My top 10 tips for holistic wellbeing

1. Incorporate Pilates into your routine – its magic!!

Pilates strengthens the core, improves flexibility/mobility, and is great for overall body awareness. Aim for at least two to three sessions per week

2. Prioritise daily movement/move naturally

Regular physical activity boosts cardiovascular health, improves mood, and increases energy levels. Try ealking everyday and/or a short 10-minute Pilates session.

3. Incorporate x 2-3 strength training sessions with weights 

Strength training builds muscle, improves bone density, and boosts metabolism. Focus on major muscle groups with exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and rows.

4. Start Your Day with Meditation/Gratitude/Journalling

5-10 minutes each morning of mindfulness or gratitude practice can set a calm tone for the day and help with your self love and compassion towards yourself.  

5. Create a morning/evening routine

A structured morning routine sets you up for the day ahead! It can help increase your productivity, help clear the head, move your body.

Some ideas to try include:

Waking up when the sun rises, drinking a big glass of warm water, tongue scraping, light stretching or yoga, getting outside/grounding, eating some nourishing food (ideally high protein to break the 12 hr fast), cold shower.

A calming evening routine can improve sleep hugely and help the body unwind. Avoid screens an hour before bed, do some gentle stretching, have a warm bath with Epsom salts, practice some breathwork, or read a book.

6. Practice breathing exercises

 Find moments in your day to include some kind of breathing exercises.

 Try techniques like nasal breathing when walking, big belly breaths in the bath, or the 4-7-8 method (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8).

7. Nourish your body with whole foods

 Eating whole, unprocessed foods for me is so important – it provides essential nutrients, supports overall health, and helps boost energy levels. (and good for skin too!).

Focus on a diet rich in SEASONAL fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. Try to cook from scratch whenever possible to avoid added sugars and preservatives.

8. Supplements

Make sure you find the right supplements for YOU! Do a blood test to see where you need to supplement. Everyone is different!

9. Connect with nature daily

Spending time in nature is my therapy but it can also help reduces stress, improves mood, and help with our mental well-being. The earth's electromagnetic field can also help balance our own -  grounding (walking barefoot on natural surfaces), gardening, or daily walks in a natural setting.

10. LOVE deeply, LAUGH, LIVE, BE NOW!
