Some big news… I got a PhD scholarship 🎓🥹
Over the next few years, I’ll be researching how resistance training can support women through menopause — particularly when it comes to pelvic floor symptoms and the very real barriers women face when trying to stay active during this stage of life.
Honestly, I’ve worked my t**s off for this.
I’ve juggled an MSc in Women’s Health, a full-time NHS role, and running my own business. Apparently, that’s an unusual route — given that in the online space, you can become a “women’s health expert” with a PT qualification and a couple of blog posts 🙃
But hey, welcome to the internet — where the Dunning-Kruger effect has never been so well-branded.
After 11 years as a pelvic health physio, I’ve seen first-hand how many menopausal women are struggling.
Not because they’re unmotivated — but because they’re managing careers, caring responsibilities, exhausting symptoms, and navigating fitness spaces that often don’t feel made for them.
Add in a daily dose of conflicting advice from self-proclaimed menopause gurus, and suddenly even something as basic as exercise feels overwhelming.
This year didn’t start the way I imagined. For a while, I felt completely lost. But sometimes the most difficult chapters make space for the most meaningful ones.
Thank you to everyone who’s cheered me on, listened to me waffle, or reminded me this work matters 💛
Here’s to the next chapter.
