My Daily Wellness Routine: Finding Balance as a Busy Mum
As a mum of two boys, life is non-stop, but I’ve learned how important it is to prioritise my wellness. My routine isn’t about perfection—I don’t always hit every goal every single day—but it helps me stay grounded, energised, and feeling my best. Here’s how I structure my day to fit it all in while balancing the chaos of family life.
Early Morning: Energising for the Day Ahead
My day starts before the house wakes up, giving me a little quiet time to focus on myself. The first thing I do is a quick tongue scrape, which is a simple Ayurvedic practice to remove toxins from my tongue and feel refreshed. It’s small, but it sets the tone for my morning.
Next, it’s time to hit the gym. Whether it’s a high-intensity session or some strength training, this is my time to move my body, clear my mind, and get those endorphins flowing. A good workout in the morning leaves me feeling accomplished before the day even begins.
Before I jump in the shower, I grab my body brush for a quick session. I love how invigorating it feels—it gets my circulation going and stimulates my lymphatic system. It’s also fantastic for exfoliating and keeping my skin glowing. I also make time for a quick Lymphatic Drainage Sequence, a simple but effective series of movements that help get my lymphatic system flowing. (You can find this on my YouTube channel). After that, it’s straight into the shower, feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.
After Work: Detox and Unwind
Once my workday is done, I carve out some time to decompress. This is when I use my infrared sauna—a few sessions a week. The deep heat is incredible for flushing out toxins, reducing inflammation, and easing any tension I’ve built up during the day. It’s not just about physical benefits; it’s a chance to reset my mind too.
Throughout the Day: Fuel and Hydration
When it comes to food, I keep it simple and nourishing, focusing on high-protein, minimally processed meals. It’s not about being restrictive; it’s about eating in a way that supports my energy levels so I can keep up with my boys and my work.
I also make sure to drink 3 litres of hydrogen water each day. Staying hydrated is a must for me, especially with everything I have going on—it keeps me energised, my skin glowing, and my body functioning at its best.
Evening: Time to Recharge
Once the kids are in bed, it’s finally my time to wind down. I always fit in a few minutes of red light therapy before bed. It’s calming, restorative, and helps me switch off after a long day. It’s such a small practice, but it makes a big difference to how well I sleep.
Keeping It Real
I’ll be the first to admit, life doesn’t always go to plan. Some mornings are hectic, some evenings I’m too tired to do anything extra—but that’s okay. Wellness isn’t about perfection; it’s about consistency and doing the best you can with the time you have.
For me, this routine is about more than just staying healthy—it’s about showing up as the best version of myself for my family, my clients, and for me. It’s not always easy, but I’ve found a rhythm that works, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
If you’re thinking of creating your own routine, start small and build on it. Find what feels good for you, and remember that it’s not about being perfect—it’s about making the effort, every day.
