Well this was a little bit hard to write as every picture tells a story. I look back on this woman with so much love. Every twist and turn has taught me a very valuable lesson, without them I wouldn’t be where I am now. I could have carried on just doing the surface level stuff but I chose to dive deeper and that is where I found her. She was there all along she’d just got swept along by the crowd.

If you want to make the big changes you’ve got to start from within and be so honest with yourself it scares you. But in that fear of the unknown is the secret to a happy healthy life that shines brightly. Question is are you brave enough?✨✨

Things I’m doing at 54 that I wasn’t doing at 34 or even 44 to be happy and healthy.

🖤 Listening to my body

🖤 Realising I am not a machine. I am human and have good and bad days

🖤 Finally saying no and having boundaries

🖤 Healing my nervous system after years of living in fight or flight mode

🖤 Strength training x3/4 a week

🖤 Cardio of some sort

🖤 Realising quite early into perimenopause that alcohol and sugar weren’t my friend and adjusted my nutrition which I still do regularly as I age. Carbs are lower these days it just works better for my body

🖤 Enjoying my life and feeling grateful

I think the biggest mistake you can make is to try to go back to methods that worked in your 20s, 30s and even 40s. Learn to adjust and respect where your body is and what it’s trying to tell you.

Over the coming months I will be making some adjustments to the business. After 13 years I feel it’s time to close the beauty side of the business at the end of November this year, I want to thank you for all the support you have given me over the years. This feels very strange as beauty is where it all began for me, but with a lot of change in my life now feels like the right time plus continuous price increases have not helped.

Kempt Lifestyle from the end of November will purely be about strength training. Thank you again for visiting the salon over the years ❤️🙏🏻

Today I presented my third Strength & Restore retreat at Ockenden Manor. If you’d told me a couple of years ago I’d be creating and presenting a retreat about strength training I wouldn’t have believed you. I didn’t see myself being able to do things like this but I’m glad I didn’t listen to the voices in my head and made a pact with myself to say yes to opportunities that came my way and put myself forward for things that were out of my comfort zone. Life is about growing and challenging yourself resulting in me having the time of my life! What’s next?
