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 […]

The toxic messaging in the fitness industry
In the fitness and well-being industry, the prevalent messaging often takes a toll on mental and physical health. Promises like ‘Drop a dress size’ or ‘Lose X lbs in X days’ are frequently used to market weight loss and fitness programs. However, adhering to these strict rules doesn’t always guarantee success. What happens if the […]

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 […]
Do you know how to reduce chronic inflammation?
This week is Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week. When I was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2017, I went on a deep dive to work out why and how this could have happened to me. In my friend group, I was known as ‘fitness Jen’, and everyone (including me) thought I was fit and healthy… What […]
Butt Strength, balance and stability
Happy Monday to you… Although I talked last Wednesday about this being a busy season, it’s also a time of year when we can find ourselves sitting for long periods of time. Depending on what you do for your work, you might already be sitting most of the day… One of the many problems that […]
Porridge… How do you take yours? Sweet, salty… or both??
Porridge… I think the sweet or salty, milk or water debate can be as divisive as pineapple on a pizza (it’s a solid yes for me!) How do you like your porridge? What are your rules? Me, I like both… sweet and salty in the same bowl… just like popcorn… yes you can mix it […]
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 […]
Why do you need to strengthen your feet and ankles?
The Pilates for Beginners course started last Tuesday, and week one was about your feet and how you connect to the ground to improve movement. Each foot has 7000 nerve endings, which get desensitized when we are in shoes – the thicker the sole, the more problematic the shoe. Those nerves are meant to read […]

Basic Pilates Moves for back pain
Back pain can be breathtaking (not in a good way) and immobilising. One of the many things I love about Pilates is the mobility you get in your spine and the strength in the muscles to help support your body which can significantly reduce, if not alleviate the pain. Simple but powerful, that’s what the […]
How do you deal with anxiety?
I returned to the gym last week after 3 years away (and it’s probably been 4 or 5 years since I was there to exercise due to my ongoing health roller-coaster!). It wasn’t an impulse decision to go back. I had been toying with the idea since July – but didn’t want to be indoors […]
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 […]
