Last night in the shower I randomly started singing "I Wanna Be Like You" from The Jungle Book.

What a tune! 😊😊

Remembered I have this gem in my vinyl collection. 1975. Must have been my first album aged 3 😂

It’s very easy to get attached to what we want things to look like - relationships, business deals, teams, family. As the distance between what we WANT and what IS grows, we feel the friction and frustration.

Sometimes we need to step back and just accept what is… And let go of the hope, the fantasy and expectation.
After all, these only exist in our imagination.

The clinging on to the fantasy causes stagnation. Just like energy and blood can’t flow freely through tense muscles, the energy of life can’t move where it is highly contained by desire and want.

So sometimes letting go of what we want is the only way to move forward freely.

Let go….Trust in the bigger plan!

Busy life?
Little time to cook?

One of my clients said she felt like a Goddess after my 14 Day Cleanse. 🥰☺

Health, vitality and feeling Goddess-like doesn’t come by force, through affirmations or from a new haircut (OK, the feeling may last until bed-head).

It comes when the whole body is singing – all systems are working together, the jobs that need to happen are getting done, and energy is flowing in abundance.

So what needs to happen to achieve this state?

- Feeding the body all the nutrients it needs🥦🥑🥬🍎
- Cleaning out the 💩💩
- Hydrating it with water 💦
- Moving it 🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️🏋️‍♀️
- Breathing… properly
- Managing stress 🧘‍♀️
- Good sleep 😴

That’s why, on my 14 Day Cleanse, we don’t just focus on food. We focus on all the ingredients needed to get the whole body to sing.

If you want to create something different in 2022 then be aware of how you set your goals...🤓🤔

Most goal setting focuses on WHAT you want.
Some goal setting focuses on HOW to go about getting it.
Very little goal setting focuses on WHO you need to be to make it all happen.

Yet, WHO you need to be is THE most important part as this drives all your actions. ☝️ If you change who you are, everything else falls into place.

So WHO do you need to be?
What values do you need to embody?
How will this new version of you show up in the World?

As Gandhi said "BE the change you want..."

If improving your health or turning it around is on your list for 2022, join me for my January Cleanse starting on 15th Jan. See the link in my profile.

This year I'll be 50 😳😳

I still get mistaken for a 35 year old ☺️ (happy dance! ). And this is without the help of any botox, filler or any other procedures.

What’s my secret?

It’s simple really: I give my body what it needs to do what it knows how to do.

Your body knows how to take care of itself. It knows how to clean away dead cells and toxins, and convert nutrients into a vibrant, healthy person.

The problems occur when it’s overloaded with the bad stuff, and starved of the good. And / or your stress levels are so high that your body is continuously ready to ‘fight or flight’, rather than putting energy into regenerating you.

In my next 14 Day Cleanse I'll share my secrets and literally guide you through everything your body needs to thrive, and even heal. You’ll get 2 workshops, a Cleanse Manual, recipes, daily tips that are tailored to the needs of the group, as well as the support and accountability of that group.

People are regularly stunned by how much better they feel and look in JUST 14 days.

So if you like the idea of not only feeling better, but also looking more glowing and vibrant, join me on The Cleanse.

Many of us suffer from lots of symptoms that we think are normal or just part of ageing.

The reality is these symptoms are signs that your body isn't entirely happy and isn't getting what it needs.

So how do you figure out what's disrupting it and what it DOES need?

A Cleanse will help you wipe the slate clean and give your body a chance to reset. So when you put stuff back in that your body doesn't like, it gives you a clear signal - no confusion!

Join the 14 Day Cleanse starting Jan 15th Jan.

Includes 2 workshops, Cleanse manual, recipes and daily guidance and tips from me.

Kale, Spring greens and chard blanched and ready to drop in to whatever I cook this week.

Great way to make eating healthy easy... And save fridge space.

Also good for freezing... So no wilted greens waste ☺️🥬🥬

As I was out on a run this morning I found myself in a South London bog and with no easy escape route 😳 😱. . Whichever way I turned it was going to be messy, cold and wet.

As I jumped and hopped to find a way through, I was reminded that life rarely runs on a smooth and linear path. It's the messy parts that give you the most opportunity to get involved experience LIFE.

They're the times where we can laugh as we get cold and dirty, or cry as we get cold and dirty.

And they're the times when we can look back and say "I made it through. I grew. I learned something".

So, embrace the mess. Jump in with 2 feet. Get dirty. Play. And you might just find some magic happens on the way. ✨✨

Whilst it's not good to live in the past, sometimes it can be helpful to look backwards.

Looking back allows us to see our progess and how far we've come.

When we're driven, striving, always moving forward or focused on a goal, it's very easy to slip into the feeling of not doing enough / not being far enough on / not having made enough progress...

Looking back allows a moment to take stock and see the distance we've actually travelled. Most times it's way further than we think!

Then comes celebration!! 💪🙌✨🥂🍾😊

Talking food marketing in The 14 Day Cleanse today.

What a slippery area! I know, I started my career in it WAY BACK 😳

The essence: to be healthy you need to be a super savvy consumer. Now that the health food market is worth so much, (the organic food and drink market ALONE is worth £2b annually), there are lots of dirty tricks being played. And if you're not awake, aware and educated, it's easy to get caught out. 🤬🤬😤

We're inherently trusting of what we see on the shelves of our supermarkets. To make good choices in support of our health requires a healthy dose of scepticism and a questioning mind. 🤔

Take nothing for granted 🤓
