Strength Training & Menopause: My Personal Journey. As someone diagnosed with POF (premature ovarian failure), known then as premature menopause, at just 20 years old, I understand the unique challenges that come with this phase of life.

Now, as a menopause practitioner, personal trainer, functional breath coach and yoga teacher I’m passionate about helping others navigate their journeys with confidence and strength. 💪✨

Strength training has been a vital part of my wellness routine, and I can’t emphasise enough how transformative it has been! Not only does it combat the physical changes we experience during menopause, but it also boosts our mood and overall well-being.

In this video I’m embracing the power of strength training—showing that we can thrive at any age!If you’re feeling the effects of menopause, know that you don’t have to face it alone.

Join me in this empowering journey, and let’s build strength together, both physically and mentally.

I often get questions about my breathing practices, so I wanted to share some insights! After experiencing the stress of an unnecessary court battle that led to bowel surgery, I dug deep into the study of breathing. Training as a breath coach transformed my life. Nasal breathing, in particular, has such incredible power, why aren’t we all practicing it? Let’s change that!

Question; how does breathing help reduce inflammation?
The vagus nerve is a crucial component of the autonomic nervous system, playing a significant role in regulating inflammation and promoting a state of calm in the body. Understanding its pathways, how it interacts with the immune system, and the impact of breathing techniques can provide valuable insights into managing inflammation.

How It Works:
- It detects changes like infection and inflammation through sensory fibers.
- When activated, it sends signals to the brain, triggering the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.
- Neurotransmitters, especially acetylcholine, are released to help reduce inflammation.

Breathing Techniques That Help:
1. Long,Slow,Deep Nasal Breathing: Activates the vagus nerve, promoting relaxation and lowering stress.
2. Calm the Nervous System: Controlled breathing enhances communication between the vagus nerve and the immune system.
3. Mindfulness: Awareness of breath helps identify stress triggers and promotes calm.

Incorporating these practices can harness the vagus nerve to support your immune system and overall well being. Interested in specific breathing techniques? DM to book your practice, tailored to you.

I recently received a question about whether my monthly training plan includes functional training, a term that's currently trending in the fitness and wellness community.

Functional training refers to exercises designed to improve your ability to perform everyday activities with greater ease. This involves movements that take your joints through their full range of motion while engaging stabilising muscles.

This is at the core of what I teach. Whether you call it functional training, functional yoga, dynamic vinyasa flow, or kettlebell and strength training, my approach encompasses a wide array of disciplines developed over more than 30 years. I emphasise a multidisciplinary strategy for overall health and fitness.

A pivotal component of my training is biomechanics, understanding how your body moves and how to optimise that movement through correct exercise techniques. I focus on ensuring that every exercise is performed with proper alignment and form, minimising the risk of injury while maximising effectiveness. Additionally, I incorporate functional breathing techniques, which enhance oxygen flow and support muscle engagement, improving overall performance and recovery.

As a personal trainer and Yoga Teacher, I’ve observed that sticking to a single training method can often lead to repetitive injuries. Motivation tends to wane when workouts become monotonous, causing individuals to revert to unhealthy habits. I’ve found that training in one discipline can enhance performance in another, and combining various practices can effectively boost flexibility, strength, and stability in less time.

My goal is to teach you how to move your body with the correct muscle and joint function, enabling effortless and pain free movement.

A great example of this is one of my clients who is currently training post surgery after two knee replacements. With a tailored program focusing on strength, balance, flexibility, and the principles of biomechanics, he is making incredible progress. He’s now achieving movements he once thought impossible, like standing to the floor with ease. This embodies the essence of functional training: exercises that help you perform everyday activities more effectively.
