My energy journey…

Juggling the demands of work, family and the never-ending list of life admin is hard and tiring. I know, I’m a mum with two young kids and a home and business to run. Let’s face it, when you’re tired, you don’t feel much like exercising or eating healthily. All you really want to do is collapse on the sofa and watch a box set on TV with a packet of biscuits or glass of wine (or maybe both).  If this is how you feel most days and you’re fed up with it, I want you to know that it doesn’t have to be this way.

My own journey as a stressed-out lawyer, mum of two young boys and shock breast cancer diagnosis led me on a path of wanting to feel healthy, strong and energised every day. I know what it’s like to have masses of work stress and how draining that can be. I’ve had my fair share of nights with broken sleep when my boys were very young so I know what it’s like to emerge in the morning feeling barely able to switch my brain on. I also know what it’s like to face a major health challenge and the huge physical, emotional and mental toll that it takes.

What I discovered

throughout these experiences is that the choices I made about my diet and exercise had a direct effect on how I felt and how I coped.

On the days when I chose to prop myself up with caffeine and less than healthy food, my energy levels suffered (especially in the afternoon). I quite often felt a bit overwhelmed. I didn’t sleep well because I was feeling stressed and over-caffeinated. I was tired and wired, which can be a hard cycle to break.

But on the days when I made healthy food choices and went to the gym or for a run, I felt much more energised throughout the whole day and I coped much better.

My journey from lawyer to energy coach

Before I became an energy coach, I spent 16 years working as a lawyer. I knew right from the start that being a lawyer not my calling. I knew there was something else I was meant to do, but it took me a long time to find it.During my years, as a lawyer I experienced the pressure and stress of a demanding and highly intellectual job, which I’d often struggle to switch off from. However, it was my diagnosis of breast cancer in 2014 that finally pushed me towards setting up my own business as an energy coach. You can read more about my breast cancer story here.

My journey into energy coaching began when I finally quit the law into 2016 to become a personal trainer. It was a radical change but one that made complete sense for me given my lifelong passion for fitness and healthy eating and my breast cancer experience.

Fairly soon after I started working as a PT, I knew I could help the clients I worked with in a bigger and more holistic way. I could see that so many women struggle with low energy, lack of motivation and quite often feel overwhelmed. For many of them, feeling energised, fit and healthy seems like an unachievable dream.

I knew I could help them make that dream a reality by working with them to develop healthier habits and mindset which then makes healthy choices become second nature.

I love nothing more than a client getting in touch months after we’ve worked together to say that she is still putting into practice the healthy habits we talked about during her sessions and she’s feeling energised and on top of things, even when life is extremely busy!
