It’s time to take care of you.

Minding Mum is a book about self care and it’s aimed at mums in particular. Its an amazing gift book for a new mum but it’s for all mums and the reason I wrote it is because we all need to practice self care and contrary to popular belief it’s not selfish to mind yourself in fact it’s the most self less thing you can do because when you take care of yourself you have so much more of yourself to give to others including time, love and patience.

This book covers everything from nutrition, exercise, mindfulness and meditation, gratitude, stress, work life balance and much more. I also look at body image and the importance of watching how we talk to ourselves, as it’s the root cause of poor self-esteem. It’s a book for any mum who wants to feel good about themselves because I truly believe that our lifestyle habits are the root cause of all our health issues. Making just a few small changes to our daily routines (little happiness habits I like to call them) can have huge positive effects in our day-to-day lives.

We prepare women so well up to the birth of their child and then we leave them to it but I believe that after the baby arrives it is incredibly important to mind yourself after all you need your energy to look after your new baby so things like hydration, good food and rest are really important.
