Last week I had the honour of attending The National Children & Young People awards.

My experience working with children and young people was the foundation for my journey into the wellness industry. Through this role, I developed a deep understanding of the importance of emotional wellbeing, support, and the positive impact that caring for others can have on their lives. This experience inspired me to explore new ways of supporting people’s health and wellbeing, ultimately leading me to where I am today.

Working in a role like this is rewarding, but it also comes with its own demands. It’s a reminder that looking after yourself matters, too. You can spend so much time supporting others that it’s easy to forget to make that same time for yourself.

That’s where my own little routines come in. Getting outside for walks, enjoying good food, taking time to reset and finding moments of calm amongst a busy working life. Out of the yoga leggings, into a dress and immediately back into comfies.

As we mark World Menopause Day, I’ve been thinking about how wonderfully complex women’s bodies are, and how much there is for us to learn about our hormones and how they influence the way we feel.

Although I am not yet at the menopause stage of life, women’s hormones, hormonal health and the connection between what we eat and how we feel are subjects I’m truly passionate about.

One place we can start is with the food we eat.

Throughout autumn, nature offers us so many beautiful, nourishing foods.

Eating a varied, balanced diet can help support our bodies at every stage of life. During perimenopause and menopause, paying attention to essential nutrients becomes particularly important for our changing needs. Listening to our bodies, understanding our hormones, prioritising rest and giving ourselves the same care we so readily give to others.

I believe the more we talk openly about women’s health, the more we learn from one another and the better supported we can feel. I’m always keen to learn, share knowledge and help women feel empowered to understand their bodies, whatever stage of life they’re in.

I have recently completed a mini course with CNM to support my professional development, looking at balancing female hormones. I have an ever growing interest in how we can support our wellbeing naturally through nutrition, lifestyle and the wonderful world of herbs. Even more so now that I am being investigated for endometriosis.

So I had a little look in my tea cupboard (if you know me, you know how much I love to romanticise with a hot drink!) and realised I have quite the collection. 🌿

Lemongrass, lavender, pumpkin, chai, apple, a menopause blend for clients, peppermint, Mother Cuppa… and probably a few others hiding at the back!

It got me thinking about how something as simple as a cup of herbal tea can become part of our everyday rituals.

My courses with CNM are helping me build on my existing knowledge and, most importantly, encouraging me to keep learning and looking at the evidence behind the things we use every day.

I’m definitely not claiming that a cup of tea can “fix” our hormones, but I do think there’s something lovely about becoming more aware of what we’re putting into our bodies and creating little moments of nourishment and self-care.

I’m looking forward to sharing more of what I’m learning along the way. 🫖

This month’s class theme is a reminder that we don’t always need to be doing more. Sometimes simply noticing where we are, taking a breath and listening to what our body needs is enough.

A little reminder for us all 🤎

The holidays are over, routines return, diaries begin to fill up and before we know it, we’re moving from one thing to the next.

Being out in nature reminds me that every season has its own rhythm. 🍂

As we move into Autumn, perhaps this is our little reminder that we don’t have to rush into everything at once. We can embrace the routines, the fresh starts and the busier days, whilst still making space to slow down, breathe and look after ourselves.

If you’d like to join me in my seasonal slow down, I’d love to welcome you along to one of my upcoming events;

As we move into the cosier months of the year, I’m embracing a slower pace making space for movement, nourishment, connection and a little more time to simply be.
