POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

It feels like today marks the unofficial end of summer… which feels slightly strange after spending most of it complaining about the 40-degree heat. 😂☀️

Looking back though, it’s been a pretty special one.

My youngest finally joining his big brother at school (a huge, slightly emotional landmark moment.) Beach days and ridiculously fresh, delicious food on the Isle of Wight. Family time up North, exploring the beautiful Northumberland coastline and even spotting dolphins 🐬. Woodland walks, den building and kids disappearing into the trees for hours.

We scattered Dad’s ashes at his favourite lake spot on his birthday, with my siblings — one of those moments that was both incredibly sad and incredibly special.

There were endless BBQs with friends, country breaks, reunions with old friends, far too many late-night garden chats (often because it was simply too hot to go inside!), and somehow finding time to create a new salmon roulade/dip/recipe obsession along the way. 😂

I’ve squeezed in as much contrast therapy as possible, spent a lot more time swimming and finally feel like I’m getting somewhere with my front crawl. 🏊‍♀️

And in between it all, we’ve been testing out a Range Rover vs Defender… and I’m officially stuck. 👀 If you’ve had either, which one would you choose?

A summer of big milestones, little moments, good food, family, friends, grief, laughter, fresh air, cold plunges, long chats and a lot of memories made.

And after all that complaining about the heat… I’m actually a little sad to see you go. ❤️

But then again… autumn is in my DNA. 🍂 I’m a Libra after all. ⚖️✨

So, September… I’m ready!

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐭…

You can eat well, exercise and try to do all the “right” things… but still feel like something is missing.

Because wellbeing isn’t just about our food or fitness.

Stress, inflammation, hormones, sleep, the way we spend our days and the people we surround ourselves with all influence how we feel.

As a holistic nutrition coach, I believe nourishing your body matters but so does nourishing your mind, your relationships and your sense of connection.

Some of the most memorable and uplifting moments in life don’t happen because we followed the perfect routine.

They happen around the table.
Over shared food.
Through conversations.
With people who inspire us.

That’s the idea behind 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐋𝐎 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 bringing women together through nourishing food, wellness experiences, inspiring stories and genuine connection.

Because sometimes what we’re missing isn’t another wellness habit.

It’s each other. 💛

Launching Soon.

The Foods I’m Loving That Are On Repeat This Summer…..

Summer always reminds me that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated.

I’m loving cooking over a fire, fresh BBQs in the garden and eating alfresco with family. Think local butcher’s steak, salmon skewers, sweetcorn, broccolini and even homegrown yellow courgettes picked fresh from the garden.

Salads are on repeat too, loaded with colourful veg, or fruit like peaches or& pears, walnuts, pine nuts, and finished simply with extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice.

Protein-packed omelettes are another favourite for busy days, while big platters of fruit and veg are perfect for kids to graze on while everyone enjoys the sunshine. If you can stand the kitchen heat, then a healthy tray-cake is ideal for kids on the go.

As a nutrition coach, I’m a big believer that the healthiest meals are often the simplest: seasonal ingredients, plenty of colour, quality protein and healthy fats, shared with the people you love.

Feel free to message below if you’d like the full recipes

This was a hard post to swallow….

Very honest and enough said here to caption anymore.
The sunshine is certainly helping my mood that’s for sure!

(Big love to all those who have reached out with support - all my incredible friends and family - some of which I’ve not seen in years, but have shown up for me from sending cards, flowers, kind messages, donating to cancer research and even coming to the funeral. You know who you are and It will never be forgotten - I too hope to be there for you one day when you need it.)

Another year spent with good friends and family in Dubai. We stayed at The Atlantis and left one week before everything kicked off. Appreciate it’s uncertain times over there right now but we will be back again next year, because nothing beats THIS feeling 🌴 ☀️ 🐟

November / December, a little life round-up ✨

The last two months of the year were a real mix who’s is the kind that feels very midlife in the best way.
Holding joy and responsibility at the same time.

A quick trip up to Newcastle to see my dad 🤍
A reminder that health, time and presence come first.

Big sing-along energy at Five with the girls.
Cold, bright bike rides through Richmond Park.
Deeply comforting soup season on repeat (you know I love a bowl that nourishes more than just hunger).

An incredible date night at Dorian with proof that great food is still one of life’s best pleasures 🍷
The final @swlondonwomen event of the year at The Broadcaster with community, conversation and women backing women, always.

Pete Tong Classics with the orchestra at the O2.
Speaking at Wandsworth Council as Chair of Putney Action Group - using my voice in rooms that matter.
Hosting Christmas in London 🎄
And ending the year exactly how I like it… with good friends, good food and a little sparkle for NYE ✨

As I step into the new year, I’m doing it with intention.
slowing down with purpose, choosing focus over frenzy, and creating space for some new and exciting things I can’t wait to share.

Because wellness, especially in this season of life, isn’t about doing more: it’s about doing what matters.

Onwards, gently 💫

Some days I just can’t drown out the background noise.
The chatter, the to-do list, the million mental tabs constantly open. It just feels overwhelming, like my brain is tuned to every frequency at once.

But put music on during a workout…
and suddenly the noise becomes the good kind.

The beat gives the thoughts somewhere to land. My body moves, the mind follows, and for a moment everything syncs.

Yes, I massively get distracted and start dancing between sets - but I also feel energised, present and genuinely alive when on this wavelength (it’s probably why clubbing days before kids got me through life!)

Different brains, different pathways and sometimes the right soundtrack is exactly what we need to feel regulated, strong and free 💫

What a night ✨

We believe in real connection, honest stories and collective strength. Last month’s “Pause That Powers You” gathering brought exactly that - a room full of women, sharing, listening, supporting one another, and turning overwhelm into clarity, and, insight into power.

We were moved by the inspiring journeys of our speakers: from mid-life rediscovery and purpose-driven entrepreneurship, to balancing motherhood and law, to transforming personal trauma into a bridge for safer conversations.

Their stories reminded us that growth often comes in unexpected moments and it’s powerful when we share them together.

Our mission is simple: to create a safe space for women to connect, grow, pivot and belong. We champion diversity and support ambition So whether you’re building a business, rethinking your career, navigating life’s changes, or simply craving genuine in-person connection, then you belong here.

If this sounds like you then sign up to our mailing list and…
🎯 Save the date: Our next gathering is set for 26 February 2026. Keep your eyes on your inbox as we’ll share the details soon.

Here’s to community, courage, clarity — and to women always lifting each other up
