My Own Kind

My Own Kind ~ I help midlife women change their daily habits to create a life they love, inside and out ~ You know body better than anyone else.

My mission is to help busy women prioritise their own health and wellbeing. With all the things you've put it through, what you've grown up coping with and the things that have appeared or developed over time. You know what's a 'good hurt' and a 'bad hurt' when it comes to exercising and stretching. I trust you when you say that something doesn't feel right, something hurts or you need to stop. I'll never tell you to 'push through the pain'. You're an adult, you know you body better than anyone, and you deserve to have control over it. My job is to assist, educate, motivate and inspire you - not to berate, ignore or hurt you. I CAN'T help you if you need a 'biggest loser'-type PT who will yell and scream and tell you to toughen up. There's enough of those out there, and besides that's just not me. I CAN help you if you need someone to listen, understand, find another way - to support and encourage you to find your healthiest, happiest version of you.

✨ It’s LIVE! ✨

My brand new website is officially up and running, and it’s filled with everything I offer to help women feel well, supported and empowered.

From personal wellbeing to workplace programs, it’s all in one place.

My approach is centred around creating healthy habits for a life you love.

If you’re stuck and need help:

⭐️ deciphering WHAT you need in order to thrive

⭐️ knowing WHAT order to do it in (strategy)

⭐️ connecting WHY you’re doing it

⭐️ creating YOUR OWN way of making them into daily habits

⭐️ believing in yourself, that you deserve it.

This is all about creating a life you love!

The best way to begin is to book a complimentary discovery call with me, let’s chat and discover how I can help you.

Choose you first. 💛

Every little choice adds up; what you eat, how you move, when you rest.

It’s all a reflection of how much you value you.

Which is saying what you believe you deserve.

It’s a never ending loop that either builds you up -
or keeps you stuck.

5 minutes.

That’s enough to start a new healthy habit.

Stretching.

Meditation.

Journaling.

Breathwork.

Rebounder. (Yes - bouncing!!)

Walk. Maybe do laps around the house (inside even).

Make the bed.

Tidy the kitchen.

Prep your breakfast, lunch, snacks.

Drink a glass of water with lemon.

Cuddles with your (partner, dog, kids…)

One thing you know will nourish your soul, nourish your body, start keeping that promise to yourself.

It’s time.

If you need help getting started - or at that part where you always stop - book a call with me, I’d love to help you.

Are you healthy habits like a sandcastle built below the high tide mark?

🤯

It looks great
You’re happy with it
You appreciate your hard work

You get distracted, get busy, then -

It gets washed away by the tide.

🤯🥺😤😫😭💩

There is a different way.
When your identity (what you believe about yourself) changes - your approach changes.
You see and feel things differently.

Change this, and you create healthy habits for life.

I now have three different ways I can help you; message me for more info or book a discovery call.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to start?

You don’t need a full life overhaul. Just keep one small promise to yourself today.

It could be:

☀️ Make your bed

☀️ Don’t hit snooze

☀️ Do a 5-minute “snow globe” reset (you’re the snow globe… shake it up!)

☀️ Tackle one little thing you’ve been avoiding

☀️ Do something your tonight-self will be proud of

Tiny shifts create momentum. Start with one; the rest will follow. 💖

Being physical: it’s being in, and using, your body.

The state of your body has a profound effect on the quality of your life – yet it often gets put at the bottom of the priority list.

The interesting thing is: every living thing on this earth that has a brain, can move.

More importantly - it has a brain so that it CAN move.

It used to be primarily so we could survive.

Now it’s important for our quality of life; our healthspan vs lifespan.

[You’re designed to move; you’re not a tree]

In my Life Lift™️ programme week 4 starts tomorrow - focusing on the physical; all about movement, stretching, exercise, lymph drills, breathwork and sleep. We’re layering these elements into new habits to create a healthy lifestyle, for life. 🥰

If you need help making healthy habits stick - message me to find out more about how I can help.

I could’ve grabbed toast… it’s quick, easy, tempting.
But I know my body better than that now.

❌ It wouldn’t get me through to dinner
❌ I’d be hungry again by 4.30pm
❌ Toast doesn’t give me the energy or nutrients I need

Instead — real food. Protein, colour, crunch, good fats 💪🥑🥚
My brain and body look at this salad and are already saying thank you.

Small choices like this are how we feel better - one meal at a time 💕

Even when ‘there’s nothing in the house’ there’s always something.

Because the foundations are there.

The food in our kitchen is based on years of choosing healthy options - in the pantry, in the fridge.
Yes we have treats but they are the 10% not the 90%.

The habits we’ve created over the years are our autopilot: the meals, recipes, snacks that have been on repeat and tweaked and evolved it’s easy.

The mindset is - what’s quick, will give me sustained energy and real fuel - and taste good?

Who we believe we are, what we think, and what we do all contribute to those daily habits.

If you know it’s time to change your habits - for a life you love - book a free 30min call with me, let’s get you started! (Link in my bio or message me)

A hidden habit-changing-hurdle:

The people around you, and the places you inhabit.

When you realise how your environment and relationships influence your habits… everything changes.

Good habits stick when you feel safe to be who you really are.

Not willpower - awareness.

This is Week 2 of The Life Lift™️.

If you’re keen to take a deeper approach to changing your habits for a better quality of life, one you love - join the waitlist for the next round of The Life Lift 6-Week Programme. (Simply message me)

We all want the quick fix — the pill, the jab, the lucky break.
But without new habits, the old patterns just creep back in.
Lasting change doesn’t come from what you get — it comes from what you do, every day.

I work with women like you every day to change their habits - to create a life they love.

Message me if you know it’s time to make a change.

Being kind can be a game-changer.

For a lot of us, self-discipline was the only tool we were taught.
Push harder. Be stricter. Get it together.

But I think we all know deeply inside, our inner child doesn’t need another lecture.

She needs care, consistency, and reassurance.

When you stop disciplining her and start nurturing her, everything shifts.

You stop forcing change and start allowing it.

You build trust with yourself instead of fear, anger, resentment.

When you get that full-body feeling that you just can’t make sense of, it might feel
Just not quite right
A bit off
Icky
Just wrong
Down
Sad, teary for no apparent reason
Or whatever it is for you

Ask, What would support me right now, not punish me?

That’s where real growth happens.

It’s not a quick-fix, more of a gentle, slow ‘building a relationship with your inner self’.

If you would like to learn more about this and some guidance please reach out.

Your Body’s Not Random

Ever notice how your body seems to have a mind of its own sometimes?

A tight jaw, a bloated belly, a weird rash, a cyst that pops up out of nowhere…
It’s easy to just want it gone, but what if it’s actually trying to tell you something?

When we look at these things a little deeper, beyond the physical, they can show us where we’re holding tension, ignoring emotions, or pushing through stuff we’d rather not deal with.

It’s not “woo woo.” It’s awareness.

Your body’s basically your built-in feedback system.

It says what your mind won’t.

And when you start paying attention, you don’t just fix a symptom, you start to understand yourself better.

So next time something shows up, try asking:
🤔What’s my body trying to say right now?
🤔What am I ignoring?
🤔What didn’t I deal with recently?
🤔What’s not sitting right?
🤔What didn’t I say or do, that I should have?
🤔What did I say or do, that I didn’t really want to?

It’s not about blame, it’s about noticing.

Because the more we notice, the less our body has to shout to get our attention.

Our Story

Welcome to my studio; my face-to-face and online community providing Holistic Personal Training and Coaching for women in a small boutique studio setting, tailored to each clients needs.

I opened my studio to create a fun, supportive, creative space for women to connect, share, enjoy moving and take on new challenges getting stronger and fitter. For some, it’s where they can feel good starting to heal and become well again. Be in their bodies, rather than always in their heads. Every day is different.

I believe in nurturing our emotions and mindset as much as mobilising and strengthening the body, therefore we all need to work and heal differently; and this is where I feel I provide a unique level of service and connection with my clients.

Some of the services I provide:
