Six weeks ago, I couldn't lift a kettle!

I'm an occupational therapist, and I tore my bicep.

Suddenly opening jars, carrying shopping and washing my hair weren't automatic any more.

Six weeks on, I'm lifting 3 kg weights, swimming and pain-free.

My power isn't back yet, but I'm so much further along, and the difference has been the people around me.

Friends and family who encouraged me without taking over.

Losing function is quiet. It starts with "I'll just ask someone to do that for me."

If you're worried about your mum or dad's strength, balance or confidence, please don't wait for a fall or a crisis.

Independence is far easier to protect than to rebuild.

Message me for a no-pressure chat. And share this with someone who might need it. 💛

Did you know that a third of people over 65 fall at least once a year?

Falls are a major cause of hospital admission in older adults , and one fall can mean a loss of confidence and sometimes a loss of independence

The encouraging news is that falls aren't an inevitable part of getting older and regular strength and balance exercises can reduce your risk. My new beginner level seated functional exercises are a gentle first step for building leg strength from the safety of a chair. Give them a try and see how you feel

There are 8 videos in the beginner programme and this will only cost you £25

This is one of the videos shortened to give you an idea of what you get.

Please get in touch if you have any questions

Boggy ground is apparently a brilliant balance teacher.🌿

On Mull, every step was a small negotiation: soft peat, hidden dips, wobbly tussocks. Your feet, ankles and hips are constantly reading the ground and making tiny adjustments, and that's balance in action.

As an occupational therapist, I love this because it's the same skill we rely on every day: stepping off a kerb, walking on uneven pavements, getting across the garden. The more we practice adapting to changing surfaces, the more confident our bodies become.

So next time the path gets a bit wobbly, enjoy it. Your body is learning. 💚

Ever notice how your balance changes the moment you step off the pavement? 🌱

Grass, gravel, sand, uneven ground — every surface asks something different of your feet, ankles and core. And for a lot of us, that's exactly where confidence starts to slip… so we start avoiding the paths we're less sure of.

The good news? Balance on different surfaces is trainable. A little practice on grass or gravel, done safely, goes a long way toward feeling steady again — wherever your feet take you. 👣

It's been a busy few weeks! 🍂

Between welcoming new clients for assessment and seeing familiar faces return for rehabilitation, I've had some wonderful moments watching things "click" for people — there's nothing quite like seeing someone blossom as their confidence and independence grow.

And on the home front, we've welcomed a new arrival too — meet Percy, our very fluffy 5-year-old cat! 🐾

As autumn settles in and the leaves start to fall, pavements and paths can get slippery underfoot. If you're worried about slips, trips, or a loved one's balance and confidence, I'd love to help.
