We have all heard the instructions of an airline attendant reminding us to put on our own oxygen mask before we help anyone else with theirs.

This advice is often used as a metaphor for self care because it expresses why it is so important. It means that if you can't take care of yourself you can’t take care of others. I have been unfortunate to learn this first hand many a time and it’s easy to put our needs on the back burner until we get sick, overwhelmed, or exhausted, and suddenly don't have the energy to care for the people who count on us. That's when we realise we haven't been getting the self care we most need. We begin to understand that taking care of ourselves is neither selfish nor indulgent; it's just practical.

Putting yourself first means that it may be necessary to say no to someone else in order to say yes to yourself. ❤️

Life can often feel like it's on fast forward. We often feel obliged to speed along with it. We find ourselves cramming as much activity as possible into the shortest periods of time because we feel we have to keep up.

Slowing down allows you to not only savor your experiences, but also it allows you to fully focus your attention and energy on the task at hand. Moving at a slower pace lets you get things done more efficiently. Slowing down also lets you be more mindful, deliberate, and fully present. It lets you become more absorbed in whatever it is you are doing.

Slowing down allows you to disconnect from the frenzied pace buzzing around you so you can begin moving at your own pace. Learning to slow down in our fast-moving world can take practice, but if you slow down long enough to try it, you may surprise yourself with how natural and organic living at this pace can be. ❤️

We often think that our best isn't good enough. Your best is always good enough, because it comes from you, and you are always good enough. You only need to fulfill your own potential, and as long as you remain true to that calling, and always do your best to fulfill your purpose, you don't need to expect anything more from yourself.

We always strive to do our best, because when we do we create a life free of regret, knowing we have performed to the best of our ability. This allows us to feel great personal satisfaction in all of our efforts, regardless of how others perceive the outcome.

A lovely testimonial from a recent client of mine who completed my 12 week body transformation programme. I am so thrilled at the many positive changes she’s made in so many areas of her life as well as her well-being. An amazing transformation even at times when she was facing obstacles she continued and never gave up. Well done and thank you for your kind feedback.

“I started a 12 week body transformation programme with Marissa back in May 2021 after putting on so much 'lock down weight.’ I've just finished the programme and have lost an amazing 21Ibs (9.5kgs).

The first thing to state is, this is not a diet! It's a lifestyle shift that, once you master this for your own needs and manage to make that mental shift against bad habits, this will stay with you for life.

The second thing to mention is this is personally tailored to YOU! If I told you to copy the changes I made, or what habits I had to kick, then this wouldn't work for you. We all have our own bad habits and Marissa helps us to see where the change needs to take place in order to improve our relationships with food.

Marissa is an amazing coach and really listens to your issues, problems and concerns. She works so patiently with you so as to truly understand what might be holding you back from achieving your goals.

A great experience and huge changes made for a happier and healthier lifestyle!”

Summer is finally here. Are you drinking enough water?

The human body comprises of around 60% water. It’s commonly recommended that you drink 8 ounce (237ml) glasses of water per day (the 8x8 rule). However there is little science behind this, staying hydrated is important.

Here is a simple equation to help you determine how much water you need to consume daily: Divide your weight by two. For example, if your weight is 150lbs, then you need to drink 75 ounces of water per day (equivalent to 10 cups).

The first way to balance your blood sugar is to drink more water. It helps to decrease cravings and increase energy.

Other benefits of water include but are not limited to:

✨ Carrying nutrients to your cells
✨ Flushing out toxins
✨ Supporting healthy kidneys
✨ Cushioning your joints
✨ Reducing inflammation
✨ Regulating your body temperature and metabolism
✨ Slows signs of ageing

A few tips for drinking more water:

💦 Add slices of lemon, lime, cucumber or orange to add flavour
💦 Drink one or two glasses of water in the morning to hydrate after fasting all night
💦 Take a small sip of water before, during, and after exercise

Did you know that dehydration has been linked to poor mood and fatigue?

Best to start drinking up ❤️

If ever there was sceptic on what Marissa was offering, I was it!

She told me about this programme back in 2019 and I was curious as to who would want that sort of service. Fast forward to this year, specifically after the Lock Down of 2020, and here I was calling her for help. I had put on so much weight and had lost all motivation to do anything about it.

I was still sceptical, but she offered me a free initial consultation to explain what it was all about and what I could expect. Desperate to lose the weight and to get my mojo to life back, I signed up!

I’m now seven weeks into the programme and, not only have I lost a whopping 14Ibs / 6.35kg, I’ve also got more energy and my love of food and exciting new recipes has excelled… and I haven’t given anything up! The stupid thing about this is it’s so easy!! Marissa keeps me on track week after week. Don’t get me wrong, I had one week where I lost enthusiasm and found it tough, but Marissa listened, encouraged and reminded me how far I had come up until that point. I kept going and lost another 4Ibs in that one week!

If you’re struggling with your weight and have tried many, many diets thinking ‘why is this so different, it won’t work just like all the rest’, I can honestly say this DOES work!! Forget about calorie counting; forget about keeping a log of everything you eat, drink and how many calories you’re burning from a particular exercise. You can enjoy the foods you love, go out with friends and STILL lose weight.

Marissa is fantastic and I can’t recommend her enough!

Many of us recognise that we are people pleasers even though we don’t want to be. We say yes to parties we don’t want to go to, tasks that don’t fall under our job description, and weekend getaways with friends that we can’t afford.

Despite not wanting to be a people pleaser, you continue to fill the role because you don’t want to hurt people’s feelings. You don’t want people thinking you’re rude or disrespectful.

The thing is that you’re actually disrespecting yourself if you continue to do things out of fear or a sense of obligation.

Why we people please?

✨ Desire to avoid conflict
✨ Learned it was our role in our childhood
✨ Our self worth is tied to helping others
✨ We receive praise
✨ We have not figured out our boundaries
✨ Want to help others but don’t want to be helped

Tips on how to set better boundaries are:

✨ Get crystal clear on your priorities
✨ Communicate what you will and will not tolerate
✨ Listen to your gut instinct
✨ Think about the impact of your actions
✨ Do things because they make you feel good
✨ Offer an alternative
✨ Be direct and firm with your answer

I know it’s hard to stick up for yourself when you don’t agree with someone or don’t want to do what they’re asking you.
But you have to set boundaries with your time and your energy. There’s no need to deplete your emotional, mental, and physical energy on something that doesn’t align with your values.

Remember sometimes saying no is saying yes to YOU ❤️

One of the most difficult things is finding motivation to start and stick to new habits. Here are 7 tips to get motivated to work out and be healthier, which will help you actually stick to your new, healthy habits and STAY motivated!

If you have never heard of a SMART goal, SMART stands for:

* Specific (simple, sensible, significant)
* Measurable (meaningful, motivating)
* Achievable (agreed, attainable)
* Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced, results-based)
* Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited, timely, time-sensitive)

You need to set goals for yourself that you can actually achieve, because if you set yourself up for failure, you won’t get motivated to work out and you definitely won’t stay motivated. Here are a few tips to help you:

✨ Writing down your goals is extremely helpful.
✨Get a friend or family member to support and cheerlead you on your new workout routine.
✨ Moderation is key! Please don’t go too extreme at the beginning with your new workout routine - you more bound to stick to your new habits when you make small adjustments. Slow and steady wins the race.
✨ Treat yourself - having small rewards for yourself is 100% ok. After you have hit your exercise goal, maybe indulge in your favorite dessert. Just don’t do it daily.
✨ Sometimes spending a little money and actually investing in yourself (I.e new gym clothing, a personal trainer) can help you get motivated to work out and stay motivated.
✨ You need to pick workouts that are relatively fun for YOU! There are many different styles of workouts out there. You simply need to try them all out to see what you enjoy. Also, the more that you workout, the more you train your brain to actually enjoy it.
✨ Set aside time every week for your exercise. If you don’t pick a time window daily/weekly to work out and you “wing it”, you won’t likely do it.

When it comes to healthy eating one of the hardest things to do is stop unnecessary snacking. Also known as boredom snacking or over snacking.

Snacking is just so easy to do, and when you have been trying so hard to start an eating plan or achieve your fitness goals, it can cause a lot of stress.

There are a few methods you can implement that will help stop this habit for good.

Here’s a few tips you can use to help you actively stop unnecessary snacking.

✨Eat proper meals - this is extremely important. People often indulge in snacking because they haven’t had a good meal. Make sure it’s balanced, filling and nutritious.

✨ Follow a meal plan - create a detailed meal plan for each of your main meals for the whole week. Don’t skip meals as this will cause you to snack more.

✨ Plan your day - another name for unnecessary snacking is boredom snacking. The best way to avoid this is to plan your day. Give it some structure so you less prone to snack if and when you get bored.

✨ Do not overstock on snacks - get rid of the snacks you have in your house because they are not doing you any good. By buying so many snacks you making it so easy and accessible to keep on snacking.

✨ Reflect before you snack - ask yourself: Am I really hungry? How hungry am I? Why am I hungry?

✨ Eat a healthy snack - if you find yourself constantly snacking when bored, one of the reasons it’s so easy to keep snacking multiple times is because none of those snacks are serving their purpose: to fill you up. Your snacks should also be nutritious so that they can give you the energy you need and have a good balance of food groups that fill you up and satisfy you for long. For example, eating snacks that are high in protein will help you feel more full.

The most key takeaway is about understanding your hunger cues to stop you from snacking, properly fuelling your body with food and occupying yourself when bored.

Just know that with determination, you will be able to do it ❤️

This client is going from strength to strength with both her personal and professional goals and I’m loving seeing all these positive changes. Love working together on her journey. Thank you for the kind feedback. ❤️

In today’s fast-paced world, chronic stress is common, but your mind and body can pay a high price. Here’s a few little daily tips on how to stress less ❤️

✨ Manage your time - create short lists for the day ahead and try not to be too rigid with your schedule.
✨ Prepare for the day - take 10 mins out each evening to plan for the next day.
✨ Enjoy the little things - slow down and enjoy the moment you in.
✨ Move often - a 10 mins walk can be as beneficial as a 45 mins workout to relieve anxiety.
✨ Laugh often - laughing releases endorphins that improve mood and immune health.
✨ Enjoy nature and creativity - spending time outdoors is a natural antidepressant.
✨ Breathe deeply - take 5 mins to breathe slowly and deeply when you feeling anxious.

Negative thoughts can be so draining.

If you give in to your negative thoughts more often, they become stronger and louder, circling round in your head. Eventually the negativity increasing inside of you can quickly become toxic therefore stopping and holding you back from living a full life.

When we learn how to overcome toxic thoughts, our life will be happier, full of positivity, and living on the brighter side of life.

Toxic thoughts can become a habit, and we are more likely to pay attention to negativity, sadness, anger, hate, pain, and failure than happiness, comfort, joy, peace, and gratitude.

The good news is there are ways to overcome toxic thoughts that you can try:

✨ Surround yourself with positivity whether that be people or things that make you happy.
✨ Be kind to yourself, appreciate yourself more and talk yourself up.
✨ Create a healthy lifestyle by fuelling yourself with good exercise and nutrition.
✨ Find good in every situation.

Learn to be optimistic and improve your being by allowing positivity to shape your thoughts and attitude. Stay positive and always think happy thoughts ❤️

Walking can offer numerous health benefits to people of all ages and fitness levels.

Walking is free to do and easy to fit into your daily routine. Using just your body plus a good pair of shoes and maybe a pair of headphones, you can improve your physical and mental health.

Yes, walking counts as a workout and here are 8 benefits on why it’s great for you ❤️

Love these aha moments with clients. My client who suffers with heartburn had to take tablets daily to relieve the pain and hasn’t had heartburn since starting my programme nor felt the need to take any tablets. It’s in moments like these that I love what I do in serving and helping others ❤️ I can’t wait to see her transformation. 🙌🏻

Self care has come to mean all sorts of things, it’s true that spa days, clean eating spring to mind when we think about our self care but if we can strip it back to basics it’s more about the essentials and making time for us when we are struggling.

The morning time can be one of the most productive for our health, and certainly when it comes to losing weight.

Creating morning habits for losing weight does not need to be complicated, or some long drawn out process that takes hours out of your day. Try these healthy morning tips to get you kickstarted on your weight loss journey.

Increase water intake

When we are properly hydrated, the cells in our bodies can function as they should which means the process of fat burning is working.

Keeping a glass of water at the bedside for when you wake is one of the easiest way to increase how much water you’re drinking.

High protein breakfast

The type of breakfast you eat in the morning plays a huge role on weather you’re burning fat from your body or sugar in your blood.

If you eat a high protein breakfast you’ll:

✨Burn fat easier
✨Keep your fat storage hormone off
✨Stay fuller for longer
✨Regulate hunger hormones

Morning Walk

5-10 minutes of a brisk walk in the morning will significantly help with weight loss so instead of hitting the snooze button head out for that walk.

Meditation

Meditation has many health benefits such as:

✨Low blood pressure
✨Relaxed nervous system
✨Greater self-control
✨Calm mind.

Meditation has been shown to enhance how mindful we are of what we eat.  In other words, we understand how much to eat and we know when we’re full.

The result, of course, is that we eat less and lose weight.

Exercise  
Working out at this time of day has been shown to increase the amount hormones in the body (HGH) that directly relate to how much fat you burn.  A short HIIT workout of around 20 minutes or less will do just the trick.

Tracking

Taking a few moments to plan out your food intake in the morning may seem like a chore to begin with, but over time will pay off for you.

Preparing and making lunch will also stop you from reaching out for high sugar/fat convenient foods.

Why be mindful?

Mindfulness practices can help us to increase our ability to regulate emotions, decrease stress, anxiety and depression.

It can also help us to focus our attention, as well as to observe our thoughts and feelings without judgment.

When we pay attention, in the present, we can do more of what we want ❤️

You’re allowed to step back. You’re allowed to pause when everyone’s running around. You’re allowed to realise halfway through that you need to stop. You’re allowed to change your mind. You’re allowed to start over. You’re allowed to set your own pace.

✨ Do you lack energy and motivation?
✨ Feel emotionally overwhelmed and negative?
✨ Find it hard to focus and concentrate?
✨ Do you get upset when minor setbacks or inconveniences occur?
✨ Do you find yourself no longer enjoying your favourite hobbies as much?

If any of the above resonates with you, it might be time for a break and that you need to pay attention to your mind and body to avoid burnout.

Taking breaks means setting boundaries and if you cannot stop completely, set boundaries that provide small breaks. ❤️

Do you feel guilty for taking time just for you?

You’ll have more patience, more focus and more clarity, once you take care of you!

Just an hour or so a day, to focus on self care is all it takes. Do something you love- take a hike, read a book, write a journal, start a new hobby, declutter. Your priorities will all be there when you’re done. They’re not going anywhere… unfortunately.

Proper self care can improve productivity and reduce physical and mental exhaustion so start to make time for you ❤️

Self-sabotage comes in many different forms such as procrastination, perfectionism, defensiveness, or fear of success.

It also could be common unhealthy habits, such as smoking, overeating, drinking too much, and neglecting to exercise.

Often self-sabotage comes from core beliefs about our own worth.

Do you find that the initial excitement of something new is frequently replaced by a loss of motivation or fear of failure? If so, you are not alone.

✨ Want to learn specific techniques for changing the habits that do not serve you well?
✨ Help make changes to your health and appreciate the huge benefits of small improvements.
✨ Underlying self-sabotaging habits are core beliefs about your value. Help identify these beliefs - for example, that you do not deserve to do well.
✨ Provide support as you challenge negative beliefs about yourself that may come from past experiences.
✨ Help you form better habits that serve you and your well-being.
✨ Help with keeping you motivated so when you experience setbacks you can do so without anger or shame and keep working towards your goals.

Does the above resonate with you?

Together, we will work towards understanding what prevents you from moving forward, how to free yourself from being stuck and learn how to create sustainable change while staying true to your values and beliefs. Change can be daunting, but by taking a proactive approach, you will be on the right path to achieving your goals.

Through the sessions you will learn techniques for breaking habits that prevent you from being your better self. You will learn to challenge the thoughts and emotions that motivate you to act against your best interests. You will learn about self acceptance and helping you become the best version of you!

How to start exercising when you really don’t want to...

I know exercise isn’t for everyone but to help you start and feel more motivated to moving more it’s worth exploring the following:

✨ What exercise/workouts have you enjoyed in the past?
✨ What was your favorite way to play as a child?
✨ Did you enjoy any sport or activity in school?
✨ What is your favorite Olympic event to watch?
✨ If you could go back to your childhood, what sport would you involve yourself in?
✨ What types of activities do you encourage your kids to do?

Was there any movement that stood out to you? If so, great!

If not, don’t sweat it. If sports or any form of exercise wasn’t part of your childhood - that’s ok too. We all have to start somewhere. You can always start easy with a simple walking regime with some podcasts/music to pass your time and build momentum from there.

The following 3 points can help you make a start to moving more.

✨ Support your goals.
We’re not looking for a quick fix here. This is deeper level stuff which goes beyond weight loss goals. Examine your WHY and make sure your plan points you toward your desired end result. 
✨ Fit into your schedule and budget.
How much time is available for you to exercise? What is your budget for a gym membership?

✨ Make sure it’s something you LIKE to do. You may not absolutely love the exercise but you will be better off to pick an activity which you enjoy or suits your personality. After all, we’re more likely to DO what we enjoy and you’re less prone to quit in the early days.

Remember that any exercise is better than no exercise, even going for a walk and connecting to nature will help and not only be good for your body but good for your mental wellbeing ❤️

Each of us tells ourselves a story about life all the time. Generally speaking, that story can sometimes be rather negative. Sometimes we may feel we have failed ourselves and our efforts don’t matter. Once you think this way you start feeling and acting this way. Your thoughts become your moods and behaviors.

These thoughts of “I’m not enough”, "I can’t do it” or “I don’t think I’ll ever” takes away permission from yourself and prevents you from living your life purpose. Try rejecting those thoughts and replacing them with thoughts that do serve you.

It’s time to take charge of what you think and not let your inner critical self talk influence the way you live. Your thoughts are powerful, focus on the things you like about yourself and feed your brain with positive thoughts and this will slowly build confidence over time. ❤️

Putting our own needs first, while at times difficult, is necessary for our sense of wellbeing. When we have so much going on in our lives, we are unable to concentrate on one thing. This can become chaotic and we can be left feeling disorganised as a result.

Setting our priorities, however, allows us to see what we need to do to achieve our goals. Even though learning to put ourselves first is difficult, in doing so we will be able to establish healthy boundaries for our lives and place our focus on what is most important for our own growth.

Tag someone to let them know that it’s ok to prioritise themselves. ❤️

Yesterday I traveled into London on the underground for the first time since February 2019.

It was eerily quiet in contrast to the hustle and bustle of the crowds I generally encounter. I was impressed by a set of posters on the platforms communicating safety messages to travellers on the London transport network especially the one message saying ‘slow down.’ It really struck a chord with me and made me think about how much the landscape of the City had changed and how we all could do with slowing down.

Soon we will be returning back to a bit of normality, it’s worth considering what that reality would look like and how it will impact our lives. It’s a common human experience for some of us to feel some anxiety or overwhelm.

Here’s a few simple exercises to help you calm overwhelm and feel more present in your thoughts ❤️

Habits matter. If you’ve ever tried breaking a bad habit, you know all too well how engrained they are.

Well, good habits are deeply engrained, too. Why not work on making positive habits part of your daily routine?

Here’s a look at some daily habits to help kickstart your quest.

When we first start dieting and exercising, the pounds seem to melt off. But, we all hit that stagnant point where the last few pounds of belly fat just don't want to budge. Try these 8 morning habits to help you kick start your weight loss.

If you're someone who struggles with excess weight and food habits that don't support you, you most likely already under a lot of stress.

This can show up in taking care of others at the expense of your own wellbeing. Maybe your life always seems like an emergency so you’re internalising the stress and feel like you’re consistently in fight, flight or freeze mode.

The problem is if you're following restrictive diets and have a punishing exercise regime without addressing the core stressors that run your life, losing weight will always feel like an endless uphill battle. You lose a little, it comes right back. You're "good" with your food, then go "off the wagon" when the going gets tough. But what if you could relax your way to weight loss and love your body again? Impossible, you say?

In The 90 day Body Transformation Programme, relaxation is the key to sustainable weight loss and body love. When the body gives itself permission to relax, the hormones balance and you can say goodbye to those extra pounds for good. This programme will show you a path to find making peace with your body that runs deeper than weight loss through self care, managing stress and adopting healthier habits.

✨ No more calorie counting
✨ No more cravings
✨ Beat emotional eating
✨ Make lasting health changes
✨ Balance blood sugar levels
✨ No more punishing exercise regimes
✨ No diet deprivation

“Sometimes our lives have to be completely shaken up, changed and rearranged to relocate us to the place we’re meant to be” ~ Adrianne Hemenway

Do you feel you’ve lost your passion for life, you merely surviving and not thriving?

Life is meant to inspire you, to challenge you and sometimes fear gets in the way of doing what we truly love and desire for ourselves.

✨ Do you often wonder who will be impacted by the changes you make in your life?
✨ Do you know what your blind spot is?
✨ What is stopping you from reaching for what you want?
✨ Are you living your dream or someone else’s dream?
✨ Do you want to turn fear into fuel?
✨ Identify what no longer serves you to have a more happier meaningful life and live in your truth?

Does the above resonate with you?

I can help you.

MY STORY

Have you struggled with stress and anxiety?

I understand the weight and frustration of feeling there is more out there without knowing where to turn to first. I spent years trying to find ways to manage and cope with my stress, only to feel deflated and trapped in a vicious circle.

After meeting a coach at a networking event, I embarked on a 12-week transformation programme and adopted healthier habits through making time for self care and found the tools to manage my stress levels. Due to these amazing results, I felt compelled and inspired to become a life and health coach to help others.

Today’s hectic pace makes it vital to balance our professional and personal lives through self-care in a positive way.

Whether you are prone to fatigue, feel anxious, stressed or adopt a healthier lifestyle, I aim to inspire you to create healthier habits and free yourself from negative thoughts, emotions, and energy patterns that limit you from achieving your health goals.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Everyone can use a little Marissa in their head. If you are in need of getting back to yourself and finding out the reasons for the things you do, self discovery often needs a helping hand. Marissa has a way about her that makes you feel comfortable and at ease talking about yourself, which is difficult for a lot of us. Her passion to help people on their journey is the number one reason that I recommend her services.

I had a few sessions with Marissa during lockdown when I was feeling the stresses of family life, and it definitely helped to highlight many of the issues that I have been pushing away from my mind simply to keep up with everyday life. Having a support person who can be objective and attentive is such a relief when you are used to feeling alone.

Whether it be the racing lifestyle many of us live; unhealthy childhood traumas that affect our lives as adults and often as parents; using food as comfort rather than sustenance, Marissa has a way of listening and holding the mirror up for you. Once you have the opportunity to see the issues, you can assess what is important and how to manage the chaos.

If you are tired of ignoring that voice in your head, make the time to speak to Marissa. Finding a coach who can truly listen, appreciate the details, and keep clarity while unravelling years of complex behaviour is an absolute blessing.

Thank you Marissa for being you, and being so passionate about not only your own, but other people's journey of improving their wellbeing."
