All The Wellness Rituals A Mindset Coach Swears By

For Everyday Supplements…

Healf is my favourite – it stocks high-quality brands that aren’t always easy to find in the UK. Holland & Barrett and Boots also carry excellent, reliable options. I always see supplements as supporting the foundation, not replacing it, but magnesium is one I buy time and again – it supports sleep and the nervous system. 

For Nourishing Food…

When I want to feel my best, I keep my food simple and consistent. I’m much more mindful now of under-eating and over-restricting, something I did for years without realising the impact it was having. From a nervous system perspective, restriction signals scarcity, which drives stress hormones up. I focus on adding nourishment rather than taking things away, and I always try to include fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut, plus herbs and spices where I can. In London, anywhere from the Pachamama Group always works for me – the food is nourishing but still indulgent, and I leave feeling energised rather than heavy.

For Eating On-The-Go…

I rely on Atis, The Good Life Eatery, Daylesford, Ottolenghi salad boxes, Farmer J and Pure – quick, balanced meals that don’t send my energy crashing. 

For Smoothies & Matcha…

Tease is my go-to and I’m there most days for matcha. I gave up coffee last year, which made a huge difference to my anxiety levels. Matcha or green tea works better for me because the caffeine release feels steadier – and I never have it on an empty stomach, which is a cortisol spike waiting to happen. I also love Açaí Girls for smoothies and bowls when I want energy that still feels good for digestion and skin health.

For Balanced Movement…

My approach to exercise has completely shifted. I used to think more was always better, but too much high-intensity training just spiked my cortisol and left me exhausted. Now, I focus on movement that supports my nervous system and works with my hormones, not against them. I go to Enmei for strength training – its megaformer classes are incredible for building muscle and posture. The Method is my go-to when I want a mood boost – whether it’s dance-led or something slower, I always leave smiling. I also love hot yoga and mat Pilates at Heartcore and Hotspot for grounding and flexibility. And if I need pure fun and endorphins, a themed Boom Cycle class with a playlist I can sing along to always does the trick.

For Glowing Skin…

It’s a three-way split between Sarah Chapman, Dr Rasha and FaceGym. Sarah Chapman facials are incredible for instant results – they boost circulation, deeply cleanse the skin and deliver a glow people immediately comment on. I go to Dr Rasha for more advanced treatments like BBL Moxi and microneedling. BBL Moxi improves pigmentation, texture and collagen production, while microneedling supports long-term firmness and skin renewal. There can be some downtime, but the results are worth it for long-term skin health. If I’m feeling puffy or holding tension in my jaw, I head to FaceGym. I see Eimhear at the Chelsea branch and always add the buccal massage – it releases jaw tension, reduces facial bloating and even helps with headaches.

For Spa Escapes…

Rebase is unbeatable for contrast therapy and recovery. Alternating heat and cold improves circulation, reduces inflammation and builds both physical and mental resilience. For something more immersive, I love AIRE Ancient Baths. The Roman-style bathing experience promotes deep relaxation and total escapism. The spa at DAMU is another standout. Its signature ritual combines zero-gravity flotation, sound therapy, chromotherapy and vibration healing – it’s a complete nervous system reset.

For Spiritual Recalibration…

I see Emily Halil once or twice a year for tarot. I think intuition is key but tarot can be a beautiful way to reflect, gain clarity and feel reassured you’re on the right path. I’m also about to start reiki with Jenny Adam, a wonderful practitioner based in Clapham. Reiki supports energetic balance, stress reduction and emotional wellbeing, and I’m really looking forward to starting.

For Destination Wellness…

One of the best experiences I’ve had was visiting Mayrlife in Austria and Lanserhof in Germany. Both focus on gut health, recovery and longevity, and taught me sustainable habits around digestion, energy and long-term wellbeing that I still rely on today.
