About Me

I teach a bespoke blend of movement, mindfulness and mindset practices to create flexibility, calm and strength in body and mind.

When I'm not on my mat, with clients or writing, you can find me with my partner and our wee girl exploring the wilds of Scotland.

Helping you avoid burnout and optimise your nervous system so you can feel your best - and actually rest.
Movement. Mindset. Mindfulness. Motherhood.

Be honest - how much downtime do you spend fake resting?

Fake rest, eg doomscrolling, busywork, pottering, keeps us busy without ever actually filling the tank.

And most of us have been doing it for so long, it just feels normal. Save this if you need a reminder of what rest is actually supposed to look like.

Been a while since I was naptrapped 🥲 and I can’t

Been a while since I was naptrapped 🥲 and I can’t help but think of the 100s or even 1000s of mums who are sat here like this right now too.

Rei’s really poor with tonsillitis and we have no village, meaning Mike and I have juggled it all this week, despite the fact neither of us are 100% either. I’m so grateful that we both step up when needed - Mike simultaneously parenting and working while I’m teaching, and me getting all the snuggles so he can work the rest of the time.

We know what balls we can drop (namely the housework, any decent selfcare, and me doing any work beyond showing up to teach) so we can survive, and that it’ll take a minute to catch up once we’re all back on our feet.

It’s a lot, and I know we’re not the only ones spinning all the plates. Mike and I have both worked sooo hard at communication in our relationship so that we can support each other, and too many of my friends and clients are in relationships where that feels very one-sided.

A village is far more than partners. It’s friends offering to run errands or to babysit so you can get a date night (🩷 you know who you are). It’s having people to talk to that get it, or even grandparents round the corner if you’re lucky. It’s remembering you’re doing this alongside millions of other women around the world; that we’re all muddling through, doing our best, together.

@yogawithfay and I are running an event just for mums in Edinburgh; a chance to connect and get support through movement, breath, mindfulness and conversation.

It’s on Saturday 28th Feb and we have such a wonderful group of women joining already. There are still spaces, and wee (pre-mobile) babes are very welcome to join. These days we often have to create our own damn village, and we’d be delighted to hold space and do just that.

And finally, let’s all celebrate that I wrote all this one-handed, without dropping my phone on my daughter’s head 😅🩷

This was the best parenting advice I’ve had, and it applies to everyone (not just parents!). Time we stop gatekeeping this one guys 😬

Seeking the glimmers helps us recognise the joy in the day-to-day mundanity of life. It teaches us theres more fulfilment to be found in our life beyond big milestones/achievements.

Finding the magic in the smallest of moments transformed my life. Share with someone who needs some more joy in theirs 💕

Last year was my time to choose my values and prioritise the things that matter to me. These are the lessons that made the biggest difference. What are you taking into this year with you?

Mental resilience is the cornerstone of my work, buuuuut not in the go hard/brittle/bully your way through your pain sense (🫣)

Through life coaching, yoga, somatics and mindfulness I teach mental resilience so that you can -

🌟 have a full tank
🌟 identify your values
🌟 be in the present moment
🌟 learn mindful movement that feels good and connects you to your body
🌟 rebuild your confidence & self worth
🌟 become active not reactive
🌟 create strong boundaries and self-advocacy habits

New Years Intention setting but not as you know it

New Years Intention setting but not as you know it 🔥

As a private yoga teacher and coach, I mainly work with busy professionals, entrepreneurs, and primary/mental-load-carrying parents – all of whom have a jam-packed schedule that can at times struggle to accommodate life’s curveballs.

We know all too well that we need a plan that is flexible and dynamic to meet our crazy lives, so I created a system that allows for this.

Save this post for when life gets crazy, OR I’ll be guiding everyone through this exact process (and then some) tomorrow @marpoleretreats Yoga & Journaling class, where we will move, reflect and create themes for the new year. There are still some spaces left if you would like to join.

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like there’s been a

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like there’s been a huge shift from GO GO GO // DO ALL THE THINGS / hustle mode to something softer but no less impactful.

I’m guessing we’re all burnt out from growing for the sake of growth, doing everything right and being on all the time. And don’t get me started on the state of the “wellness” industry (I’ll pass on the raw meat thx 🫣).

The reality is, there’s always going to be a limit when we’re operating from that place - a timebomb ticking down to burnout.

The journey I’ve been on has been a whole other level for me.

✨I used to slow down so I could speed up again afterwards, but now I fully embrace slow and (somewhat) steady. Ditch that rollercoaster - your mental health will thank you.

✨My success does not reflect my self-worth. I am a wonderful person and that isn’t conditional on anything that I achieve.

✨If it costs me my peace it’s a hard no. Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries.

✨I dropped my perfectionist standards and learnt to be ok with good enough - especially for the things that don’t even matter in the long run.

✨More isn’t always better. Sometimes more is just more.

✨Life is not linear; take time to retreat, stop or do less. Rest is part of the balance.

✨Healing takes longer than you expect, and it’s an act of surrendering over and over.

Quieter? Yes. More fulfilling? Absolutely 🩷

Share if you hard relate to this ✨

Take the leap, choose a different path and find yourself in the process. Half the people in your life may think you’re insane but you’ll never regret choosing yourself 🩷

A morning in the life of a yoga teacher ❤️

I teach many people from all walks of life on a 1-1 basis (and in group), but the underlying goals are almost always the same.

🩷 to reduce stress and build mental resilience and capacity, so that you feel energised and resourced in life again
🥰 to connect to yourself - and feel more confident in your true self - in a lifestyle and society that often takes us away from authenticity
🧘 to move in a way that feels good, nourishes your mind, body and energy levels, personalised to meet and support you where you are at, no matter the day

The simple act of having space held for *you*, and to feel supported, with no distractions, stressors or demands can be life changing in itself ❤️

It’s yoga - and so much more. See my link in bio for more information 🧘
