Helping women break through the BS to lose fat, build & tone muscle, improve their fitness, health, mindset, energy & confidence for lasting results

We often focus on the scale 'benefit' when it comes to having a healthier lifestyle, but what about the non-scale benefits?
Things like:
✅Higher, more stable energy
✅Better focus
✅Better mood
✅Strength gains
✅Better digestion
✅Better mobility
✅Fewer aches & pains
✅Higher confidence
✅Better relationship with food
✅️Fewer perimenopause symptoms
So as you're shaking off the Christmas/twixtmas sluggishness & many people will have started to get back into better eating, more movement, etc... what's the biggest 'non-scale benefit' you've started to feel or hope to feel?

Successful weightloss / fatloss is about way more than simply eating less!
And despite what fad diet marketing tells you, it's also about far more than willpower, motivation or a magic pill
Achieving lasting change requires a multifaceted approach which is hard to achieve alone – especially when you’re busy, tired, and don’t have the bandwidth to figure out what you should & shouldn’t be doing to get results in midlife.

'New Year New Body' goals?
In that case know this:
The 'easy' way isn't to do some crazy white-knuckle ride 'shred', 'fast' or 'blitz', or (God forbid) buy some 'skinny jabs' off the internet
The REAL easy way is to learn how to set up your life & your habits so doing the 'right' things becomes your default rather than a battle
True sustainable change (especially in midlife when our hormones & life pressures make things more difficult) hasn't got a catchy brand name and doesn't happen overnight
It's both simple & complex at the same time
It's multi-faceted & requires readjustments
It's hard to do without support
And it's the best thing ever you'll do for your long-term health, mood, energy levels, and self-image

It's entirely possible to eat healthily & not be able to lose weight, even to gain!
Eating healthily just means choosing foods on their perceived lesser level of processing & higher level of vitamins, nutrients, etc.
Many things marketed as 'healthy' are far higher cals (& sometimes also less nutritious) than you realise...
It's not about cutting out calorific 'healthy' foods altogether, it's about understanding how to structure your nutrition to include healthy foods & foods you enjoy, but still be in calorie balance or calorie deficit...
For example:
• Avocados are healthy but contain tons of cals
• Snacking on a bag of nuts could be adding several hundred cals per day to your intake
• Granola is basically oats baked in oil with tons of added sugar
• Lashings olive oil on cooking/salad could be adding far more cals than you think
• Coleslaw isn’t actually healthy (cream, mayo & oil)
• Your ‘salad’ may have more cals than a burger & chips
• Nuts, nut butters & hummus are contain more cals from fat than from protein
It's confusing, which is why it helps to have a coach who's qualified in nutrition (hi 👋🏼) to help you break through the BS

What are you doing for NYE & have you noticed that as you age your alcohol tolerance has changed?
I hear a lot of midlife women saying their tolerance for seems to have disappeared in & they don’t understand why
It’s important to understand there’s an actual biological reason for this – it’s not that you're imagining it!
Women of any age generally have a lower tolerance than similar size men for alcohol, cos our levels of the enzymes responsible for breaking down & metabolising alcohol (dehydrogenase) are lower
But as we age our levels decrease even further, so we become much more sensitive to the effects of alcohol & it takes us longer to break it down & get it out of our body (cue the 2 day killer )
Also, our cartilage & tendons become drier as we get older – we literally have less water in our body – so our body’s less able to dilute alcohol, meaning our blood alcohol volume is higher on the same amount of
Finally (as an extra ‘bonus’) alcohol can make your worse - it disrupts & can trigger & 😫
Plus alcohol can cause tiredness, low mood & increase , & /fatloss resistance - already often issues for 😔
AND just a few units of alcohol a week can raise your risk of
So does this mean you have to give it up entirely?
Not necessarily
(although after going booze free you may find you feel so great you don’t want to drink, and there's the aforementioned breast cancer risk to consider)
My recommendations for are:
✅ only drink when it’s a conscious positive choice or special occasion rather than ‘just cos’
✅ only drink in moderation & with plenty of water
✅ switch to lighter options such as gin & diet tonic, prosecco
✅ only drink when you know you’ve got an easier day to get through the next day (I don’t mean lounging on the sofa, I mean a day where you’re not gonna be expected to be on top mental & physical form)
✅ find non-alcohol-based ways to de-stress & have fun

😔You're about to get DELUGED with ads for the diet industry
😔You've also probably had a lifetime of 'quick fix crash diet mentality'
😔You think you have to 'suffer' for things to work
⛔STOP⛔
'Diet' marketing
❌perpetuates all-or-nothing thinking & keeps you STUCK
❌creates 'Shiny Object Syndrome' - you're constantly searching out the next diet: "this one will work"
❌keeps you in a mindset where you only get excited about 'starting a new plan' but never seem to actually change
❌lies to you telling you you're only of value if you weigh less (when actually you're of equal value at any size, the benefit of not having excess fat & being unfit is your own physical health)
Because “just do this handful of small things daily for the rest of your life” doesn’t have the same exciting ring to it as 'diet' BS wrapped up in false promises
Small incremental changes don’t seem extreme enough to tackle the seemingly long way you have to go😔
But that ⬆️⬆ IS the way go get LASTING POSITIVE RESULTS!
✅Why I say 'you don't need a 'diet' you need a NUTRITION STRATEGY for LIFE
✅Why I use HABITS-based coaching & put MINDSET as one of the key components of my programme
✅Why I give you a consistent workout plan & movement target
✅Why I think it's important to educate you about perimenopause & menopause
✅Why I work with people for 12+ weeks
Consistency, patience, periods where you push harder, periods where you work on 'maintenance', & all the while building on positive habits & positive change FOR LIFE ❤

I hope everyone's had a fab Christmas!
Here's a reminder that your consistency of nutrition & fitness the other 51 weeks of the year makes overwhelmingly more difference than this one week...
And likewise what you do the other 5 or 6 days of this week make more difference than Christmas day & boxing day do!
That’s not a free pass to go crazy - you'll have seen my other posts on the negative impact of prolonged December overeating - but it IS I hope a reassuring perspective if you feel like you've overdone it a bit, and it's a reminder that the rest of your week can still include routine, movement & mostly sensible choices ❤️

Yes I know it's fashionable to say 'relax & forget about nutrition/fitness goals over xmas & new year' - but knowledge is power & you should know that the research shows that approach does more damage than good
It's not 'balance' to overshoot then try to diet it off again
Balance is remaining conscious, mindful & intentional around what you're doing & what you're consuming
And trying to mainly stick to routine, outside of a couple of planned celebrations
Balance ISN'T just YOLOing December & hoping you'll get away with it / be able to sort it out in January
If you need support to navigate the season, confirm to join my January kickstart programme NOW & be coached for FREE the rest of December💃🏻
(And of course there's always the option to start in January without any coaching the rest of December too if you really want!)

My aim is to increase your fitness in a way which supports & improves your everyday life. I want you to have more energy to play with your kids/play sport/lift heavy stuff, and to be more aware of your posture & nutritional choices.
I understand that many 'regular' people want to get fitter & feel better about themselves & their bodies, but may have to spend a lot of time sat down at work, have health issues, or struggle with confidence/motivation/competing priorities.
I found PT relatively late in life & understand what it's like to have a desk job & non-sporting background. I've been busy learning from some of the best, with courses on exercise technique, DNA SNPs, nutrition, immunology, & Pilates teaching, so I can see the big picture for you. I don’t intend to stop learning.
I see my role as supporting you achieve your goals, whether it's fat loss, building muscle, general fitness, strength, or a combination. It’s my job to understand how to get you from where you are now to where you want to be, and beyond. I aim to increase your knowledge and motivation, and to support and empower you to fulfil your full potential.
I focus on good technique & train clients in a way that challenges but doesn't exhaust them, corrects postural imbalances/weaknesses, improves physique, and gives knowledge, support and motivation. And I'm happy to join in for things like medball slams and glute band work if you need the support!
