✨ Honouring all the little fighters this World Prematurity Day

I feel incredibly privileged to walk alongside premature babies and their families, supporting slow-and-steady growth, tricky feeding journeys, and all the tender, hard-won progress in between.

Their courage, and the trust families place in me, is something I carry with deep gratitude. Celebrating every tiny milestone today! 💜✨

🌍 World Diabetes Day 2025 — “Diabetes and Well-being at Work”

Managing gestational diabetes (GDM) while working can be extra challenging - whether you spend your day in an office, clinic, classroom, or on your feet helping others.
Between meal breaks that slip away, packed schedules, and glucose checks that need planning, it takes preparation and self-kindness to stay on track.

Here are a few small things that can make a big difference:
🥗 Plan ahead — pack balanced meals and snacks with slow-release carbs, lean protein, and fibre to keep glucose steady.
💧 Stay hydrated — keep a water bottle nearby; even mild dehydration can affect blood sugar readings.
⏰ Set reminders — for regular meals, snacks, or glucose checks, especially on busy shifts.
🚶‍♀️ Move when you can — a few minutes of gentle walking or stretching after meals helps your body use glucose more effectively.
🫶 Seek support — talk with your manager or HR if small adjustments (like flexible breaks or fridge access) can help you manage better at work.

This , let’s remember that well-being at work matters; for mums-to-be, colleagues, and every team member balancing health and hustle. 💙
✨ Because when workplaces support well-being, everyone thrives.

Eat Smart, Play Hard, Think Sharp 🍏⚽🧠

Loved spending yesterday morning with the Year 9 students at Ecole du Centre - what an engaged, curious and thoughtful group!

We explored how the food we choose every day affects our energy, mood, focus, performance and long-term health - especially during the teenage years when the body and brain are growing at lightning speed 💡🌱

A big thank you to Susan and the Health & Sports team for the warm welcome, and to Yannick for the inspiring session on movement, performance training and recovery - our messages tied together beautifully.

Small habits can make a big difference 🤍
Nourish your body. Fuel your mind.
Eat smart, play hard, think sharp ✨

🥦 L’alimentation chez les personnes vivant avec une paralysie cérébrale : un vrai challenge !

Certaines personnes atteintes de paralysie cérébrale rencontrent des difficultés à manger, à avaler ou à digérer.
Les troubles musculaires peuvent rendre des gestes simples, comme manger ou aller aux toilettes, beaucoup plus complexes.

Une alimentation adaptée joue pourtant un rôle essentiel : elle aide à préserver la santé, à favoriser le bien-être et à compenser certaines carences liées au handicap 💚

Pour en parler, nous organisons une rencontre avec la nutritionniste Reena Soniassy – Paediatric Dietician,

Now this is the kind of change we love 💕

So thrilled to see this initiative 👏

Breastfeeding is such an important part of nurturing both mums and bubs, it deserves to be normalised, supported, and celebrated everywhere.

Bravo to MedActiv.mu for leading the way with this beautiful, welcoming space!

May more stores, malls, and workplaces follow suit, making it easier for mums to feed or pump with comfort and confidence🌸

So, mothers, next time you are at Tribeca Mall and need a quiet space to feed, just remember that there’s a space here for you and your little one to connect in peace.

🕊️ 15 October I Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day

Today, we pause.
To remember, and to offer a little kindness.

To every parent who has
🌷 lost a baby,
🌷 faced miscarriage or infertility,
🌷 or carries a love that never got to grow,

We see you, we honour your story, and we hold space for you.💜

Some grief lives quietly in the heart, unseen yet deeply felt.

May today remind us to be gentle, with ourselves and with others.
Because even in loss, love remains. 💫

September was all about workplace wellness 💼🥗
I had the privilege of running four nutrition workshops with the wonderful team at Constance Hospitality Management and guiding improvements to their staff café menus.
Workplace wellness and family nutrition go hand in hand. When employees are well-nourished and supported, the benefits extend far beyond the office, into homes and communities. 🌸

As September draws to a close, I want to take a moment to acknowledge Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.🎗️

Nutrition plays a vital role in supporting children and their families through treatment - helping to maintain growth, manage side effects, and preserve strength during some of the toughest times.

To all the children, parents, and caregivers walking this journey -your courage and resilience do not go unnoticed. 💛

Let’s continue to raise awareness and offer support, because no child should face cancer alone. 🌸

🌟 Malnutrition Week ANZ 🌟
This week, countries like Australia, New Zealand and the USA are raising awareness about malnutrition - and it’s not just something that affects adults. Children can be at risk too.

Even if they look well, some kids may not be getting the nutrients they need to grow, play, and thrive.

👀 Signs to watch for:
🍎 Eating less or skipping favourite foods
🛌 Sleeping more than usual
🤒 Getting sick more often or slower to recover
👕 Not growing out of clothes as expected
⚡ Less active, less playful, or low in energy

💛 The good news? With the right support, we can turn things around. If you’ve noticed any of these changes, I’m here to help families make sure their little ones get the nourishment they need to flourish.

📩 Get in touch if you’d like support with your child’s nutrition.
