I love jiu jitsu for many reasons — but mostly for what it teaches me when things don’t go my way.

I took a loss this weekend. And while no one trains to lose, there’s something powerful about being tested. Jiu jitsu has a way of exposing your weaknesses, humbling your ego, and reminding you that growth lives on the other side of discomfort.

When you’re under pressure, you learn to breathe.
When you’re stuck, you learn to be patient.
When you fall short, you learn to come back sharper.

That mindset carries directly into my work.

In injury rehab and performance training, progress isn’t linear. There are setbacks. Tough sessions. Moments where frustration creeps in. But just like on the mats, the answer isn’t panic — it’s composure, consistency, and small improvements over time.

A loss doesn’t set you back. It shows you where to focus.

Grateful for the lessons. Grateful for the pressure. Back to work.

This evening we kicked off our 6-week Peri/Post Menopause Beginner Strength Course 💪🏼

We covered everything squats — plus supportive accessory exercises — and broke down:
✔️ Rep ranges & sets
✔️ How to progress (and regress) safely
✔️ Why strength training is essential for muscle health, bone density, metabolism & long-term wellbeing

Building strength during peri and post menopause isn’t optional — it’s foundational.

Strong. Capable. Supported.
Stronger together ❤️✨

One second a rhino's playing with a baby deer. The next you’re seeing updates about war or famine. It can be overwhelming to experience this level of emotional range in one feed.

Social media can have so many benefits - connection, community, support. But sometimes it turns into doomscrolling. And if it does, it’s okay to take a step back. Breathe. Pause. Go outside and touch the grass.

And if you’re struggling, we’re here for you.

I’m grateful for the life I get to live.
I run my own business—a business I love, that challenges me, and gives me purpose. I get to support my family, show up for the people I care about, and train in a sport that keeps me grounded and connected to myself. These are privileges I don’t take lightly.

But even when life is good, there’s an emotional toll to carrying multiple roles at once. The pressure to do a good job for clients, to respond quickly, to show up perfectly at work, at home, and in training—it can weigh on you quietly, like an undercurrent you can’t turn off. Even when I’m excited about what I’m doing, there’s a part of me that worries about letting someone down, missing a message, or not meeting expectations.

I care deeply. I bend over backwards for people because that’s who I am. I want to help, to deliver, to make things happen. But I’m learning that being kind and showing up doesn’t mean saying yes to everything. Protecting my energy, holding my boundaries, and honoring my own capacity isn’t selfish—it’s part of being able to show up fully, with heart and clarity.

I’m learning that gratitude and self-respect can exist side by side. I can be proud of the life I’ve built, care deeply for the people I support, and still make space for myself—because that’s what keeps me whole, grounded, and able to give my best in every part of my life.

Sue is one of my Senior Strength legends — you might recognise her from a video I shared about the importance of practicing getting on and off the floor as we get older.

She and her husband have been coming to my classes for almost two years now, and both have made huge gains in their strength and overall physical ability.

Sue knew she was on the waiting list for a knee replacement, so she put in the work to build as much strength as possible beforehand. Six weeks ago, she finally had her surgery — and her recovery has been going brilliantly.

She was back in class just shy of three weeks post-op, pottering around on her crutch, doing squats to a high box and also upper-body exercises. Now, at six weeks post-op, she’s confidently stepping up onto a platform.

I genuinely believe her strong recovery is down to the effort she put in before surgery, combined with her sheer determination afterwards.

I honestly can’t put into words how proud I am of her ❤️

Not every session looks the same — because every body needs something different.

Sometimes it’s slow, grounding hands-on work.
Sometimes we bring in tools like IASTM, cupping or needling to help improve movement, tissue glide or induce better relaxation.

It’s not always about “more pain = better results.”
It’s about working with your nervous system and tolerance so your body feels safe enough to let go.

That’s where real, lasting change happens 💙

My Senior Army!

POV: Your massage therapist *just* started and you’re already saying “you can go harder”

Bestie… I haven’t even finished spreading the oil yet 😭

We start light on purpose — it helps your nervous system feel safe, warms up the tissue, and lets your body actually be receptive of the work. Going full force right away just makes muscles guard and tense up.

Also… “no pain, no gain” is old school.
These days it’s more like: no safety, no release.

When your nervous system chills, your muscles let go. That’s where the real magic happens ✨ 🎩

That being said, I love when clients tell me their pressure preferences - Picky but polite is perfect 👌🏼

I don’t usually post my own training to my business page…

Mostly because
1️⃣ I don’t film at BJJ
2️⃣ My gym sessions are the same “boring” lifts on repeat (which, annoyingly, is exactly how strength works 😅)

BUT — here’s a random little headstand clip for fun 😊

Low key though… BJJ has done wonders for my core strength and overall body control. Turns out rolling around on the floor has actual benefits 💪🏼😂🤪

More Than Just a Workout💪🏼☕
Our Senior Strength sessions on Mondays and Thursdays at 9:30am are about so much more than lifting weights.
Yes, we work on strength, balance and mobility — all the things that help us stay independent, confident and capable in everyday life.
Strength training is one of the best things we can do as we get older. It supports bone health, protects our joints, improves posture, and helps with everything from getting out of a chair to carrying shopping.
But there’s another part of our Senior Strength that’s just as powerful.
After class, many of our attendees stay on for a well-earned cup of coffee or tea and a biscuit (or two!) and enjoy a chat together. These moments of connection, laughter and conversation are incredibly important for our wellbeing.
Socialising helps to:
✨ Boost mood and reduce feelings of loneliness
✨ Keep our minds active and engaged
✨ Build friendships and a sense of belonging
✨ Give us something to look forward to each week
Exercise strengthens the body — and community strengthens the spirit. When we combine the two, the benefits go far beyond the gym floor.
If you’re looking to get stronger, feel better, and be part of a friendly, welcoming group, come and join us.
Senior Strength
🗓 Mondays & Thursdays
⏰ 9:30am
Stay for the workout… and maybe for the biscuits too.

🌟 Hey everyone!
I seem to have acrued a lot of followers this week so thought I would re-introduced myself for anyone new around here 👋🏼

I’m Shona — a Soft Tissue Therapist and Personal Trainer based in Brandon, Suffolk.
I split my time between two local spots:
💆🏻‍♀️ My custom-built cabin for all things massage, treatment and recovery
🏋🏼‍♀️ Amped Fitness, where I do 1 to 1 Injury Rehab/PT, Senior Strength classes and Peri/Post Menopause group sessions.

I’m Level 4 qualified in Soft Tissue Therapy, Level 3 in Personal Training, and a certified Pre & Postnatal Coach.

Since qualifying, I’ve invested countless hours in extra training to deepen my knowledge and better support my clients.
Here’s a snapshot of some of continued learning:
✨ Myofascial Cupping Therapy (L2)
✨ Understanding Health & Nutrition (L2)
✨ Strength & Conditioning for Rehabilitation (injury/post-surgery)
✨ Rehab Essentials
✨ Dry Needling
✨ 3rd Age Woman (Menopause) & MenoStrength
✨ Dermoneuromodulation
✨ Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation
✨ Kinesiology Taping
✨ Pregnancy Massage

On the personal side — I’m a mum of two amazing kids, and I absolutely love movement in all its forms, both for my mental and physical health. My hobbies change often, but lately I’ve been into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (blue belt!), Strongman training, mountain biking, pole fitness, running, yoga, kayaking, and boxing.
I’ve competed at national level in BJJ, and locally in Cross Country Mountain Biking and Strongman.

At the heart of everything I do is my passion to help people feel better, move better, and get back to the things they love. There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing that I’ve made a positive difference in someone’s life 💙

If you’d like to know more about what I do or think I might be able to help you, please don’t hesitate to drop me a message — I’d love to chat!
