How to set yourself free from guilt
It’s so easy to be our own worst critic. We all do things we might feel bad about – bailing on a friend, snapping at your partner, letting your children have too many sweets. In the work that I do with clients, self-compassion is one of the keys to growth. We...
A healthy diet & attitude towards food with the 80/20 rule

Rest more to achieve more
There’s a theme that’s been coming up a lot for me and with clients these past couple of weeks: REST I’ve personally had a very intense past few months and so now I’m intentionally prioritising my rest. In fact, at the moment, I’m prioritising my rest over exercise....
