Satisfaction comes from chasing adventure not pleasure.

Chasing pleasure is like eating sweets before dinner — quick hits, empty aftertaste.

Adventure feeds something deeper.

It’s the messy road trip, the wild detour, the thing you nearly chickened out of but didn’t.

That’s where satisfaction sets up camp.

Barbara has been taking my class for a while now and she’s still coming back for more!

We’ve been through a few changes within the class, trying out different formats, and now I think we’ve got the best format yet!

We start with a mobility based warm-up, moving the joints through a comfortable range of motion.

Then on to the meat of the class - a Tabata style class which consists of 20 seconds of exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest - we explore 5 different moves which are a mix of cardio, strength and mobility.

Then we put the moves together to create a mini flow which allows us to work on transitioning from floor to standing or testing our balance through a range of movement (or testing our brains - remembering the moves!)

Come and join us on Wednesdays from October!

This is absolutely true!

Whether it’s a stroll or sitting at a park bench, getting outside and in contact with nature significantly lowers stress hormone levels.

It’s easy to see why when the weather is this gorgeous.

Over the years I’ve done lots of different kind of walking.

Early morning walks, long marathon hikes, and steep hill walking!

Walking out in nature is one of those staple things that keeps me going.

And the science backs it up!

So allow yourself some small snippets of outdoor pleasure

It was decadent, and very sweet!

And today I’m out with a client turned friend (one of many).

We’re going for a walk in the Hertfordshire countryside (hopefully in the sun)!

Enjoying the fortune that my job brings me. So much richer for the clients in my life.

Sometimes you just need to spend some time pampering yourself.

This week I am working a couple of days but today I will be in a spa in Staffordshire with my partner, enjoying the rest.

Love to you all x

Did you know?
Just 10 minutes of massage can help switch your body out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and recover.” 💆‍♂️✨

That’s because massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system — the part of your body that helps you slow down, regulate stress hormones, and feel safe again.

It doesn’t take a full hour to feel the benefits. Even a short massage can lower cortisol, reduce anxiety, and support your nervous system to find calm.

📚 Research by Diego et al. (2004) found that even brief massage sessions improved mood and decreased stress markers by shifting nervous system activity.

Small moments. Big impact.

Pregnant woman don’t only need a relaxation massage, they want to be truly treated for their headaches, back aches, sciatica, swollen ankles, and symphysis p***s dysfunction.

Your treatment time will be focused entirely upon your needs – there is no massage ‘formula’ to follow.

It is usually a mix of relaxation massage and ‘hot-spot’ clinical massage focussing on the specific aches and pains you are experiencing.

I use a mix of techniques including trigger point therapy, stretching exercises, and relaxing effleurage strokes.

So why not book in today!
