“Where in my life do I need more rest, nourishment, or connection?” ✨

This is one of the topics we will be reflecting on at our retreat day tomorrow. I like to hand-write the journal prompts myself. There’s something grounding about pen on paper. It slows me down, helps me pour more thought into the words, and feels like a quiet way of connecting with the women who’ll be reading them tomorrow.

These small details matter to me, they carry the energy I hope everyone feels when they arrive: calm, cared for, and connected.

Tomorrow’s going to be something special 🤍

A little round up of some parts of my life recently. Many great memories are just for safe keeping in my little brain. Movement, food and happy times are such a big part of my life and essential to keeping my mental state in tact. Without them life feels hard. Life’s been busy, tough, rewarding and testing but I’m learning so much and so fortunate for what I already have and am building 💭

Lemon loaf 🍋

I shared this one a while back in my recipe newsletter. I grew up absolutely loving the lemon cake my mum cakes so I couldn’t resist trialling a GF version. It’s super light and refined sugar free. It’s fluffy plus full of protein from the eggs and fibre from the almond flour.

Don’t have lemons from the tree? Try it with oranges instead 🍊

Let me know if you try it!

A day in the life of someone that utilises nutritious food to make there bleed experience better 🙂

Photographed is one my days food from my most recent bleed. This is obviously food that is always nutritious to eat for most people at any time, but especially during this time because the foods are rich in iron, hydrating, warming and anti inflammatory, meaning they help to reduce the inflammatory response and how we experience menstrual symptoms helping to manage excess prostaglandin production, easing cramps naturally. Eating foods like this and reducing caffeine significantly improves the level of cramping I experience.

For snacks I had: beef jerky, turmeric and ginger tea, cucumber and dark choc.

For lunch I had lentil and chicken vegetable bowl

For dinner I had spag bol with quinoa noodles and zucchini and carrot mixed through

Morning tea: greek yoghurt with raspberries

Breakfast was: buckwheat and chia porridge with blueberries and granola. You could just have oats though.

Not pictured is a decaf coffee with breakfast ☕️

We’ve complicated wellness so much that we’ve forgotten the most important part, it’s meant to sustain you, not drain you.

Everyone’s looking for the perfect supplement, the optimal workout, the next habit that will finally make them feel balanced.

If your body and mind are already stretched thin, layering on more “should’s” will only exhaust you further.
Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your health is pull back, not add more.

What I see so often is people trying so hard to get it right and Ive also fallen into this trap at times.

Stacking new routines on top of an already full life, hoping that if they just find the right mix of supplements, workouts, or habits, everything will finally fall into place.
But I also see the exhaustion that follows.

The sense of “I’m doing all the things… why don’t I feel better?”

And it’s usually because the foundations aren’t being cared for, not out of neglect, but because life is already busy or are out of your control to a point.

When your system is stretched, even the best wellness plan won’t hold.

You don’t need to be more disciplined or add more to your plate.

You need space, to rest when you can, to eat in a way that truly satisfies you, to move because it feels good, not because it’s scheduled.

That’s where sustainable health begins.

In the basics that quietly hold everything else together, then we add in.

If wellness has started to feel like work, this is your reminder to pull back before you pile on.

Our brains love speed. But our nervous systems? They love rhythm.

The art of noticing is about creating that rhythm again, slowing the pace just enough to actually see what’s in front of you.

Science shows that when we deliberately see what’s around us, our nervous system gets a moment to shift from “on” to something calmer. For example, spending just 10–20 minutes in a natural setting has measurable benefits for our bodies and minds.

When you pause long enough to catch a breeze, smell your coffee, or notice how the sun hits the floor, your brain gets a simple message: it’s okay to relax.
This isn’t about controlling stress, it’s about shifting how your body experiences it.

Because the more you train your attention to notice the good, the easier it is to stay grounded when life moves fast.

🌿 Try it today: find one moment worth noticing. Let it land.

Ever wondered why your healthy habits never seem to stick — even when you really want them to?

Most of the time, it’s because the habits you’re trying to build don’t fit the season of life you’re in, or they simply don’t feel like you.

Maybe you’re trying to rely on willpower instead of structure.

Maybe your environment still supports your old routine.

Maybe your nervous system is running on stress mode, and consistency is the last thing your brain can focus on.

Or maybe… you’re just not that interested in what you’re doing (a common one) and often because we don’t understand the why because why it’s good for us. 

When you’re forcing habits that feel boring or disconnected from what you actually enjoy, motivation fades quickly. We stick with what feels good, not what feels like punishment.

Small, realistic shifts that honour your energy, your interests, and your environment. That’s where things start to stick.

As both a health coach and occupational therapist, this is the work I do with clients every day, helping them understand why change hasn’t worked before, and creating routines that finally do.

If you’ve been trying to find consistency and it keeps slipping through your fingers, I’d love to help you explore what’s really standing in the way. You can book a free discovery call via the link in my bio 😘😘

✨ What you’ll learn in our retreat workshops ✨

Our workshops are more than just talks. They’re a space for reflection, open conversation with others, and for learning practical tools you can take into your daily life.

Together, we dive into women’s health, stress, and the art of slowing down so you can gan clarity and feel more grounded.

🌿 The foundations of women’s health — nutrition that supports hormones, cycle-aware living, managing stress, and simple ways to slow down.
🌿 Stress & the nervous system — what cortisol does in the body, why it’s meant to rise and fall (not stay consistently high), and how practices like breath work, noticing beauty, and real connection reset your system.
🌿 Everyday wellbeing tools — the power of nature, nourishing relationships, protecting your energy, being intentional with phone time, and prioritising real-life connection.
🌿 A holistic approach — looking beyond diet and exercise to embrace emotional, mental, social, and spiritual health across all life phases.
🌿 Slow living, Mediterranean-style lifestyle practices — intentional choices, mindful daily rituals, and savouring food, movement, and connection.
🌿 Rest & renewal — understanding the 7 types of rest and how to make space for them in daily life.

These workshops are about going deeper, peeling back the layers to discover what truly contributes to your health and happiness, and learning how to live with more presence, joy, and balance. ✨

Early bird ticket pricing at $279 isn’t running for much longer. Link in bio to book!
