✨Shout Out✨

I had the pleasure of meeting Anna from .face.and.body this morning.

Tallow has been something I’ve been interested in trying on my skin for a while now but haven’t found a local small business… until today!

Can’t wait to introduce the BotanicalGlow face balm and NativeGlow body balm into my routine, alongside our own Empowered Skincare products.

Thanks for your time today Anna!

✨Meet the Team: Meet Aimee✨

Meet Aimee, the founder of Restore & Balance Remedial Therapy.

Aimee created Restore & Balance with a simple intention: to heal the body and calm the mind. With over 20 years in the health industry, she blends clinical knowledge with a deeply nurturing approach — because no two bodies (or stress loads) are the same.

Her sessions are tailored to support pain, tension, postural strain, injury recovery, pregnancy discomfort, or simply helping your nervous system switch off. Effective, grounding, and never rushed, this is remedial therapy that feels as good as it works.

Aimee will be onsite every Wednesday from this week, bringing an empathetic layer of physical and emotional support to our community.

We’re so grateful to have you, Aimee 🤍

Be sure to experience her calming hands, the perfect midweek reset and an ideal add-on before our Wednesday night meditation 😉

✨ Meet the Team: Meet Josie ✨

Josie is the kinesiologist behind Josie Holt Kinesiology and a much loved part of the Empowered team, seeing clients Tuesdays and one Sunday a month.

After 20+ years in corporate with major brands, Josie had a powerful moment of clarity — she wanted more purpose in her work. Kinesiology supported her through that transition, and today she brings that same empathy and understanding to every session, having once been a client herself.

We’re so grateful to have her in the Empowered family 🤍

If her story resonates and you’re curious about how kinesiology can support you, reach out and start the conversation 👇🏻

✨Decision fatigue is real✨

When you’re already juggling work, family, mental load, emotions, life… food choices can feel like the last straw.

This is where a little food prep becomes an act of self care.

When you prep even one or two things ahead of time, you:
✨ remove the “what am I going to eat?” spiral
✨ save time on busy days
✨ reduce last minute stress
✨ make the healthy choice the easy choice

It doesn’t need to be full meal prep, colour coded containers, or hours in the kitchen.

It can look like:
🥗 washing & chopping veggies so they’re ready to grab
🍗 cooking a protein you can use across a few meals
🍚 making a simple carb base for the week
🥣 having a go to breakfast that requires zero thinking

Because when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or stretched thin, you will default to what’s easiest — not what you intend to do.

Less thinking. Less pressure. More consistency.
I like to prep breakfast and lunches where I can. Here I’ve got overnight oats with choc hazelnut protein yoghurt, strawberries & granola.

For lunch is a Greek chicken, eggs, salad & lemon & herb dressing.
And that’s a choice worth making.

Tell me, what’s on your plate this week?

What if I told you there’s a small, welcoming community that comes together each week for deep rest, genuine connection… and a few laughs along the way?

A meditation class for real, everyday people who are simply wanting to:
✨ manage stress without doing more
✨ slow down without guilt
✨ feel calmer & more focused
✨ meet other likeminded, lovely humans
✨ have a safe space to just be themselves

Together, we focus on grounding, the mind/body connection, nervous system support, relaxation and guided visualisation 🌿

No pressure to “do it perfectly”. Just space to arrive as you are.

There are memberships, monthly access and casual classes available — all at an affordable rate because I truly believe meditation shouldn’t feel exclusive or expensive, it should feel accessible and supportive ✨

If you’ve been craving a little more calm, a sense of community, and a moment that’s just for you, our space is here and ready for you 🫶

🕒 Class Times: Mon & Wed, 7pm
🧘‍♀️ Open to both Men & Women, 14yrs + 🧘🏻‍♂️

✨We escaped the rain, slowed things down, and spent the morning connecting, reflecting, and creating ✨

Today was about setting intentions for the year ahead, getting clear on how we want it to feel, and turning that into visual motivation we can come back to when life gets busy.

I’m so deeply grateful to be able to offer a safe, welcoming space for some pretty cool humans — and for those who trust me enough to bring their children along and share this light hearted, creative way to start the year together 💛

There was laughter, conversation, creativity, and so much calm in the room. A beautiful reminder that goal setting doesn’t have to be heavy or overwhelming — it can be supportive, grounding, and even a little fun!

Thank you to everyone who joined me today. These vision boards are powerful, and so are the people behind them ✨
