As this year draws to a close, I’ve been taking a little time to pause and reflect – not just on what I’ve done, but on what I’ve learned, how I’ve grown, and why it all matters so much to me.
2025 has been a big year. A year of stepping outside my comfort zone, learning as I went, and trusting that if my intention was right, everything else would follow.
A Year of Giving & Supporting Wellness
One of the things I’m most proud of this year is how much I’ve been able to give back.
In 2025, I created 59 YouTube videos, recorded 16 episodes of The Wellness Journey Podcast, wrote 20 wellness blogs, and taught 14 free classes, both in person and online. I also began volunteering with the Parkinson’s group at Y Galon over the summer.
Alongside this, I hosted 11 Wellness Walks, welcoming 21 different women to move, connect and enjoy the outdoors with no pressure or expectations, just community and fresh air.
All of this was created with one intention: to make movement, education and support accessible and safe.
Working With People, Not Numbers
Alongside the free work, I supported 191 clients one-to-one this year helping people with pain, recover from injury, improve their posture, confidence and movement.
I genuinely love working 1:1 because it gives me the time and space to truly understand someone – not just their symptoms, but them. Together, we uncover the root cause of what’s going on and work through it in a supportive, holistic way. Watching my clients improve and transform brings me so much joy.
New Steps, New Confidence
This year also brought many firsts: my first half-day retreat, my first guest speaker event, and the creation of three workshops – a posture workshop, a running injury prevention workshop for women (with Helen Jenkins), and a self-massage workshop alongside my husband, Adam.
I taught 111 in-person classes and 21 online classes welcoming women and men of all ages into spaces that felt safe, supportive and encouraging.
The Biggest Growth (Behind the Scenes)
One of my biggest personal achievements this year has been learning technology.
I started the year barely knowing how to copy and paste. I had no confidence with websites, emails or video editing.
Now, I’ve uploaded blogs, sent newsletters, edited my website, created and edited YouTube videos, and spent 10 months building my own online posture course. It genuinely feels like I’ve done a year at university, and I’m incredibly proud of myself for sticking with it and not giving up during those overwhelming moments.
The Thrive Tribe
Another huge highlight of 2025 has been founding the Thrive Tribe.
What began as a small Facebook group in September has grown into a supportive online platform and a beautiful community of women who want to stay strong, confident and connected as they age.
Alongside my long-standing core strength community, this space represents everything I care about – empowerment, connection and wellbeing.
Why I Do What I Do
Everything I’ve done this year comes back to one thing.
I want women to feel good in their bodies.
I want them to feel confident, capable and proud – not defined by how they look, but empowered by how they move and how they feel.
Our bodies are incredible. They do so much for us every single day, yet so often we criticise them for how they look on the outside. I want every woman to marvel at what her body can do, to care for it, respect it, and truly appreciate it.
Because loving ourselves completely, deeply and wholeheartedly – just as we are – is wellness.
Looking Ahead
As I move into a new year, I feel deeply grateful for this community, for the trust you place in me, and for the journey we’re on together.
If you’d like to take a gentle pause before the year really gets going, I’m hosting an in-person workshop on Sunday 11th January:
New Year Reset: Move • Reflect • Realign
A calm, grounding two-hour session combining movement, breath, reflection and intention setting – a chance to realign with yourself and step into the year ahead feeling calmer and clearer.
I’d love to see you there 💛
Wishing you all an abundance of love, good health & happiness for 2026!
