Happy Saturday I love jam, but so many shop-bought jams have SO MUCH SUGAR and often a whole load of other ingredients that personally… I don’t think jam needs… As I like to keep it simple, less ingredients the better. And, what’s even better, blackberries are abundant at the moment, which you can forage FOR […]

Winter berry tonic
I know it probably feels too early to be talking winter berry tonic, but the blackberries are out and they are great this year and the elderberries are ripening up about now too. So it’s the perfect time to get foraging and collect your berries to make this tonic that will see you through the […]
Breast care through nutrition
Hello, I did a podcast that I released the other day about breast health and nutrition. There are simple things we can do to improve our health that reduce the risk of breast cancer, or if in the unfortunate instance, you get a diagnosis, improve the chances of a better outcome. You can watch the […]
Do you live well?
I had a lovely conversation at the end of Pilates with a couple of my clients on Tuesday. They were telling me how much they enjoyed the benefits of coming to class regularly. Because they look after their bodies they can get out and do their gardening and even do knitting. If any aches or […]

Hello, I love (and am exceptionally good at) finding adaptive and alternative ways to do exercises. I know the importance of building strength and movement for your health and even more so as you get older. None of us are getting out of here alive, but that doesn’t mean you need to become frail and weak. It […]

Do you need a body and mind reset?
I hope you are well this Wednesday… This may or may not be something you want to hear, but we are entering the last quarter of the year! I find this is a good time of the year, holidays are mostly done, to do a body and mind reset. My free 5-day body and mind […]
Who benefits from doing Pilates?
Hello, I have been teaching Pilates since 2009! I absolutely love teaching it in my live online classes and in 1:1 sessions. The thing I love most about it is it’s so adaptable and I am yet to work with someone that couldn’t get a benefit from the exercises, no matter how we adapted them. […]
