People ask if I miss the law. I miss the people. I do not miss what it was doing to my body.

Conveyancing ran on deadlines that arrived whether or not you had slept, eaten properly or drawn breath since Tuesday, and for years I treated that pace as simply what the job cost. What I did not clock, until a routine blood test told me otherwise, was that the body keeps its own record of a decade like that, quietly, long after the completions have gone through and everyone has moved on to the next file.

I see the same pattern now in the professionals I coach: people who are excellent at their jobs and mediocre judges of their own exhaustion, because nobody ever taught them to notice the second thing while they were busy proving the first.

If any of that sounds like your working week, I would rather you tell me now, in the comments or my inbox, than find out the way I did.

The women I coach are not looking for a transformation. They want their energy back.

A client told me recently that she did not want to look different in her holiday photos, she wanted to stop needing a nap to get through a Saturday. That distinction changed how we worked together, because we stopped chasing the scales and started rebuilding her sleep and her blood sugar instead.

Three weeks in, she messaged to say she had walked the dog after dinner without dragging herself out of the door first. A big difference to her life.

That is usually how it goes: nothing dramatic happens but energy just quietly comes back online.

If a Saturday like that sounds a long way off right now, tell me what yours looks like, I would love to hear it

In 2021 69% of legal professionals said they had experienced mental ill health in a single year. LawCare's 2025 follow-up found 59% still scoring below the threshold for good mental wellbeing.

Behind those numbers sit fee earners running on caffeine and deadlines, support staff absorbing client pressure they were never trained to carry, and partners who have quietly stopped sleeping properly long before anyone else notices. Most firms have responded with an employee assistance programme, and most employee assistance programmes get used by around 12% of the people they are meant to help.

That gap is not a willpower problem. Ringing a helpline feels like declaring a crisis, and most of the people in that other 88% are not in crisis, they are just worn down, month after month, in a way that never quite reaches the threshold for asking for help.

What changes behaviour, in my experience, is something voluntary and visible: a person in the building on a known day, who understands the pressure because she carried a caseload herself for thirty years, sitting down with people before exhaustion becomes something worse.

If you lead a team, your own EAP usage figure is worth a look this week. It tends to be a sobering read.

Three decades as a solicitor taught me to look at the detail and weigh the evidence. Then I turned that skill on my own blood results.

In 2021 a blood test told me I had type 2 diabetes and 10 months later I was recovering from cancer. Two diagnoses in less than 2 years is not a coincidence you can file away and carry on. It is a memo you can't ignore, no matter how many emails you have in your inbox. I did what 30 years in conveyancing had trained me to do - I looked properly at what the evidence actually showed rather than what I hoped it showed.

What it showed was that whole foods, time-restricted eating and consistent movement could bring my diabetes back into remission and keep it there. I have now held that for years - through Christmases, holidays and a house full of adult boys home for the summer. That same evidence is why I am just completing my training in Prescribing Lifestyle Medicine and am working through the case study stage of the qualification now, due to finish this autumnn.

If any of the above sounds like your experience, I would be glad to talk it through - no obligation, just a conversation.

You are not doing anything wrong. The rules changed at 45 and nobody told you.

The eating plan that kept you steady in your thirties can stop working almost overnight in midlife, because years of shifting hormones, disrupted sleep and creeping stress change how your body handles blood sugar. That is biology, not a discipline problem, and it is why cutting calories harder rarely fixes it.

One small shift worth testing this week: add a source of protein to breakfast, an egg, Greek yoghurt or a spoon of nut butter, and notice what happens to your energy by eleven o'clock instead of by three.

Give it five days before you judge it, the first two rarely tell you anything.

Try it and tell me what you notice, I read every reply!

Your GP has ten minutes. Lifestyle change happens in the other 10,070 minutes of your week.

Most consultations are built to diagnose and prescribe, not to rebuild a routine and this is not a criticism of any GP I have met, it is simply what the system has time for.

The actual work of steadying blood sugar, protecting sleep and rebuilding energy happens in the ordinary hours between appointments; the meeting that runs long, the dinner eaten standing up or the third coffee that stands in for a proper break.

That is the gap lifestyle medicine is built to close, translating six well-evidenced pillars- food, movement, sleep, stress, connection and everyday habits into decisions you can actually make on Tuesday afternoon rather than a wellness retreat.

I spent 30 years working on the detail and evidence before I turned that same discipline onto my own health, and I am now completing my case studies for a qualification in Prescribing Lifestyle Medicine this autumn.

What would you want more time to talk through with your G if the 10 mins stretched further?

Big news I am excited to share!
I am coming up to completing my training in Prescribing Lifestyle Medicine as part of the pilot group which makes me one of the first cohort of health coaches in the UK to finish it.
The course is delivered by in partnership with Practice Unbound, and was created by and .
It's all about using food, movement, sleep and stress regulation as prescriptions for health, not afterthroughts.
As my final stage, I have 3 case study spots open at a very heavily discounted rate and I'd love one of them to be you.
- if you have been told you're pre-diabetic and don't know where to start beyond "eat less sugar"
- if you've got a surgery date coming up and want your body properly prepared (it;s call prehabilitation and is not often mentioned at the pre-op appointment)
-if you are simply running on empty, juggling everything at work and at home while your own health quietly slides down the list.

Any of these sound like you? There are only 3 spots so message me or book a complimentary call to see if we are a fit.

How To Work With Me

A month on from launching the website, here it is plainly: four ways we can work together.

One-to-one coaching for busy professionals. The Health Room, my small group programme for midlife women, opening this autumn (waitlist hears everything first). The Better Together Method for couples, with Emma Haigh. And workplace wellbeing for firms, especially law and property.

Every one of them starts with a complimentary 45 minute conversation. Link in bio, and thank you for a lovely first month.

Small steps sound underwhelming, I know. Overhauls are more exciting, right up until they collapse under a hard week at work.

What put my diabetes into remission was a series of unglamorous adjustments: a breakfast that did not spike me, a walk after meals, a calmer bedtime, one change at a time. Habits anchored to existing routines outlast bursts of motivation; the research is consistent and so is my lived experience.

Shrink the plan, keep the goal. Link in bio to start.

“I already know what I should be doing.”
Most people tell me that before their first session, and they are usually right.
Knowledge is rarely the obstacle; stress load, short nights, blood sugar swings and a diary with no room in it usually are.

In my complimentary 45 minute session we map where you are, where you want to be, and what is standing between the two. You leave with clarity either way, and there is no hard sell, because I find those as excruciating as you do!
