I help busy women go from feeling burnt-out to having energy all day long! Through the evidence-based pillars of Lifestyle Medicine: Movement, Healthy Food, Restorative Sleep, Stress Management and Connection- I will help you build a balanced lifestyle that improves your wellbeing and is realistic for you in your current circumstances. My work is grounded in science — with a background as a Dentist and a Diploma in Lifestyle Medicine — I will inspire and guide you to make lasting positive lifestyle change that will help you get the most out of your life.

🏄‍♀️I had a business meeting on a paddleboard!

As soon as the wonderful of Ceannas suggested a paddle meet up rather than *another* zoom call, I was IN!

And honestly? It’s the only way I want to do business now 🤣

Why not!? Good business deals are struck when people feel free, energised and creative - and I can think of no better place to embody those things than in the great outdoors.

👉 Here’s why it works:

-Movement wakes up your brain
-Nature takes the stress down a notch
-And when you’re balancing on water… you stay fully present 😉 (Don’t worry we stumbled plenty but nobody capsized in the making of these pictures!) 📸

This is exactly what I love creating through Enliven:

coaching + connection + business growth - taken outside.

💼 Could this be the future of your next offsite, wellness day or strategy session?

Let’s make it happen.

Not part of a team? I’ve got you too!

🌿Come and join in events at the Fresh Air Collective or have a nosey at our membership for outdoorsy businesswomen who want to do things differently!

*Doors to membership are open NOW to start on 1st October - only 6 spots left!*

See you outside! 🫡🌿

Because spreadsheets are always better after a dose of fresh air. 🥾🌿

👉You didn’t start your business to spend your days wrestling with tax returns, tangling with spreadsheets and rewriting stuffy “business plans” that make your eyes glaze over.

You started it for freedom.

For creativity.

For helping people.

For doing the work you love.

But when the money side feels murky, confusing and the “business” part kills your buzz…it’s hard to feel that freedom you desired when you started all this.

Finance & Freedom is your reset button.

A retreat-style masterclass where you’ll:

✨ Learn how to grow your profit with purpose - with Rebecca Brown of Simplify Performance
📊 Finally make sense of your numbers
🗺️ Create a business plan that excites you - with strategists + advisors from
💆 Manage stress so you can focus on what you love with
🥾 Clear your head on a scenic hike
🍽️ Share nourishing food prepared by private chef

All alongside a group of outdoorsy, creative businesswomen who get it and get you!

📅 Friday 3rd October
📍
🎟️ Limited spots available (never more than 12 ppl, quality > quantity)

If your business brain could use a big breath of fresh air - this is your sign. 🌿

👉 comment FREEDOM for more info or tap the link in my bio to save your spot.

At the Fresh Air Collective - we see wellness as strategy.

Let’s explore that together, see you outside! 🫡 🏔️

Less Hustle, More Hikes.

☀️ In the great Summer holiday juggle that may feel implausible.

It feels like it’s *all* about the hustle.

✔️ constant noise
✔️ extra to-do lists
✔️ pressure to ‘make memories’
✔️ whilst also feeding everyone
✔️ whilst also staying healthy
✔️ whilst also being a good friend/wife/sister/mother/auntie/dog mum….

You get it.

It doesn’t feel like there’s much time for rest. Or hikes.

But I’m a big believer in the notion that time is finite and energy is infinite.

And the number 1 way to replenish your energy?

Yep - it’s our old friend movement. 🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️ 🧗‍♀️

Bonus points for meeting movement outside 🌿 as you also get sunlight, connected to nature, fresh air and screen free loveliness.

So what if true ~rest~ wasn’t seen as a luxury?

It wasn’t something you had to earn before you took it, but it was actually a non negotiable strategy to live a healthy, happy, successful life?

🤯 PLOT TWIST.

I’m discussing the above *plus* the time I wept over a pinecone in my latest newsletter that comes out tomorrow if you fancy some light entertainment.

DM me PINECONE for the link if you aren’t already a subscriber and would like to be 🔗

In other news the Fresh Air Collective reconvenes after the holidays (because we are allowed to work with the seasons!)

*just 5 spots left* for the next netwalking event on 5th September

Plus tickets are LIVE for our next retreat style masterclass: Finance and Freedom.

An epic day of practical masterclasses to help the small biz owner take control of their finances, structure + strategy. To find out more about the FRESH AIR COLLECTIVE comment FRESH below and I’ll send you the deets.

See you outside party people 🫡

What community feels like… ✨

Since launching Enliven (that sounds dramatic…think of it more like wading out a bit and pushing a dingy off the shore 😂) I have had the privilege of meeting so many incredible women from all walks of life.

Hearing your stories, your words and sharing part of your journey with you is absolutely what keeps me creating and growing myself.

Everyone I have met inspires me - to be better, to give it my all, to collaborate and lift others up, to see the opportunities in difficult times and to believe that what I am doing actually matters.

Every time one of you sends me a wee DM or email ~or even a beautiful handwritten card in the post!! ~ 🐌 💌 (still appreciate that !)
I smile from ear to ear and tuck it into my mental “I am good at my job” folder for times when I maybe feel a little ‘less than’ 😆🥰

To know that my wellness retreats, lifestyle coaching and the community at Fresh Air Collective are all helping people make meaningful connections that go past the date of the event, makes my heart sing. 🎵🧡

I was told recently by that I am a ‘gatherer’ and I feel like it really hits the nail on the head.

I love to bring women together.

I love to watch them grow, laugh and be their full silly selves.

I love to share science-based lifestyle coaching in a fun, ‘real life’ way that helps positively transform lives bit by bit.

In short, I love what I do and I’m very thankful I get to do it!

If you feel like joining in after the Summer holidays for some good old ‘real life’ fun then comment:

That last one though? 🤔

Summer time is here ☀️ it’s a season for high energy, socialising, getting outside and…

Trying to balance work, kids at home, family holidays, doggy day care & all the other spinning plates 🤣

Here are some things I swear by to keep me mentally & physically up for the challenge 😆

👯‍♀️ Friend dates - Sharing is caring & a short vulnerable, honest conversation always clears up your head if you’re feeling overwhelmed.

🥾 Walking, moving, hiking - really any form of daily movement. Good for the brain, body and gut health!! Did you know walking twists your torso gently massaging your internal organs & helping with gut motility?

🥗 Speaking of gut health - remember that food is fuel. Prioritise those delicious whole foods, don’t let the busyness be an excuse to eat ‘fast’ processed foods. On the flip side, don’t hold onto it too tightly - a holiday burger & chips doesn’t mean you ‘fell off the wagon’.

🌲I know I’m a stuck record - but get outside! As often as possible, at all times of the day, even if it’s just a few minutes between meetings or a cuppa in the garden.

🎒 If you over commit, you’re not going to enjoy it. Practice saying no. Don’t spend your summer worrying about something you said yes to & nowyouneedtocancelbutyoudontwanttohurttheirfeelings…🤯 relax. Go slow. Take a breath.

Well that about wraps up my Summer plans 😂

As a family we are very last minute this year, not a lot booked in, but I appreciate the days with no plans when we can be spontaneous & listen to the kids mad-capped ideas.

Who knows where we’ll end up?! Where are you headed?

🌿Enliven + Fresh Air Collective events start back in September & I’ll be rearing to go!

I didn’t know what would happen…

I’m fresh off a wee adventure! 💫 🏔️

We took the long weekend to go and explore the Trossachs - we hiked in the rain, ate amazing food , celebrated a birthday, pottered in shops, languished in the amazing hot box spa , biked into the forest trails, swam in the river Lochy and canoed with the awesome guys ✨🌿

4 days jam packed with:
☔️ ☀️ Scottish weather
🏔️ Hills instead of Munros (see: Scottish Weather🤣)
🌲 Forests
💦 River swims
🌕 and late nights laughing at nonsense

Time well spent.

We had planned on bagging a Munro but the ⛈️ ⚡️ put us off 😅 so we settled for forest walks in thunderstorms and impromptu river dips. There’s always a plan B!

I think in life and in business you need to be able to see challenges as opportunities and find a way to pivot.

When I started out as a health coach and built my business I didn’t know exactly how it would look - I just knew I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives, I wanted to help women feel their best and I wanted to balance that with quality time spent on the things I adore 💚

My coaching was fulfilling but being a solopreneur was isolating.

I mean, who could I reach for when I had a tough work related problem?

Why was my dog staring at me when I asked her how to build a website?

And how do you truly balance working from home? Am I hanging out the washing, making dinner or following new leads on LinkedIn?

All of these questions plus a need to get away from my desk and outside to move more led me to create the Fresh Air Collective. 🌿

A club for outdoorsy, fun-loving, thoughtful businesswomen like me 👋

I never set out to ‘be a leader’ and this community was the farthest thing from my thoughts when I started my coaching business - but now it has become synonymous with what I do.

Freedom, adventure, connection, nature, community, friendship, fresh air and movement - these are all values I hold tightly.

It seems others feel the same way too!

🌱 If this resonates I’d love to hear from you!
