Fitness Mama

Your health and fitness is multidimensional- physically, mentally, spiritually. Let's explore! At the tender age of eighteen, I became a single mum.

I'm a mum of two, a Personal Trainer, a Fitness Professional, Mindset Coach and Educator

Life hasn't always been easy. I struggled with my health, my energy, my weight, my self esteem, poverty and the ability to love my self. Life is very different now. I have the privilege of helping others find fulfillment in their own personal walks, to realise their true potential and take hold of a life designed to be strong, healthy, and full, in every area. Regardless of where you've come from, or the setbacks you've experienced along the way... we thrive in connection. Nobody has it all together, life is a journey of exploration. But by watching, learning and following in the footsteps of those that have inspired and mentored me, I now know that nothing is impossible, and happiness really is a choice.

Cannes 2026 💕💕💕

Alcohol is often treated as harmless because it’s socially accepted, but for some people it can make things noticeably harder.

If you struggle with anxiety or low mood, alcohol may be worth looking at very honestly. It’s a depressant, and although it can feel relaxing in the moment, it can worsen sleep, mood and anxiety afterwards.

And if you have ADHD, the relationship can be especially complicated. ADHD is linked with differences in dopamine and reward processing, which can make anything that gives a quick hit of stimulation or relief feel particularly appealing. Alcohol can become part of that cycle very easily.

This isn’t about judgment or saying everyone must be teetotal. It’s about asking a better question: is alcohol actually helping the brain and body you have, or is it quietly making things harder?

Sometimes the most empowering thing you can do is remove the noise long enough to see how you really feel.

I generally coach women between the ages of 35-65. On a daily basis I get to observe how different behaviour and patterns affect women in this age category. I personally do not ask my clients to stop drinking. I do, however, gently remind them that we are not small men, neither are we in our 20’s anymore. Our body’s now give us many more clue as to how they want to be treated… we just mostly ignore them.

Hormone imbalance, inflammation, repetitive injury, body aches, insomnia, fat that won’t shift even if you’re doing ‘all the right things’, anxiety, no s*x drive, depression… this is all information.

Information is power. One life. Could you do better?

Just wanted to share the 6-month progress of one of my online clients.

She’s based in the UK, a single mum in her 40s, and this is what consistency can look like.

There is a science to body recomposition. It doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t require perfection. It requires doing the right things consistently.

It’s not about skipping breakfast, starving yourself throughout the day, or chasing quick fixes. Yes, the scale may move, but weight loss and improving body composition are not always the same thing.

It comes down to discipline, consistency, proper nutrition and the right training approach.

It also doesn’t have to be expensive or exhausting. She works with me entirely online, and she’s not spending hours doing endless cardio or brutal workouts.

For women over 40 especially, the approach matters. Strength, recovery, nutrition and sustainability all matter.

I’m sharing this because there is so much noise out there around fat loss, training and what women “should” be doing.

Keep it simple. Do the right things consistently.

Your health is your wealth. ❤️

Happiest birthday to my forever baby… big 15 ❤️

I’m not allowed to post her - on the occasions I have, I’ve been put in time-out for months 😂 - so this photo from a few years ago in Mykonos will have to suffice.
I’m not making it about me, honest! Just trying to celebrate her whilst honouring her wishes.

I remember this moment so clearly. It was her birthday then too, and she was questioning me about something profound, as usual.

She’s the smartie-pants. She knows social media is not her friend. In fact, she has been one of my greatest teachers.

Whilst we’ve all rushed around trying to navigate the crazy decade we’ve had as a family, she has quietly dealt with struggles of her own - and there have been many - like a true warrior.

When she was being bullied, she didn’t feel sorry for herself. She made a plan: get the grades, get into the top school and get as far away from the bullies as possible.

And she did exactly that.

In many ways she’s had to sit in the shadows while our family navigated some serious storms, yet when I look back, I always find evidence of her joyful, hopeful heart.
She’s strong-headed, has a fierce moral compass and doesn’t simply follow the crowd. She thinks critically, asks questions and makes up her own mind. She even challenges me on my ethics - currently my use of AI is under close scrutiny 😂

This is my first birthday without her. She’s celebrating with her sister in Scotland and, for a moment, that inner 17-year-old mama wondered who she was without her kids.

Then I reminded myself: I am a very blessed woman.

Dea Daniella. ❤️
Dea - goddess.
Daniella - only God is my judge.

Even your name feels like you.

Keep questioning. Keep thinking. Keep choosing your own path. Keep that beautiful moral compass pointing you home.

Most of all, protect that joyful, hopeful heart.
Happy 15th, my darling Dea Daniella.

May you always know who you are, even when the world gets loud. ❤️

Mama ❤️

You want to look like a goddess overnight?

Cute. But that’s not how this works.

Chronically low calories? Hello low bone density, low s*x drive, worse perimenopausal symptoms, flat energy and skin that loses its bounce.

Too much of the wrong exercise? Same story.

I’m on the cusp of 47 and I still feel vital, strong and s*xy - and after nearly 3 decades coaching women, I can tell you the thing that actually works:

A consistently healthy lifestyle.

A Mediterranean-style diet has been linked with better health outcomes through peri and menopause.

Strength training protects muscle and bone.

Enough food supports hormones, energy and recovery.

And HRT? It can be incredibly helpful, but it does not replace the lifestyle habits that protect you from osteoporosis, loss of muscle and the diseases that become more common as we age.

The pattern is simple:

Fads are quick.
Results are built through consistency.

You cannot starve, punish or biohack your way into long-term vitality.

You build it.

With food that nourishes you.
Training that preserves muscle.
Movement that supports your bones.
Habits that protect your hormones, skin, energy and confidence.

That’s what I teach.

Not an expensive quick fix.

An affordable, sustainable, forever solution.

And actually?

That is s*xy.

Starts Wednesday 2nd September.

Options from £30–£95 for the month.

Give me a shout if you’re in ❤️

I know the word God can send some people into a religious hot flash - especially here in NI, where religion has, for many, been tangled up with control, shame and hurt.

But I want to bring the word back into my own vocabulary.

Because Father God has been my sustainer.

Not through religion as performance. Not through outsourcing my power, responsibility or healing. But through a deeply personal relationship with the Divine - one I’ve found again and again through discipline, ritual, prayer, movement, breath, training, reflection and showing up when life was anything but easy.

Those practices have given me something I spent much of my life searching for outside myself: safety, strength, wholeness and a deep internal confidence.

People sometimes ask me where that confidence comes from.

It didn’t arrive because life was kind to me.

It was built.

And I believe it was held by God while I built it.

I don’t believe abundance comes from endlessly outsourcing our wellbeing - waiting for another person, another relationship, another qualification, another body, another circumstance to finally make us feel whole.

I believe so much of it comes from insourcing.

Learning how to create steadiness inside your own body.
How to generate joy rather than chase it.
How to meet discomfort without abandoning yourself.
How to strengthen the body without punishing it.
How to become quiet enough to hear what your soul has been trying to tell you.

That has become my life’s work.

And this September, alongside Ken, Lindsay and our incredible YogaFit Retreats ~ All-inclusive Wellness Festival family, we return to Greece for the fourth time to share exactly that.

Not an escape from your life.

A return to yourself.

Come and learn how to insource your joy.
