The decorations are all packed away for another year and the weather has turned chilly but at least, for now, it has stopped raining!!!

For many, the new year hails the chance to start new habits and commit to something new or different. If this is you, and it involves a healthier lifestyle, or looking after yourself better going forward, well done for prioritizing yourself!

As always, Luan is super busy at this time of year, and has added extra appointment availability to her diary to ensure everyone gets seen.

Extra Personal Training slots are available on Wednesdays for the whole of the month - mornings Luan is mobile around the Kidderminster area if you would like to train at home, afternoons and evenings, there is limited availability at Flexible Fitness Wellbeing gym in Kidderminster (no membership needed).

For mobile massage, Luan still has availability for the following days/times:
Monday 15th January - lunchtime
Wednesday 17th January - 10.30am to 1.30pm
Tuesday 23rd January - morning
Friday 26th January - morning
Monday 29th January - lunchtime
Tuesday 30th January - morning
Wednesday 31st January - 10.30am to 1.30pm.

Why not try a warming Hot Stones Deep Tissue Massage to help soothe away those winter blues?

Message Luan on 077 292 88318 to book or discuss your needs further.

Luan finishes for Christmas this afternoon (until 8th January) so would like to take this opportunity to wish all her clientele, their family and friends a very merry Christmas and a happy, fit and healthy New Year. See you in 2024!

Thinking that 2024 might be the time to try out your running shoes? Want to give it a go but not sure where to start? Luan will be arranging small Couch to 5km Groups in the New Year for anyone that would like to give it a go!!

This is the perfect opportunity to try out running in a friendly, low key, and easily accomplished manner. Perfect for anyone new to running , returning after a break or just wanting a bit of steady easy company through the cold dark winter months. This will be a bespoke course, tailored specifically to the needs of the individual group members not some generic course that’s designed to be a ‘one size fits all’ solution. Each week’s sessions will be adapted to progress the group as quickly but safely as possible.

Interested? If so, please either post on here, or message Luan direct on 077 292 88318, with days/times you would be able to do this and we'll see if we can make it happen! NB due to family commitments, with the exception of a possible weekend ‘Graduation Run’ at the end of the course, this will be weekdays only so please don't ask for weekends.

Cost of the course is £25 per person for the whole programme (between 9 and 12 weeks depending on the ability of the group members) with 1 or 2 coached runs per week plus homework in between and a dedicated Facebook group or WhatsApp Group to encourage and inspire.

What are you waiting for? It’s time to be more, do more in 2024!

Right folks. The new year is fast approaching and I'm finalising my diary for January! I'm trying to see if it will be worthwhile squeezing a Couch to 5km Group into my schedule! I'm thinking £25 per person for the whole programme with 1 or 2 coached runs per week plus homework in between and a dedicated Facebook group to encourage and inspire. This is the perfect opportunity to try out running in a friendly, low key, and easily accomplished manner. Perfect for anyone new to running , returning after a break or just wanting a bit of steady easy company through the cold dark winter months. Any interest? If so, please either post on here, or message me direct with days/times you would be able to do this and we'll see if we can make it happen! NB due to family commitments, this will be weekdays only so please don't ask for weekends.

Ok folks! It’s that time of year when I’m looking for my Christmas/New Year read/listen!! What books have entertained, uplifted or inspired you this year? Your recommendations please!!!

Facebook Family!!! I need your help!!

Ellie is now in year 10 at school (already!!!) and we are seeking a work experience placement for her for week commencing Monday 1st July 2024.

She is extremely hard working and talented (yes, I know, but that's not just my mum-goggles speaking!!) and potentially seeking a career in product design and marketing. Does anyone work within this field local to Stourport on Severn, or know someone who does, who I may approach to try to secure Ellie some valuable work experience?

I'd be immensely grateful for any leads!

Luan shares a few tips for improved mental wellbeing

Let's Talk Mental Health Yes it's World Mental Health Day, but it's time to make every day about mental health!

Luan considers how best to manage a return from an enforced lay-off.

Motivation, Incentives and Metrics after an Enforced Break Building fitness is hard! Really hard! But it is so rewarding when you find yourself physically fitter and stronger than you were yesterday, last month, last year, ever.... The flip side of that is how demoralizing it can be to lose fitness, and how frustratingly slow progress can feel when you can....

The next instalment of Luan’s recovery chronicles:

Run Nemo Run! 17th May 2023 - the day I started Couch to 5km to kickstart my return to running. I made a run date with my best friend (and her toddler in the buggy!) and we run/walked our way around one and three quarter miles of local streets. Whilst it felt great to be back, the running was tough! I was heavy,....

Luan has taken time out from her main recovery chronicles to reflect once again upon body image...

Fixing My Head #01 I'm taking a quick break from my main recovery diaries today to talk a little about the amazing thing I did yesterday! It's been a very long time coming because I have really struggled to ever feel like I was ready to do it... but yesterday I did, and I am so happy with the outcome! Yesterday, I got...

Check out the second instalment of Luan's Recovery Chronicles:

Unbreaking Nemo! My operation took place on 22nd February. Everything went well and the surgeon was able to remove Freddie laparoscopically, despite him being attached to my bowel in 2 places. I woke from the surgery feeling remarkably well, and was able to go home the day after. My tummy was extremely sore (no surp...

How very true! It is very easy to get so wrapped up in what others are doing, thinking and feeling, and what is going on around us, that we allow our own happiness to be defined by those external factors. Happiness is a home-made thing of beauty, not something to be bought or borrowed from others …

This weekend, start creating your own moments of happiness and welcome more joy into your life.

Have a fab weekend all (I’m going to!!)

Love and Happiness

It's been a while since Luan last did a Blog post, and here's the background to why!

Broken Nemo! I cannot believe it has been 2 years since I wrote my last blog post! They aren't wrong when they say that time goes by more quickly the older you get!
