How would it feel to drink wine without any guilt? Last weekend I received my Decree Nisi, had an offer on my house and found myself childfree. Major things to celebrate + freedom = time to let my hair down! So I booked a table at my favourite wine bar and got all glammed up. […]
Despite the saying ‘love at first sight’, when you truly love someone, it is never a momentary thing. It is about being there every day and demonstrating patience and perseverance. It is about the small things that you do every day to show your commitment and adoration. The honeymoon period soon dwindles, the initial passion […]
‘Hangry’ is often something that my clients find themselves experiencing – feeling bad-tempered or irritable as a result of hunger. This is because they deny their biological hunger for so long only to have it backlash which results in an urgent and intense desire to eat. It is a bit like holding your breath underwater […]
My son Luca absolutely loves making lemonade using fresh lemons. Here he is sharing his latest recipe which we enjoyed on this very warm Easter Sunday. We hope you enjoy it – it really is so simple! All you need is: 3/4 cup of sugar 3-4 lemons water ice-cubes

Last week, I lost a couple of potential new clients. All for the right reasons but I initially felt disappointed. Until I reframed my thoughts. I realised that it was probably a good thing as I am incredibly busy and it would have meant less time with my boys. Clients will come again when the […]
I talk a lot about how relentlessly perusing weight loss often leads to a path of self-sabotage. But does this mean that wanting to lose weight is wrong? No, not at all. How can it be when we live in a society that is constantly criticising us for the way we look or for the […]
The kids are back at school which means many of us will find ourselves back to making packed lunches again – I can’t say I have missed that job during lock-down…. It has, however, provided us with an opportunity to re-think how we do things. In my experience as a mother and a nutritionist, I […]
