Feeling incredibly grateful today 🧡

Thank you James O'Donnell and the Bishop’s Stortford Community Podcast for the work you do and for creating such a valuable space for people with meaningful stories and messages to share. I truly hope more people continue to support this project.

I’ve always felt a deep desire to use my voice to help others — especially women. On James’s podcast, I had the chance to briefly share my personal purpose as a brand. I talked about Vida Wellness Club and how we support women in recognising their worth, moving without guilt, and enjoying life to the fullest.

If you haven’t watched the episode yet, here’s the link: https://youtu.be/DjuoBzi6LuQ?si=ipuugRm8767H0U2I and if it resonated with you, I’d love it if you left a comment — it truly helps.

Let’s make the second half of life a CELEBRATION, not a countdown! ✨🥂

My friends, I am absolutely bursting with excitement to share this with you! I’ve created a space dedicated entirely to US. 💖

Radiant at Every Age isn't just an event; it’s the uplifting day you deserve to reconnect with yourself. I’ve gathered a brilliant group of women to chat about everything that truly matters to us: from mindset and self-love, styling and adventures, to grief and finding new love at this stage.

Prepare yourself for a proper journey of emotions: we’ll have a laugh with some fantastic female comedians, perhaps shed a healing tear, inspire one another, and yes—we are absolutely going to end the day dancing! 💃✨

My intention is simple: for you to leave with a full heart, new friends, and feeling more radiant than EVER!

🗓 Sunday, 22nd February 2026
📍 South Mill Arts, Bishop's Stortford

🎟 Tickets are on sale NOW, and I promise you do not want to miss the amazing energy we’re going to create together.

👉 Head to the link in my bio to secure your spot. I can't wait to celebrate with you!

You don’t realise how much you’re holding… until you finally let it go.

A few days ago I held my first ever live 9D Breathwork session as a fully qualified facilitator… and my heart is still full.

Our journey was Letting Go — a powerful blend of somatic breathwork, hypnotherapy and advanced NLP techniques designed to help you release what’s been sitting heavy and make room for renewal.

I feel genuinely humbled to hold a space where people can breathe, soften and let their bodies speak.
And a huge thank you to my beautiful Breath Angel, CarmenCi , for guiding with so much care.

This is just the beginning.
There will be more 9D Breathwork journeys in the new year — and I’ll be offering Breathwork as part of my wellness retreats too.

Have you ever tried somatic breathwork?
Have you experienced 9D?
Are you curious?
I’d love to hear. ✨

One day you realise your body isn’t as strong as it used to be — not because of age, but because you stopped moving.

We gave everything to everyone else. We forgot about us. And that’s not negotiable, my friend.

Movement is how we take our power back. It strengthens our bones, lifts our mood, clears our mind. And when we dance — truly dance — the body floods with dopamine, joy and freedom. We come back to life.

👉 You don’t wait for motivation. You move first.

That’s how strength, confidence and energy return — one act of love towards yourself at a time.

Tell me, what activity are you passionate about that lets you move freely? ✨💪

I've heard some people say love belongs to the young, but I believe love belongs to the brave.
To the women who’ve lived, learned and still believe there’s more to feel.

Rusty and I met later in life, when we had both made peace with who we were.
It’s a love that feels calm and wild at the same time.
We dance, we travel, we ride our motorbikes and we still make plans for what’s next.

Each day we remind ourselves how much we still want to explore, see the world together and live as many experiences as we can.

If you’re in your 50s, 60s or beyond and wondering if that could happen for you too, it absolutely can.
Love doesn’t fade with age. It deepens with it.

Have you ever experienced love later in life, or do you still believe it could find you when you least expect it? Share your thoughts in the comments. ❤️

This moment meant so much.

When I shared this story at our Breast Cancer Zumbathon last sunday, the room went quiet. Every person there could feel it — the love, the loss, the strength.

It’s about my friend Luisa, — a woman whose courage has inspired me deeply. Years ago, she lost her best friend to breast cancer, a loss that changed her forever and pushed her to take action. She started raising awareness and funds to help others — never imagining she would one day face the same diagnosis herself. Her journey through fear and pain showed what true resilience looks like. Today, she’s still here, still giving, still fighting for others.

If you can, please take a moment to donate to her fundraiser — it’s the first link in my bio (“Donate for Breast Cancer Now”).
Every little contribution truly makes a difference. Together, we can give hope and support to more women fighting this battle. 💖

I’m proud of myself for finding the strength to speak from the heart — and for using my voice to share messages that connect and hopefully, make a difference.

💫 When was the last time you danced just for yourself? No steps, no rules — just music, movement and freedom.

That’s what our next Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Ceremony is all about. We’ll begin with a heart-opening cacao ritual made with Venezuelan chocolate — one of the finest in the world — to help you relax, reconnect and set your intentions. Then we’ll let the rhythm guide us — no choreography, no judgement, just pure release. 🌱💃🏽

Join me, CarmenCi from and DJ Jamtom for an afternoon of music, movement and connection.

📅 Sun 26 Oct | ⏰ 3–5pm | 📍Bishop’s Stortford, CM23 4FZ

Come as you are — leave lighter, freer, and full of love. ❤️

Ageing isn’t the problem — it’s how we choose to look at it. 📌

Recently I came across a wonderful book that isn’t about diets or workouts… it’s about the emotional and mental side of ageing. And that, my friends, is truly powerful.

When you read stories you can relate to, you find tools that empower you and slowly shift your mindset. In the end, the only person who can decide how you live and how you face this stage of life is you.

Have you read a book lately that sparked a change in you with just one phrase? I’d love for you to share it in the comments. I’m sure it will inspire many women. 💕

Here’s the truth: for women 55+, movement isn’t optional — it’s the medicine.

In this moment of our lives, movement isn’t about chasing numbers or squeezing into old jeans — it’s about feeling strong, light and joyful from the inside out. Pilates is the perfect blend of body & mind — and a little bit of magic.

Here’s what you’ll notice when Pilates sneaks into your week:

✅ That “I’ve grown taller” feeling (spoiler: it’s your posture, not new shoes).

✅ Realising your balance is better in class than when you pour a glass of wine.

✅ Discovering that tiny moves burn more than the time you tried burpees (and without scaring the neighbours).

Swipe through to uncover the 10 truths your body’s been waiting to spill — the little reminders that movement, done with love, transforms how we show up in life today.

Which truth makes you smile most?

✨ I’m not chasing youth — I’m choosing vitality.
In my fifties, I don’t care about looking younger. I care about feeling strong, joyful and full of energy.

We’re living longer — but what’s the point if those extra years aren’t filled with movement, laughter and meaning?

That’s why I keep moving, dancing, walking, doing the things that light me up. Because every chapter deserves to be lived with passion.

💬 What are you doing now that your future self will be glad you did?

After finishing my last classes before the summer break, I gave myself a few days to grow, recharge, and learn. ✨ I flew to Amsterdam to begin the Speaking & Influencing Mastery journey — something I’ve wanted to explore for a long time so I can share my message with more clarity and confidence.

Being surrounded by people committed to learning was deeply energising. One highlight was a Qi Gong session with Lee Holden, whose calm teaching reminded me how simple daily practices can transform our energy. Another was hearing Dr Amanda Hanson .muse speak with such power about women and midlife — truly inspiring.

I don’t have all the answers, but I keep learning and filling my own cup so I can bring back fresh energy and tools for the amazing women in my community. 💫

For me, lifelong learning isn’t just about skills — it’s about freedom, vitality, and the joy of living fully at every age. 🧡
