How do you set yourself up for the day?

By waking up an hour earlier, you may find time to just be or do some gentle stretching, writing, reading, take a walk. It will change the way your day unravels.

Use short, focused sessions to tackle your tasks or to do lists. Don’t get overwhelmed by spending too long on something and becoming irritable. Batch task like brushing your teeth with cleaning the bathroom or cutting the grass with listening to voicemails.

Do you have any good tips for a productive day that makes life that little bit easier?

Look back over the day and see what worked and what didn’t and use your reflections to plan the following day.

Are you Anaemic or low in Iron?

Did you know that you may have lots of iron stores but it’s just not being transferred around the body and utilised?
Let’s break it down……

1.Iron as Cargo:
Iron is like cargo that needs to be transported. Transferrin acts as the delivery truck that carries iron through the bloodstream to where it’s needed, such as the bone marrow or muscles.

2. Bone Marrow as the Factory:
The bone marrow is like a factory that uses iron to produce red blood cells. In other words, it needs iron to create hemoglobin, which is the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells.

3. Ferritin as the Warehouse:
When there’s extra iron, the body stores it in a warehouse-like protein called ferritin. This is like keeping surplus cargo in a storage facility until it’s needed later.

4. Vitamin C’s Role:
Vitamin C is like a helper that makes the cargo easier to load and unload. It helps your body absorb iron more effectively from plant-based foods, making sure that the iron is more accessible for the delivery truck (transferrin) to transport.

5. Iron Recycling:
Just as a delivery truck might pick up empty cargo and bring it back, the body recycles iron from old red blood cells, making it available again for future use.

So, in summary, vitamin C helps with the absorption of iron, making it easier for the body to load that iron onto transferrin and transport it where it’s needed.

Each month I hold a Yin & Tonic workshop which consists of Yin Yoga, A cedar wood sauna and a huge cold plunge.

It’s for women only so every body feels at ease in their skin and able to truly let go within the space.

I am always happy to prepare gift vouchers or if you are a group of friends looking for this kind of event on a specific day then feel free to ask for a bespoke workshop.

I’m all about resting and relaxing to balance the chaos and overwhelm of the outside world.

Drop me a message today and find out how I can support you and your body.

Saturday November 22nd Yin + Tonic workshop 9.30am-12pm

Restorative Yin Yoga, unwind and relax the body, soothe the mind, settle the soul.
Yin yoga is also known as the medicine for modern day stress where the body learns to rest while releasing stress and trauma.

Sauna and cold plunge compliment yin yoga beautifully because all three practices work directly with the nervous system, circulation, and resilience but in slightly different ways:

How?

Yin Yoga, sauna, and cold plunge weave together like a dance of opposites. The heat softens and opens, the cold sharpens and awakens, and Yin invites you into stillness where body and mind can truly rest. Together, they train the nervous system to move gracefully between effort and ease, stress and surrender, warmth and cool calm. This cycle nourishes resilience, deepens restoration, and leaves you feeling both grounded and renewed.

Added bonus of a hot chai latte for afterwards.

Our studio is set in beautiful green countryside just 10 mins from the city with free parking or the Dartmoor bus stops right outside Nest and Nurture.

If you’re still not sure but curious-drop me a message and together we can explore how I can help.

Love and warmth

5 Daily Habits…….
It can be overwhelming with so many things to remember and do especially when it comes to taking care of ourselves.

Here are 5 simple things that will change your life and are easy to implement.

1. Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning. (Even better buy a flask with reminders to drink during the day).

2. Do 30 mins of exercise a day even if it’s a quick walk around the block.

3. Make healthy choices when choosing your food. Never go food shopping on an empty stomach!

4. Write down 3 things you’re grateful for each day.

5. Prioritise when and how much you sleep-7-9 hours and try and turn off all screens an hour before bed.

If it still feels too much start with one habit for a week and slowly add each one in week by week.

Save this post and share with a friend who may need this.

Your Body…..
Is your life’s work. It’s the most important physical object you will ever own and it cannot be replaced.

We spend years polishing what the world can see—faces, feeds, reputations that gleam under the right filter.
But beneath all that, your body keeps time. Quietly. Faithfully.
It breathes for you when you forget. Heals without applause.
It carries every memory, every shiver of intuition you’ve ever had.

We treat it like background music until it falters—
then suddenly it’s the only song that matters.

This body is the first home you ever knew.
The one you can’t trade, return, or escape.
It deserves reverence, not renovation.

Because when the noise fades—the titles, the trends, the mirrors—
all that’s left is the pulse.

Love your body, take care of it, prioritise it. Treat it as you would a dear loved one. It will respond and you will come to know the greatest relationship there ever was.

Namaste
