Session 1: Review – Recording Your Current Levels of Health and Fitness
Description: Before you can move forward, you need to understand where you are now. In this session, we’ll take a deep dive into your current health and fitness levels. We’ll measure what matters to YOU: strength, flexibility, endurance, energy, and more. This isn’t about judgement; it’s about clarity.
What You’ll Gain:
- A baseline to track your progress.
- Insight into what’s working and where there’s room to grow.
- A clear understanding of your starting point.
Why It Matters: Knowing where you’re starting is essential for setting meaningful, achievable goals. This session sets the foundation for your transformation.
Session 2: Future Self – Visualizing Where You Want to Be
Description: Picture yourself in December 2025. Who is the best version of you? What does she look like, feel like, and achieve? In this session, we’ll create a compelling vision of your future self and break it down into smaller, actionable goals. This is about dreaming big and then turning those dreams into steps you can start today.
What You’ll Gain:
- A vivid vision of your future self to keep you inspired.
- The ability to reverse-engineer your dream life into practical goals.
- The first steps to achieving long-term change.
Why It Matters: When you know where you’re going, it’s easier to stay on track and make choices that align with your goals.
Session 3: Your Why – Discovering the Motivation Behind Your Goals
Description: Why do you want to improve your health and fitness? The deeper your motivation, the stronger your commitment will be. In this session, we’ll uncover your personal “why” and learn how to use it as fuel to keep going, even when the journey gets tough.
What You’ll Gain:
- Clarity on the deeper reasons behind your goals.
- Tools to stay motivated and overcome obstacles.
- A personal mantra to remind you why you started.
Why It Matters: Motivation can fade, but when you’re connected to your “why,” you’re more likely to stick to your goals and succeed.
Session 4: Be Specific – Committing to Clear, Actionable Goals
Description: Goals like “get fit” or “lose weight” are too vague to be useful. In this session, we’ll refine your goals into specific, actionable steps that fit your lifestyle. We’ll create a personalized plan you can stick to and celebrate every small win along the way.
What You’ll Gain:
- Crystal-clear goals that are realistic and measurable.

How to Balance Hunger, Energy, and Cravings for Better Metabolic Health
Have you ever felt like your body is trying to send you signals, but you’re just not sure what they mean? That’s where the H.E.C. method comes in. H.E.C. stands for Hunger, Energy, and Cravings – three powerful biofeedback clues that help you tune into your body and achieve metabolic balance.
When your H.E.C. is “in check,” it means your body is functioning well, and you’re likely feeling balanced. So how can you work towards keeping your hunger and cravings under 5 (on a scale from 1 to 10) and your energy above 6? Let’s break it down.

Pilates vs Yoga?
If I had a pound every time someone asked me that very question…….
Pilates vs Yoga
How old are they?
Pilates has been around since the 1920’s, devised by Joseph Pilates as a rehab sequence of exercises designed especially for the soldiers.
The development of yoga can be traced back to over 5,000 years ago, but some researchers think that yoga may be up to 10,000 years old.
Posture and Alignment
Both practices have posture and alignment as a main focus, however, at a Pilates class you will align your body and then move through this alignment, very rarely do we hold a pose or position. In yoga styles like vinyasa and sun salutations do move continuously with the breath but others the posture maybe held for longer such as yin, which could be up to about 4-5 minutes.
Rehabilitation
Pilates is used more for physical rehab, say after an injury or operation and can certainly strengthen and lengthen the body. Yoga is used more for mental and emotional rehab, it focuses more on the board muscles groups and there is more emphasis on balance and meditation.
Breathing
Again both practices use the breath. Yoga focuses on breathing within the poses in a meditative way, whereas in pilates the breath is used to help you move through the exercises to ensure the deep core muscles are recruited.
Equipment
Yoga uses small pieces of equipment, such as traps and blocks to help adapt certain postures.
Pilates however, uses small equipment to intensify the movements and give vital feedback to the user on which of the core muscles are more contracted than others. There are also large pieces of equipment called, reformers, cadillacs, barrels and arcs which can further enhance your Pilates experience.
Mind and Body
Both practices work towards connecting the mind to the body. Pilates is more just mind and body awareness, whereas Yoga adds in the spiritual side also.
Strength and Flexibility
Yoga is well known for it’s ability to get your body into postures you didn’t think it could get into, and therefore gives you strength through length. Pilates also gives you strength, but more through movements from building core strength and aligning the limbs correctly in order to make your whole body stronger. Through these movements you will also gain flexibility.
Pilates has become increasingly popular, indeed GP’s and Physios are now recommending it to patients. Yoga is also being mentioned by doctors as a great way to lower your stress levels and calm your nervous system.
In summary, both practices have similar benefits, similar goals and outcomes. I personally believe you should have a go at both. Both give you a chance to go on a mini personal journey of your mind and body. Every session you will find out more about your joints, muscles, mindset, emotions, limiting beliefs and endurance levels. They are both fantastic ways to explore yourself,
with no judgement,
no comparison to others,
just you,
your body and mind for 60 minutes of bliss.
I highly recommend both Pilates and Yoga, I am now a Yin Yoga teacher and you will be sure to know that all my classes are centered around making you feel, stronger, calmer, less stiff and will walk out of the class feeling you can move freer and with more ease.

Why walking is as good as jogging for the 50+ Woman?
Many of my ladies, including me, have joint issues which will no longer allow them to jog or run for their fitness. I used to run the Race for Life 5km charity race for years and regularly attended park run, but now I have osteoarthritis in both knees this form of exercise is not longer available to me. So, now I just walk, around 10,000 steps a day. Here are 6 reasons why that is as good, or maybe even better than running.
