I don't just work for mums, I work with them, for the very simple reason that Mumpreneurs, WAHM's or whatever pigeon hole you want to put us in... ROCK at getting the job done. Mums Rock. I know, someone else invented that strap-line before me, but they do. I love being a mum & I bloody love helping other mums, every single day & from all around the world, to find their body confidence … [Read more...]
Is MuTu Food A Diet? What are the rules? Will it help you lose weight? What foods should you eat & what should you avoid if you want lose weight & get healthy?

What's your memory of sports at school? How high was your body confidence, how positive was your self image? Did you bounce in every day, hockey stick over your shoulder, full of healthy competitive energy & confidence? If you were, do you relate to that girl now? Or if you weren't, do you feel like you're still 'just not sporty' to this day? A client inspired me to think about this … [Read more...]
Women & their body image often stems from a lack of body confidence & a struggle to find the motivation to change. Female body image is a minefield, one I have written about before... but this isn't about the media, or the portrayal of perfect bodies. This is about YOU! I hear from women who don't like the way their body looks & feels, especially after having babies. Losing baby … [Read more...]
Sadly, most women (myself included) have struggled at some time & on some level with body image & the idea of beauty. The ludicrous & dishonest portrayal of women's beauty in the media doesn't help any. None of us are unaffected by these images, however hard we try, & our young daughters, terrifyingly, certainly aren't. For me the most poignant aspect of this issue is quite how … [Read more...]
The portrayal of female (& especially new mum) body image in the media is bombarded at us through TV ads, magazines & the internet - One message: "GET THIN!" Especially when it comes to post-baby celebrity weight loss, we're made to feel even more inadequate & in need of assistance. "Thin". Not exactly an aspirational word is it? Not very sexy or happy sounding. More kind of weak. … [Read more...]
You may have noticed a link on this website before to a charity called The Campaign to End Fistula. Can I tell you a bit more about it? Because their work is really REALLY important. Obstetric fistula is a hole in the birth canal caused by prolonged labour without prompt medical intervention, usually a Caesarean section. The woman is left with chronic incontinence and, in most cases, a … [Read more...]
Just recently we heard how celebrity mums swore by a miracle cream to banish your mummy tummy. And this week one of my clients brought a newspaper article to my attention, with the question, "Is this kind of weight loss realistic? Or even possible?" (A 40 year-old female newsreader loses 2 stone of babyweight... fast). Despite feeling perfectly "intelligent and reasonably well informed about diet … [Read more...]
I came across an amazing site today called The Shape of a Mother which celebrates 'making normal bodies normal again'. Women contribute blog posts about, & pictures of, their bodies so that other women - & even more importantly their daughters - see what real womens' bodies look like. One of my favourite bloggers Mammywoo also posted recently about her tummy, her stretch marks & the … [Read more...]
I've been checking out other mums' self portraits on Tara's Sticky Fingers Gallery... Many have referred to having different feelings about their photographed-selves since having children, with some gorgeously un-selfconscious mummy moments! I often feel as defined by my passion/job, as I am by being a mum. Both are literally the air I breathe & both make me very happy. But while the … [Read more...]
