And this is why we do what we do! I got this message last night and it made me beam! Being an inclusive, safe space will always be my why, regardless if you’re 6 or 66! Belonging, inclusion and feeling safe is something we should all get! Bloody love my job and love it when parents let me know we’re doing ok.

Our Annual Menopause Event is Back… and we need YOUR help!

We’re planning this year’s FREE Menopause Event (thanks to funding from Gentoo ), and we want to make sure it’s exactly what you want.

One thing’s staying…

Strength training is non-negotiable. Because getting stronger changes lives.

But what else would you love to see?

✨ Nutrition
✨ Pelvic floor health
✨ Yoga
✨ Sound bath
✨ Sleep & recovery
✨ HRT & symptom management
✨ Confidence & body image
✨ Something completely different?

What questions have you always wanted answered? What support do you wish you’d had?

Pop your ideas in the comments or send us a message. Let’s build an event that’s practical, supportive, empowering… and one you’ll genuinely leave feeling stronger from.

This event is for you, so let’s create it together.

Today I had the privilege of being part of the panel of “experts” at the North East BIC Growth Lab, talking all things female entrepreneurship.

The room was full of incredible women sharing their stories, challenges, successes and opportunities. Every single one brought something different, but there was one thing we all had in common, an absolute determination to create change and do business our own way.

I genuinely love being part of a community of strong, supportive women who aren’t waiting for permission. They’re backing each other, breaking down barriers and rewriting the rule book.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and shared the conversation. And, as always, I couldn’t have done it without my all-round support guru, Michelle Booth. Having people in your corner who champion your ideas and challenge your thinking is invaluable.

Here’s to building businesses that make a difference, and to the amazing women leading the way. Great to meet everyone and looking forward to the collaborations coming up

The matting has arrived!!! Not long now until the new community space will be ready!! Big things coming to southwick
