In 2016 I ran my first ever event – Midlife Mayhem – Reclaim Your Mojo! It was the scariest thing I think I’ve ever had to do (well almost, there was one other event in my life which took much much more courage but that’s a whole other story). The event was not for profit…
It’s really easy to put off making a decision. It’s easy to say, I’ll just think about it or maybe I’ll just wait until I’ve talked it through with my best friend, my mum, my husband or maybe a colleague. Trouble is these people are not you and they will have their own agenda, their…
When I was out walking my dog, Sherbert, as I do every morning I spotted this plant. ( Walking early is SO good for my soul – I highly recommend it as a habit to develop l!) What’s interesting is the different stages that this individual plant is in. Partly still flowering, partly sending out…
My poor little girl was poorly last week and it all started with a few spots on her tummy. At first, I thought it was just gnat bites but after she started really complaining about the pain I realized that there was more to this. I went to the chemist to get their opinion and…

The feeling of filling up from a meal is controlled by stretch receptors in the stomach and hormones. Both signal the brain it is time to stop eating. This short-term hunger alleviation is called satiation. Satiety is the ability to feel full and satisfied over the long-term. Satiation and satiety have taken a back seat…
Menopause can be one of the most disruptive and bewildering times in a woman’s life. Although the focus of much discussion regarding menopause tends to center around the lady hormones estrogen and progesterone, it would serve us well to extend our conversation to exactly what these hormones do, and what implications changes to them have…
I have been training with Lisa for 8 months. I came to her to help me resolve aching knees and ankles from playing tennis. Not only has she enabled me to improve that situation, but my fitness levels overall have improved dramatically, and I am now able to run approx 8k, something which I have never before been able to do.
Lisa is always encouraging, and thoughtful about making the workout vari
