~ 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.

What if it’s not that you’re lazy - you’re exhausted from starting over.
You’ve done the January reset.
The post holiday detox.
The new planner.
The 30 day challenge.
Where you go hard, you’re disciplined.
You prove you can do it.
Then something throws you off.
And instead of adjusting, you stop.
The wheels fall off.
The thing is, midlife doesn’t tolerate extremes the way your 30’s did.
The all-or-nothing approach is not only draining you, it doesn’t work.
You don’t need more intensity.
You need sustainability.
And that’s a habit shift, not another ‘plan’.
If you’re ready for that kind of shift, message me or book a free call (link in my bio 👆🏼)

You don’t keep showing up because you’re motivated.
You keep showing up because it matters to you.
Because you’ve decided your health isn’t optional.
Because feeling good in your body is a value, not a mood.
Because you’re done negotiating with yourself.
That’s when it clicks.
It’s no longer “I should.”
It’s just what you do.
You move.
You eat in a way that supports you.
You go to bed instead of scrolling.
Not perfectly.
But automatically.
That’s autopilot.
And that’s where real change lives.

Perhaps it’s not a hormone problem.
It’s a consistency problem.
You’ve tried the supplements.
You’ve tried cutting sugar.
You’ve tried walking more.
You’ve read the books.
You know what helps.
But you only do it when you feel motivated.
Or when symptoms flare.
Or when you’re scared enough to take action.
Then life gets busy.
You fall off the wagon.
You stop.
And you tell yourself you’ll restart Monday.
Your issue isn’t information.
It’s that your healthy behaviours aren’t automatic.
You don’t need more advice.
You need someone who helps you make it stick.

You don’t need another “this time I’ll be consistent” speech to yourself.
You don’t need another 4 week health kick that fizzles out by week three.
And you definitely don’t need another year saying, “I’ll deal with it after things calm down.”
If you’re honest, you already know what to do.
What’s been missing isn’t information.
It’s structure.�Consistency.�And someone actually holding you to it.
The Lifestyle Reset is a 12 month commitment to changing your habits so they become who you are, not something you’re constantly working at.
No start strong and fall off.�No back on Monday energy.
Just proper support.
Real accountability.
And habits that actually fit your life.
I’ve opened 9 spots, 8 left.
If you’re ready to do this properly, comment RESET or send me a message.

You don’t need a whole new life.
You need to notice the one you’re in.
Most women have built an unconscious habit of scanning for what’s wrong.
The problem.
The stress.
What’s missing.
And when life feels hard, it can feel almost wrong to notice something good.
Like… “How can I enjoy this when everything else feels crap?”
So you override the moment.
You scroll.
You rush.
You minimise it.
But what you rehearse, you reinforce.
If you rehearse stress, that becomes your baseline.
If you rehearse noticing what’s working, you shift your nervous system.
Joy isn’t random.
It’s a habit.
Start catching one small “that was actually nice” each day.
That’s how you shift the needle.

Peri menopause isn’t chaos.
It’s old habits ‘poking the bear’.
They’re fuel on the fire.
1) Leaving things unsaid
(to keep the peace):
You suppress your thoughts, and how you feel.
Suppressed emotion drives chronic stress.
Chronic stress elevates cortisol.
High cortisol disrupts progesterone, blood sugar and sleep.
You stay wired, inflamed and resentful.
And something I’ve discovered from working with midlife women over the years?
The correlation between suppressed anger and resentment and….
🔥HOT FLASHES🔥
2) Grazing boards and wine (cheese, cured meats):
Low fibre.
High histamine.
High fat.
Dairy (not great for some).
Easy overconsumption.
Blood sugar spikes.
Histamine load increases.
Sleep suffers.
Hot flushes worsen.
Bloating and inflammation rise.
3) Protein shakes to “up your protein”:
Liquid calories.
Minimal satiety.
Often full of sweeteners and gums that irritate the gut.
Not enough chewing.
Not enough micronutrients.
You think you’re “nailing protein” while your digestion suffers.
(I worked in a gym with 28 male trainers for 8 years, sharing the staff room with them - so many of them suffering from terrible gas and digestive issues from all the protein powders etc… you can imagine… 🤢🥴)
4) Coffee before breakfast
(or skipping breakfast):
Caffeine on an empty stomach spikes cortisol.
Blood sugar crashes by mid morning.
You chase it with more caffeine or sugar.
Energy becomes unstable all day.
Lack of energy intake may suppress hormone production.
5) Alcohol:
Increases estrogen load.
Disrupts liver detox pathways.
Destroys deep sleep.
Raises anxiety the next day.
Worsens belly fat storage.
Creates a blood sugar rollercoaster - craving unhealthy foods.
Menopause isn’t attacking you.
Your nervous system is overloaded.
Your blood sugar is unstable.
Your gut is irritated.
Your liver is overwhelmed.
Fix the foundations.
Eat real meals.
Stabilise blood sugar.
Lower stress properly.
Reduce histamine load.
Prioritise sleep.
Hormones respond to behaviour.
Change your habits and your symptoms change.

This is the ‘invisible’ stuff that’s unbelievably powerful in keeping you stuck in peri/menopause.
It creeps up on you as symptoms develop and sneakily become a part of your daily life - creating doubt, eroding confidence and making you feel like your body and mind are spiralling out of your control.
Maybe you’ve got the ‘lite’ version of this - but yes it resonates.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
To change it, to reclaim your brain and body - chances are you’ll need more than what you’ve been doing.
You need a combination of:
Uncovering what’s causing your symptoms.
A strategy.
And habit changes that support you mentally, physically, emotionally and hormonally.
This is a potent - and powerful - combination that creates real change.
No quick fixes.
That’s why The Lifestyle Reset is a 12 month commitment.
From both us.
Giving you the time to understand your body, make tweaks and changes, to integrate them into your daily life through all the seasons, the unexpected curve balls, through stressful times, celebrations, holidays and drama.
(Those things that tripped you up in the past and stopped you making more progress).

I absolutely love helping clients in creating habits that help them live a life they love.
Be the first to know and let us send you an email when My Own Kind posts news and promotions. Your email address will not be used for any other purpose, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
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:
Holistic Coaching
Individual one-on-one Personal Training
Small Group (up to 6)
Mums & Bubs (pre and post natal)
Boxing
Outdoor (Glenelg North & CBD)
Corporate workshops and seminars
Active Ageing programs for local councils and groups
With the covid-19 restrictions put in place from March-June I went completely online, so I am now offering a number of my services via Zoom as ongoing, as an additional option for both safety and convenience, including for corporate bookings if preferred.
For any questions please give me a call or an email and I’d be happy to discuss your needs and how I may be able to help.
