Nurture Her Health Coaching

11/05/2026

My 1:1 client load is now full! This is very cool as a coach but means I won’t be taking on new clients for a wee while now.

If you are after 1:1 coaching, I have a number of sensational colleagues I can refer you on to both locally and virtually so please let me know.

Otherwise, I am still taking on projects within the corporate/business space; so if your workplace is in need of a little health and well-being TLC - I’d love to hear from you!

Every time I create a new presentation I’m met with the messy middle state of “what am I doing!?!” - lots of ideas, research, post-it notes, finding the flow, linking concepts, throwing things out - it sure ain’t pretty!

BUT without fail (so far) I do figure it out, get to the finish line, and there’s something beautiful that I’m so excited to share with my client.

Embracing the mess and chaos is part of a process; not something to illicit panic or fear. Riding the wave and trusting your brain to make sense of it (which it’s usually pretty good at doing) AND not giving up when it feels like you’ve bitten off too much.

Such is life my friends - it’s messy and chaotic but there is always something beautiful to come out of it if we can trust the process.

ps. This presentation is a pretty special one I’m doing today - look forward to sharing soon!

We need to talk…the food messaging out in the world right now for women is getting wild. We’ve swung back to the era of restriction and “thin is in” It has many of us in the women’s health space a bit riled up.

Amongst all the noise of this current phase, please remember - food is fuel, food is essential for the effective functioning of every part of you, and women especially - our hormone function is dependant on consistent nourishment from every food group.

I absolutely get it, food can be another super overwhelming series of decisions to be made each day (even more so if you’re neurodiverse) - I am one of those people who struggles with this too.

But if we can focus in on the minimum of:
1. Eating regularly/not skipping meals
2. Eating simply - snack plates are ALWAYS a good idea
3. Eating balanced - fun food absolutely has its place in each day
4. Hydrating - you’re probably dehydrated, go have a glass now
….that minimum will take us a long way.

Snapshot from the start of 2026.

I haven’t been so present here on social media this year, it’s a place I find tricky to navigate (and much of my client base don’t use it regularly anyway!)

I have, however, been very focused on presence in the nature, with friends, my family and community - each of which fills my bucket in a way that brings peace to the mind and soul, helping me be a more present coach and practitioner with my clients .

The world is a crazy place right now, we are reading and seeing a lot of tough things going on. Being able to come back to what we can control and influence in our own sphere - that’s important I think.

And if it does mean less time on social media, more time grounded in the spaces around you - that can only help!

Working my way through We Can Do Hard Things by Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and Amanda Doyle.

Answers to 20 of life’s biggest questions - this section on “How do I make peace with my body?” has especially stood out for me as a woman, as a girl mum, and as a women’s health coach.

Many of us spend much of our adulthood reconciling the narrative we were fed about our worth, what our bodies meant, the fear and control they created - the lack of love and comfort we felt in them.

Learning to love our vessel, to view it as a cosy home that fights for us every day, to listen to and honour the little nudges and messages it sends us can be major work.

It is my hope that our next generation of girls will have a much easier time with this journey because we are doing the work to find peace in our bodies and self-worth beyond the societal narratives designed to control them.

“To make peace with my body I reject anything that tells me to fear myself or that I’m broken” 💪🏼✨

Shelling walnuts by hand today and feeling very humbled by the process. 🌰🔩🌳

Walnut trees take a lot of time to grow, are absolutely huge deep rooted creations of nature, and require patience to get the fruits of its labour.

A walnut is perfectly designed for protection, you can’t get to the worthwhile bits without a fair effort.

Cracking them open by hand is messy, a bit fiddly, and definitely slower than tipping a bag out of the supermarket packet. But there’s something grounding about working for your food, about being part of the process instead of removed from it.

There’s wisdom in the walnut, if we’re willing to slow enough to notice.

Question - If nourishment isn’t just what you eat, but how you live, where might you need to slow down and go back to basics?

I think of summer as recalibration season.

Not the season for big goals, reinvention, or fixing everything.
But a gentle pause to check in.

Questions like:
• What’s been working for me?
• What’s quietly draining me?
• What do I want less of next year?
• What do I want to protect more?

When we don’t pause to recalibrate, we just carry the same patterns forward and hope a new year magically changes things.

Recalibration doesn’t need a plan.
It just needs honesty.
And a bit of breathing room.

For me? Recalibration this summer is looking like...
🛏 Going to bed earlier instead of pushing through tiredness for "me" time
⚖ Lowering my expectations of myself temporarily without guilt
☀Spending more time outside and less time scrolling
🧘‍♀️ Releasing the pressure to be productive and making space to just be

Boxing Day is about taking it slow.

It’s a recovery day.
For your nervous system. For your body.
For the part of you that’s been doing literally all the things for all the people over the last few weeks.

If you feel flat, irritable, or weirdly just done today, that’s not “post-Christmas blues”. It’s your system coming down after sustained stimulation, emotion, and responsibility.

Adrenaline drops.
Cortisol settles.
And what’s left is often exhaustion.

Today doesn’t need reflection, productivity or a tonne of motivation (unless you're travelling, then I wish you ALL the luck on your journey).

It might need:
• Rest without guilt
• Fewer decisions
• Gentle movement or stillness
• Simple food
• Quiet moments where your body can exhale

If all you do today is breathe a little deeper, sit a little longer, or choose ease over effort, that is enough.

This is nervous system recovery; and it matters more than we give it credit for 🤍

💬 What does your body need today?

✨ Merry Christmas ✨

If the kids are loud, the food isn’t Instagram-worthy, the house feels chaotic, or you’re sneaking five minutes alone with a coffee (or bubbles) … you’re doing it right.

Christmas is allowed to be:
🎄 messy
🎄 joyful
🎄 emotional
🎄 loud
🎄 quiet
🎄 full
🎄 gentle

All at once.

Wherever today finds you - hosting, travelling, grieving, celebrating, surviving, or somewhere in between - I hope you find a moment to pause and breathe.

Sending so much love to you and your people this Christmas
