Empowering women to thrive during perimenopause.
“You are not broken. You are mighty beyond measure. Let’s get your hormones back on your side, so you can emerge from this transition as your most magnificent self!”.
Hi, I'm Louise
I’m a women’s health coach dedicated to helping midlife women feel energised, balanced, and confident again. After experiencing my own struggles with perimenopause, I realised how many women were being told to just “push through” their exhaustion and mood swings. That’s when I decided to create a more compassionate, science-backed approach to support women through this transition.
Through my signature programme, The Peri Protocol, and my workshops, I help women understand what’s really happening in their bodies, manage stress effectively, and make simple lifestyle shifts that restore energy and calm. My mission is to help you feel like yourself again — vibrant, clear, and in control.

How to Pack Light for the Perfect Mini Break
There’s something magical about a mini break. A few days away from your usual routine, a change of scenery, good food, long walks, and that feeling of being slightly untethered from everyday life.
But somehow the packing part always feels… chaotic. Suddenly the “just a few days away” trip turns into a suitcase situation that would survive a two-week holiday.
The truth? You probably need way less than you think.
Learning to pack lightly doesn’t just make travel easier, it makes the whole experience feel calmer, more spontaneous, and a lot more fun.
✈️ Packing Light Is Easier Than You Think.

🔥 That One Bag Will Change Everything
Packing Light Is Easier Than You Think.
Packing light isn’t about restriction or sacrificing style. It’s about being intentional.
Instead of throwing options into a suitcase “just in case”, you build a small collection of pieces that work together effortlessly.
Think layers. Think versatility. Think outfits that can go from a morning coffee walk to dinner without needing a full wardrobe change.
Once you start packing this way, travelling becomes a lot simpler, and honestly, a lot more enjoyable.
Take my recent trip to Madeira...
On a recent trip to Madeira, I challenged myself to pack in just one small bag.
No “backup” outfits. No extra shoes I’d probably never wear. Just the essentials.
And you know what? I didn’t miss anything.
Having fewer choices actually made the trip easier. Getting dressed took seconds, my bag was light enough to carry anywhere, and I never had that annoying moment of digging through layers of things I didn’t need.
It was proof that packing light isn’t about doing without, it’s about travelling smarter.
The Absolute Essentials
For most short trips, my packing list barely changes.
A versatile dress or two, a comfortable pair of trainers, a lightweight jumper, sleepwear, and a simple jacket that works with everything.
Toiletries stay minimal and travel-sized, and I always pack a reusable tote for beach days, market runs, or spontaneous shopping.
When everything works together, a tiny bag suddenly feels more than enough.
My Go-To Packing List:
Clothing
1 travel outfit (comfy but cute)
1 versatile dress or outfit for evenings
1 lightweight jumper or cardigan
1 jacket or coat depending on the weather
1 extra top
1 pair of comfortable trainers
Sleepwear
Underwear + socks
Toiletries
Toothbrush + toothpaste
Travel-size skincare essentials
Deodorant
Hairbrush or comb
Minimal makeup (if needed)
Essentials
Phone + charger
Passport or ID
Sunglasses
Small crossbody bag
Reusable tote bag
Extras (Optional but handy)
Kindle or book
Reusable water bottle
Compact umbrella
Hair clip or scrunchie
Lip balm
“Travel isn’t about how much you bring with you — it’s about how much freedom you leave room for.”
That One Bag Will Change Everything
There’s something incredibly freeing about travelling with just one bag.
No dragging heavy suitcases through train stations. No waiting around at baggage carousels. No stress about what you packed or didn’t pack.
Just grab your bag and go.
It turns travel into something lighter, physically and mentally.
And once you experience that kind of simplicity, it’s hard to go back.
3 Key Factors To Finding Your Perfect Mini-Break Bag:
Size matters (but smaller is better): your bag should be big enough for essentials but small enough that overpacking isn’t an option.
Comfort is everything: if you’ll be walking through airports, train stations, or cobbled streets, a comfortable strap and lightweight design are essential.
Style you actually love: a bag you genuinely love to carry makes the whole experience feel better. Function matters, but so does feeling good with it.
Mini breaks are meant to feel easy, spontaneous, and refreshing.
Packing lightly helps you lean into that energy, less stress, less stuff, and more room to actually enjoy where you are.
So next time you’re heading off for a few days away, try taking less than you think you need.
You might be surprised by how much better the trip feels.
Bon voyage!
