"There's a parrot at the door!!"

Not what you'd expect to hear on Halloween, but my son was almost right... this fabulous cockatoo came for a visit last night with his DJ owner & four small costumed children! 😄🎃😍

Definitely the highlight of our Halloween evening...the music was my son's choice when told that the cockatoo likes techno 🤣🤣

We had a great chat on the doorstep while the bird danced on my arm - such an unexpected, and welcome, moment of warmth, laughter and connection.

When we open to connection and beauty; when we actively seek these moments, our nervous system attunes towards noticing and experiencing more of them.

Sometimes in the most unexpected of places!!

This is why, in trauma healing, we begin - not with the symptoms and 'what's wrong', you KNOW that experience all too well - but in noticing even micro moments of what is okay (sometimes it's simply 'neutral' or not pain), pleasurable, joyful, beautiful or fun.

These are GLIMMERS. The opposite of trauma triggers.
Moments when we notice what feels good...and we slowly expand from here. Because when feeling becomes safer, we can also begin to heal what was too painful or too much. We begin to get unstuck.

What glimmers have you found today? ♥️

I'm really looking forward to teaching my free peri-menopause masterclass tomorrow, on the last day of Menopause Awareness Month.

31 October @ 14.00cet

This class is a 1-hour practical look at how we can optimise our energy, our hormones and our mental and emotional clarity during this powerful time of transition.

We NEED this information BEFORE we get de-railed by symptoms and start to feel as though we're going crazy. This is the class I wish I'd been able to go to a decade ago, when my body and mind began to change just after (and perhaps precipitated by) my move from the UK to Denmark, and the loss of my maternal grandmother. I was grieving the loss of a person I loved dearly and who'd meant the world to me, but I was also grieving the loss of a community and a job I'd loved. This all disguised the fact that under all this, my hormones were fluctuating wildly from one day to the next and my emotions and behaviour became almost unrecognisable to me, almost from one day to the next.

- emotional volatility: furious, frustrated, outraged...feeling tears well at what felt like 'minor' upsets
- aching hips and shoulders
- insomnia
- 4am anxiety and feelings of doom
- feelings of despair
- forgetting the names of things

This was just the beginning of my list and of course, it REALLY didn't help that I had no idea how much of this was related to the beginning of peri-menopause, because I HAD NO IDEA what that was!!

Now, a decade later - I'm going to share with you what I've learned, researched and tested. How to advocate for your own health and mental & emotional wellbeing and particularly, how to regulate and mitigate stress during this time of your life and how to eat and move to stay healthy and happy now, but also far into the future.

It's absolutely crucial that we're informed of what our changing bodies and minds need so we don't have to play catch-up or deal with poor health because of what we don't know.

If you'd like to join the conversation and feel empowered and more in charge of how your life looks and feels through menopause, join me to more. All the deets below and in my bio. (There's a replay, but only if you've registered).

Sending love 😘

When perimenopause started for me, I had no idea what was happening.

Suddenly anxious, irritated, mood all over the place - even a frozen shoulder that no one connected to hormones.
I saw doctors, physios, specialists. Not one mentioned perimenopause.

After 25 years working with the body, I still didn't understand what was happening to me.
Now I know better.

This stage of life is our autumn - and just like the seasons, we're meant to change.

In Japan, they call menopause Second Spring, which captures something beautiful: this isn't decline, it's transformation.

But to feel that possibility, we need different tools.
We need to support our nervous system through these changes.
We need to understand that we're not broken - we're becoming.

Join me on 24th October at 14:00 CET for a FREE One-Hour Workshop where I'll share simple, practical tools to help you navigate this transition with RADICAL SELF CARE.

Because you deserve to feel empowered through every season of your life.

Perimenopause brings change. And the brain hates change!

I know from my own journey and from working with hundreds of women that this stage of life can bring a barrage of uncomfortable or distressing symptoms: hot flushes, brain fog, weight gain, aches, anxiety and disturbed sleep are the least of them, though they are the ones we at least know about!

The symptoms themselves, and trying to understand what on earth is happening to us can feel both exhausting and disorientating and it all chips away at both our confidence and capacity just when we're at the top of our game - as women, business owners, leaders, mums, partners and breadwinners.

We need and deserve the support, information and tools to move through this NATURAL, BIOLOGICAL time of transition and change with grace and our marbles still intact.

That’s why I’ve created a free one-hour workshop for women 35+ who want to feel more informed and more empowered, clearer, lighter and more energised, even through the ups and downs of perimenopause and menopause.

You’ll learn how small, realistic lifestyle shifts can:

• Clear brain fog and sharpen your focus
• Boost your energy without sugar or caffeine crashes
• Support immunity and reduce inflammation
• Help you feel more at ease in your changing body

This is your invitation to pause, breathe, and take time for you.

Join me on Friday 24 October at 14.00CET (a replay is available if you can’t join live but you need to register).

World Menopause Month

The theme of world menopause month this year is Lifestyle Medicine.

So how do we empower and support ourselves through this powerful time of change and transition?

The truth is that menopausal women have got a lot of sh*t to deal with - now more than ever before in our history. We have so many different roles that we fulfil at this stage in our lives. We are business owners, career women. We are leaders and carers; We're mums of small children, as well as looking after elderly parents. We're homeowners with a mortgage to consider. We're worrying about inflation and pensions at the same time as trying to support our children through challenges in school.

And all this is against a backdrop of a constant barrage of information all day everyday... and it's relentless.

Never before have we been able to know - minute by minute - the intricate details of wars playing out on different continents, of political upheaval; of genocide.😢 And it's so hard not to get lost down the rabbit hole - because we care. Genetically, we're wired to be empathetic. ♥️

And amidst all the turmoil our bodies appear to be betraying us - hot flashes, aching joints, sleepless nights, crippling anxiety that comes out of nowhere at 4:00 in the morning is the least of it! 😳

Then there's the very significant brain changes that nobody told us about. Our brains are literally being pruned during perimenopause, but so many of us think they're going crazy because we literally lose a word mid-sentence or lose track of thought in the middle of a meeting or presentation... and it affects our self confidence. It affects our work and it affects our ability to enjoy life.

After over 8 years of going through this transition - I'm now 55 years old and still have my period regularly - I can safely say that I am an expert in perimenopause. I'm also an expert on the nervous system and somatic approaches to physical and mental health.

This month I'm going to be posting regularly on how we can support ourselves through this time. Culminating with a webinar on 24 October. Follow me to get the updates.

Let's do this together 🔥♥️

5-15 minutes to learn the practices - and then rinse and repeat for a lifetime.

Sometimes just a couple of minutes is enough for your body to stop telling your mind it’s fighting for survival and to feel connected, calm and present.

Stop playing stress bingo.
Start feeling better.

Get your Somatic Stress Tool Kit - link in bio.

Because your body's keeping score, and it's time to reset the game.

It’s Sunday evening.
And you’re already dreading Monday.

The emails, the meetings, your boss who seems to think you don’t exist outside of the office, the school run… the endless juggling act starts again in approximately 10 hours.

And you’re already on edge.

Already worrying, planning and wondering how on earth you’re going to fit it all in.

You struggle to get to sleep and then wake at some point before your alarm drenched in sweat with a knot in your belly, tight chest and your mind already in top gear

It’s 5.35am and you know you’re going to struggle again today.

But what if Monday mornings didn't have to feel like going into battle?

The Somatic Stress Tool Kit gives you 21 days and a total of 24 practical tools to gently teach your nervous system how to switch off, how to feel safe and how to release the tension that send your mind into hyperdrive.

These are real techniques that work to create calm in the chaos. Because you can't control Monday, but you CAN control how your body responds to it. And that means a quieter mind, more space and more ease.

Take 5-15 minutes daily (or when you can) for just 3 weeks to shift from dread to ready. And recycling all the tools whenever you need them.

For life. Because regulation gives you freedom, space and hopefully a reasonably relaxing Sunday evening (NB - it’ll help your kids and your husband too)

Get your toolkit via the link in bio.
Make Sunday nights about rest, not resistance.

You're brilliant in meetings.
Sharp.
Strategic.
Unflappable.

But underneath the table, your leg won't stop bouncing. Your shoulders feel like concrete and you can already feel you’re going to get a cracker of a headache later..

By 3pm, you realise you’re clenching your jaw, your head feels as though it’s trapped in a vice and you still have to hold it together and continue to make ‘good decisions’ calmly and competently for at least another 2 hours.

Here’s the thing - your body is keeping score of every urgent deadline, every difficult conversation, every moment you've pushed through instead of paused.

But high performance doesn't HAVE to mean high stress. If you knew how to support your body to return to more calm and create more space, you’d be able to do the same amazing job without sacrificing your health in the process.

The Somatic Stress Tool Kit offers you something incredibly simple: 24 body-based practices that you can learn in 5-10 minutes and then use them in the car, between meetings or even in the loo so you can keep creating space for yourself in your life.

Reset your nervous system in the lift.
Release tension at your desk.
And stay sharp without staying wired.

Because the most powerful thing you can do is regulate your own nervous system. Because it’ll make you better at what you do, but without the symptoms.

Link is in my bio.
Your body (your team and your family) will thank you.

You can't quite put your finger on it.

You're ticking all the boxes - work, family and life admin. You’re even just about getting enough exercise and sleep.

But underneath it all, there's a constant hum of well, unease… you feel on edge and restless and something’s not quite right. You’re waking up in the mornings feeling anxious but you don’t really know why.

Wine helps in the evenings (but you wake up with a cracking headache after only 2 glasses).
The gym gives you a boost but it doesn’t last. And the wired feeling is just ‘there’ in the background.
The sense that you're running on empty while running everyone else's lives.

Your body's trying to tell you something.
The tension in your shoulders and lower back, the 4am wake-ups, the irritability that doesn't feel like you - they're not random.
They're signals.

The Somatic Stress Tool Kit gives you 21 days of gentle practices to decode those signals. To shift from surviving to actually living.
To feel like YOU again.

5-15 minutes daily to learn the tools that’ll last you a lifetime.
Real tools that work when everything feels just... off.

Because sometimes the bravest thing is admitting you need different tools.

Get the link in my bio or comment ‘toolkit’ on this post.
Let's get you back in tune.

21 days. That's all it takes to start feeling like yourself again.

Not the exhausted, wired, shoulders-by-your-ears version.
The real you - the person you know you can be when you’re not feeling so STRESSED and overwhelmed all the time.

You KNOW you could feel calm, spacious, present - even joyful.
But it’s as though your body’s forgotten how.

And it’s your body that holds the map for the way back.
The tight shoulders, painful knot in your belly, tightness in the chest, the breath you're holding right now?

They're not the problem - they're the pathway back to more ease and SPACE in your life.

The Somatic Stress Tool Kit gives you 24 gentle practices that work with your body's wisdom.

There’s no analysing and no fixing.
Just 5-10 minutes daily to learn and DO the practices that remind your nervous system what space, calm and safety actually feels like.

After 25 years of helping women to FEEL better, I know this: You already have everything you need.
You just need the tools to access it.

Click on the link in my bio and start to get some space for you back in your life.
Start today.

Sending love, Fiona x

Your tight shoulders, the knot in your stomach, the way you hold your breath - that's where stress lives. It’s not in your mind.

Somatic healing works directly with your body's wisdom. Not analysing why you're anxious. Not reliving painful memories. Just gentle movements and breathwork that teach your Nervous System it's safe to let go, calm and restore.

After 25 years of this work, I know one thing: your body already knows what to do. It simply needs the right gentle guidance to get unstuck.

Ready to learn more?

For more calm, more space, more ease and more joy.

Research is finally catching up with what some of us have known for years: perimenopause isn't just about hot flashes¸it affects both the body AND the brain.

Perimenopause is a natural time of change in a woman’s life. But it can throw our whole system out of balance as we go through this powerful transition.

But we’re NOT ILL!

When oestrogen fluctuates, our ability to stay calm, focused, and emotionally steady goes out of the window. Everything is changing, and the Nervous System experiences these hormone changes internally as a state of alarm.

A new 2024 study found that 38% of midlife women suddenly can't focus, can't organise things that they’ve been able to do their entire lives and can't regulate their emotions. Many women get misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, or even ADHD.

THE PROBLEM? The focus is all on the mind; but your mind doesn’t need fixing - your BODY and BRAIN need support and safety. Your Nervous System is dysregulated and you need TOOLS to help you through this time of transition and change.

That’s why I created The Somatic Stress Tool Kit - 21 days of body-based tools that actually work when you’re experiencing an internal state of alarm.

There’s no sitting still and trying to meditate. These are simple tools that regulate your Nervous System in 5-15 minutes and create more steadiness, more safety and more calm in your body and brain.

Menopause isn’t a disease that needs ‘curing’, and you’re not "losing it."

But your body and brain need ways to return to calm and ease – and we do that by working with the Nervous System.

Are you ready to feel more like yourself?

Head to the link in my bio for The Somatic Stress Tool Kit.

£27 for lifetime access to 21+ tools.

p.s. – Correct, timely treatment with bio-identical hormones can and often does also help to correct hormonal balance and support your brain and body, alongside these tools.
