GROW GRACEFULL

Your monthly infusion of good stuff

Hello Reader,

I hope you're well and not too red-skinned from all this amazing weather we've been having (in the UK anyway!). There is a subtle red-theme to this newsletter with a focus on RED-S. And read on to hear why I have red eyes...

... from staring too long at my laptop! (Do as I say, not as I do! ;-)). I've been hard at work revamping my website to reflect the more holistic nature of the services I offer, as well as producing a number of new products and free 'Flow Foundation' resources. It's still a work in progress, but have a nosey here in it's un-formatted form if you want (and sign up to the resources?). I'd also be really keen to ask your opinion on the homepage tagline...

Thanks so much! Open to other suggestions too!

I'm also a big step closer to officially launching my affiliate programme. I really see the Gracefull services as complimenting the work of coaches/ clubs/ therapists/ brands, and if we're on the same wavelength, it would be great to arrange a chat about how we can work together. Here's some more info:

If you click above it will tag you as being interested and I'll be in touch again soon (no hard-selling, just more info)

As ever, read on for up-coming events and hidden discounts🤫. Be great to connect...

Go Gracefully,

​I love getting the Project RED-S newsletter. Each edition charts their incredible progress and shares their ever-evolving resources (plus discount codes for Huel 😋). From volunteer service offered by the huge-hearted founder (Pippa Woolven) to help others avoid her fate, to a trailblazing and life-changing source of information and support. There are sections tailored to the athlete and to their support team. They've also just developed a nifty energy checker tool to see if you're (inadvertently?) at risk.

To further prompt and support, here's some powerful, creative non-fiction from this month's impressive BMC webinar: Stories of Sport Injury and Disordered Eating by Freya Davis. You can get the full recording and resources here.

Also:

This month on my online S&C and mentoring Grow programme we looked at Maintaining Motivation, Maintaining a Healthy Weight and Balancing Life's Pressures - as well as doing out 120 day Goal review. LOVED hearing lessons learned, pledges and plans! For full copies of the presentations and recordings feel free to contact me.

What our Gracelets Say...

Hear what Amelie and her dad think of our Grow, online S&C and mentoring, programme.​

I'm a big fan of Phily Bowden. This hilarious instagram post was about her London Marathon build-up. She also has a hugely popular YouTube channel on which she candidly shares the ups and downs of being an elite athlete with equal measures of wisdom and wit. 'Love the Grind' is her tagline. Great person to follow - especially younger athletes.
