10 Years of Loving You — a whole decade of joy, laughter, lessons, and a kind of love I never knew was possible.

There was a time when I was told I would never have children — unexplained infertility, no answers, just heartbreak. That pain pushed me onto a path I never expected… a journey into nutrition, healing, and eventually becoming a Nutritional Therapist.

Life turned my pain into purpose and you became the most beautiful reason of all.

Here is to 10 extraordinary years, my precious boy.
Thank you for choosing me.
My heart is forever yours❤️

In the rush of everyday life, it’s so easy to take the simplest things for granted. The ability to move our bodies, the warmth of the sun on our face, the breath that comes effortlessly, the quiet moments of good health we hardly notice.

But these “little things” are actually the biggest gifts.
And the most precious one of all? OUR HEALTH🧡

This holiday season, instead of giving something that gets forgotten… why not give something that truly matters?

Gift the gift of better health.

Whether it’s preventive health testing, foundational supplements, or tools that support long-term wellness — it’s a way to show your loved ones that you care in the most meaningful way.

BLACK FRIDAY offer makes the perfect timing for holiday gifting! Links in comment.

Let’s appreciate the blessings we already have — and invest in keeping them.

Your body. Your breath. Your health. Your life.

Last night, I had the incredible opportunity to be one of the speakers at a diabetes webinar.

I’ve always tried to follow Richard Branson’s advice: “If someone offers you an amazing opportunity and you’re not sure you can do it, say yes — then learn how to do it later.”

I obviously said YES — even though public speaking terrifies me. I’m not a natural speaker, I lack confidence, but I know that growth only happens outside of our comfort zone.

Four years ago, I said yes to joining Zinzino, knowing nothing about direct selling. What drew me in was the science, the products, my own blood results (far from optimal) and the results we saw with my son. The journey has had its ups and downs, joy and tears, but I’m not a quitter.

Today marks a big milestone in my journey as a Zinzino partner, and I’ll be sharing my big win soon! 🏆

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined the webinar — your support and encouragement mean so much! 💛

Consistency, perseverance, and the courage to say YES — they never lose. Take care of your health, keep going and remember only quitters lose.

Did you know what we put on our skin, we absorb?

Our skin is our largest organ — so why would we put anything on it that isn’t clean, natural and good for our health?

That’s one of the many reasons I’m loving this Beauty Balm. I finally got to meet lovely Kerry, the founder of in person at the networking event after previously connecting on Zoom, and it made me love the brand even more.

I am all about supporting local businesses that truly care about what goes into their products.

Clean skincare matters, and this beauty balm is such a gorgeous example of why. Treat your skin like it deserves — with ingredients you can feel good about absorbing.

Did you know gut health is one of the most powerful ways to improve your overall well-being?

Your gut does far more than digest food — it impacts your energy, immunity, mood, skin, weight and even how well you handle stress. When it’s out of balance, your whole body feels it.

Supporting your gut can lead to better digestion, clearer skin, improved mood, weight loss and more consistent energy throughout the day. It’s amazing what can change when your gut is happy.

And honestly, my Thermomix has been a game changer in helping us eat better and support a happier gut. From fresh whole-food meals to quick nutrient-dense recipes, it makes healthy eating so much easier. And chopping veg has never been easier. It only took 3 seconds to chop my veg😆

If you would like to learn simple, effective ways to support your gut health, I can share a link to a webinar happening tonight at 7pm.

Just let me know and I’ll send it over!

Exciting New Study: Creatine for Brain Health in Peri- and Menopausal Women

Creatine is best known for boosting athletic performance, but this latest study explored its cognitive benefits in women. While research is still limited, here’s what they found:

✅ Faster reaction times – a cognitive boost
✅ Higher frontal-lobe brain creatine – better brain energy support
✅ Improved lipid profile – supports heart and metabolic health
✅ Trend toward fewer mood swings – very common during peri-menopause
✅ Well tolerated – no serious side effects reported

Creatine is found in animal-based foods like meat and fish. While our bodies produce some creatine naturally, it’s often not enough for optimal health, so supplementation or dietary sources like meat or fish can help.

Yes, it’s a small study with early findings, but it’s exciting to see more research focusing on women’s brain and metabolic health!

Personally, I have been taking creatine for a few months and can honestly say the benefits are noticeable. It’s also one of the most researched and safest supplements out there.

Half term vibes are in full swing over here 😅 The kids are off, work still needs to be done, and honestly… something had to give — and it’s been social media this week!

Running a business while keeping up with mum life is no small thing. My clients still need looking after, the snacks are endless, and the juggle is very real. I’ve also been solo parenting for two days, but somehow still managed to squeeze in 3 gym sessions (with the kids in tow, of course 💪😂).

But you know what? You can’t get this time back. So we are making memories — even if it means emails get answered a little slower and posts have to wait.

Tomorrow we are off to Manchester and we are so excited to see everyone!

How are all the other self-employed parents managing this week? Are you powering through or pressing pause for some family time?

The clocks changed today, but my body woke up early at 5:50am and ready to go. So I listened and went out for an early walk *in my pjs and coat on😅, and it felt amazing.

My first sunrise on the beach since we moved here… soft light, quiet waves, and that fresh morning air reminding me how healing simple moments can be.

No screens. No rush. No coffee needed (I had one later) — just daylight, deep breaths and gratitude. These little choices are the real “health hacks.” There is no magic pill to stay disease-free — it’s the daily rhythm that matters: good nutrition, sleep, stress management, movement, targeted supplementation, and connection with our community and nature.

Tiny shifts. Big change. And it all starts with how you greet the morning.

Have a beautiful Sunday everyone😊

“Mum, can we have ice cream?”
2 minutes later… voilà! 🍨

Just a bag of frozen fruit, a splash of lemon juice, an egg white, and a little sugar — and my Thermomix works its magic.

Quick, fresh, and made with love ❤️

I am a Thermomix advisor, if you need one in your life (who doesnt?!😅) ask me how to get a discount.

Quick, Delicious, Gut-Loving: Pudla!

This savoury chickpea (gram flour) pancake is my go-to for a fast, nourishing lunch that keeps my gut happy and energy steady.

Why It is Great for Your Gut:

·        Prebiotic fibre feeds healthy gut bacteria

·        Plant-based protein for lasting energy

·        Naturally gluten-free and easy to digest

·        Anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric & cumin support gut lining health

Quick Recipe:

·        Mix 200g chickpea flour + 250ml water + ½ tsp turmeric + 1 tsp cumin + 1 tsp salt + grated veggies (optional)

·        Let rest 30 mins

·        Pan-fry in a little coconut or olive oil for 2–3 mins each side

·        Serve with your favourite filling (I had it instead of bread!)

Why Chickpea Flour Beats Wheat for Gut Health:

1.     Higher fibre content = feeds beneficial gut bacteria

2.     Lower glycemic index = steadier blood sugar

3.     Gluten-free = suitable alternative for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease

4.     Lower in calories than refined wheat

5.     More protein = supports muscles & overall health

6.     Richer in vitamins, minerals, and fibre, but fewer carbs

Did my gut test this morning – finally!

Despite being terrified of needles, I managed it… though it did take me a solid 15 minutes to work up the courage to prick my finger. Such a wuss 😂 But hey, I got there in the end!

Feeling more tired, bloated or anxious lately? It could be your gut talking.

Hormonal shifts during perimenopause don’t just affect mood and energy — they also impact your gut microbiome, immune response and intestinal barrier.

As oestrogen levels decline, microbial diversity decreases and gut permeability increases — leading to inflammation, digestive issues and mood changes.

Your estrobolome — the community of gut bacteria involved in oestrogen metabolism — plays a key role here. When there is dysbiosis (an imbalance in gut bacteria), hormonal symptoms can feel even worse.

Supporting your gut means supporting your hormones.
