Today’s bank holiday Monday was all about making the most of having more time 😊

I used it for a longer strength training session at home. Being intentional and practicing exactly what I encourage others to do.

A gentle reminder that strength training in mid life and beyond is one of the best investments you can make in your health:

💪 Supports and maintains muscle mass
🦴 Helps protect and strengthen bone density
⚡ Boosts metabolism and everyday energy

It does not have to be fast or intense to be effective.

Consistency and quality always win. 🏋️

What are you doing this bank holiday Monday?

In my 30s, during a period of intense stress and grief, I went to my GP feeling exhausted.

My cycle had changed and was becoming more painful each month.
I had chest tightness, anxiety and felt tearful most days. 😔

I knew something wasn’t right.

But I wasn’t asked what was going on in my life.

I wasn’t asked about stress, grief, or how I had been coping.
Instead, I was offered the contraceptive pill or an antidepressant. 💊

I remember walking out of that appointment without a prescription.
Not because I’m against medication.

But because I felt there was something deeper going on in my body… and I wanted to understand it.

Sometimes the question isn’t just “what can I take?” but “what is my body trying to tell me?”

That moment changed everything for me.

It led me to explore a more root cause approach, looking at how stress, hormones and gut health are all connected. And it’s a big part of why I do what I do today.

So many women are told everything is “normal” when they don’t feel like themselves at all. They are often given a prescription… but often what they needed most was answers.

Have you ever felt like you were offered a quick solution… when you knew something deeper was going? 🤔

Ever had a printer that just *won’t* cooperate… until you turn it off and unplug it? 🤯🔌

That was me this weekend.

No TV. No scrolling. No podcasts.
Just fresh air, good food, family, and a proper switch off.

And coming back? Not instant. Not seamless.
More like a slow reboot… a little foggy, a little tender.

We don’t talk enough about this in-between.
The part where your body is still recalibrating.

But this *is* the work.

Rest isn’t just time away… it’s how you return.

So if you’re feeling a bit “not quite there” today, you’re not behind.
You’re rebooting 💛

How do you know when your body needs you to unplug? 🤔

P.s. I’m writing this as my own cat (back from the cattery!), is not just sleeping but snoring too! We need to be more “cat” me thinks! 😆🤣

29/04/2026

You know when a printer stops working… and no matter what you press, it just won’t cooperate? 🤯

And then someone says, “Have you tried turning it off and unplugging it for a while?”

Annoyingly simple. But it usually works.

I’ve been thinking about that a lot since a long weekend away in Scotland, how rarely we give ourselves that same reset.

This weekend was exactly that. A proper unplug.

No TV in the room
No scrolling
Hardly touched my iPad, no YouTube, no podcasts, no audiobooks

And honestly? I didn’t miss it at all.

Instead, it was time with family and friends, nourishing food, fresh air, new places… and even a quiet moment cuddled up with a cat. Simple, but powerful resets. A real switch off, even from the news, which felt like a reset in itself.

And yet, coming back hasn’t been a seamless “switch back on.” It’s felt more like my eyes adjusting to the light again. A little slower. A little tender. Partly the contrast, partly the emotional weight of visiting places tied to loved ones we’ve lost.

And if I’m honest, navigating perimenopause alongside all of this adds another layer. Hormones don’t always get the memo that you’re “back to routine,” which makes these slower, out of sync days even more real and even more important to respect.

We don’t talk about this part enough, the in between. The days where you don’t hit the ground running. Where things feel slightly off. Where your system is still recalibrating.

But here’s the thing, this is the work.

As a nutritional therapist specialising in gut, hormone and stress support, I spend a lot of time talking about regulation, supporting the nervous system, stabilising energy, creating resilience. And that doesn’t come from pushing through. It comes from honouring these slower transitions too.

Rest isn’t just the time away. It’s how you allow yourself to come back.

So if today feels a bit foggy, a bit slower, a bit “not quite there,” you’re not doing it wrong. You’re rebooting.

I’ll be easing back in, getting some sunshine where I can, and practising exactly what I share with my clients.

Because sometimes, like that stubborn printer, we don’t need fixing.
We just need to unplug for a bit.

How do you know when your body is asking you to switch off? And what actually helps you unplug? 🤔🔌

Really enjoyed visiting the Glasgow Royal In-Fernery over the weekend 🌱 🪴

Such a cute little herb garden in the grounds of the hospital, filled with lots of information about the medicinal power of plants. Which is very dear to my own heart ❤️ The power of food as medicine 💊

They also have some bee hives to support these beautiful little pollinators in the city 🐝

We also got to meet the very passionate doctor who works behind the scenes to make this happen 👩‍⚕️☺️

There was a time I felt pinned down by expectations, by noise, by all the voices telling me who I should be and how I should live.

But nature has a way of reminding us of what is true.

Watching a butterfly open its wings, there is no force, no doubt, no comparison. Just a quiet unfolding into what it was always meant to be. The beauty it displays and the freedom to fly whereever it’s little heart desires 🦋

Standing with a bird of prey on my arm, I felt that same energy. Strength. Beauty. Wisdom. Trust in its own instincts. 🦉

And it made me reflect on how often we override our own.

So many women I work with feel stuck, not because they lack anything, but because they have been pulled away from their own inner signals. Diets, trends, conflicting advice, constant noise. It becomes overwhelming and we start to doubt ourselves.

And its the same with tackling stress, hormone or gut related symptoms. It is not about forcing yourself into someone else’s blueprint, but coming back to your body and learning how to listen again..

What works for one person may not work for you. And that is not failure. That is individuality.

Your body is not something to fight against.
It is something to understand.

There is a version of you that feels lighter, calmer, more energised. Not because you followed every voice out there, but because you chose to trust your own.

Maybe right now is your moment to release what has been pinning you down.
To soften the noise.
To let your wings unfold.

Freedom is not something you chase.
It is something you allow ❤️

I still remember a cleaner once saying to me on the hospital ward,
“I always know when you’re coming… I can hear your fast footsteps. You’re always rushing around, slow down a bit!”

I laughed it off and said, “There’s always so much to do” 😊
And I carried on to the busy admissions unit with my pager bleeping at me.

As a Pharmacist, I was constantly going, going, going. Working in a high-pressure clinical environment, I was used to pushing through. I was proud of how much I could juggle.

Ticking off endless to do lists.
Thriving in a fast paced environment.
I felt fine. Or so I thought...

Until my dad passed away suddenly in my 30s....and all those spinning plates came crashing down.

The job I had always taken in my stride suddenly felt overwhelming. I hit a wall and couldn’t keep going in the same way.

But when I look back, the signs were always there. Losing my dad simply brought everything to the surface:

Anxiety.
Poor sleep.
A racing heart.
Changes in my cycle.
Feeling irritable and on edge.
Grinding my teeth (I wondered why my dentist was asking me if I was 'stressed'! 🤔)
Being told again and again by my massage therapist how tight my shoulders were 🙈

Even in the middle of grief, my body was asking me to slow down…but inside, I was still running.
I was tired, but wired.

Looking back, I can see more clearly that my body had been trying to get my attention for a long time.

Have you ever felt like your body was trying to tell you something… but you kept pushing through?

Had a fantastic day yesterday at the Stride Revive Corporate Wellbeing Experience in Stoke, hosted by Evelyn Howe MSc and Katie Beardmore.

It was a real pleasure connecting with so many inspiring people and gaining fresh perspectives on how we can enhance health and wellbeing in the workplace and beyond - Jodie Steele, Lindsey Turner, Rachael Spencer.

Great to also spend time with the wider Serious Wellbeing team - I’m excited for what lies ahead as we continue to grow and shape the future as a team - Dr. Jill McGarry - Sleep specialist, Sunny Turner, Beth Penfold, Sam Flynn, Julie Silver.

One of the highlights for me was hearing people’s personal journeys and what led them into the work they do. Those stories always bring so much meaning to the space.

A few insights that really stayed with me:
• Better sleep can reduce errors by up to 60% - and boy have I seen risks associated with poor sleep as a Pharmacist in the NHS; sleep deprivation post on-call nights is a recipe for disaster! 🙈

• For every £1 invested in employee wellbeing, organisations can see up to £4.70 in increased productivity. Wow! 🤩

• The power of Biophilia - finding ways to stay connected to nature, even within indoor environments. I’ll definitely be adding more plants and pics of nature to my workspace 🌿

Looking forward to continuing these conversations and putting some of these ideas into practice.
