It feels a little surreal to even write that - honestly, where has the time gone??!!๐คฏ
This book is such a special one to me. ๐ค๐๐ปBorn from my own health struggles and the many lessons learned along the way, and rooted from of a real desire to create something that felt genuinely supportive for anyone navigating the often overwhelming world of chronic fatigue and chronic illness.
What I didnโt expect was just how much this book would mean to me over the years. Not just as something I created, but a huge reflection of a significant chapter of my life and work.
Every day I get to work with the most incredible clients whose resilience, openness and commitment never fail to inspire me. Watching people reconnect with themselves, learn to listen to their bodies and make changes that feel sustainable is honestly why I do what I do, seeing them make huge strides in their own health journeys.โจโจ
A HUGE thank you to ๐ช for believing in this book and bringing it to life, my literary agent and my amazing editor for helping shape it into what it became.๐๐ป
I feel proud to have made my mark in helping raise awareness of just how debilitating fatigue๐ can be, and the far-reaching impact it can have on our daily lives, careers, productivity and mental ๐ง health.โจ
I truly believe more research ๐ฌ and investment is needed in this area to better support those living with chronic fatigue, while also providing greater insight into how we can all improve our energy, resilience and long-term health.

Reflecting on my time in South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ, I was reminded that wellness isnโt just whatโs on your plate.
Itโs the moments that slow you down, the spaces that hold you, and the presence you invite in. ๐๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ชพ๐ณ
Cold Truths: A Nutritionistโs Perspective on Ice Baths ๐งโ๏ธ
Ice baths, or cold-water immersion, are often praised for their ability to aid muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and enhance mood through the release of feel-good endorphins. ๐โโ๏ธโจ
But while many, myself included, experience benefits, itโs essential to recognize that ice baths arenโt a one-size-fits-all solution and may not be suitable for everyone.
๐จ Who Should Be Cautious?
Anyone with a medical condition (for example those with heart disease, Raynaudโs and also pregnant women).
There has also been recent discussion whether women should avoid ice bathing compared to menโฆ
๐ Key Considerations for Women:
๐ก Hormonal Influences: womenโs immune systems are partially regulated by hormonal fluctuations like estrogen and progesterone. Cold exposure during certain phases of the menstrual cycle (e.g., the luteal phase) might disrupt immune function. A consideration as well is that during the luteal phase (the second half of the menstrual cycle, beginning right after ovulation), a womanโs core body temperature rises by about 0.5-1โ, largely due to the thermogenic effect of progesterone (increasing blood flow to the skin) โ which may exacerbate physiological stress the body is exposed to extreme temperature changes.
๐ก Chronic Use & Overexposure: overdoing ice baths can elevate cortisol (a stress hormone), potentially suppressing immune function and making the body more vulnerable to illness.
๐ก Cold Immune Stress: for women with lower body fat or circulation issues, cold-water immersion may temporarily weaken immune defenses by reducing the effectiveness of white blood cells (WBCโs).
โจ The Bottom Line: Ice baths can be a fantastic tool for muscle recovery and mood enhancement. However, women should take extra care, considering factors like hormonal fluctuations and individual health. Ultimately, listen to your body, and when in doubt, consult a healthcare professional before taking the plunge! ๐ฉบ

๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ฐ...โจโจAs 2025 draws to a close, Iโve been reflecting on the meaningful year itโs been ๐ค๐ซโจ
One of the biggest highlights has been seeing the Virtual Wellbeing Clinic grow - not just in numbers, but as a community. โจ
Watching our expert practitioners support our lovely clients with holistic, compassionate care and help them feel healthier, more energised, and truly seen has been such a joy to witness.โจ
Iโve also loved getting out into corporate workshops, talking about womenโs health, gut health, fatigue, stress, and mental wellbeing, and sharing my own fatigue journey through talks that bring awareness, education, and hope to those suffering with chronic illness.โจ
On top of that, growing our retail activations and seeing our candles bring a little warmth and wellbeing into peopleโs homes was also such a treat.
Iโm so grateful to the organisations, the individuals who shared their stories, and the incredible team who show up with heart and expertise every single day.โจ
This post really feels like a snapshot of 2025 - a year full of connection, growth, and creating moments that bring wellbeing and joy to others.โจ
Hereโs to a healthy, happy, and purposeful 2026, to all of you lovely lot on here! ๐ค
