Nicola Peaty, Epsom (2025)

Movement and nutrition are essential for good health and wellbeing. My aim is to provide the right advice, support and motivation for long-term benefits. If you eat right and move right, it's amazing how good you can feel. I start with a comprehensive consultation, agree a programme and work with you to achieve your goals. For pre and post natal women, my advanced qualifications ensure I know how to instruct you to prepare, recover and restore your body during these changing stages of your life. I do home visits with individuals or pairs, plus group fitness sessions. I like to mix it up and keep variety whether that's indoors or outdoors. Above all, we have fun while getting results and feeling great.

💓 Heart palpitations during perimenopause? You’re not imagining it.

I remember the first time I felt my racing heartbeat that seemed to come out of nowhere. It’s was so unsettling.

During perimenopause, the drop in oestrogen and progesterone — combined with a rise in cortisol (our stress hormone) — can create the perfect storm for heart palpitations. Your body isn’t failing you; it’s responding to hormonal imbalance and heightened stress signals.

For me, I noticed caffeine made it worse. Learning to reduce stimulants, manage stress, and support my hormones made a huge difference. For some women, HRT can also help bring things back into balance.

If you’re experiencing symptoms like this and wondering what’s really going on, and you want to know what you can do, then please reach out to me.

💬 I offer a Menopause Consultation — an hour just for you to talk through what’s happening in your body, get clarity, and walk away with practical advice and a plan that makes sense.

It’s become a really popular service as clients want someone to listen, personal advice and a plan of action. And the Menopause Consultation does just that.

👉 Book your 60 minute consultation today and start understanding what your body is really trying to tell you.

🌊 Five signs your nervous system is crying out for calm:
1️⃣ Your head feels fizzy or buzzing
2️⃣ A quiet place away from everyone sounds ideal
3️⃣ You’re shattered but your brain won’t switch off at night
4️⃣ You jump easily or find yourself snapping a lot
5️⃣ You love the sound of these waves right now

These are your body’s whispers, signals that you’ve been running on adrenaline for too long.
When we’re constantly in fight or flight, our system forgets how to rest.
It’s time to slow things down and remind your body it’s safe. 💛

✨ Simple ways to down-regulate your nervous system:
🎧 Pop on some headphones and listen to calming or happy music
🚶‍♀️ Move your body — walk, run, swim, or stretch in a way that feels good
🌬️ Take 5–10 deep, slow breaths (in through your nose, out through your mouth)
📝 Brain-dump your to-do list to clear space in your head
💆‍♀️ Book a massage to release tension and reset

Take a moment. If you don’t stop yourself, no one else will. Listen to your body. Listen to the waves 🌊

🚶‍♀️ Whatever path you choose, make sure it’s one where you can be authentically you.

In a world that constantly tells us how to look, act, and live — choosing your own path is an act of strength.

There’s something incredibly liberating about reaching a point in life where you feel truly comfortable in your own skin — in your body, your choices, and your direction. 💛

You don’t need to fit anyone else’s version of what life should look like. And you most definitely won’t have time for anything fake or BS in your life anymore!
Just keep walking your path — the one that feels right, real, and true to you.

Give me a 💛 if you’ve chosen your authentic path.

🎯 Form first — every time!

It’s so easy to grab a heavier dumbbell and think you’re getting stronger… but if your shoulder’s lifting or your whole body’s helping out, it’s not really your biceps doing the work anymore.

✅ Keep the elbows tucked by your sides
✅ Shoulders relaxed and down
✅ Move smoothly through the curl — up and down with control

The goal? Isolate the muscle and feel it working through the full range, not just swing the weight.

Sometimes, going lighter gives you better results because you’re actually targeting what you intended.

💪 Quality over ego every time.

👉 Try it next session and feel the difference.

📩 Not sure if your form’s right? That’s exactly what I help my clients with, building real strength safely and effectively. Message me if you’d like to learn how.

Convenience doesn’t have to mean unhealthy 💡

If time or effort is what’s standing between you and a nourishing meal — this is your reminder that healthy can also be simple.

Here are three of my go-to “nutrient boosters” that elevate almost any meal 👇
🥣 A microwave packet of red & white quinoa — adds plant protein, fibre and slow-release energy.
🥫 A can of mixed beans — packed with gut-loving fibre and a variety of nutrients.
🌻 A packet of mixed milled seeds — a quick sprinkle for omega-3s, protein and crunch.

You can add these to salads, soups, stir-fries or stews — they’re brilliant cupboard staples that make eating well realistic and sustainable.

💬 Have a look in your kitchen — do you use any of these? Or do you have a favourite convenience food that still feels healthy? Share below!
