Not enough sleep.
S**t recovery.
Not enough nutrients.
Stress.

The picture is almost never going to be perfect. If you wait for the ‘perfect’ time to start or to do the next workout - it will never happen.

Pick yourself up and get it done, even if you feel like s**t. It will get easier the more you do and you will feel better for it.

Action drives motivation!

December and January have been tough for me.

I’d love to pretend that I am an unwavering benchmark for health and wellness, but sometimes life gets hard, for all of us.

I have been ‘burning the candle at both ends’ as they say, and this week I have felt burnt out, tired and overwhelmed.

As parents with jobs and responsibilities taking up the majority of our time and headspace, life can feel like it gets on top of us sometimes.

In these times, it’s important to recognise what you need: for me, usually it’s some rest, time to fill my cup spending some quality time with the ones I love, doing things we love, and then a steady rebuild.

My training is definitely something that helps re-fill my cup, clear my head and give me clarity so that I can continue to give more to those around me.

Remember that workouts or missed workouts behind us don’t matter, it’s the next one that counts the most.

If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed and stressed: go and do something, start small and get some runs on the board today - no matter how messy they are.

Tomorrow, add a few more. I guarantee you that things will start to steady themselves.

If you are in need of hearing this message, I hope this post finds you

Let’s do it!

For a long time, it has been standard practice to recommend ’gentle exercise’ to people with joint pain. Things like swimming or yoga and things that don’t hurt or put excess load or strain on affected areas.

But the gold standard treatment for arthritis is almost exactly the opposite.

The current, gold standard treatment for arthritis and joint pain?

Progressive load bearing resistance training, working up to moderate - heavy loads!

As with everything in healthcare, there are caveats to this and it’s important to get specific advice for your condition but gone are the days when people should be told to rest or that they should avoid certain kinds of exercise because of arthritis.

You may need to adapt your training loads, volume and even choice of exercise during a flare up of symptoms - but that’s exactly what everyone should do if they have pain or injury - it’s no different with arthritis.

Learning that you can often manage your pain wth resistance exercise, at the same time as building stronger muscles to support the joint, improving bone health and promoting longevity - may just change your life.

I’m not saying that swimming or yoga are unhelpful - they are great additions to anyone’s exercise routine HOWEVER if they are the only exercise you are doing for your joint pain, you may find they are not enough to make much change to your pain and joint stiffness, long term.

It’s not always comparing ourselves to others that holds us back - it’s comparison to our former selves!!

When I was in my competitive years of CrossFit, I could lift more, do gymnastics movements with ease and train for several hours a day.

I used to look back on these memories and feel disheartened because I’m not as strong or as fit as I was then. BUT I realised - we are not supposed to still be who we used to be!

Life changes, priorities and goals change - and that’s ok! We don’t need to compare ourselves to how we used to train, look and perform - it sets an impossible standard and reinforces a belief that we are not good enough.

👉 Accept where you are at
👉 Take positive steps each day toward your current goals and celebrate even the small wins
👉 look back and reminisce but let go of the old standard

Let me know in the comments if you can relate 👇❤️

Embrace the chaos!

Comment and let me know that I’m not the only one who does this 😂

Creating this video made me realise 2 things:

1. I need a better set up for cooking videos 😂
2. I won’t quit my day job to start a cooking show 🤦🏼‍♀️😅

Hopefully you find it entertaining and maybe a little useful as well?!

Moral of the story that I was trying to get across:

I was short on time and still wanted to eat something healthy. This took me 25mins all up and it was yum!

Don’t get bogged down worrying about the way you need to do things. It doesn’t have to be perfect!

You don’t have to spend hours doing a week of meal prep when your family is out enjoying their weekend.

Create small habits that work for you that move you toward your goals. Something is always better than nothing!

Ive been told more than once that people may not want to work with me because I look “too fit”.

And honestly - I get it

I don’t see myself that way. There are so many people far fitter, stronger and more athletic than me who inspire me every day. BUT I understand how intimidating it can feel to put yourself out there, especially if you’re in pain, rebuilding confidence or starting again.

Some people assume that because I train and move the way I do, I only want to work with athletes or really sporty people.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.

I train because I want to walk the walk. Not to intimidate anyone, but to show that I do the work too.

I have a family, work commitments, a business, and responsibilities pulling me in all directions- just like most people. And I still make my health and fitness a priority.

Not because it’s easy.
Because it’s important.

Every day people are my favourite clients. People who want to move better, feel stronger, reduce pain and build habits that support their real lives.

I want to help you do that.

I have always been someone who struggles to drink enough water.

When I lived in Brisbane in the humidity and trained in the heat (when I sweat, I sweat A LOT), I found it easier to drink as I often felt thirsty, but I still couldn’t drink the recommended amount of water each day.

Since living in Victoria, I have really struggled to get my water intake up. Especially when it’s cold, which is a lot of the time here in the Alpine area!

We know water is important but often people forget or don’t realise HOW important it is for things like digestive health, cardiovascular heath and joint and muscle performance.

When I discovered sparkling water it was a total game changer for me. I have found I can drink bottles of it with no problem at all! Then a friend introduced me to sparkling water with cranberry juice - it is now one of my favourite drinks and I often have it on social occasions too (I don’t drink much alcohol so it is a great alternative when I’m out or having ‘drinks’ at home!)

Cranberry juice is full of antioxidants which help to fight cell damage from free radicals. It also contains compounds that prevent bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract, potentially preventing urinary tract infections.

If you struggle to drink enough water, give these a go and let me know what you think 🙂 💦

Super excited about the programs I’ve been writing!

12-week and 24-week options - this length of time allows us to build consistent habits and sustain them long enough to see real, meaningful progress.

Fully customisable to stay aligned with individual needs, capacity and goals.

Option to add nutrition coaching to your program for a more holistic, long-term approach to performance, recovery and health.

No quick fixes or rigid rules.

January 1st 2026

We started the year off with a hike up Mt Bogong - the highest mountain in Victoria.

I have some big goals for 2026. Both personal and business.

One of my top priority goals is to plan an adventure or quality time doing something together with Ryan and our family each month.

We have realised how important it is to plan time to do the things you love together, regularly. And by doing so, it really does help everything else to feel easier and more worthwhile.

I would love to hear some of your top priority goals for this year. Let me know in comments and let’s challenge each other to stay accountable 🙌
