Our Winter wellbeing doesn’t happen by accident.
It’s created in the small choices we make before the colder days fully settle in.

Over the past six weeks, we’ve talked about preparing for winter gently — not with pressure or perfection, but with simple practices that support your body, mind and nervous system through the season ahead.

🍁 Moving your body consistently - find your vibe (it could be Pilates or Yoga, Barre or Reformer or simply going for a walk with a friend)
❄️ Supporting your muscles and stress levels with massage and other forms of recovery
🍂 Nourishing yourself with warming, nutrient rich and delicious foods. Ensuring adequate hydration and prioritising rest
🫂 Protecting your mental health through connection with your family, friends and community and stepping into those slower rhythms
🫖 Creating calming rituals you can return to when life feels full

The people who tend to feel best through winter usually aren’t doing extreme things — they’re doing small things CONSISTENTLY.

And the beautiful thing is… there’s still time to begin.

You don’t need to overhaul your life before winter.
You just need to start asking:
What helps me feel grounded?
What helps me feel well?
What can I commit to consistently — even on busy weeks when I'm tired and it's dark and cold?

Maybe it’s:
One movement class a week
A regular massage
More nourishing meals
Earlier nights
Less pressure
More connection

Winter doesn’t have to be something to just “get through.”
With a little preparation and care it can become a season of slowing down, reconnecting, strengthening and supporting yourself more deeply.

Start now.
Your winter self will thank you for it. ❄️

🤝 WEEK 5 Preparing for Winter — protect your mental health with connection

Shorter days can affect mood more than we realise - Winter can also bring some profound changes in how we think, feel and behave.

We might find ourselves feeling more irritable, having low energy, or even struggling with our normal day to day routines.
Maintaining mental health through Winter months is vital in supporting our overall health, wellness and enjoyment of this time of year.

Having a strong support system and maintaining social interaction can be greatly beneficial in reducing negative mental health symptoms.

✨Schedule regular chats with friends and family - grab a coffee or go for a walk
✨Reach out by phone or email, or even send a letter in the mail
✨Plan trivia sessions, movie screenings, or other social events
✨Look for book clubs, interest groups, support groups or other communities to join

And it’s important to reach out to your support system and talk with those you trust when you feel like you’re struggling.
Be open and discuss your concerns and how you’re managing them.

Plan now for regular connection:
✨ A weekly class
✨ A walk with a friend
✨ A coffee date
✨ A group environment that gets you out of the house

YOUR community is powerful Winter medicine.

WEEK 4 Preparing for Winter — nourish now for the season ahead 🫛

As the season changes, so does the needs of our body.
We need less of the lighter, bright foods of the warmer months and more of the longer lasting, energy nurturing, easy to digest foods to support us through the cooler months.

Start your shift toward warm, nourishing foods now.
Pull out old recipe books and find new favourites.

Things to look at adding into your weekly meals:
✨️ Immune-Boosting Produce: Citrus fruits (oranges, limes, lemons, grapefruit), kiwi fruit and mandarins etc are packed with Vitamin C
✨️Hearty Root Vegetables: Potatoes, carrots, parsnips, pumpkin and beetroot are in season and perfect for filling, nutritious meals
✨️Green Veggies: Broccoli, kale, cauliflower, spinach and Asian greens provide essential vitamins and minerals
✨️Warming Staples: Oats, ginger, garlic, tumeric and slow-cooked meals with meat or lentils (soups, casseroles) provide energy and promote warmth
✨️Protein & Zinc Sources: Meats, eggs, fish, dairy, tofu and legumes help maintain protein and mineral levels for immunity

Be sure to add in fun stuff too!
✨️Berries - rich in antioxidants and flavour
✨️Herbal Teas - SO many to choose from - do check out local brands and - a delicious warming Chai latte is one of life's great pleasures or fresh slices of ginger in your favourite green tea....DELISH!
✨️Dark Chocolate!

Cooking well in Winter doesn't have to be hard work - get that slow cooker out and dust it off.

Meal planning and prep will go a long way in making sure you get all the nutrients you need without spending all week trying to work out what to have for dinner at the last minute.

Stalk your favourite chefs online for ideas and inspiration!
Some of mine are:







Eat well. Feel well.

Winter wellness begins in the kitchen.

WEEK 3 Preparing for Winter — keep your body moving!! 🧘🏻‍♀️

In winter, we tend to naturally move less and hide away more!

This can feel good to start with (who doesn't want to keep warm and toasty with the latest series of Bridgerton on?) but, hide away too long and it can lead to stiffness in your body, major drops in your energy, sluggish metabolism and a downright cranky mood.

Movement doesn't have to be overwhelming.
It doesn't have to be a hard workout every time.
It just has to start.

Choose movement you ENJOY.
Choose movement you can stay CONSISTENT with.
Choose movement that is FUN!

✨ Pilates for strength, resilience + support
✨ Yoga for mobility, breath + nervous system regulation
✨ Reformer or Barre for circulation, endurance + warmth

Or, simply, grab a good friend (furry or otherwise) and get outside.
Go for a walk to your favourite coffee spot or view of the river.
Make it a weekly thing and schedule it in your phone.

You don’t need intensity — you need regularity.

WEEK 2 Preparing for Winter — support your body ❤️

As the weather cools down, our muscles can tighten, circulation can slow and we tend to hold more tension in our bodies.
As our daylight hours get less and less, so too can our resilience, our energy levels, our immune system and our ability to copy with day to day stresses.

Regular Massage before and during winter can help:
✨ Keep muscles feeling yummy and loose
✨ Support our circulation and help boost immunity
✨ Settle the nervous system
✨ Prevent winter blues from settling in
✨️ Give yourself some 'me time'
✨️ Simply get you out of the house for something that isn't work or the grocery shop!

Think of it as whole body (and mind) maintenance!

My regulars will know that my own practice, at sanctum body, is currently fully booked but the delightful Liana from has been working behind the scenes to connect local therapists to each other - she has compiled a list of Remedial Massage Therapists and their booking links.

Preparing for Winter Starts Now 🍁🍁

WEEK 1 — let's start before we actually need it

Most of us wait until Winter hits and the doldrums start to even think about looking after ourselves.
But I think the secret to feeling good all through Winter is setting up supportive habits right now - before we're looking down the long tunnel of those colder, darker days.

So how about this week, start to ask yourself:
✨ What helps me feel well?
✨️What helps me feel grounded?
✨️Where can I feel gaps in my day to day life (this could be exercise, quiet time at home, nutrition, social catch ups, time in nature)
✨ What routines do I want to carry into winter?
✨️How can I start small and build good things for myself?

Start small. Start gently. Start now.

Getting ready for Winter — gently....

I've been thinking.
Thinking about the months ahead and I thought, before our Winter arrives with its cooler days and its slower pace, that this is a beautiful time to set ourselves up with habits that will support our bodies and minds through the season ahead.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing simple ways you can care for yourself and set yourself up to enjoy the cooler months ahead - BEFORE you start to feel run down, stiff or just 'BLEH'

For me this meant looking at massage (of course!), movement (even less surprise 😊), nourishment and connection to family and friends.

Think of it as preparing for winter with intention, rather than reacting when you’re already feeling it.

Small, steady practices now that can make a big difference later.

Join me each week for gentle tips to help you head into winter feeling grounded, supported and content.
