If you’ve ever been on a Deva Yoga Retreat and eaten one of the meals, you’ll know one thing straight away:

For me, food is about proper nourishment. Full flavour. Real satisfaction.

I’m a Nutrition & Health Coach, but long before that I spent over 25 years working in the food industry. I lived and breathed food then, and I still do.

Food has shaped my life. Feeding people is how I show care. These days, that love of food is layered with science, physiology, and a deep respect for what food actually does in the body.

Over the years, my philosophy has become very clear.

Why I Do This Work?

I didn’t become a Nutrition & Health Coach because I wanted to talk about calories or hand out rigid plans.

This work is deeply personal.

I first trained as a Positive Psychology Coach because I was fascinated by what helps women flourish: resilience, purpose, mindset and meaning.

But I realised that, for me, food was the leverage point. So I extended my training and qualified in Nutrition too.

I believe in journaling. I love a reframe. But if you’re exhausted, under-fuelled, and riding blood sugar highs and lows, everything feels harder than it needs to be.

Food isn’t separate from wellbeing.
It underpins it.

At the same time, I never liked the narrative that women beyond 50 are somehow in “decline”.

That we should expect less.
Move less.
Eat less.
Shrink.

It never sat right with me.

What I see again and again is that women are warriors, and they need proper support.

One of the most powerful forms of support is food.

Not extreme diets. Not restriction.
Just consistent, nourishing meals that stabilise energy, support hormones, and keep the body functioning well.

Food is one of the greatest levers for health.

Alongside yoga, of course.

Why Midweek Matters

Midweek is where real life happens.

Not in January with a new plan.
Not even on retreat.

But on an ordinary Tuesday, when you’re tired and everyone needs feeding.

Lives are busy. Women are stretched. And food has quietly become just another decision to make, another thing to “get done”.

Add to that the food industry engineering ultra-processed products to be convenient, addictive and hard to resist, and you have the perfect storm for poor health.

That’s why I focus on midweek.

Because what you do most days matters far more than what you do occasionally.

A proper breakfast.
A balanced plate.
Something cooked instead of unwrapped.

These things may seem small, but they add up.

Midweek meals are quiet investments in our future selves.

Retreat gives us the space to reset and feel the difference.

Home is where we practice it.
