Working with me starts with a decision for change. If you want to repair your health and enjoy your life but you don’t know how to do things differently, then let’s chat. I’ll guide you from there.

Protein needs increase with age. Starting the day with protein not only increases your chances of getting enough, but helps you to feel satisfied until lunch time with good nutrition to fuel you.

Exercise progression can be as simple as changing up the reps/sets of your weights, adding a hill to your walk, or increasing your exercise intensity for 20 second bursts.

I have ALL the expertise you need to get more active. There’s no barrier too big, no problem too hard to solve, no time too poor, no body too broken, no weight too heavy. Trust me, I’m a PhysioCoach!

Exercise CONSISTENCY is important to maintaining your baseline of fitness. Do more when you can, but don’t let less become nothing. A small something everyday preserves the habit of exercise.

For a REAL return to exercise, make sure you have all of your bases covered. Any new or upgraded exercise routine won’t last unless you support yourself as a whole.

Somewhere between working yourself to the ground & burning out, or giving up, is “balance”. You still have lots of demands on you, but you can learn a healthy juggle while still taking care of you.

Taking time out for yourself really helps to recharge. You might feel like you can’t afford the indulgence. But sometimes stepping back helps you to move forwards with more energy & purpose.

Creating a new habit is a process that is easy to learn and apply, once you get the hang of it. Sticking to new habits before they are truly entrenched can be harder - that’s where coaching comes in!

Habits can be hard to change. That’s what coaching is all about. Don’t expect yourself to make a change when you are stuck in patterns that you’ve been in for so long that you don’t even notice them!

If you are stuck in exercise inertia, a different approach can help you progress. Progressing your exercise goals will be more effective if you get going and turn it into a habit, no matter how small.

If you need help with your health goals, then make the change today. You could be feeling more energetic, comfortable, fit and happy only three months from now. My program will be tailored to YOU.

Staying active is different when you’re over 40 to when you were 20. Rather than try to keep up the same gruelling pace, learn how to lean into the changes in your mind & body for lasting health.

Food can empower you with both awesome fuel & great pleasure if you respect it, enjoy it, & nourish yourself with a wide variety of nutrition, keeping the treats as treats.

If it’s weak, strengthen it. If it’s tight, stretch it. If it’s stiff, move it. Make sure that it’s well nourished & adequately rested, but don’t just sit there. That old injury won’t heal itself.

Top three tips for exercise consistency: If you can’t keep up an exercise routine, take a step back & make it more simple & achievable. Create the habit first, build up the strength & fitness next.

Can you expect to get aches, pains, stubborn niggles and old injuries when you’re over 40? Yes. Do you have to put up with them? No.

Don’t wait for the “right time” to take care of your health & your self. If it all feels “too hard” right now, that’s probably the sign to NOT wait. Let me support you through the tough times.

Long term health requires the art of balance. If you aim for perfection, you’ll be disappointed, but if you give up, that’s even worse. Healthy choices consider your overall needs & preferences.

If you can sing, you're going too slow. Getting enough cardio means puffing slightly. But it doesn't have to be a killer. Make sure you remember your muscles & joints get strength & mobility work too.
