I used to be known in my peer group as ‘fitness Jen’. I was the fit and healthy one. Always in the gym, eating healthy food, living life to the max. The problem was, I wasn’t listening to my body crying out for attention. It needed rest. It needed less go, go, go. It needed […]

Are you a chronic people pleaser?
Are you a chronic people pleaser? I used to be (and still can be if I am not paying attention)! If you are not sure: Do you say yes to everyone else, and no to yourself? Do you put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own? Do you do things hoping that other people will […]
The fundamentals of your health…
With your health, how much attention do you give to the fundamentals? Know your values, drink sufficient fluids to hydrate, eat nourishing food, breathe well, and move your body multiple times a day… Then build from there… Magic pills & speedy results sound sexy… But they don’t last (if they even work)… If you make sustainable lifestyle […]
ill health, shame, blame & guilt
When I have been in a health crisis (major Crohn’s flare), there have been times that I have felt ashamed and guilty and also blamed myself. That is a horrible rut for you to be in (speaking from first-hand experience). It seems it’s not that uncommon. I have spoken to a few women recently […]
Have you lost connection to yourself?
Here is a question: have you lost connection to your old self? When speaking to them about how I can help, I often hear this from women. They have been mums, carers, or careerwomen for so long that they have stopped focusing on themselves. They may have developed a health condition or experienced a physical […]
Do you take time out regularly?
At the end of 2020, I realised I had only taken one weekend off work. It was a weird year, and I entered distraction and work mode. If I kept busy, there would be no room for worry. The problem with that was that by the end of the year, I was exhausted, hated my […]
What do you do, when you feel stuck?
On Monday I wasn’t having the best day… One of my friends asked me how I was, and the best word I could come up with was scunnered (I love that word). I felt stuck, frustrated and lost in my problem. This feeling cycles through me often. Sometimes, it is business, health, my place in […]
Do you know how your mindset influences your health?
Being unwell, injured or living with a health condition can be challenging, and how your mood is impacting influences your health outcome. If you feel stuck, I can help. If you are limited in your abilities and doing things for yourself, you can feel frustrated, helpless, trapped. You don’t realise how free you are until […]
Are you trying to do too many things and getting nothing done?
How are you today? With Monday’s email going out on Tuesday afternoon, you will get a hint of where I am at this week… The to do list keeps growing and I just don’t seem to be getting things ticked off! As a small business I am pretty much everything (apart from the tech things […]
Take time for reflection BEFORE setting new goals
It can be very easy at this time of year to get caught up in what you want next year to look like… BEFORE you do that, can you take a pause to reflect on the year just gone by? I was a chronic overachiever who never took time to celebrate (or even acknowledge) anything […]
My driving force Why I do what I do…
Edit Edit date and time One of my friends is very into astrology, and we talked about my birth chart… I am Pisces Sun & Moon with a Virgo rising… Apparently, having the same sun and moon sign is quite unusual, and she told me that it usually drives great self-sufficiency. It could explain […]

Grieving the life I ‘should’ have It’s an up and down journey…
“Some of the most complicated grieving we’ll ever do is mourning the life we ‘should’ have had” ~ Dr Glenn Patrick Doyle. I remember sitting in the hospital with a medical professional and being told (while I was upset about some news that was being delivered) that I would ‘just need to grieve my […]
Support and accountability to help you achieve what you set out to do
It’s getting to that time of year when we reflect on the months gone past and start to plan for the months ahead. How many times have you set yourself a goal or desired outcome and not quite made it to the finish line? Did you seek help and support or go it alone? All […]
My 5 Pillars for Body & Mind Reset
Living with chronic illness can be a rollercoaster, and when you end up in a flare, you can feel lost, scared, helpless, vulnerable, pissed off, angry, and out of control, like your freedom and independence have been snatched from you. It’s awful to feel that way. Since 2017, I have been re-evaluating how I get […]
Are you losing control in this busy season?
So many people I speak to talk about the madness of December and how they ‘just have no time’, and they are rushed and pushed all over the place with many, many commitments. They are stretched to breaking point… Is this you? Are you saying yes to everything, even if you really don’t want to […]

A year from now you will wish you started today
If only I had (enter whatever habit you are procrastinating on here) last year… I would be so much further ahead… I feel conflicted writing that first sentence because I believe everything happens at the right time, and we need to be in enough pain to push us in another direction… BUT… most of us […]
Mobility for neck pain
If you have neck and upper back pain, there are a couple of things you might be doing that aggravate it… Do you walk leading with your head rather than your heart? Do you spend a lot of time on your mobile phone or tablet, on a computer, reading a book, or just generally looking […]
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 […]
What’s the best detox?
I hope you are well this Wednesday… Last week, someone asked, ‘what’s the best detox to do? they were feeling bloated and sluggish’. Now, the response I gave probably wasn’t what they wanted to hear. I am sure they were looking for a quick fix pill/diet/juicing protocol they could follow for a few days. I […]

Do you need to escape?
Hello, I struggle to rest and relax in my own home… It’s where I work, so my mind constantly thinks about what needs to be done, what services I can offer, and what’s next… It’s constant and difficult to switch off from. I need to escape my house to recharge… Do you, like me find it […]
Do you get out into nature enough?
Hello, Did you know that connecting with nature is like hitting the reset button for your body & soul? It’s like a big, warm hug from Mother Earth. Getting outside more can help reset our circadian rhythm (our internal 24hour clock). So if you struggle to sleep at night or get up in the morning, are you […]
Resting in Menopause
I have been talking about resting in the last few weeks of Wednesday emails. Another conversation I am having more than I would like is with women in perimenopause (and post-menopause) who have to take time off work because of their symptoms. They feel like they are losing their minds and unable to cope with everything. […]
Super Lime Pickled Salad Sub
I hope you are well and enjoy these Saturday Kitchen posts… Eating is a joy… Which is not something I would have said 8 years ago. I had what I would now consider a lousy relationship with food for a long time. I would get stressed if I went somewhere for food and didn’t know […]
Resting!?!? How ‘good’ are you at it?
I am passionate about finding different ways to help us relax, rest, recharge and quiet the mind… These are all things that I struggled with for a long time. I have had several conversations over the last couple of weeks about resting… How ‘good’ are you at it? What is resting? Resting typically refers to […]
And… Rest
I am passionate about finding different ways to help us relax, rest, recharge and quiet the mind… These are all things that I struggled with for a long time. This week, how much time are you taking out for yourself? Do you find it challenging to rest and relax in your environment? Something around the […]
I am passionate about finding different ways to help us relax, rest, recharge and quiet the mind… These are all things that I struggled with for a long time. And this week, I had a really interesting conversation with a friend/colleague/client about being on a healing journey. Something I focused on when I worked with a […]
Supporting yourself through menopause
A few weeks ago now I did a talk at a holistic fayre about managing menopause. I got interested in menopause because 1. I am a woman and we are all going to go through it at some point. 2. I live with a chronic health issue that’s driven by inflammation – and most if not […]
What the heck is the triple goddess?
The first person to speak to me about the triple goddess concept was my doctor at the Centre of Integrative Care when I asked him about menopause and going through that phase while living with a chronic health condition. The Triple Goddess is a concept found in many neopagan and Wiccan traditions, which represents the […]
Its time to put you first.
Making time for yourself is one of the best things you can do for your mental, emotional, and physical health.

Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? I know I was… When would I start to feel well again? I knew it was possible, because I had been there before. I needed to listen to my body, be patient (which I am not good at), but most importantly, take positive action. Are […]
