I specialise in emotional eating—particularly for women managing conditions like Type 2 diabetes, PCOS, or hormonal imbalances.

If food feels like the enemy, I help you make peace with your plate. In a typical hypnotherapy session, clients connect a lifelong or current “problem behaviour” to a past event. RTT practitioner Willow Woolf will help you understand, feel, and release trapped emotions which prevent you from living the life you desire. You will explore parts of your mind which hold answers to some of your deepest

challenges and questions about yourself. After your first RTT hypnotherapy session, you will begin to notice gradual changes in your thoughts, beliefs and expectations, replacing your “old way of being.”

Words That Shape Your Reality

The subconscious mind doesn’t reason. It doesn’t question. It simply accepts.

So when you call the gym a “torture chamber” (even jokingly), your body listens.
Your motivation shrinks. Resistance grows.

The other day, a woman in the locker room said exactly that—and I smiled, replying: “I actually call it the pleasure dome.”

Because the subconscious doesn’t understand sarcasm. It absorbs whatever you repeat.

Call movement painful, and it will be.
Call it empowering, and something shifts.

Your words are seeds. Your subconscious is the soil.
Be intentional about what you plant.

Speak to your body like it’s listening.
Because it is.

✨ I wrote a full reflection on this moment—on language, belief, and subconscious programming.

The gym is a mirror.

Just because you’re moving, doesn’t mean you’re growing.

Last week I trained with a friend. New exercises, heavier lifts, a different energy.
And wow—did it reflect something deeper.
➡️ I realised how easy it is to coast.
➡️ To fall into routine.
➡️ To stop stretching ourselves—physically and emotionally.
And here’s the thing:
Your body doesn’t lie.
It holds the truth of whether you’re living fully or playing small.

In my work as a coach, I see the same patterns with food, with self-worth, with stress. We fall into autopilot. We stop tracking. We settle for ‘fine.’
But you were made for more than fine.
✨ If you’re ready to feel strong again—mentally, emotionally, and physically—

My 12-week programme is here to guide you.
We work with the body. The brain. The patterns.No quick fixes. Just real, lasting change.

Your next level isn’t waiting. It’s already inside you—just under the surface.

Happy Summer Solstice ☀️
The longest day of the year invites us to rise — to stretch, to sweat, to choose growth before life chooses it for us.
I found strength on an unfamiliar trail… and butterflies waiting at the edge.

Have you ever felt stuck in the loop of “I’ve blown it now, so what’s the point?”

That’s the voice of all-or-nothing thinking — and it’s exhausting.

Whether it’s food, rest, movement, or self-worth, this pattern keeps us swinging between extremes: strict rules or total abandon, perfect days or “failure.” It’s not your fault — it’s a protective response rooted in past experiences, shame, and control.

But there’s another way.

💛 A middle path.
💛 A softer rhythm.
💛 A way of living that allows mistakes, holds compassion, and honours your needs — not just your expectations.

In my 12-week program, we gently untangle these extremes and build real, sustainable change. We explore emotional triggers, create nourishing routines, and learn to listen to the body with love — not punishment.

✨ You don’t need to start over.
You just need to keep going.

Birthday Reflections: Lessons, Letting Go & Becoming

Another trip around the sun 🌞 This year has stretched me, softened me, and brought me home to myself in new ways.
I submitted my MSc dissertation as a one-woman research team, left a job that no longer aligned with my values, and finally let myself play, rest, dance, and love more deeply.

I’ve learned that: 💫 Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re invitations to meet myself with care 💫 Healing is nonlinear, and that’s okay 💫 I don’t need to prove my worth—I just need to remember it!

I spent my birthday near the coast, soaking in the salt air, giving myself some much-needed TLC. No pressure, no performance. Just me, honouring this tender, powerful transition into a new year of life.

📖 I share the full story, insights, and intentions on the blog. Head there for the complete reflection + journal prompts: 👉 [link in bio]
With love, Willow x

🩸✨ Why You Might Crave Vitamin C on Your Period

Ever notice yourself reaching for oranges, kiwi, or tangy teas when your period hits?

It’s not just random—your body is wise.

During menstruation, your body:
🍊 Loses iron
🍋 Needs more vitamin C to absorb that iron
🌿 Uses vitamin C to reduce inflammation and soothe cramps
🧠 And turns to it to support your mood and nervous system

Vitamin C isn’t just for immunity. It helps your blood vessels repair, your energy bounce back, and your whole system feel less overwhelmed.

Lately, I’ve been enjoying kiwis, strawberry and making some elixers sipping lemon balm + nettle + orange peel tea and it’s everything—gentle, grounding, and nourishing on every level.

🧡 Your body is always speaking.
Sometimes in cravings.
Sometimes in whispers.

Today, I’m listening.

✨ Cold Matcha > Hot Matcha? Here’s Why… 🌿
Matcha isn’t just a trend — it’s a whole-leaf plant ally for calm, clarity, and clean energy.

But did you know heat can damage its most powerful compounds? That’s why I’ve fallen in love with cold matcha — more antioxidants, more L-theanine, a smoother taste, and a steadier lift. 🍃

Unlike coffee, it doesn’t suppress hunger or trigger jitters. It supports your focus while keeping you nourished.

🌱 My go-to ritual? Cold vanilla matcha over lemon balm ice cubes — grounding, gently energising, and full of intention.

Your nervous system will thank you.

Elderflower tea for hayfever season ✨

This gentle hedgerow remedy has been used for centuries to ease seasonal allergies.
It’s naturally anti-inflammatory, supports the sinuses, and helps calm the histamine response. I like to steep it with nettle, lemon balm, and a touch of local honey — a simple, soothing ritual when the pollen count rises. 🌼

Nature always provides.
Have you tried elderflower tea?

Did you know? 🌸🌰
The horse chestnut tree — with its candle-like blooms and spiky conker-covered fruits — is not only one of the most beautiful sights in spring and autumn, it’s also one of my favourite trees to watch through the seasons.

Right now, she’s in full bloom… and it’s hard not to stop and stare.

But beyond her beauty, horse chestnut is actually one of the biggest pollinator trees in the UK, providing nectar-rich flowers for bees, especially in early spring when food is scarce. Nature’s timing is always perfect. 🐝

In herbal medicine, I use horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) mainly for supporting circulation, particularly for conditions like varicose veins, haemorrhoids, and chronic venous insufficiency. The active compound aescin helps tone the veins and reduce inflammation.

It’s a reminder that so much of what we need for healing is already growing around us — if we slow down and notice. 🌿

Have you spotted any horse chestnut trees recently? 💚

Plant-Based Iron — What You Need to Know

Feeling tired, foggy, or cold all the time? It might be your iron levels — especially if you follow a plant-based diet.

Here’s the truth:
🧠 Iron is essential for energy, brain health, and oxygen delivery to your cells. But plant-based iron (non-heme) is absorbed differently than iron from meat (heme).

🌿 This post walks you through: ✔️ The best plant-based iron sources
💡 How to maximise absorption with smart pairings
⚖️ Why co-factors like copper, vitamin A, and B12 are crucial
🧬 And a quick word on why liver is such a powerful iron source (hint: heme iron has its own transport system)

Yes, plant-based iron works — but it requires more intentional eating and nutrient synergy.

✨ Swipe through, save for later, and share with someone who’s navigating fatigue, heavy periods, or plant-based living.
