My relationship with meditation
I’ve had a love, hate relationship with meditation. Actually it’s more of a love but don’t do relationship! I first started exploring meditation after I went on holiday to Thailand in 2006. That’s when I met Shelley, who I’ve been seeing for meditation, yoga and reiki...
What can we learn from our kids?
When I get five minutes I love just watching my kids. It doesn't happen very often; when I can just do nothing and watch, but when it does I just love taking them in. I think there’s a few things we can learn from out little ones. Here’s what I’ve learned so far. They...

Linda is one half of P4 Body, an online personal training system that’s 100% bespoke to you. Not only is Linda running her own business but she has two gorgeous little girls, just 15 months apart. She amazes me when I see her doing all of these things and exercising...

What happened when I gave up sugar …. completely!
As a nutritional therapist you’d expect my sugar consumption to be low. And it was. But there were a few things that I’d chosen not to give up; a nice glass of wine and good quality chocolate. And as my philosophy is all about eating what you enjoy and creating...
A little sad, and may be a bit crazy!
Today my little girl is 1 year old. I can’t believe it. I mean it went quickly with my first but with her, my second, it really has flown by and I say that with no exaggeration. And that’s why I feel sad, I barely remember those early newborn days now, where she was...
