Please book your place today if you would like to attend 😊

This group is based on Spiritual concepts and Holistic health. Many years ago, I ran a similar group which became really popular. However, the World and Society have changed so much in the last 10 years. I ran this group throughout 2025 and our first meeting for 2026 will be on Friday 16th January.....

🐇 ❌🐇🟰🤯
If you’ve ever fallen down a Dr. Google rabbit hole and come out feeling more anxious than informed… you’re not alone.
There is so much conflicting advice out there that it’s exhausting.

This is why I always come back to natural, time-tested foundations: nourishment, rest, nervous system support, gentle movement, and balance. 🥰

When your body feels supported, symptoms often soften. Energy improves. Mood lifts. You feel more resilient in your busy life.
I help women cut through the noise and reconnect with what actually works — simply, naturally, and sustainably. 🩷

😥So many women I speak to feel frustrated right now. GP appointments delayed, symptoms dismissed, and that lingering sense of “I’ll just have to put up with it.”

Here’s the truth: while the NHS is under huge pressure, you don’t have to wait until you’re at breaking point to care for your health.

💪Taking personal responsibility doesn’t mean doing it all alone - it means learning how to support your body naturally, gently, and consistently.

When you prioritise your wellbeing, you feel clearer, calmer, more energised… and more like yourself again.

I guide women back to simple, traditional foundations of health because I genuinely care - and because I know it is possible to get YOU back again.

➡️If this resonates, comment “me” or send me a message — I’m always happy to guide you.

As we come to the end of this week, I want to gently remind you of something important:

If you’ve been doing “all the right things” and still don’t feel quite yourself, it doesn’t mean you’re failing - and it doesn’t mean your body is broken.

Food intolerances and nutrient deficiencies can affect us quietly, over time. They don’t always show up as obvious digestive issues. Instead, they can appear as low energy, headaches, skin concerns, brain fog, poor sleep, aches, or a general sense of imbalance.

Add in stress, busy lives, changing hormones, and gut health, and it becomes clear why jumping onto the latest food trend or highly promoted product doesn’t always bring the results we hope for.

We are all different!
Different ages, lifestyles, pressures, and histories.
So what nourishes one person may not suit another - even when it’s labelled as “healthy”.

The most helpful changes usually come from understanding your body better, rather than pushing it to follow a one-size-fits-all approach.

When you gain clarity around possible intolerances, nutrient needs, and gut health, you can make choices that support you more gently and effectively - without guesswork or restriction.

✨ Small insights can lead to meaningful shifts
✨ Awareness creates options
✨ Support makes change sustainable

If you’ve been feeling that something is “off” and you’d like a clearer picture of what your body may need right now, there are supportive ways to explore this. Testing and personalised nutrition guidance can help you move forward with confidence and care.

If this week’s posts have resonated with you, trust that nudge. You’re very welcome to reach out, ask questions, or simply start a conversation about what support might look like for you.

Your body is always communicating - sometimes it just needs a little help to be heard 🌿

Did You Know?

We’re all different - so what nourishes us will be too.

👵Different generations.
👷Different jobs.
🧐Different stress levels, lifestyles, and life stages.

A busy professional grabbing lunch on the go, a parent juggling family meals, someone in midlife noticing new symptoms, or an older adult supporting long-term health - the body’s needs aren’t the same for everyone.

Even when two people eat the same foods, their bodies may respond very differently. Food intolerances, nutrient deficiencies, and gut health all influence how well we digest, absorb, and use what we eat.

This is why jumping onto the latest nutrition trend, popular diet, or highly promoted “must-have” product isn’t always helpful - and in some cases can leave people feeling worse, not better.

A one-size-fits-all approach rarely works.

Understanding your body - what supports it and what may be quietly draining it - can make all the difference to energy, clarity, digestion, and overall wellbeing.

✨ Gentle awareness leads to better choices
✨ Personal insight leads to lasting change

If you’ve ever wondered why something that’s meant to be “good for you” doesn’t feel right, there may be more going on beneath the surface.

What fuels one person may drain another.

What’s one food, supplement, or trend that you’ve learned doesn’t work well for you?

The Vega test offers a personalised snapshot of intolerances and deficiencies, while tailored nutrition support helps you use those insights to support your gut and overall wellbeing. Just ask me what would suit you 🙂

Gut Health & Nutrient Absorption: The Missing Link

You can eat a “healthy” diet and still be deficient.

🤯 Why?
If your gut isn’t functioning optimally (inflammation, intolerance, imbalance), your body may struggle to absorb nutrients properly.

This means:

💊Supplements may not always fix the issue

😖Symptoms can persist despite good food choices

Testing can reveal what’s interfering with absorption - but ongoing nutrition support is key to improving gut health and making lasting changes, not just short-term fixes.

Ask Me about improving your gut health and nutrition 😃

🥦Even with a balanced diet, nutrient levels don’t just depend on what we eat — they depend on what we can absorb.

🥺If the gut is inflamed, imbalanced, or under stress, absorption can be compromised. In these cases, supplements alone may not resolve symptoms, because the underlying digestive environment isn’t being supported.

🥑This is why addressing gut health alongside intolerances and deficiencies is so important. It’s not about restriction or perfection — it’s about creating conditions where the body can actually receive and use what it’s given.

Nutrient Deficiencies Can Masquerade as “Normal Life”

Feeling tired, low, or unfocused? It’s easy to blame stress - but sometimes your body is missing key nutrients.

🧠 Did you know?

🍗Low iron can affect concentration, not just energy

🥦Magnesium deficiency may worsen anxiety and poor sleep

🥚Low B12 can cause tingling, mood changes, or memory issues

These signs are often subtle and build slowly over time.

If these symptoms sound familiar, identifying deficiencies is often the first step. The Vega test can highlight imbalances, and personalised nutrition support afterwards helps restore levels safely and effectively.

Modern life is busy ... why not make sure your nutrition is supporting you properly? Ask Me, I'm here to help 😃

Food Intolerances Aren’t Just About the Gut!

Many people think food intolerances only cause bloating or stomach pain - but that’s only part of the story.

✨ Lesser-known fact:
Food intolerances can also show up as:

🥺Persistent fatigue

🤯Brain fog or headaches

🥴Skin issues (eczema, acne, rashes)

🦵Joint or muscle aches

Because symptoms are often delayed, the trigger food isn’t always obvious.

If symptoms feel vague or “random,” testing can help bring clarity. I offer the Vega test, which can identify potential food intolerances and nutrient imbalances - helping take the guesswork out of where to start.
