The motivation I needed to get my head back into the instagame after a glorious 4 weeks off!

There is so much to b*tch and moan about insta for…but v grateful to be reminded of the goodness that can come from it too 💞 I’ve worked with clients from all over the world who have connected with me through insta plus countless more who follow me here or on SUNDAY SKIN and I’ll often get messages of thanks for the education I share or the resources they’ve downloaded for free and the impact they’ve had on their health and skin. That’s pretty cool and something I can get excited about 😎 🥰

I’ve never met this lovely woman, but she’s a fellow colleague who was pulling her hair out over what to try next for her skin….a message that often lands in my DM’s…

Often I will need a bit more info than what can be covered in a insta DM to effectively understand what the skin needs and how best to go about it, but with perioral dermatitis my no 1 strategy is pretty fail proof and has helped countless people…pretty much all through DM’s 😂

Can you guess what it is??

ONLINE WORKSHOP 💻 🌎
TUESDAY 9TH JULY 1-2PM BST 📔 ✔️

Did you know that according to the Five Elements (a powerful holistic health model included in Traditional Chinese Medicine) the Skin is related to the Metal Element and the organ of the Lungs which is directly connected to our Self Worth?

This is an insight into the energetic body that will be further explored in my upcoming workshop with Sarah .

I have asked Sarah to present this powerful wisdom into the skin as I know just how valuable it will be for so many of you struggling with niggling skin conditions; whether this be redness, irritation, the odd breakout, eczema, rosacea or acne. Sarah has been a huge inspiration and guide in my own skin health journey and I can’t wait to share these insights with you, they have honestly been life changing for me.

This workshop is the first in my new MIND-BODY-SKIN series designed to give you an alternative insight into what might be feeding into your skin health and empower you with practical tools to balance your mind, body and skin from within.

I really hope you can join us.

Comment WORTH and I’ll send you the link with more info and to book.

What an end to the week, a Friday morning smear test…something I personally feel super excited about as a form of preventative healthcare, and grateful that this is something still offered to me from the NHS - thank you!

Regular smear tests are so so valuable, they should be carried out every 3 years so please go book yours today if it’s been a while…. 😘

And now off to , looking forward to catching up with colleagues and being the first time hear about new protocols, treatments, tests and more in the world of integrated medicine and of course to share with all you lovely folk here and in clinic

💓

I wanted to post this to share that there is a far less sexy side of self care and that is the change in mindset that’s needed to start prioritising your cup a little more.

These changes could easily have been instructed to me, in fact I know they have been by many wonderful practitioners I’ve had the joy of working with over the years and continue to do so 😘😘 thank you if you are reading this ❤️❤️

But I find the most powerful lessons we make in looking after ourselves and prioritising our health come from ourselves…and sometimes quite frankly this can take years!

A client today shared how overwhelming it feels to think about having to focus on her health forever. I totally understood where she was coming from! But I also got to share how if you get the right support it honestly can stop feeling like a job on a to do list, and just like what you need to do to feel like you 💓

what do you think?

Breakfast inspo…… >>>

Same same but different 🤗

Consistency is key 👍🏻

I have not always eaten breakfast 🫣 it is a recent habit in the last 3 years to ensure I eat in first 2 hours of waking. I’ve found this is what works for me, my body, my hormones, genetics and lifestyle. 👌🏻

Honestly don’t know why it took my 34 years to start this habit 😳, I’m a seriously unhinged woman without brekkie….

How about you? What health habits are you still putting off?? 🫣

As you can see eggs are a firm fave as they provide so much nutrition for brain and hormone health…. I see so many clients coming to me having avoided eggs for fear of breakouts…. 🙄

I’ve never had to remove eggs from a clients diet to heal their acne. But countless times I’ve added them in and their healing has taken off….. 🙌

Clueless on what to eat for healthy skin?

I’m so tired of bankrupting myself with expensive creams and treatments promising to keep my skin ‘young’

I bl**dy hated my skin when I was younger

I’ve worked my ass off to get comfortable in my skin in my late 30’s

I’ve birthed a child, created a thriving clinic, supported hundreds of women with their health and skin, moved house, worked on my relationship, cut people out of my life who just brought me down, invested in countless therapies and cried LOTS on pretty much all of them feeling totally lost in not always having a sense of who I am, what I need and how to give it to myself

Life has been great and life has been hard

My face shows it

I’m OK with that 👌🏻

It’s taken me some energy but I am ok with aging and my face, skin, bum and tum showing it.

Why can’t society be?

SYNC WITH YOUR SKIN new course, coming v v v soon!! 😀😀😀😀

I’ve been a busy 🐝 this past while creating an essential self spaced course for skin barrier health 👌🏻

The last year I’ve seen a growing need for this information! So many of us get trapped feeling we need a product or expensive treatment to ‘fix’ our skin, but end up making our skin barrier and the inflammation cycle worse.

what we really need is to understand what our skin is trying to tell us and live a life in sync with our skin 💓

My lovingly made course will be suitable for anyone with a compromised skin barrier, specifically with acne, perioral dermatitis and rosacea in mind, or just wanting to improve your overall skin health, and guides you in why taking my 3 pillar approach (body, mind, environment) is crucial for long term healing.

It’s non dogmatic, flexible and approachable teaching you to tap into what you already know your skin is trying to teach you 🫶🏼

Suffering with your skin well into your adult years is not a failing, in fact it’s increasingly common as our life gets more and more out of sync with nature. Sync with your Skin will re-connect you with what you intuitively know about your skin, and guide you in a flexible and adaptable approach to healing your skin barrier from within using nutrition, lifestlymedicine, yoga and breath work.

I’ve smashed everyone one of these pretty consistently over the last couple of weeks 🫣

Some times having the info isn’t the problem….it’s putting it all in place consistently that is

As much as my skin reminding me of this is daaaaaaaaamn annoying. Doing the work that I do I honestly prefer it to getting no visible signal until…….😳

Cos I’ve definitely had other signals from my body that I need to rest and put down…but ho early is the huge spot that makes me finally listen!!!

Is your skin the only cue your body gives you that you’re running on empty?

And the reminder is……your HUMAN ❤️

It’s so easy to get caught up in the stories of our skin

And whilst I totally hold space for hearing my clients skin story to date….I’m also holding space to let it go….and start creating a new one ☝️

One where we can accept the spot 🫶🏼

Know what it means 👍🏻

And feel in to the bigger lesson our skin might be trying to teach us 🤗

Healthy skin will experience blemishes……contrary to what 99% of the marketing we see in the skin industry is shouting at you…..it’s a sign we are human 😯

That’s all ❤️

If you are caught in the grip of the story….and have no clue what your skin is trying to tell you…..or what the hell to do about it, then I’m here to help you understand and connect 🙏🏼

Schedule your Clarity Call today to get started or check out my 1:1 packages via the link in my bio…we’ve time to re-write your skin story this year 🙏🏼

💗💗💗💗💗

This has been a dream team experience with the wonderful .skin.facial.massage 🥰🥰

A journey of some ups and downs, as many of them are!…and so so delighted my client is finally feeling comfortable and confident in her skin…..as well as improved energy, mood, periods and digestion 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That is why we do what we do ❤️

Got rosacea? 🥴

Had your thyroid tested recently? 🫣

And no that doesn’t include just having just your TSH/T4 levels tested….we need more info than that to properly assess that lovely thyroid of yours 🫡

>>> swipe right for the markers I include with every new clients blood panel >>>

I’ve been doing a looooot of research into rosacea recently. And I hate to say it lovelies but it’s not a skin condition I would hope just goes away on its own……or just rely on topical treatments to treat/manage

A bit like acne it’s a disease state that involves multiple body systems: immune, endocrine, detox, diet, nervous system….but another driver that stands out is thyroid disease.

Unlike acne though, there seems to be a lot of resistance to the idea that rosacea can be managed with diet and lifestyle….and that’s it’s a condition you have to ‘learn to live with’

I ain’t settling for that for my clients! And I’m going ti be diving into the research and mechanisms with you to help change your minds too!!

Got questions about rosace? DM or comment below and I will do my best to answer them

My BODY pillar was by far the most popular vote in my stories so let us start here 👏🏼

As a quick recap I have created 3 pillars (BODY, MIND, ENVIRONMENT) as a framework that I guide each of my clients through on their True Skin Transformation.

My belief is that our skin is a symptom of an imbalance within one, or each, of these pillars and by looking into each one in turn we are better able to identify, and heal, your root causes, triggers and mediators for your skin condition.

The BODY pillar covers everything to do with the physical body and includes:

🍳 Diet
🧬 genetics
🧻 digestive function
🦠 microbiome health
🩸 nutrient depletions / anaemia
🤯 hormone production / transport / communication & elimination
🎢 blood sugar balance
🍋 detox + elimination
🏃‍♀️ movement

In order to fully heal your skin, and ensure lasting results; each of these areas needs to be properly assessed and supported.

No bandaids or short cuts here thank you v much 🙌

So often I see people spending a huge amount of time, energy and money just focusing on one or two areas…..then getting frustrated and giving up when their skin doesn’t heal, concluding that their is nothing in internal healing for them 😞

Having my 3 pillar framework is really helpful to give some perspective on why your efforts might not have worked, so far, and where we need to shift our focus to get the results you want.

I guide you through my 3 pillar approach to healing acne in the True Skin Method, my 6 week self-paced course with 1:1. DM me for more info ❤️

In the last few days of my luteal phase….. 🩸 . So much of me wants to get the seemingly mammoth task of prepping and painting walls in our dining room….but my tank feels empty 🪫

I sometimes get a burst of energy towards my period, like my brain wants to get s**t done and finish up tasks, this can be really helpful in a work sense getting pesky to do’s done, but energetically after a morning in the park and juggling work with parenting I’m feeling flat and if I burn through what I have left I know that will leave more likely to unwelcome pain/fatigue/tears/spots with my impending bleed…so I know better than to take on the task of decorating an entire room rn….don’t I 🙈?

Learning to accept where my body is at is a constant practice. Every month I feel like I’m being tested. 🙄

I hate that in these days my mood feels a little out of my control. I don’t enjoy parenting, let alone being a partner. I can just about tolerate the dog and cat, most days.

I hate that I then pass judgement on myself for feeling any of these things.

I know what my hormones are doing rn, it’s totally normal for your mood and energy to seemingly nose dive in the days leading up to your period.

I also know that there is plenty that’s in my control to help me ride out that nose dive however. Practices I teach my clients all day in clinic…..but still of course have had to learn, and continue to learn, the hard way myself.

Todays practice? Learning to be ok with walking past a room that looks like this for a few more days👆🏼

Wish me luck!

#

It’s a constant practice. Learning to accept our female bodies, that we can wake up feeling one way and go to bed feeling quite another. Our energy levels can plummet from underneath us. And we can fight it….but I know where this gets me - and my skin - so acceptance it is.

A few more days or more walking past this room it is…..

Follow up to todays stories on the role of testosterone in hormonal acne - you can find these under Hormonal Acne highlights ❤️

It’s all very well declaring “it’s just your hormones” to someone suffering with acne but…

1️⃣ that’s not very helpful when you are struggling with your skin

2️⃣ its incredibly disempowering to a women - and I can’t help but feel feeds the narrative of ‘oh alright then let’s just cut them off with this magic pill’

3️⃣ it’s not true

Our hormones are one player in acne, the other key player here is the immune system, genetics AND diet + lifestyle

Doesn’t that feel a tad more hopefully and empowering??

If you are ready to take the next step in healing your hormonal acne then pop me a DM and we can discuss which of my programmes you are best suited to 🥰

This is your daily reminder to do more of what brings you JOY!!!

This is a conversation I have with every client and coach them on during our time working together, and I just LOVE witnessing them asking themselves this question.

🤨🤔😳

What are you doing, on the regs, that is just for YOU?

It’s not an easy question to answer.

All too many convenient excuses: time, money, energy, resources

How can joy become something that we will so easily put off…for what?

It had been weeks since I’d made it to a riding lesson, convincing myself it was for something more important than going just for me. 🙈

But I’m so SO glad I went - I did my FIRST JUMP! On a horse! Literally still beaming and the reminder I needed as to why I try and prioritise ME one evening every week to do something that brings me joy and helps me feel more ME ☺️

What are you waiting for?

Can you do be doing all the right things and still not seeing or feeling the results?

YES my love, I’m afraid you can. 😭

Flares are a reality. 🤬

Hormones can be a bitch. 🤯

You can wake up feeling top of the world!!!

But by afternoon be in the deepest hormonal funk….. 🤬🥺🫠

you can be eating your veggies…. 🥦

upping your protein…. 🥚

getting your steps in…. 🦵🏿

Working on stress 🧘🏽‍♂️

Sticking to your skincare routine 👍🏻

and still not be seeing the results that you want 😿

Skin >>>>> Takes >>>> Time

Something you will often hear in the natural medicine world is if you’ve been experiencing your symptoms for x amount of time, you can expect it to take x amount of time for it to heal.

I don’t always think acne needs the same amount of time again to heal once we’ve figured out your root cause, but if you’ve a lifetime of habits and limiting beliefs to unpick…things may take more than a couple of months.

It takes time.

Your skin will heal.

Focus on the foundations

Try to live your life like you have the skin you want already

And don’t give up!

If you are feeling lost as to what you should be focusing on for your acne - pop me a DM - I have an acne foundations course that teaches you your acne type, and exactly what you need to do to heal ❤️

So excited to be launching 2 new ways of working together this summer ☀️🥰👌🏻

TRUE SKIN METHOD is the education you need to finally heal your acne for good. A combination of online learning, guided self exploration and 1:1 with me so you can finally understand what your skin is trying to tell you and empower yourself with the tools you need to heal.

This is unlike any other acne course out there. I hate the thought of a DIY acne course, I’ve done them myself and felt totally overwhelmed and lost. This is why I’ve included a 1:1 with me so you can talk with an expert and together we can tailor the course to your needs and circumstances.

You’ll learn how to harness nutrition and lifestyle medicine to not just heal your skin but support your health for many years to come.

I’m so so proud of this course and can’t wait to share it with you! We are almost ready to launch so just DM and I’ll make sure you are first to hear when it’s ready 💕

TRUE SKIN INSIGHTS is a new consultation that you can think of as an internal facial! (That will not just get you one step closer to clear skin, but optimal health too 👍🏻👌🏻)

Share your skin story with me as well as your skin and health goals and together we can create a tailor made programme to fix your root causes and heal your skin. You will leave with actionable changes to make to your diet and lifestyle and clarity on your root causes and triggers - finally 🥳 feel confident you are doing the best you can by your skin.

This is just a limited offer through July - you can book through the link in my@bio or just DM me 💕

You can wear those pretty summer tops and feel confident in your skin - you just need to commit to understanding it first.

Here is my guide to understanding what might be causing your back acne.

Come take a look at your acne through my 3 lenses - BODY, MIND, ENVIRONMENT

IMBALANCES in your BODY
- blood dysregulation is often at the heart of acne, especially on the back. With more hair follicles and sebaceous glands the back (and chest) can be more vulnerable to insulin which can drive sebum production which can then result in more spots.
- Microbiome balance and overall gut health should also be considered

MIND
- stress drives cortisol which slows wound healing, upsets your microbiome, further drives blood sugar deregulation and quite literally stresses out your skin! You can’t avoid all stressed but my tips included here can really help calm your stress response and skin.

ENVIRONMENT
- sweaty skin, hot water and hair products can all trigger acne. You don’t need to drive yourself crazy trying to avoid them all but there are some simple changes I’ve included in the post you can make today.

I’m a back acne survivor - as the scars in this pic will show! It’s def a weak spot for me, how about you?

CONFUSED AF as to that’s CAUSING YOUR BREAKOUTS?? 😓🤬😩🙄🫣🤯

Read on…….

1️⃣Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition involving the sebaceous glands of hair follicles. What’s often not talked about is that ….

2️⃣Acne is a systemic disease which is often seen alongside other systemic and metabolic conditions for example insulin resistance/PCOS, leaky gut, gut dysbiosis, depression, endometriosis…..

3️⃣Acne - and these other disease states - occurs from complex interactions between environment and genetic factors. Previously acne bacteria was thought to be the main cause of acne, but we now know your overall health state that controls/reacts and allows the bacteria to overgrow are considered *more important* (than the bacteria itself)

4️⃣Therapies that just focus on killing acne bacteria isn’t going to be enough for many acne sufferers. A holistic approach is required that focuses on optimising overall health considering how each of the body systems involved in acne are interacting and restoring balance.

👀 Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming post that explains exactly how TRUE SKIN METHOD does just that. 🤗

Got questions? Comment below or DM me, I’m so passionate about de-mystifying acne and helping you heal!
