    Pelvic Floor Healing

    This week we’re diving deep into the power and wisdom of the pelvic floor — and how reconnecting with this often-neglected part of ourselves can unlock healing, pleasure, and even fertility. Whether you’re recovering from trauma, dealing with symptoms like pelvic pain or leaking, or simply wanting to feel more grounded in your body, this episode is for you. We’ll talk about: * What the pelvic floor really is (and why strength isn’t everything) * Signs that your pelvic floor may be holding tension or out of alignment * How chronic stress, trauma, and posture affect pelvic health * Gentle ways to reconnect — including breathwork, awareness, and relaxation * The link between pelvic health and hormonal balance, mood, and fertility I’ll also be sharing a couple of beautiful client stories — including one about a woman who had been struggling to conceive for years, until pelvic realignment and emotional release helped her body feel safe enough to welcome in new life. Your body is wise. You don’t have to fight it — you just need to come home to it 💛 You can check out my services here. This is a public episode.

    The New Endometriosis Pill – What You Need to Know

    In this episode, I dive into the recent announcement about the UK’s new endometriosis pill, Ryeqo — what it is, how it works, and why I have mixed feelings about it. While this new treatment offers some benefits, it’s still just another way of managing symptoms rather than truly addressing the root cause. I also share my thoughts on why this approach can feel frustrating — and why so many women are still searching for deeper, long-term solutions. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to try next, I’m here to help. At the end of this episode, I invite you to join my free webinar where I’ll explore natural approaches to endometriosis management, pain relief strategies, and hormone-balancing tips that work with your body — not against it. 💫 Tune in now and let’s find a better way forward together This is a public episode.

    Why I’m Sick of Hearing “Self-Care is Non-Negotiable”

    We hear it everywhere: "Self-care is non-negotiable!" But what if that phrase actually makes self-care feel even more impossible? In this episode, I dive into why this kind of messaging can trigger guilt, overwhelm, and even fear—especially for women juggling endless responsibilities or recovering from trauma. We’ll explore:✨ Why rigid self-care rules can feel like another thing on your to-do list ✨ How past trauma affects our ability to put ourselves first ✨ The real reasons it takes women weeks (or months!) to book an appointments that will make them feel good ✨ Why healing doesn’t fit into a neat little box—and why that’s okay ✨ How perfectionism and fear of failure hold us back from real self-care If you’ve ever struggled to “just make time for yourself,” this episode is here to reassure you that you’re not failing—your brain is protecting you. Healing is messy, and that’s normal. 💛 Plus, I’ll share gentle ways to start prioritising yourself without pressure or guilt. This is a public episode.

  7. Learning to Live with Endometriosis

    2 FÉVR.

    Learning to Live with Endometriosis

    This week, we’re having a real and honest conversation about what it actually means to live with endometriosis. Because let’s be clear—managing endo (and working with me) isn’t about finding a magic cure. It’s about understanding your symptoms, recognising what triggers them, and building the confidence to manage them in a way that works for you. I’ll be sharing the journey of a lovely client who’s just finished her programme with me. Her pain has reduced, her anxiety has eased, and her cycle is healthier than it’s ever been. But has her endo gone? No. And that’s the important thing—because learning to live with a chronic condition isn’t about eliminating it, but about reclaiming control. We’ll cover three key things:🔹 Endo is chronic. No doctor, no treatment—natural or medical—can guarantee it will disappear forever. What we can do is build a strong foundation for better, healthier days.🔹 We are human. Some days we stick to the plan, other days we eat the pizza and deal with the bloating later. But stress and anxiety play a huge role in how we experience symptoms, and I’ll talk about breaking free from the symptom/trigger cycle.🔹 Healing isn’t linear. Even when you have everything “figured out,” life happens. Triggers happen. Some days you’ll feel amazing, others you’ll struggle. And that’s OK. The key is learning how to pick yourself up gently and keep moving forward. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at managing your endo, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about why that’s simply not true, and how you can build confidence in looking after yourself—no perfection required. 💛 This is a public episode.
