My skincare routine is clean and low maintenance. Alongside consuming lots of water and electrolytes, I tend to opt for water-based products like Tatcha’s The Water Cream. SPF designed for darker skin is also essential.

If you’re just starting your self-care journey, take your time. Know why you are starting this, how and what you want to feel, and start building your mental health toolkit. It’s important to know that wellness has so many dimensions, so explore them all at a pace that works for you and your lifestyle.

I’ve said it already, but breathwork is a powerful and easily accessible wellness practice. It harnesses the transformative power of conscious breathing to enhance physical wellbeing, mental clarity and emotional resilience. It’s steeped in ancient history and offers a profound journey of self-discovery and healing, fostering inner peace and holistic wellness. I used breathwork unknowingly for years. It was something my mum was incredibly strict on growing up and, quite honestly, it was crucial in my son’s birth too. It really helps maintain composure and clarity in this challenging world. 

I swear by easily accessible wellness habits. For example, the power of water, hydration and hydrotherapy. Water is known to bring pain relief. I learnt this truly through active labour. It’s important to know the structure of water, and how teamed with electrolytes and electrolyte replacements as well as vitamins and minerals it can support a better or more well life. Also, being close to nature is almost like free therapy.

Magnesium and vitamin D supplements are my non-negotiables. But I’m actually convinced that most ailments start with poor hydration and stress. I take hydration supplements and breathe before seeking out anything else. 

I’m definitely a mobile massage kind of person. It doesn’t make the most sense to me to get into a zen state only then to have to brace London afterwards – so I like to use Urban Massage in London or I book directly with Sophie from MBD London. Next on my list to try is London’s AIRE Ancient Baths because hammams are super underrated outside of the Middle East and Mediterranean. 

There are so many inspiring wellness girls to follow online. I have to shout out @SoulBodyByPhoebe, @Wellness_By_Georgina, @Rayanna.Raye and @MyNameIsJessamyn for bringing inclusive representation and techniques to social media and into studio settings.
