✨ Another Goal Achieved! ✨

Last weekend I passed my exam and I’m officially a Certified Fitness Instructor 💪
Crushing it!

I’m currently working towards my Personal Trainer Certification and Gym Instructor Certification, both to be completed by February 2026 — and I’m loving every step of the journey.

About 3 years ago, I made a brave decision to change my career and follow my dreams.
I started with Yoga and other holistic modalities,
last year became a Certified Pilates Instructor,
earlier this year qualified as a Life Coach,
and now — Fitness Instructor ✔️

I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way.
Thank you to my incredible mentors for your guidance, encouragement, and belief in me. Your support truly means the world 🤍

By day, I’m a medical secretary.
By evening, I’m a Coach & Instructor.
I love learning, growing, and expanding — I truly believe in a growth mindset and never stopping learning.

Overall, it’s been a fantastic year personally and career-wise, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead.

✨ New class schedule coming soon ✨
Enjoy your Christmas break, and I’ll see you in January.

If you have goals you want to achieve —
let me help you get there.

✨ Breakfast full of goodness ✨
Blueberries, pecan nuts, 100% cacao nibs and Skyr yogurt… a nutrient-dense bowl that fuels your body from the inside out. 💙🥣

Here’s what each ingredient brings to your plate:

💙 Blueberries
Packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, fibre and phytonutrients. They help fight inflammation, support brain health and give you that natural energy boost.

🤎 Pecan Nuts
Rich in healthy fats, vitamin E, magnesium, zinc and fibre. Great for heart health, hormone balance and keeping you fuller for longer.

🍫 100% Cacao Nibs
Pure antioxidants, iron, magnesium and mood-boosting compounds. They support brain function, reduce oxidative stress and give a natural “feel-good” lift.

🤍 Skyr Yogurt
High in protein and calcium with very little fat. Protein helps build and repair muscles, supports metabolism and keeps blood sugar stable.

🌿 Why protein & whole foods matter
Your body thrives when you nourish it with real, simple, whole ingredients.
Protein keeps you strong, energised and satisfied. Whole foods give your body the vitamins, minerals and fibres it needs to function at its best.

✨ You are what you eat — choose foods that love your body back.

✨ Last Week of November — Christmas Countdown Begins ✨
The festive season is officially here… the gatherings, the shopping, the planning, the to-do lists. 🎄✨
And with all the busyness, it’s so easy to let your movement and wellbeing slip down the priority list.

But this is your reminder:
Your training matters even more when you’re busy.
Consistency now will keep you calm, energised, strong and grounded all the way into December.

Don’t miss your classes because of the December rush.
Instead, plan your week around your training — not the other way around.
Your body and mind will thank you.

Show up. Move. Breathe.
Give yourself the hour of peace your nervous system craves. 🌿

✨ Thank You So Much ✨
To everyone who joined myself and Ellen today for our Somatic Healing Workshop — my heart is truly full. 💛

What an incredibly nourishing afternoon of movement, release, healing, and connection.
The energy in the room was gentle yet powerful, and each of you brought something so special to the space.

Together we moved through:
🌿 Yoga to soften, open, and reconnect with the body
🤍 Somatic practices for deep release and emotional awareness
✨ EFT tapping to shift energy and clear inner blocks
🧘‍♀️ Meditation to ground, soothe and calm the nervous system
🔔 Sound healing with bowls + chimes to relax the mind and body
🌟 Reiki healing to restore balance and inner harmony

Every part of the workshop blended beautifully thanks to the openness and presence of each person who attended.

And of course — our tea break was such a wholesome moment. Warm cups, nourishing treats, and heartfelt chats with like-minded souls who value slowing down, tuning in, and taking care of themselves. 🤍

Workshops like today remind me why I love this work so deeply.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for trusting the process.
Thank you for sharing your energy with us.

✨ More workshops are already in the planning — I can’t wait to share what’s coming next. ✨

With gratitude,
Maggie 🤍
