I did it — I won the Muddy Stiletto Awards for Best Wellbeing Specialist in Sussex! 🥹✨
A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted for me. Your support means more than I can put into words, and I’m incredibly grateful to have such an amazing community behind me. ❤️
My business has always been about empowering and educating women — giving them the knowledge and confidence to take a more active role in their own health and wellbeing - in a world where all too often women’s health is often overlooked.
I want every woman to know that they don’t have to navigate their journey alone — that there is support, knowledge, and guidance available to help them
Whether it’s supporting women through postpartum recovery, preparing for or recovering from abdominal surgery, managing pelvic floor dysfunction, endometriosis or navigating pelvic organ prolapse, I’m passionate about providing the knowledge, guidance, and support women deserve.
Receiving this award means so much, and I hope it helps even more women discover that support is out there — and that they are not alone. 💛
Thank you, Catherine xx

According to new research, engaging in 90 minutes to two hours of weight training each week may significantly lower the risk of premature death.
Could lifting weights actually help you live longer? Regular weight training can significantly reduce the risk of early death, research suggests.

Very interesting study for anyone who is experiencing Pelvic Organ Prolapse!
NEW STUDY: Low testosterone may be linked to pelvic organ prolapse in postmenopausal women.
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) happens when the muscles and connective tissue supporting the pelvic organs weaken, allowing the bladder, uterus, or re**um to shift downward. It’s common. It’s under-discussed. And now we may be learning more about the hormonal side of it.
In this new study of postmenopausal women:
➡️ Women with prolapse had LOWER free testosterone levels
➡️ More advanced prolapse was linked to EVEN LOWER testosterone
➡️ Estrogen levels were NOT significantly different between groups
We’ve spent decades talking about estrogen and the pelvic floor, while largely ignoring androgens like testosterone.
But testosterone receptors exist in pelvic floor muscles, connective tissue, the bladder, urethra, and va**na. Hormones matter to tissue health. They matter to strength. They matter to function.
This study doesn’t prove testosterone causes or prevents prolapse. But it adds to the growing body of evidence that androgens may play an important role in women’s pelvic health.
And importantly:
free testosterone may someday become a NON-invasive biomarker to help identify women at higher risk for prolapse.
The future of women’s health is not “just estrogen.”
It’s understanding the whole hormonal ecosystem.
Women deserve better research.
Women deserve nuanced conversations.
Women deserve pelvic floor medicine that studies female biology.

Becoming a mother is one of the most life-changing experiences a woman can go through — physically, emotionally and mentally. .
And yet, so many of us are left to navigate the post-partum period feeling unsupported and unheard.
In this video I’m sharing my honest frustrations about the lack of post-partum care many of us experience through the NHS. This isn’t about blame — it’s about awareness, honesty, and pushing for better support for mothers.
To every mum who has felt dismissed, exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you were expected to just “get on with it” after birth… you are not alone. Your recovery matters. Your mental health matters. Your body matters.
I see you, I hear you, and you deserve better care.
If this resonates with you, please share your experiences. The more we speak about this, the harder it is for it to be ignored.
Sending love and solidarity to every mother navigating the fourth trimester. ❤️
