t promise no bruising or swelling we can do our best to ensure we limit this risk as much as possible. Aftercare instructions will be given and if followed correctly will also reduce this risk.

We also apply numbing cream before your treatment to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Book your free consultation today to start your lip filler journey.

Subtle. Soft. Naturally enhanced.
This is your sign that lip filler doesn’t have to mean overdone or obvious. Our client wanted just a touch of volume to smooth out asymmetry and enhance her natural shape — and the results speak for themselves!

Amount used: 0.7ml
Downtime: Minimal
Longevity: 9-15 months

Ready to level up your lips while keeping it natural? DM us or book a consultation today.

There will be a slight price increase in some treatments from 1st April 2025.

I haven’t put my prices up in the last 5 years but due to increase costs I have had to increase my prices this year.

Beat the April price rise and book your next appointment before the end of this month to secure 2024 prices.
