Favourite Things
A curated collection of the books, tools and gentle wellbeing products
that support my daily rhythms.
These are the things that support my daily rhythms — the small rituals, nourishing ingredients and thoughtful books that help me move through midlife with more steadiness and ease.
My Favourite Books
I’ve gathered the books below because each one has supported me in my own wellbeing journey — through gut health, nourishment, nervous system support and finding a gentler way to care for myself. These aren’t just “good reads”; they’re the books that helped me understand my body more deeply, soften my approach to food, and feel more grounded in midlife. If you’re looking for guidance that feels warm, practical and reassuring, these are the ones I return to again and again.
Undieting by Lisa Kilgour
I love this book as it opened my eyes to how we are influenced by marketing and how we unlearned to trust our own bodies.
Undieting: Freedom from the Bewildering World of Fad Diets is a unique, realistic, and approachable guide to breaking the cycle of dieting forever.
Sopies Plant Kitchen
I highly recommend Soph's recipes are easy to follow with ingredients that are readily available.
A qualified personal trainer with a passion for food, Sophie knows the vital role diet - and particularly eating plenty of protein and fibre.
The Happy Pear
I absolutely love their recipes and community spirit and of course sea swimming.
David and Stephen Flynn, the twins behind the Happy Pear cafés and food business, know it can be challenging to juggle everything and still feel inspired!
Eat Yourself Healthy
Megan makes gut health science understandable.
Megan Rossi explains how to feed your gut for a happier, healthier you using simple, delicious and gut-boosting recipes.
I sometimes recommend products, tools, books and resources that I personally use, love or trust. Some of these links are affiliate links (Amazon, Dr Vegan, Mother Cuppa, Eqology etc) which means we may earn a small commission if you choose to make a purchase, at no extra cost to you.
This helps support my work and allows us to continue creating warm, accessible content, rituals and resources for this community.
My wellbeing essentials — the things I use, trust and return to
I choose these wellbeing essentials because they genuinely support my own daily rhythms. They’re the things I reach for when I need more steadiness, energy or calm — simple, trustworthy tools that help me feel more like myself. I only share what I personally use, love and return to, in the hope they might gently support you too.
Mother Cuppa Teas
Mother Cuppa teas are blended by a tea sommelier specifically for women, with supportive blends for each part of the day.
I love that they’re a female‑owned, sustainable social enterprise using natural, biodegradable ingredients. Everything else I share here follows the same idea: simple things I use, trust and return to.
Eqology - Omega 3
Eqology’s oils and tests are part of my own wellbeing rhythm because they’re high‑quality and third‑party tested.
Their Omega‑3 and Vitamin D3/K2 genuinely support energy, mood and overall balance.
I only share them because they’re something I personally use, trust and return to.
Tisserand Essential Oils
I love Tisserand for their gentle, grounding aromatherapy blends. They’re a British company creating beautifully made oils that offer simple moments of calm, focus or rest throughout the day — little supports I reach for often.
