Keeping It Real

I’m a coach, a wife and a mum of two. I know “just prioritise yourself” can sound a bit different when everyone needs something before breakfast.

With 20 years in health and fitness, I bring practical coaching experience, an evidence-informed approach and a healthy scepticism of the next miracle fix. My work focuses on strength, everyday wellbeing and helping women move beyond the constant pressure to shrink.

I translate health and fitness topics into clear, relatable conversations, with warmth, humour and something readers can actually use.

WHAT I CAN BRING TO YOUR READERS

Good stories.
Strong opinions.

Available for commissioned columns, practical features and expert commentary. A few conversations I’d love to start.

01 / FOOD & DIET CULTURE

How much time are you serving in food jail?

The food rules, guilt and “I’ll start Monday” cycle that turn eating into a full-time job.

02 / STRENGTH & MIDLIFE

Does perimenopause ruin your gains?

A coaching perspective on adapting training around changing sleep, energy and recovery.

03 / WELLNESS CLAIMS

Do you need that supplement, or just a better sales filter?

Making sense of fitness fads and big promises, with curiosity, context and less hype.

04 / REAL-LIFE FITNESS

The same 24 hours as Beyoncé? Aye, right.

Why useful health advice needs to account for childcare, work, money and the life you actually have.

05 / MOVEMENT & MINDSET

Exercise isn’t the bill you pay for eating.

Moving from punishment and compensation towards strength, enjoyment and capability.

06 / CONFIDENCE & SELF-TRUST

You can’t hate yourself into a life you love.

Building confidence through realistic actions, flexible habits and promises you can keep.

A FEEL FOR MY VOICE

Less beige.
More conversation.

Straight-talking, practical and happy to question the script. Here’s a taste of Women Who Build.
