Menstrual hygiene is the ability to manage your period safely, comfortably, confidently, and with dignity.

That includes period products such as pads, tampons, period panties, cups etc... but it’s also all about education, access, confidence, and dignity.

And I feel we have a long way to go in bringing these fundamental right to every girl and woman.

With you in all p*e, pain, pleasure, p**p and period,
Talya

To the body that carried babies, carried milk, carried exhaustion… and still carried me across that finish line.

Postpartum. Breastfeeding. Sleepless.
Yet somehow, you gave me a PB I once thought was impossible.

This marathon was never just about running.
It was about proving that hard things can coexist: motherhood and goals, exhaustion and strength, giving to others while still showing up for yourself.

I ran this for my girls, and for my patients. I want you to see that our bodies are capable of extraordinary things.

Today, I’m simply grateful for mine.
And I paid £40 for this official pictures, you bet I’m going to share them.

I’m Talya
I’m a physio

I treat the backs that ache, the necks that hold
The shoulders tight, the tension old

The headaches that won’t quite fade away
The little pains that choose to stay

I work with runners, lift and train
Desk bound bodies, built on strain

Busy parents, day to night
Trying to feel a little more right

I guide women through each phase
Pregnancy, postpartum days

Finding strength and feeling whole
Reconnecting to their core and soul

I treat men too, of course I do
Because pain doesn’t pick just who

I don’t just chase the where it’s sore
I look for why, and then some more

Hands on care, a thoughtful view
Every plan is built for you

If your body’s whisper turns to shout
You don’t have to figure it out

You’re always welcome here,
Talya

Working hard every day for women.

The women I’m honored to nurture in my home,
and the women I’m privileged to care for in my practice.

You push me.
You inspire me.
You motivate me to be better every single day.

Grateful to be dancing with the next generation while standing beside so many strong women.

Happy International Women’s Day 🤍

Girl to girl… you deserve better.

Better s*x: without pain, shame or “just have a glass of wine.”
Better healthcare: where you’re listened to, not dismissed.
Better strength: not being told to “be careful” forever.
Better postpartum care: not a six-week pat on the back.
Better periods: not suffering in silence.
Better pelvic floor advice: not squeeze and hold.
Better information: not TikTok trends.
Better rest: without guilt.
Better support: at home, at school, at work, in hospitals.
Better standards: from the systems that treat women as “tiny men”.

You are not dramatic.
You are not weak.
And you are not asking for too much.

Girl to girl… we raise the bar.

Much love always,
Talya

Everything I’m doing as a 5-month-postpartum-physio in my marathon training block

• Eat enough. Snacks, meals and hydration. And daily treats.
• Fuel runs properly. We never train fasted. And take the gels. And electrolytes.
• Protect my breast milk supply with adequate calories and hydration.
• Bedtime is 9pm. It’s a non-negotiable for me and I can’t keep my eyes open.
• Pelvic floor practice - strength and stretch - built into training (not just when something goes wrong).
• Strength train at home with my trusty two dumbbells. I am very consistent with this.
• Pilates every single week. Reintroduced Pilates this year as I need a push for the core and stabilizer work.
• Protect my core and pelvic floor under fatigue.
• Stretch, roll and release. Our tissues need care to adapt and handle the load.
• Track fatigue, hormones and life stress. This is a hard one.
• Respect niggles early and modify fast. They’re messengers, not enemies.
• Enjoy the ride. It’s a journey. Running brings me joy and I need to keep it that way.

This is what marathon training looks like in a female body.
Not punishment. Not grind. Not always the same.

We support so we can adapt and then we can perform.
Love your body.

Much love to you all,
Talya

Heart attacks in women are often missed.
Not because they’re rare.
Because they’re quiet.

Most of us expect crushing chest pain, clutching the heart, collapsing.
That’s the male textbook version.

In women, a heart attack can look like:
• Feeling “off” or unusually exhausted
• Nausea, reflux, or stomach pain
• Jaw, neck, shoulder or back pain
• Shortness of breath
• Anxiety, dizziness, cold sweats
• Mild chest pressure or burning not dramatic pain

So women push through.
We finish the day.
We blame stress, hormones, lack of sleep.
And that delay can be dangerous.

🫀 Here’s the part that matters:
You know your body better than anyone.
If something feels wrong — insist on being checked.

Protecting your heart isn’t about extremes.
It’s the boring, consistent stuff that works:
• Daily movement (walking counts)
• Strength training (muscle = protection)
• Sleep and stress management
• Eating for blood sugar balance & fibre
• Knowing your blood pressure & cholesterol
• Taking symptoms seriously (even when they’re subtle)

This isn’t about fear.
It’s about awareness.

Because women don’t need to be “tougher.”
We need to be heard.

With you always,
Talya
