I’ve found my new favourite place, beautiful Provence🇫🇷

The lavender fields, golden sunsets, sleepy hilltop villages, rosé-filled lunches, and that slow, beautiful rhythm of life… I fell for it all🫶🏻

We came for a holiday, and I’ve left with a heart full of memories and a longing to return🤍

Life has a crazy way of testing us, pushing us and sometimes breaking us.

But if I’ve learned anything, it’s this: the woman I am today was built from every hardship, every lesson, and every struggle I never thought I’d make it through.

When I was in my twenties I didn’t dream big, I settled, I lacked confidence in who I was, and I often said “yes” when everything inside me screamed “no.” But it was through the wrong choices, in life, in love, and in the way I treated myself that I finally learned who I truly wanted to be.

I’ve battled with my mental health for years and my healing didn’t happen overnight. Confidence didn’t magically appear, it came through loving the right people, losing the wrong ones, digging deep to find a strength I didn’t know lived inside me, expressing myself unapologetically, releasing years of buried pain, and learning to embrace life with positivity and a huge smile everyday.

Today, I’m proud. Proud of the friendships I’ve nurtured. Proud of the love I’ve allowed myself to receive. Proud of the dreams I’m finally chasing. Proud of the woman who looks back at me in the mirror — not flawless, but fearless in her own way.
I have no regrets. Every wrong turn led me here✨

For anyone going through their own struggles, heartbreak, living a life they didn’t envision, then I hear you, I see you and I know you’ll only come out of it stronger. Dream big and life will bless you in ways you didn’t know were possible🫶🏻

I wasn’t very present on social media last month as I I felt overwhelmed with everything going on in my life currently (thankfully all good things), and I wanted to feel more present around my family. It was nice to have a break, sometimes I just need that time out, time to step away and reset.

Contrology emphasizes conscious control over movement, with a deep focus on precision, alignment, breath and mental discipline.

Joseph Pilates believed that true fitness wasn’t about sheer or unguided strength, but about mastering control of the body through mindful, purposeful movement.

The key principles of Contrology:

* Concentration – being mentally engaged in every movement
* Control – moving with intention and precision
* Centering – activating the core or “powerhouse” for stability
* Flow – executing movements smoothly and gracefully
* Precision – performing movements with accuracy
* Breath – using proper breathing to support movement

When movements are performed with these principles you feel a connection to the exercise you’ve never felt, as if your body, mind, and breath are finally speaking the same language. It’s not just movement anymore, it’s embodiment.

I get asked a lot if I only do Pilates for fitness, and the answer is no.

I love Pilates and its many benefits for the body and mind, so I try to do this as many times a week as possible. I do a mixture of matwork and reformer Pilates, fitting in short workouts around my busy schedule of teaching.

As I’m in my forties, I don’t feel Pilates alone is enough for me, so I like to attend the gym several times a week to bring in weight training. Trying to be mindful of Osteoporosis as I enter the perimenopause phase of my life I lift heavy with few reps. (This has to be done with good technique to avoid injury)

I hate cardio, always have done, so I opt for brisk walking as this also helps my mental health being out in nature.

I personally don’t think one type of fitness is enough as our bodies age. (Joseph Pilates didn’t just do Pilates either) Combining a few fitness forms that you love, which include building strength, increasing cardio and improving mobility, will get the endorphins flowing, get the body moving and give you the best chance of staying fit as you age✨

When I joined this business last September I knew it had potential to change my life, but I hadn’t realised the potential it would give me to help change other people’s lives.

Yes it’s network marketing, but our product is one of the best things in life, travel✨

Holidays make us memories, travel lets us escape, vacations shows us other cultures and these moments can give us so much joy.

Nearly all of us want to go away and experience the world, so I couldn’t think of a better product to sell.

Becoming an Independent travel agent has so many rewards, from earning money through commission, to being able to use incredible discounts as agents. You earn from other people’s travel as well as your own.

Becoming a rep selling the travel business opens up the possibility to earn a passive income. Building your team allows you to earn money even when you’re on your own vacation, when you are sick and the best thing is, you can make it willable to your friends or family.

I love the freedom this job brings, the joy from helping people book their dream holidays and most importantly for helping other people start their own business and seeing what a massive difference it can make to their life financially, as well as giving them more time back to do the things they love.

My goals are set and I’ve dreamed big, because I see what incredible opportunities this business has given others and can give everyone that joins this business.

This business is taking off in such a huge way at the moment and it’s time to jump in with both feet before you miss the boat✨
