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.

Comment below what troubles you the most.

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.

Suitcase by the door, tiny apartment, neighbors on every side. And it’s peak summer travel season, but you still want to move your body, not tiptoe through another lazy day.

Summer travel can make even active women feel heavy and disconnected from their bodies. And suddenly the idea of noisy jumps or burpees with paper-thin walls feels impossible.

Safe this travel- and apartment-friendly full body workout …

1. Crab walks – warm up
2. Glute bridge
3. Theraband deadlifts
4. Biceps curls
5. Lateral flys
6. Chest opener
7. Single leg stretch
8. Half side plank elbow to knee – both sides.

No jumping, no thudding, no angry downstairs neighbor hitting the ceiling with a broom. Just controlled strength, a slow burn and that quiet “I did something for me” feeling.

Throw your bands into your carry-on - you will need them!

Follow me if you want simple, travel-friendly workouts that keep you strong and moving through every season of midlife.

Menopause can feel like a whole new alter ego that shows up uninvited. Some nights, making a joke about it is the only way it feels less heavy.

It’s not just hot flashes or mood swings. It’s your body, brain and energy changing job description at the same time. And you’re standing there thinking, „Who even am I in this version of me?“

If this made you laugh, I love that; humor gives a little power back. If a part of you rolled your eyes, I get that as well. This phase can feel raw and heavy, and you still deserve a space to exhale.

I want you to know you’re not „too much“, „too emotional“ or „falling apart“. You’re moving through a big hormonal shift, and with the right support your body can feel strong again.

That shift doesn’t start with a perfect routine. It starts with understanding what your body is asking for in this season. When your training fits your hormones, your body calms down and your strength comes back.

That’s why I created this little „Friday night – meno light“ series. Sometimes the most healing thing is simply hearing „me too“.

Follow me if you want more honest, light-hearted and body-respecting support for training, movement and lifestyle through peri- and postmenopause.

The “eat less, move more” advice has been around for decades.
And yet… here you are. Still frustrated. Still stuck. Still wondering what you’re missing.

Here’s what almost no one tells women in midlife: after 40, your body changes the rules.
When estrogen declines, insulin sensitivity and muscle mass shift. That means your body responds to food, stress and exercise differently than it did in your 30s — you can “do everything right” and still not see results, because the old advice was never designed for this phase.

What actually works now?
→ Enough protein to protect and rebuild muscle
→ Meals that keep your blood sugar more stable
→ Movement that builds strength, not just burns calories

This is the approach I use with women in peri‑ and postmenopause who want results without punishing their bodies.

Tell me in the comments: how long have you been doing “all the right things” without seeing the changes you deserve?

It’s not that dinner, wine or Netflix are evil.
It’s the timing, the portion and the stimulation right before bed that quietly push deep sleep off the schedule.

And no, I’m not here to cancel your Friday joy or turn you into a nun with herbal tea.

But if every weekend starts with a sleep hangover, your „treat night“ is working against you.

So instead of a full personality makeover, here are three tiny swaps you can play with tonight or next Friday and watch what your body does with them.

1. Heavy late dinner → swap it for a lighter, sleep-friendly plate that doesn’t camp in your belly all night.
2. „One more glass…“ → trade it for a meno-friendly night drink that calms your system instead of poking it.
3. Couch + binge + endless scrolling → cap it with a 10-minute wind-down ritual that tells your brain: Show’s over, we’re safe.

Picture Saturday morning with fewer hot flashes, a clearer head and joints that don’t hate you for simply getting out of bed.

Sleep is your free hormone therapy, and Fridays are either helping it or heckling it.

Follow me if you want more meno-friendly training, sleep and lifestyle tweaks that work with your midlife body, not against it.

There’s a difference between getting older and handing your power over to a birthday. Most women hit 50 and are told to start shrinking – in their body, in their energy, in their ambitions.

It’s not really about age, it’s about the story you’ve been sold about what a woman in midlife is “allowed” to feel like. That story was written for a smaller, quieter version of you – not for the experienced, resilient woman you actually are.

Every time you say “I’m too old for that”, your nervous system listens. Your future decade listens – and quietly powers down a little more.

Yes, some days in peri- and postmenopause are genuinely hard. Hormones shift, recovery takes longer, the old fitness rules don’t work the way they used to. You’re not imagining that; but that is very different from being done.
Your power decade starts when you decide that midlife gets your best energy, not your leftovers. Strong in the morning, joints that feel supported instead of fragile, a body you trust to carry you through work, travel and the things you love.
Training shifts from “fixing” you to honoring the woman you’re becoming.

50 is not a countdown. It’s a green light – if you’re willing to claim it.

Follow me if you’re ready to rebuild strength, energy and confidence in peri- and postmenopause – and make your fifties the decade you feel most at home in your body.

13/07/2026

It’s not about touching your toes; it’s about telling your nervous system, joints and fascia every morning: you are safe to move. 🤸‍♀️

Stay with this for 30 days and little changes stack into smoother steps, less creaking and more energy before you start the day.
This sequence isn’t about replacing workouts; it’s about giving your midlife body one daily reset it can rely on.

Here’s the five-minute flow I use with my peri- and postmenopause clients – one minute each, every morning for 30 days:

1. JUMPING – wake up ankles, knees and circulation.
2. SWING – easy front-and-back swings to increase lymphatic flow.
3. ALTERNATING ARM SWINGS – cross-body reach to open your chest.
4. TORSO ROTATIONS – twist from your middle to hydrate your spine.
5. KNEELIFT & TUG – marching in place and tug the knees

And ALWAYS finish with a moment of gratitude for a body that still moves and adapts. ❤️

Follow me if you’re in peri- or postmenopause and want simple, smart movement to feel strong, mobile and at home in your body again.
