Food noise is feelings, thoughts or mental chatter about food. This could be cravings, grazing or even feelings of guilt around food. It’s often seen as a lack of willpower, however it has deeper roots than this.
•
Food noise is a symptom, + like any symptom it’s a message. It’s what we do with this message that’s important, if we are to create lasting change, or just continue to white knuckle with it. Like a lot of things we do as humans, food noise can sometimes be linked to some form of dysfunction in the nervous system, + numbing as a coping mechanism.
•
Creating lasting change in this area where someone isn’t consumed by food noise, has to begin with awareness of what’s happening, + creating space between that. From here we can make an informed choice, rather than one from autopilot or reactivity, this way we remain in the drivers seat, + not taken over by it.
•
Building capacity means taking the smallest, tolerable actions, it’s not an all-or-nothing approach, it’s being able to actually sit with the feelings + thoughts, not just react to them, which overtime gets easier + easier. This is the work, noticing > understanding > consciously choosing 💗

Many changes the body goes through, happen so subtly that we don’t tend to notice the many steps that got us to the point we are now, that can be said for being in an ideal or less ideal place.
•
Structural changes are no exception, little by little, we re-teach the body how to move as a system, as a complete unit, the way we’re designed to move, + balance + alignment is what follows.
•
This client has been working with me for a year, + I’m incredibly proud of the results we’ve achieved so far.
•
⬇️ She came to me with sciatic pain down the right side of her body, caused by compression of the nerves in the lower spine.
⬆️ Now no pain, comfort when travelling in the car or sitting for extended periods, + most importantly, a strong, fit, able body that sees her working a physical job, + enjoying physical activity on the weekends 🏔️💃🏼
•
This is the aim, + the result when you begin working from the foundation up 👌🏻

Posture is about so much more than how your body looks. While it certainly influences how we experience physical comfort or discomfort, it’s also deeply connected to how we feel + move through life.
•
The patterns your body holds feed back to your brain, shaping how you think, act, feel, + perceive the world around you.
•
Contrary to what many believe, only about 20% of the communication between your body + brain travels from the brain to the body — the remaining 80% travels from the body up. This means we can’t simply “think” our way into feeling different; we must instead signal safety + calm through the body itself.
•
Think of a time you felt nervous — you likely first noticed the butterflies in your stomach before recognising, “I’m nervous.” That’s your body leading the way.
•
Your posture plays a powerful role in this feedback loop. The way you hold your body today reflects the experiences, stresses, + stories you’ve lived so far. It also shapes how you continue to carry yourself through the world.
•
Bracing patterns — like a hunched upper back or forward-rounded shoulders — often communicate to the brain that things aren’t safe. When the body doesn’t feel safe, every part of life is influenced: how you think, what you feel, the choices you make, + even what you attract or allow into your world.
•
Shifting your structure, therefore, is not just about improving how you look — it’s about transforming how you live. When you create openness + alignment through the body, you create the space to step into the life you’re truly here to live.

✅ Are you living a CHECKLIST life? ✅
•
Do you ever feel like your days are a string of tasks to tick off? A life where the week is measured by how much you can achieve, + rest is only earned once the list is done? 🥵
•
This is a pattern I see often in the women I work with, + one I know intimately myself. Type A women often carry a belief that our worth is tied to how productive we are. That slowing down is indulgent. That rest is something you get after you’ve proved yourself through output. 🌀
•
But here’s the thing:
This isn’t about laziness. It’s not a lack of motivation.
It’s often a nervous system wired for urgency🏃‍♀️
•
If your identity is built around being efficient, capable, + productive, then slowing down can feel unsafe. Even nourishing rituals—like preparing beautiful food or taking a morning walk—become boxes to tick rather than spaces to land 🌀
•
There may be a quiet internal script whispering:
“You don’t deserve to enjoy this unless everything else is done.” 😴
•
But what if we flipped the script?🔄
What if nourishment, presence, + pleasure weren’t rewards—but foundations?
What if rest + joy didn’t have to be earned—but were your birthright? ✨
•
Your body will let you know when this pace becomes too much + the common signs of pushing past its cues can be pain, tension, digestive issues—even the holding of additional weight.
These are not failures—they’re messages. Invitations to tune in. To soften. To listen. 🫶🏻
•
With this, I invite you to notice:
Where might you be performing your wellness, rather than living it? Even the most beautiful rituals can be made into another “task”
Where could you pause the list, + land back in your body, just as you are + ask what it is that you’re really seeking in this moment, what is your body telling you? 💗
•
You don’t need to do more to be more.
You already are ♥️

Another trip around the sun always elicits some self-reflection, looking back on learnings + growth to continue to carry forward into the next year.
•
The first image was 7 years ago, second was 2 + the last yesterday. Looking back at these photos, I see more than just physical changes. I see different seasons of life, different mindsets, + different versions of myself. But above all, I remember the daily steps I took to create a different outcome, this is the work that very few others see. The daily commitment to myself.
•
Growth isn’t always linear, but every step has led me here. Stronger, more aligned, + more at home than ever before, because when we don’t feel 100% whether physically, mentally +/or emotionally, it’s all a calling, directing us somewhere different, somewhere more aligned.
•
A reminder that change isn’t just about appearance, it’s about how you feel, how you move, + how you show up for yourself. Here’s to continuing the journey.

Your posture impacts your ability to adapt to stress

When your body is aligned + balanced, it’s in a more resilient state, allowing your nervous system to better adapt to stress.

Stress isn’t about the event itself; it’s about how we respond. Two people can face the same challenge, but their individual reactions determine their stress levels. Now more than ever, we live in a heightened state of demand—so how well does your body handle it?

When your posture is balanced + efficient, your body can adapt to demands with more ease + return to baseline after the event has passed.

But when your body is imbalanced, it compensates. Imagine you’re walking in the park + suddenly need to run—would your body move efficiently enough to escape? The same goes for psychological stress (a busy schedule, juggling responsibilities, etc.). If your posture is compromised—rounded shoulders, forward head, excessive lower back curvature, tight hamstrings—it affects your body’s ability to cope + recover.

So, is your posture helping or hindering your ability to handle life’s demands?
