You don’t have to pick just one thing …. This is your life. These are YOUR goals! As your physio and coach through Revitalise Method this is SO important. I want to know about you, your life, your goals and I want to help you get there. DM me if you want to discuss how this works x

Don’t see listening to your body as failure or giving up.

Learning to listen to your body is a skill.

But how do you know if you’re just a bit tired… or if your body is actually trying to tell you something?
The truth is, you need to learn to read these signs as information - alongside the context of what’s happening in your life.

This body was capable of running 14 miles on Tuesday, so I know this wasn’t simply a fitness issue.
But for the last 3 days I’ve been up almost every 45 minutes at night with a poorly baby. We’ve had the hottest days of the year. My cycle has returned with a vengeance post-baby. And I’ve had a slight ni**le in my left Achilles.

So when I started running today and my whole body just felt… off, I decided to pay attention.
I turned around after 2 miles.
And that wasn’t failure.
It was information.

Learning to read your body’s signals is a skill - and it’s one I’m passionate about teaching my clients.

Because when you understand what your body is telling you, you can make better decisions, adapt when life throws obstacles at you, and ultimately feel more confident in your body.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is keep going.
And sometimes the strongest thing you can do is turn around. ❤️

Recovering from a pregnancy like that isn’t linear, and it isn’t quick. There were weeks I couldn’t have imagined running again at all, let alone 14 miles. I didn’t chase a timeline - I rebuilt slowly, checked in with myself properly, adjusted whenever something didn’t feel right. It’s the same process I use with every woman I coach, because it’s the only one that actually holds up.

That’s really the whole point of what I do. Not bouncing back. Rebuilding, properly, at whatever pace your body actually needs - pregnancy complication, birth, loss, perimenopause, whatever your version of ‘last year’ looked like.

If you’re in the middle of your own rebuild right now, however far into it - I see you, and it’s working, even on the days it doesn’t feel like it.

Session 7 of Revitalise Method: Your Summer Series 💓

A simple at-home dumbbell routine - no gym, no experience needed. Just a way to keep moving and build good habits this summer.
Please note: this series isn’t suitable for newly postpartum mums - wait until you’ve had your postnatal check and been cleared to exercise before starting (a Mummy MOT is ideal).

Most training only moves forward and back. This session trains sideways - the lateral lunge, and the frontal plane strength most programmes skip entirely, but you use constantly without ever thinking about it.

Here’s why this matters: perimenopause and postnatal recovery both directly change how your body builds and holds onto muscle, bone density and joint stability. Deliberate strength training through this overlap isn’t optional - it’s how you build a body that holds up for the next twenty, thirty, forty years, not just this summer.

THE SESSION (20 min):
4 rounds of:
• Bent-Over Row x10
• Lateral Lunge x8/side
• Hip Thrust x12
• Dead Bug x10

Follow along for the next multi-planar session Wednesday, or comment SUMMER for the full guide.

This series covers the foundations. My 1:1 clients train these same patterns and dozens more variations, built entirely around their own assessment, history and goals - that’s the level of programming that actually changes how you move and feel.

There's no single blood test that reliably confirms Perimenopause, especially if you have recently had a baby - hormone levels fluctuate too much, day to day, for one reading to mean much on its own. That fact gets used as a reason to tell women 'we can't say anything yet,' when actually, the absence of one perfect test doesn't mean there's no useful information to gather.

The clearest picture comes from your pattern over time - cycle changes, sleep, mood, joints, energy - looked at together, not each symptom judged alone against a generic checklist. I can't tell you definitively that it's perimenopause - only a GP or specialist can - but I can help you build that pattern into something worth taking to them.

One thing to start today: keep a simple note for the next month - cycle length, sleep, mood, anything that feels different. That pattern is worth more walking into a GP appointment than any single test result on its own.

Session 6 of Revitalise Method: Your Summer Series 💓

A simple at-home dumbbell routine - no gym, no experience needed. Just a way to keep moving and build good habits this summer.

Please note: this series isn’t suitable for newly postpartum mums - wait until you’ve had your postnatal check and been cleared to exercise before starting (a Mummy MOT is ideal).

For every mum twisting round one-handed to grab something off the back seat - this session trains rotational control, one of the last things to come back properly postnatally and one of the most under-addressed.

Strength training isn’t optional at this stage of life. Perimenopause and postnatal recovery change how your body maintains muscle, bone and joint resilience and without deliberate training, that decline happens quietly. This is the work that changes that trajectory.

THE SESSION (20 min):
4 rounds of:
• Renegade Row x6/side
• Step-Up x8/side
• Single-Arm Overhead Press x8/side
• Pallof Press x10/side

This is one of the questions I get asked more than almost anything else, so let’s just say it properly.

A few of the symptoms that surprise people most, because nobody warns you they’re even connected to hormones: sudden rage over something tiny, a new intolerance to alcohol or heat, joints that click and ache with no injury, an itchy or crawling sensation under the skin, and a memory that feels like it’s got holes in it mid-sentence.

None of these scream ‘perimenopause’ on their own, which is exactly why they get missed or explained away individually.

That’s not you overreacting or imagining things. That’s a genuine gap in how this stage of life gets explained and recognised, especially for women in their late 30s who assume they’re ‘too young’ for any of it.

If you’ve asked yourself that question and never got a straight answer, comment SEEN below and I’ll@send you a message.

Session 5 of Revitalise Method: Your Summer Series 🩷

A simple at-home dumbbell routine from Lucinda, a physio and women’s health coach - no gym, no experience needed. Just a way to keep moving and build good habits this summer.

Please note: this series isn’t suitable for newly postpartum mums - wait until you’ve had your postnatal check and been cleared to exercise before starting (a Mummy MOT is ideal).

“Why does my upper back always ache?” - this is the session I get asked to explain most. It spotlights the row, which directly counters the forward-leaning posture that pram-pushing and feeding build up over months.

This is exactly why I build every programme around resilience, not just movement: hormonal changes through perimenopause and the physical toll of pregnancy and birth both affect muscle mass, bone density and joint stability. Training through this stage properly is what protects you long-term.

THE SESSION (20 min):
4 rounds of:
• Romanian Deadlift x10
• Bent-Over Row x10
• Bulgarian Split Squat x8/side
• Side Plank + Hip Abduction 20s/side

Save this one for your next pram-posture reset. Comment SUMMER for the full guide.

This is one movement, done one way. In 1:1 coaching, you train this and every other key pattern — dozens of variations, sequenced and progressed specifically around your body, your training history, and your goals. That’s where the real results happen.
