My Journey from Anxious, Unfit & Unhealthy to Fit, Strong & Calm

Hi, I’m Jessica.

I’m a certified personal trainer, breathwork teacher and host of the I’m Done, Now What? podcast.

A few years ago, I felt stuck, just like you might be feeling now.

I was unfit, feeling unhealthy and out of shape. My clothes were tight, my skin was red and puffy, and I was exhausted.

I was working long hours while trying to take care of my family and home. I was staying up too late, struggling to make time for workouts, and I had no boundaries or time for myself.

I really wanted to become fit and feel really good, but I kept going around in circles.

Then one day, I had a big realisation.

You can’t build healthy habits on shaky foundations.

Think about a house. If the foundations aren’t strong, it’s going to crumble, no matter how nice the house is.

And I realised my healthy habits were the same.

I was trying to build healthy habits on foundations of stress, overwhelm and an all-or-nothing mindset.

When I started working on those foundations — reducing my stress and overwhelm and letting go of the all-or-nothing mindset — the habits I had found so hard started to feel simple and natural.

That’s why I created Thrive Academy — to help women over 40 build those foundations, become fit, strong and calm in body and mind, and stop going around in circles.

I’ve been helping women with their health and fitness for 19 years, and I’ve helped hundreds of women make real changes.

If you’re feeling stuck the way I was, Thrive Academy is for you.

what Clients are saying

"What I like most is that it’s simple and realistic. There’s no extreme dieting or feeling like you’re being punished.

One of the things I appreciate most is that there’s no calorie tracking, no weighing of food, and no pressure to step on the scales. For me, that makes the programme feel incredibly freeing. The focus is on building healthy habits and feeling better, rather than obsessing over numbers.

Since starting, I’ve noticed a real difference in both my body and my mindset. I feel stronger, my clothes are fitting more comfortably, and I feel calmer and clearer in my head. My body feels firmer and more capable, and I have much more energy than I did a few months ago.

One of the biggest advantages for me is how convenient it is. Whether I’m in Ireland, France, or travelling, I can still follow the programme and stay consistent.

Jessica has created a supportive community for women over 40 where the emphasis is on consistency rather than perfection.

I’m delighted I joined Thrive . Four months in, I feel healthier, stronger and more positive, and for the first time in a long time I feel like I’ve found an approach that I can maintain for the long term. I'm not leaving this group #Thriver for life. "

"Joining Thrive Academy was a great decision. I love the convenience and simplicity of it.

I work out 3 times a week in my home. I’ve learned simple tools to deal with stress and calm my thoughts. By sticking to the process of Physical Activity, Accountability, Hydration, Mental Health and Self Care, I have grown healthy, happy habits by committing to simple daily actions. There’s no weighing scales, no ‘bad’ foods and yet over the past 10 months my favourite dresses fit with ease.

Although the Coaching is online, there’s nothing remote about it. I really feel part of the group in the WhatsApp and the checkin calls. We can all relate to each other’s struggles- there’s no judgement, only support- and joy for our wins.

Thrive Academy is a game changer for me"

"I feel the results on a daily basis, getting in and out of the car, carrying in the shopping bags, getting up and down off the floor to hug my dog, climbing stairs or walking a hill. I feel the strength already in my body and my energy levels are much better. I am also feeling much better in my clothes. My body shape is changing and that feels good too.

I am feeling fantastic, I am really enjoying this new lease of life. I am 61 shortly and I feel excited."

"Before Thrive Academy, I was overeating just for comfort and distraction ,with no exercise routine. I had a good talking to myself. The weight was going in the wrong direction and I was comfort eating.
After just the first month with Jessica I really felt a difference: I had more energy , fitted better in my clothes and people noticed I was trimmer. The biggest change for me was that I now have my walks / workouts built into my schedule. I feel so good when it comes to Friday and I have completed my workouts.
Above anything else my mental health has improved. Before I started Thrive Academy, and got into my routine , I honestly have to say I was not feeling so good and this was compounded by the weight gain. I very quickly found my moods changed, my energy levels improved immensely, and I had a daily goal that was achievable. I got great satisfaction from completing those goals. "
