“Life is a balance between holding on and letting go” - Rumi
Letting go allows us to create more space for what’s meant for us and allows us to experience life with greater presence. Sometimes the things we hold onto so tightly actually blind us from the opportunities and experiences that we’re meant to explore. It’s a fine balance. The ability to open our hearts and create space lightens our load emotionally, spiritually and physically. Take the time to quieten the noisy mind, breathe and move to let your energy flow and realign to your higher self.
I have a prayer I say each day :
“My source / higher power , help me to let go of that which is not meant for me. Give me the vision to see the signs I ask for. Help me to follow the path that is meant for me, and help me travel with the least inner resistance on that journey “ ✨🤍✨

This is a pinch me moment! What a journey it’s been to get to this point ✨

Collaborating with @theorganicproteinco as a Physiotherapist on the article “What Role Does Protein Play in Healthy Aging and Independence Later in Life” really feels like a full circle moment 💜

365 days ago my whole world changed shape …
How has 1 year flown past! I still can’t believe you’ve reached this milestone… you’re a whole 1 year my baby boy 🩵 Daddy and I are so blessed you chose us to be your parents. You have lit our lives up and injected our hearts with so much love we feel we could burst with joy! I love waking up to your cheeky smile and hearing your laughter …it’s the most healing sound! I could watch you sleeping all night long, sniffing your hair and breathing in your breath as I did so many sleepless nights when you were just a few months old sleeping on my chest feeding through the night from my body … your baby smell gives me life! … literal Oxytocin hits! Happy First Birthday my Sweetheart🩵🐯 (ps. It was 20 September … however life lifes and I’m only posting this now laugh😹)

And well done Daddy @vijesh_patel and me for supporting each other through the high cortisol, low sleep, mood changes, juggling work parenting and relationships, fears, tears and everything inbetween while raising the coolest little human ❤️

What an iconic night out … walking the red carpet to see a spectacular film premiere at the Odeon LeicesterSquare! The actor in me lit up watching this art piece of a film. The music is unworldly, the storyline gripping, the depth of the characters and acting superb , and transports the viewer into moments of historic importance. @benschnetzer was incredible in his performance as the great composer and conductor Sergiu Celibidache. I guess what made this so beautifully intimate was that his son was the visionary behind this masterpiece. It feels like a labour a love ❤️ thank you to @jameslaurenceo who wrote this extraordinary story for film and invited us to share the magic ✨ Please go watch this beautiful film @theyellowtie_movie when it comes to cinemas 08 October as it will move you 💛

The brief: jump onto a bannister, slide down, land it smooth, make it look effortless. For Lloyds Pharmacy Online Doctor’s Hello Confidence campaign. 🎬 @bma_models @bma_artists

What nobody tells you about postpartum bodies going back to work like this — it’s not just “am I strong enough,” it’s “am I going to pee myself in front of a full crew.” Pelvic floor still healing. Strength still coming back. And here I am about to throw myself onto a staircase rail, over and over.

So this wasn’t just a shoot. It was a test of where I actually was in my recovery.

MISSION 01: Find a bannister.
→ Not too high, not too dangerous, no bumps to catch a body sliding down it.

MISSION 02: Trust my body again.
→ Rehearsals first. Small wins. Quietly checking in with my core and balance each time.

MISSION 03: Make it safe.
→ A stunt coordinator by my side, giving me the confidence to actually go for it.

MISSION 04: Hit the mark.
→ 20 extras, choreographed to music — and me landing my bit in sync, every take.

MISSION 05: The camera doesn’t stop either.
→ Steadicam, backwards, down a staircase. No pressure.

MISSION 06: Get the shot.
→ 60+ takes between rehearsals and filming. One day.

By the end I wasn’t just relieved I made it through without an accident (postpartum mums, you know 😅) — I felt strong. Safe in my body. Like something I’d been quietly rebuilding had shown up exactly when I needed it.

The final film makes it look effortless. It wasn’t. It was 60+ takes of finding my confidence, one slide at a time.

Getting ready for a festival brought something back something I had really missed… ME 💖

Motherhood didn’t ask me to disappear — it asked me to evolve. This is me finding my wild woman again, one earring at a time. If you’re a mama remembering who you are outside of “mum,” I see you 🌸

I felt SO prepared for birth and motherhood…But nothing, and I mean nothing, prepared me for breastfeeding.

I imagined we would naturally just flow into it , baby finding my nipple - that’s why the surge of hormones oestrogen and progesterone stimulating melanin shocked me with the sudden color change! So that the bullseye could be located! I mean I went from caramel to dark chocolate!

I was so attached to the idea of breastfeeding … “breastfed is best”. But when baby was born he struggled to latch, suck and feed. I used different nipple shields, tried every possible position and struggled through the most horrendous pain.

Baby had a tongue tie. I took him to an incredible sacral Cranio osteopath to help release the tension from birth and hoped that would sort out the issues however she also confirmed the tongue tie.

Thankfully I was supported by the @westmidhomebirthteam who also had lactation consultants who would come home and help us nearly daily! With their recommendations I used supplements and a hospital grade breast pump to maintain my milk supply while we tried to feed baby breast milk from a bottle waiting and hoping he would eventually latch! For 3 months I pumped , and botle fed breast milk, setting my alarm every 2 hours to pump and had feed baby breast milk from a bottle so I could rest my sore and chaffed nipples.

Eventually we found our rhythm and with the help of brilliant NHS lactation consultants it all clicked!

What a journey … the oxytocin hit is worth every sleepless night and painful sensation. I literally felt like superwomen being able to nourish my beautiful boy from my body 💖

If you’re in the struggling part of the story right now — I see you. It doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re figuring it out, one feed at a time. 💜

Mummy and Daddy on a dancing date 🪩❤️‍🔥

At 10 months post partum, it felt so good to put something cute on, feel my sexy feminine divine self and dance my but off until my feet ached a little ❤️

What a beautiful day out for a killer @innervisions_official event . Sexy sets from @ame & @trikkmusic , @this_is_jamiie , @ivory.it and my faves @ryx & @jimi_jules. Unfortunately couldn’t stay for @dixon_ !

Best part was that we were literally 15 minutes from home which was the cherry on top 🍒 close enough to collect baby from his gran and do bedtime 🐯🩵

I have never felt fear like this before.

Our first virus. His body scorching, a lethargy I’d never seen in my baby before. Weak, unsettled, crying constantly.

I set alarms every hour just to check his temperature. Damp cloths to cool him down, counting down the 4 hours until his next dose of ibuprofen.

When he refused food and fluids, breastfeeding became everything — soothing him, hydrating him, supporting him.

Here’s what I didn’t fully understand until I lived it: your milk adapts in real time to your baby’s needs. When they’re sick, it shifts to boost immunity and hydration exactly when it’s needed most 💜

Our bodies are extraordinary💖

I couldn’t take the illness away. But I could offer comfort. And in that moment, that felt like everything 🙏🏽

Mama, if you’re in it right now — you’re doing better than you think 🤍 And you are not alone in this xxx
