Everyday Balance

Everyday Balance Helping burnt-out professionals in their 40s and 50s feel clear, calm, and confident again—without adding pressure or more to-do lists. And wellbeing?

Coaching that meets you where you are and works in real life. Everyday Balance is about working with your body and brain—not against them. It’s about striking a sustainable rhythm across six key areas of deep health: stress, sleep, food, movement, productivity, and rest. But rather than chasing perfection, we focus on the four pillars that keep real-life change possible: Calm, Clear, Confident, and Consistent. This isn’t about rigid routines or all-or-nothing thinking.�It’s about doing enough, consistently enough, to feel good again—physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.�It’s about creating everyday habits that actually fit your life, so you can recharge your energy, rebuild your confidence, and get back to feeling like yourself. I created Everyday Balance because, honestly, I couldn’t find anything that met me where I was. Fitness felt like it was all bootcamps, six-packs, and ‘no excuses’ hustle. Nutrition advice was either punishing or perfectionist—cutting out whole food groups and joy. That was either deeply spiritual or deeply impractical—lovely in theory, but impossible to maintain in daily life. Everyday Balance fills the gap.�It’s the middle ground: no extremes, no guilt, no need for a weekend retreat or a 30-day challenge to "get back on track." Just practical, grounded, science-backed tools and strategies you can use today—to move easier, eat better, sleep deeper, stress less, and live well… without needing to overhaul your life. This is wellbeing for real people, with real lives. Creating balance everyday for more energy and less stress.

This time of year is brilliant… and absolutely brutal.

Most of the people I work with hit December already running on fumes.

Add in social pressure, family dynamics, late nights, sugar spikes, money stress and “just one more thing” energy — no wonder we unravel.

So I made something to help: The Xmas Calm Guide.

It’s a simple, practical way to stay grounded, regulate your nervous system and protect your sanity when the world goes full festive chaos.

If you want a calmer December without becoming a hermit, this might help.

If you’ve ever thought

“I know exactly what I should be doing… I just can’t seem to stick to it,”
�you’re not alone.

That stuck feeling is exactly why I created Everyday Balance.

Most people aren’t failing. They’re overwhelmed.
�Busy brains, tired bodies, and real-life responsibilities pull them in every direction.

Everyday Balance helps you untangle that.
�We focus on three things you’re already trying to manage every day:
�your energy, your stress, and your habits.

The problem: You’re exhausted, inconsistent, and frustrated.
�The solution: Learn how your body and brain actually work, so making healthier choices becomes easier – not harder.�
The balance: Calm + clarity + confidence + consistency woven into real life, not squeezed around it.

It’s not about trying harder.
�It’s about finally having an approach that fits you.

If you want to see where your biggest blockers are, take the Starting Point Quiz. It only takes a couple of minutes.

🧠 “The Real Reason You’re Stuck (And Tired All the Time)”
You wake up already tired.
Your mind starts running before your feet hit the floor — a to-do list that never seems to end.

Coffee becomes your morning lifeline, sugar your mid-afternoon rescue. By evening, you’re running on fumes — scrolling for distraction, snacking for comfort, and lying in bed wondering why you can’t switch off.

You know you should sleep more, eat better, and move regularly.
You’ve tried — but no matter how much you plan, track, or promise yourself, something keeps getting in the way.
It’s not laziness.
It’s not a lack of willpower.
It’s that you’re fighting a body and brain that are simply trying to cope.

⚠️ The Real Problem: Chronic Survival Mode

When life keeps you in constant “go” mode — juggling deadlines, clients, family, and the weight of your own expectations — your body quietly flips into survival physiology.
Cortisol rises. Your nervous system stays alert. Sleep gets shallow. Energy crashes feel endless.

You end up coping, not recovering.

That’s when the three most common “symptoms” appear:

🍫 1. Emotional Eating
You reach for food — not because you’re weak, but because your body is trying to soothe your emotional conversation.
Stress and fatigue lower dopamine and serotonin; sugar, carbs, and comfort foods temporarily restore them.
It’s not a lack of control — it’s a biological attempt to self-regulate.

But the relief is short-lived, and guilt adds another layer of stress.

🏃‍♀️ 2. Lack of Exercise

You want to move, but it feels like dragging yourself through wet cement.
Your physical conversation says, “I need movement,” but your emotional conversation says, “I have nothing left to give.”

And if the gym feels intimidating, uncomfortable, or tied to old failures, your social conversation adds, “What if I don’t fit in?”
So you stay stuck — not lazy, just protective.

😴 3. Poor Sleep

You finally get to bed, exhausted but wired.
Your mind won’t switch off because your nervous system is still on guard. You replay conversations, plan tomorrow, or scroll to distract yourself.
Sleep becomes inconsistent, and with it, your mood, focus, and motivation crash — which only reinforces the cycle.

🔄 The Coping Loop

Each of these habits — late-night snacking, skipping workouts, and restless sleep — is your body’s way of trying to cope in the moment.
But together, they create a feedback loop that keeps you trapped in exhaustion and frustration.
You wake up tired → crave comfort → feel guilty → push harder → burn out again.

You’re not broken. You’re burnt out.
You’re not lacking motivation. You’re running out of regulation.

💡 The Insight That Changes Everything

Real change doesn’t start with another diet, workout plan, or productivity hack.
It starts by understanding the three conversations happening inside you:

Your physical body is begging for recovery.

Your emotional self is craving safety.

Your social self is trying to stay connected, accepted, and in control.

When those needs pull in different directions, you’ll always feel stuck.
But when they align, change stops feeling like resistance — and starts feeling like relief.

🌿 Everyday Balance

Everyday Balance helps you reconnect these three conversations so that your habits finally make sense for the life you actually live.
You’ll learn how to calm your nervous system, restore your energy, and rebuild consistency in a way that supports your body, your emotions, and your relationships.

Because the problem isn’t that you’re doing it wrong.
It’s that you’ve been trying to do it alone, while your body and brain are at war with each other.

Balance isn’t about doing more.
It’s about learning to listen — and finally letting your whole self get on the same side.

“Everyday Balance helps busy, self-employed midlife individuals restore energy, clarity, and consistency by working with their biology and psychology — not against them — through stress-aware, neuroscience-backed, and highly personalised coaching that simplifies change and makes progress feel easier, not harder.”

This is not another plan that tells people what to eat, when to move, or how to “stay motivated.”�Its a nervous-system-first approach to wellbeing — one that understands that consistency, confidence, clarity, and calm are outputs of working with your mind and body - not against them.
Everyday Balance doesn’t add pressure; it removes resistance.�It doesn’t demand more effort; it restores balance so effort finally pays off.

1. Biology Before Willpower
Most programs focus on behaviour change through discipline, deprivation and restriction. �Everyday Balance starts by helping people regulate their nervous system, circadian rhythm, and stress response — creating the physiological conditions for change.
Because if your body’s in survival mode, no strategy will stick.

2. The “Starting Point” Quiz + Four Pathways

Everyday Balance is about meeting people where they are:

Calm – For those overwhelmed and dysregulated

Clear – For those lost in overthinking or confusion

Confident – For those doubting their ability to succeed

Consistent – For those struggling to maintain habits

Each mini-program is a tailored, low-barrier entry point that immediately feels personal, relevant, and achievable.

3. Science Meets Simplicity
� In this program you don’t get theory — you get strategies that fit your actual life.

It’s wellness without overwhelm — rooted in science, expressed in simplicity.

Empathy Over Extremes

Conversational, non-judgmental, and quietly confident.

We normalise imperfection, celebrate small wins, and use humour and empathy rather than guilt or hype.

Its ideal for self-employed, introspective midlife adults who are tired of “wellness noise” and want something real, human, and sustainable.

Its a conversation with someone who gets it, not a lecture from someone who doesn’t.

Everyday Balance helps stressed, self-employed adults rebuild consistency, confidence, clarity, and calm by working with their body’s biology and brain’s psychology — making wellbeing easier, more natural, and finally sustainable.

The Starting Point Quiz is the ideal place to discover YOUR next step... It will give you an idea about what is really holding you back and what to do about it...

I’ve been quiet here for a while.

Not because I stopped caring — but because I didn’t want to add to the noise.

Lately I’ve realised that most people don’t need more motivation… they just need calm, clarity, and a little permission to start again.

So this is me, starting again — quietly, honestly, and at my own pace.

If you’ve been trying to find your rhythm again too, you’re not alone.

🧭 Take the 2-minute Starting Point Quiz to see what kind of balance your body and brain need right now.

This is for you if: you’re tired of all-or-nothing health advice.

This isn’t for you if: you’re chasing perfection or hustle culture.

You know you are on the right track and getting the right message out when this comes through on an enquiry form...
"I am someone who exercises 2 times a week but does not seem to be making any gains in weight loss or changing my shape. i find gyms intimidating and never get the full benefit as I am self conscious when in them"
This is exactly the kind of person I work with - so if this sounds like you as well, I am freeing up 10 sessions a month to map out a plan for you and help you out
These sessions are totally free and you can either come up to the studio in Pinhoe or chat via Skype or FaceTime.
What to expect in these sessions?
Well, for any map to be effective, we need to know exactly where you are right now, where you want to go and which route you want to take to get there.
you could take the fastest, shortest or most scenic - its up to you but each one would be different
The same with your health, fitness and wellbeing - there is a fastest way, shortest way and a more scenic route too!
We will spend the hour identifying all the habits, stories and mistakes you could be making right now that are keeping you stuck, tired and stressed.
We then figure out exactly where you want to go and how your life will be better once you get there.
Then its on to the obstacles and things getting in your way and the aim is to give you simple strategies that you can use straight away.
At this point you will have more than enough to make a start and make a difference
Then iff you choose to, we can then explore different ways that we can work together with programs starting from only £30 per month
no pressure, no sales, no "one time only" offers - if you want to find out more, we talk about it. If not, we don't - simple!!
Very simply, send me a PM and we can find a time that works!

Prior to meeting Graham and enrolling on his weight loss course my husband and I were a pair of stressed, overweight, inactive couch potatoes ( both with Type 2 Diabetes )!
This young man has transformed our lives and the way we live and think about food.
Beforehand we would wake up still tired as we did not sleep well , miss breakfast rush off to work and look forward to the “snack van” coming to grab a sandwich or sausage roll !
Lunch would be maybe another sandwich or pasty on the go then when we got home we would devour bread & butter with jam or marmite BEFORE our takeaway or “ready meal”.
Evenings were spent snacking in front of the TV. We never went to bed before midnight, had interrupted sleep and so the cycle would start again.
We said we didn’t have time or were too stressed to do any exercise and the weight piled on and we felt out of control of our lives. We had both tried various “diets” and slimming clubs over the years but this made matters worse.
We would lose some weight but then felt deprived , give up and out all the weight back on ( plus more).
In the past 8 weeks our relationship with food has totally changed – we are not hungry as we can eat plenty of good food . As everyone we still have stress in our lives but we know how to deal with it.
We walk or swim regularly and it is so easy to fit that into the day now as we sleep well so are not exhausted all the time. Life is good!
Please try the weight loss course – wish we had met Graham years ago.

pretty much ALL of us know what we need to do to be healthier and happier yet still don't do it consistently enough to see real, lasting change...

My Story

Hey, I’m Gray - I’m what you would call a health, fitness and wellbeing problem solver.

I help people find effective solutions to whichever obstacle is getting in the way of them taking control of the way they move, think and feel so that they create more time, energy and confidence without needing to resort to quick fixes, extreme measures or unsustainable programs.

For some this could be overcoming physical problems with mobility, flexibility, balance or strength

For others it could be reducing stress, frustration and self sabotage so that they take back control of their mindset creating more confidence, trust and self belief
