Tenacious supports women navigating midlife, menopause, and the next chapter of their lives with honesty, encouragement, and practical tools for everyday well-being.
About Me
At 55, I’m navigating a full and vibrant life — balancing work, family, stepchildren, and the joy of grandchildren. My mindfulness journey began when I realised I needed a gentler way to move through the overwhelm, to reconnect with myself beneath the noise, routines and responsibilities that come with midlife.
Mindfulness changed everything for me. It helped me become a more patient parent, a more loving partner, a more compassionate friend — and, most importantly, a calmer, more grounded version of myself.
Now, I’m committed to supporting other women as they find their own sense of clarity and calm. Whether you’re navigating the shifts of midlife, moving through menopause, or simply craving space to feel more like yourself again, you’re so welcome here.
Mindfulness helps me focus on what truly matters — and with the right gentle guidance, even the smallest shifts can lead to powerful, positive change.
A gentle, grounded space for women in midlife
Tenacious Wellness is a supportive space for women moving through stress, anxiety, and the ever-shifting seasons of midlife.
Everything we offer is rooted in lived experience and chosen with care. Each product has been personally selected because it made a meaningful difference on my own journey — offering clarity, easing overwhelm, and helping me move forward with purpose through menopause, emotional transitions, and daily responsibilities.
Our Four Pillars — Food, Movement, Meditation & Sleep — gently guide every decision we make.
By nurturing each of these foundations with kindness and intention, you can build balance, strength and a deeper sense of wellbeing.
As Tenacious continues to grow, so will our collection — more products, more space to be heard, and more ways to feel supported in body, mind, and soul.

Meditation

Movement

Sleep
Rest deeply so you can rise feeling restored.
The four-week mindful reset has been a total journey. I have loved having these emails drop into my inbox every day. They have changed the way I think and helped me prioritise myself, be mindful of my needs, and recognise what's important in life.
The Gloss shampoo and conditioner. What gorgeous products. In midlife, my hair has become dry and dull. These will be my new staples. Lovely to use, smells gorgeous and delighted with the results.
The Jute & Cotton Reversible bag. I'm so impressed! The attention to detail is incredible. I love the pocket on the front, perfect for my phone. The Jute feels sturdy and well-made. I will definitely be ordering again in a different colour.
Teak Chopping board. Great value for money. The product works perfectly and looks amazing. Highly recommend!
I ordered the sun protection stick. Outstanding quality and service. This has become my go-to brand; it has a light tint, which is perfect as a base for my make-up if I am going out. But on a beach day, it's all I wear. Thank you!
I tried the timeless renewal cream. I found the product to be amazing. As a 53-year-old woman, my skin is at a stage where nothing seems to work anymore, and my makeup doesn't sit right on it. When I started using the timeless renewal cream, I found my skin no longer had menopausal breakouts, and it feels tighter and smoother. So happy I discovered this.
