"She helped put my body back together.”

I absolutely love this (& my client!). 💛

I’ve taught Pilates for 8 years now, and one of the things I love most about it is being able to adapt it to what our bodies need.

Life changes.
Our bodies change.
We go through perimenopause and menopause.
We get injured.
We have operations.
We have times when we feel strong and times when we need a little more support.

And our movement needs to change with us.

That’s always been at the heart of how I teach.

I want the women who come to my classes to feel stronger and more confident in their bodies, but also to know that they’re being taught by someone who understands the changes their bodies are going through.

Which is why hearing these words from one of my amazing clients means so much. 😍

And the timing is rather perfect because I have a new Positive Change Pilates class starting this week in Welwyn.

Pilates, strength and functional movement, designed specifically for women in midlife.

If you’d like to join us, send me a message and I’ll send you the details.

Nobody hits perimenopause hoping to become a hormone expert, nutritionist and sleep specialist.

And yet here we are 😬

Googling symptoms. Trying supplements. Tweaking our diets. Wondering whether we should exercise more, exercise less, eat more protein, drink less coffee…

It’s exhausting.

And if you’ve ever wondered why you’re trying so hard and still don’t feel better, it’s not because you’re doing perimenopause wrong.

You were never supposed to know how to do all of this.

There is a simpler way: stop trying to tackle every symptom separately and start looking at the bigger picture — nutrition, sleep, movement, stress and recovery.

Want somewhere simple to start?

Well, this is rather exciting…

Joanna M Wellness has been chosen as one of The Nation’s Favourite 100 Small Businesses!

And I’m genuinely a little bit chuffed. 💛

When you run a small business, so much of what you do happens behind the scenes.

The ideas, the learning, the late nights, the things that don’t work, the starting again… and the constant belief that what you’re creating can make a difference to someone.

What started with my own experience of perimenopause has grown into a business that allows me to help other women understand what’s happening in their bodies, feel stronger, have more energy and get back to enjoying their lives.

So to have Joanna M Wellness recognised as one of 100 small businesses from across the country feels pretty special.

Thank you to every woman who has trusted me, worked with me, come to a class, joined my community, shared a post or recommended me to a friend.

You’re a huge part of why I get to do what I do. 💛

And apparently… we’re one of the nation’s favourites!

How amazing is that?! (pinch me😍)

When “What’s for dinner?” is enough to tip you over the edge.

It's not really about dinner.

It's that you genuinely don't think you can cope with one more person asking you for one more thing.

One more question.
One more decision.
One more “Mum, have you…?”
One more thing that's somehow yours to sort out.

Because by 5pm, you're done.

And this is the bit about perimenopause exhaustion we don't talk about enough.

It isn't just feeling tired.

It's having so little left at the end of the day that you start saying no to the things you actually want to do.

The walk. Dinner with friends. Going out with your partner.

And slowly, exhaustion starts affecting how much of your life you actually get to enjoy.

If this feels very familiar, come and join me for my free masterclass:

Get Your Energy Back:
Why You're Exhausted in Perimenopause (Even When You're Doing Everything Right)

8th September at 1pm.

Comment ENERGY and I'll send you the details. 💛

The irony of talking about getting your energy back while completely exhausting myself before 7am isn't lost on me 😂

But today was such a good reminder that we don't always notice just how much we're asking of ourselves.

The early mornings.
The broken sleep.
The running around after everyone else.
The mental load.
The never-ending list of things that “just need doing.”

We just get on with it.

And in perimenopause, when your body is already dealing with crazy hormones and all the changes that come with them, that load can start to feel very different.

Which is why getting your energy back isn't necessarily about trying harder or adding another thing to your list.

Sometimes the first step is understanding why you're so exhausted in the first place.

And that's exactly what I'm going to be talking about in my new free masterclass:

Get Your Energy Back
Why You're Exhausted in Perimenopause (Even When You're Doing Everything Right)

📅 8th September at 1pm

If you've been wondering where your energy has gone — and what you can actually do about it — this is for you.

So… what are you doing when you’re wide awake at 3am?

▫️Trying desperately to get back to sleep
▫️Reaching for your phone
▫️Mentally reorganising your entire life
▫️Getting up for a wee
▫️Lying there getting increasingly annoyed

Or maybe you have your own 3am routine?

Magnesium for sleep.

B vitamins for energy.

Something for the hot flushes.

Something else for the anxiety.

Before you know it, you've got a cupboard full of supplements...

and you're still exhausted.

I'm not saying supplements don't have a place. They do.

But here's where I think we're getting it wrong.

We keep trying to fix each symptom as though it's a separate problem.

Can't sleep? Take this.

No energy? Try that.

Feeling anxious? Add something else.

But the problem is that we're trying to fix them one by one.

You can't solve a whole-body problem one symptom at a time.

So instead of asking "What else can I take?"

Ask "What's actually going on underneath all these symptoms?"
