“I just don’t have the time.”

I hear this so often from women in midlife. And I get it. Life is full. Work, family, ageing parents, responsibilities… and somewhere in between all of that, we’re supposed to look after ourselves too.

But looking after your body doesn’t have to become another job on your to-do list.

You don’t need an hour every day.
And missing a workout doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

Move when you can. Do 20 minutes instead of 60. Walk. Lift some weights. Get on your mat. Take the stairs. And on the weeks when life takes over? Start again when you can.

Something counts. And consistency doesn’t have to mean perfection.

Especially in midlife, I want exercise to add to our lives — not become another source of pressure. 🤍

Midlife isn’t the beginning of the end — it’s the start of doing things your way. 🌿

Peri- & postmenopause can feel like your body wrote a new rulebook without telling you first. Sleep gets weird, energy dips, stress hits different. It’s a lot.

But here’s the thing: you don’t need a total life overhaul to feel like yourself again. You need small, doable shifts — a short walk, a earlier bedtime, a plate with a little more protein, a moment to breathe before the day runs away with you.

This is your one life. One body. It deserves care, not criticism.
So let’s build strength — not just in your muscles, but in your habits, your energy, your confidence. One little step at a time. 💛

👇 What are you going to focus on today?

04/09/2026

You know that feeling when the “good” option on the menu leaves you weirdly unsatisfied? So many women sit in front of a huge salad and still feel like something is missing.

Around perimenopause, your hormones start to change the way you handle food. Blood sugar swings faster, muscles break down more easily, and your body gets more protective about energy.

You clear the bowl, feel proud for a minute, and then the late‑night hunger hits even harder. Sleep is lighter, cravings creep in the next day, and the cycle quietly repeats.

If you love salad, keep it on your plate, fresh food is not the enemy. The problem starts when you try to live on leafes while your midlife body is asking for solid fuel.

The missing piece on most midlife plates is enough protein, not another low calorie side. Protein helps you keep muscle, slows how fast carbs hit your blood, and gives your brain a calmer, steadier signal.

Women who raise their protein often notice fewer crashes, steadier mood, and less of that frantic fridge grazing at night. You need about 1,5g of protein per kg/bodyweight per day - make sure you have protein with every meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner!

Picture a simple plate with chicken, roasted veg and a few potatoes, and you leave the table warm and satisfied.

Friday night feels less like a test and more like real care for a body that works hard for you.

Follow me if you want midlife food and training to finally work with your hormones, not against them.

Back in Nairobi after 10 days at the coast… and I’m struggling to adjust. 😅 The sun is finally out today, but somehow the house is STILL freezing.

Add too many hours sitting at my desk and my body is definitely feeling it. I moved every day at the coast, but this cold just makes my joints feel a little achy and stiff.

So I took myself into my Pilates studio. No clients. No class. Just me.

And as always, movement changed everything. Joints loosened up, circulation kicked in, mood lifted, head cleared — and suddenly the day felt a whole lot better.

Sometimes movement isn’t about a workout. It’s simply about feeling better in your body. 🤍

When you wished to be “hot” and menopause delivered hot flashes instead.

It is not always funny to be menopausal, but let’s not lose our humour completely and remember we’re stronger than every heat wave.

A new chapter. And it feels good to be home. 🤍

For most of the past eight years, I’ve had one foot in Kenya and one in Europe — doing what mattered most at the time: being there while my kids finished school.
Now, I’m back in Nairobi.

And with that comes a little refresh for YOUR TRAINER. A refreshed logo and plenty of ideas and projects slowly taking shape.
Some things, however, haven’t changed.
I still believe in intelligent training. In getting stronger as we get older. In Pilates, strength and movement that actually serves the body you live in. And above all, in working with people — personally.

I’m giving myself the rest of August to settle back into Nairobi life, get organised and enjoy being home.

Then, from September, YOUR TRAINER is back with:
• Private 1:1 sessions
• Duet training
• Selected small group classes
And there’s more in the making…

If you’re in Nairobi and would like to train with me, send me a DM.
Here’s to new chapters — and coming home. 🤍

New chapter, same Pilates lover. Greetings from Nairobi, where the first thing I uncovered was my Reformer.

Before the fun flows, it is actually a little work: wiping down springs, checking straps, setting everything up so my body can do its best.

Fiji has already claimed front row seats on my tummy, supervising every move and every speck of dust.
Here is to small rituals, clean gear and building a new home one workout at a time.

Follow me if you love a fresh start with a side of Pilates and puppy energy.
