Exercise Prescription - Exercise is Medicine

Exercise Prescription - Exercise is Medicine Cancer Rehab & GP Referral Exercise Specialist, working with Chronic Illnesses and Cancer patients.

Following my cancer diagnosis in 2016, my priorities changed almost overnight. Family and friends came first and I shifted my focus to my physical health & mental wellbeing, learning also to appreciate the little, yet important, things in life. Having worked in the fitness industry for 13 years, I always had a healthy lifestyle, exercising most days and enjoying nutritious meals, but I also had a huge amount of stress in my life. I worked long hours in a job that I loved, cared for our autistic son, and only slept for about 5 hours a night. While people have always been important to me, I never really carved out enough time in my schedule for me. Having just undergone a mastectomy, reconstructive surgery and 6 rounds of chemotherapy, I saw the effect that regular exercise had on my treatment side-effect, recovery and wellbeing. My ah-ha moment came when I realised that there was really no one in my local area or indeed online that was suitably qualified to help me recover from the devastating effects that the cancer treatment had on my body. Using my fitness background and applying the learnings from my own journey, I decided to create a service to help individuals with chronic health conditions or a cancer diagnosis. As a level 4 GP Referral Exercise Specialist, I am qualified to work with 13 chronic conditions including Diabetes, Obesity, Hypertension, COPD, Stress, Anxiety, Osteoporosis and Joint replacement, and feel very privileged to be able to support others through their own journey; which for some, can be a very daunting prospect.

Last time on the Old Man of Coniston we couldn’t see a thing. Yesterday the gods were good and the views were breathtaking! 🏔️ (New Picasso Museum buff on 🎨)

Catch ups with my gorgeous niece Jess and her lovely boyfriend Robbie! A first (not last!) meal at the Drunken Duck 🦆 and a hike to the Force Café this morning ☕

Always good for the soul to get away in nature 💚

Spent an epic weekend in Málaga and the Caminito del Rey was just outstanding! 😍

Then there was the Picasso Museum, a catamaran trip I will never forget….. hilarious, lots of laughs with the best company.

Can’t wait to do it all again 💛

Big news! I’m heading to the Houses of Parliament. But I really need your help! 🙏

On Thursday 15th October, I’ve been invited by Dr Hugo De La Peña, MD, PHD, FRCP. to attend a House of Commons meeting “Breast Cancer: Prevention to Action” hosted by the G100 Women Association in collaboration with Cancer Research UK and Maggie’s.

The meeting brings together voices from health, the corporate sector, diplomacy and public policy to discuss breast cancer prevention, workplace wellbeing, and critically how we better protect and support women during and after breast cancer treatment.

For those of you who know me, you’ll know why this matters so deeply to me:

🌸 I’ve had breast cancer myself.

🌸 My sister is currently living with secondary breast cancer, which has metastasised into her bones and liver.

🌸 I work with clients navigating diagnosis and treatment every day.

🌸 I have friends, and friends of friends, who have faced this terrible disease too.

It’s not an abstract topic for me. It’s very personal, its my profession and it’s a constant!

Ahead of the meeting, I really want to make sure the voices I take into that room aren’t just my own, so I’ve pulled together a short survey.

Please click the link below to share your experience. And if you have had breast cancer, or know somebody who has, a colleague, a family member, a friend, please, please, do share it with them too.

I’d love to get responses back by 2nd October, so I can pull the findings together in time.

These conversations are so incredibly important, and every single piece of input is gold dust. Please do share this so we can reach as many people as possible.

Lake District reset

A few days in the Lake District with Justine and James, big skies, bigger views, and exactly the kind of fresh air I needed before the final quarter of the year kicks in.

Yep I know…. That photo! 😆😂😂

Fresh air, fab company, roll on to Q4.

We are bursting with pride. Last week, our son Jacob graduated from Calman College a specialist college focused on life skills, employment and the transition beyond college life.

As parents of a young man with severe autism, we believe firmly that milestones like this deserve exactly the same celebration as any neurotypical child’s, sometimes even more. The road hasn’t always been easy for Jacob, but he has worked so hard this year, and the achievements speak for themselves.

Alongside his graduation, Jacob has also successfully completed his Duke of Edinburgh Award, delivered at a level tailored to him, a huge accomplishment in its own right and a real testament to how far he has come.

We’re delighted to share that Jacob is moving straight into meaningful work. He’ll be at a farm 5 days a week, and he’ll also be helping his team deliver food from the food bank to people who need it. It’s work that matters, for the animals he’ll care for and the people he’ll support, and we couldn’t be prouder that he’s contributing to his community in a way that’s genuinely his own.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible team at , both his care staff and his education staff, who have supported Jacob every step of the way this year. Thank you for helping him reach the end of this chapter, and for everything you do.

A huge thank you also to Debbie & Peter B, for so generously letting us use Hesslewood for our photos to mark this special day.

Proud parents 💕💕

Tour du Mont Blanc, in the bag ✅🏔️

Italy 🇮🇹 France 🇫🇷 Switzerland 🇨🇭, walked every step, legs wrecked, heart so full 😅

Met the most brilliant people out there, so many laughs about how tough it was, so many good conversations along the way 🙈

Every now and then you just need to switch off, get outside, and remember what your body is actually capable of 🙏

Feeling grateful. Feeling recharged. Feeling properly alive again ✨

After a couple of crazy weeks, it’s been so good to get outside and make the most of this weather.

I never take it for granted, the fact that our bodies let us do the things we love, move, train, walk, laugh in the sunshine. It’s easy to forget how lucky that is until you stop and actually notice it.

I’m so grateful to work with the people I do too. Genuinely lucky to spend my days with clients who show up, put the effort in, and make the job feel like anything but work.

And a special mention to Nurse Farrow and Nurse Batty, sponsored by the glass of w**e, dumbbells and resistance band in hand, who were supposed to be doing their homework! 😂😂. Couldn’t love either of you more. 🫶
