Women over 40 absolutely benefit from resistance training.

Building muscle is one of the best things you can do for your health through perimenopause and beyond.

But somewhere along the way, the message became:

“Lift heavy or it doesn’t count.”

And that’s where I think many women get stuck.

I’ve been out of the gym for a few months.

Could I have lifted heavier than I did in my first session back? Probably.

Did I? No.

Because I try to approach exercise the same way I approach nutrition with my clients.

We start with foundations.
Then we build.

Before I stepped back into the gym, I spent a week increasing my daily movement and adding a few short strength circuits at home.

Nothing fancy, just allowing myself to get back into a routine without overdoing it.

Because the goal isn’t one hard workout.

The goal is sustainable training you can keep showing up for.

Yes, we want to lift heavier over time.

But first, we need a body that feels capable of doing it. Start where you are and build from there. Your future self will thank you for it.

A big thank you to Mikaela for organising such a fabulous night 💖

A lovely group of women coming together to learn more about perimenopause, what’s changing through midlife, and how to support the body through it all.

We spoke about:
– nutrition and lifestyle support
– the importance of the lymphatic system
– skin changes through midlife
– and even did a lymphatic face brushing demo ✨

There were lots of thoughtful questions, a few laughs, and some really lovely conversations throughout the night.

I always feel so grateful to be able to have these conversations and help women make sense of what’s happening in their bodies.

More of this please 🤍

I hear this more often than you’d think:

“I thought I was cruising through perimenopause… then everything changed.”

For a while, things feel manageable.

Your cycle shifts a little.
Sleep isn’t perfect, but who’s is?
Overall… you feel okay.

And then suddenly:

- Weight starts to change (often around the middle)
- Your energy drops
- Your body feels unfamiliar
- You feel like you’re taking it out on those closest to you

Frustratingly, what used to work, simply doesn’t anymore.

And it feels like it’s come out of nowhere.

As hormones shift through perimenopause — particularly oestrogen — your body starts responding differently to stress, food, sleep, and exercise.

Same habits.
Different response 🤯

This is where most women start to panic.

Cutting calories, fasting in the morning, increasing exercise.

But often, that just adds more stress to a system that’s already trying to adapt.

✨ The shift isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing things differently.

If you’re nodding along, I’ve got you!

You can message me and we can talk through what’s been going on for you ✨ and where I’d suggest you start.

This meal doesn’t look complicated.

And that’s the point.

Women I see are often over complicating what they’re eating, what they’re doing, and what they’re taking.

Of course you need to make change to see change, but it doesn’t always mean an entire overhaul. I’m often only tweaking what clients are doing, improving their current meals to make them a little more wholesome and meeting their health goals.

The key is finding what’s driving the symptoms, that’s where seeing a practitioner helps. It stops you from sitting in the unknown, from another failed diet, and just longer not feeling your best.

If you’re ready to start finding answers and finally feeling like yourself, drop me a message, let’s chat!

She came to me wanting to lose weight.

And yes — the scale moved.

But what stood out more wasn’t the number.

It was how much her body changed without a dramatic drop on the scale.

This is something I see often.

Women making real progress, but feeling frustrated because the scale doesn’t reflect it in the way they expected.

Because the scale only tells you total weight.

It doesn’t tell you:
– where you’ve lost body fat
– how your body composition is changing
– how your hormones are responding
– how your energy and sleep are improving

And those are the things that actually matter.

When we focus only on the number, it’s easy to miss the bigger picture.

And sometimes, it leads women to think nothing is working — when in reality, everything is starting to shift.

This is why I don’t have my clients rely on the scale alone.

Because progress isn’t just about weight.

It’s about how your body is functioning, responding, and feeling day to day.

If you’ve been focusing on the scale but not feeling your best, this is exactly what I help women work through.

Do this 👇

Start with one thing. Get good with that and move onto the next.

It really is that simple (annoying right?)

What is your biggest pain point? Is it:

- gut issues
- Energy crashes
- poor sleep
- weight gain
- irritability
- lack of exercise/movement

What is one thing you can do to improve that? Overhauling everything at once will just leave you even more exhausted - and we don’t want that!

1. Choose a starting point
2. Remove some of the pressure (yes I’m talking to you perfectionists)
3. Build from there

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed and still are not sure where to start, send me a message and we can chat 💖

As a clinical nutritionist this comes up in 90% of my clients.

It’s one of the most common things I work with. They learn:

a) What to eat
b) When to eat
c) and a beautiful side effect is losing the extra weight that’s all of a sudden shown up

The look on their faces when I tell them what 40g protein looks like 😲

If that’s the face you pulled when you read this post, we should probably talk. Send me a DM and I’ll let you know where I’d start. 💖

No one really prepares women for this stage.

Peri menopause isn’t just ‘a few hot flushes’

It’s a complete shift your hormones as you currently know them. Affecting:

- Energy
- Sleep
- Mood
- Metabolism
- Cycles

Most women are left trying to figure it out on their own, questioning their sanity!!!

Don’t worry, that’s why I am here! I’m passionate about helping women make sense of it all.

If you’re in your 40’s+, have been feeling off and can’t quite explain why, this might be part of it.

I’m opening up a small 8-week program to support women through this. I use the exact method I use in 1:1 clients. Comment Peri if you want details 💖

Last night 😍

Talking about perimenopause with a room full of women (& 2 men!) and having real, honest conversations about what’s actually going on in their bodies.

So many are trying to do the “right” things… but feeling tired, flat, wired, or just not like themselves.

This is exactly what I see every day in clinic.

A lot of confusion and not knowing where to start. What they need is the right support, in the right order.

Perimenopause can feel overwhelming when no one has properly explained what’s happening.

Being able to simplify it, and help it actually make sense, is something I care deeply about.

I’m opening up a small 8-week program for women navigating this, if you’re wanting more support.

If you’re reading this and thinking “this sounds like me”,
comment or message me PERI and I’ll send you the details. 🤍
