Hi Mobsters,
How is it November already? Soon Mariah will be blaring from the radios!
As we head into the final part of the year it is a great time to continue building strength and focus on feeling great. This can be your final push before the festive season arrives...where let's be honest...most of us fall off the health and wellbeing wagon!
For the last 6 weeks of the year (I’ll be stopping on 16th December), I’ll be running two online classes each week.
Although the focus of these sessions is core strength, many of the mums I’ve been working with have also noticed positive changes in their physique. There’s something special about the Pilates + strength combination.
SO starting on the 4th November join me twice a week:
Tuesdays & Fridays at 9am
Pilates + Strength
As Mobsters, you get FREE access to these sessions.
To join:
Download the XENA LIFE app using the link below
Create a profile.
I’ll grant access on Monday, so please register before then. If you sign up after Monday, send me a DM and I’ll activate you.
All classes will be recorded and uploaded to the app, giving you two sessions per week to use anytime.
This is a foundation course designed to build strength from the ground up. It’s not just for postnatal women — it’s for anyone wanting to strengthen correctly and efficiently with real results. Even if you’re strong already, the focus on technique makes it challenging and effective. Plus, you can do it all from the comfort of your home.

Looking forward to seeing you on the mat!
As an additional bonus to continue on the mindful moment theme I have teamed with Amanda from Soulful Connections who is offering her new 7-Day Guided Pause Journal for free to the MOB.
It’s a free digital guide designed to help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect through simple daily prompts — a little pocket of calm in your week.
I’m giving early access to you!

And there’s more — Amanda is launching our new Soulful Connections WhatsApp group on November 14! Join to be supported through the week.
You’ll also get journal reflections, and behind-the-scenes inspiration and support.

About Tinto
Tinto helps women address the cellular effects of chronic stress through personalised supplement and nutrition protocols. We target mitochondrial health - your cells' energy production system - because that's where stress does its deepest damage.
We understand the reality of modern motherhood: the constant mental load and emotional labour that depletes your body at a cellular level. Tinto exists to help you restore that capacity with evidence-based protocols that fit into real life.
The Offer
Through our partnership with Mums Who Build, we're offering discounted 1:1 consultations with Tinto's in-house nutritionist - £35 per session (usually £150).
In your session, you'll identify what's actually driving your symptoms and leave with a practical, personalised protocol to address the root causes - not just manage symptoms.
Each consultation includes access to Tinto Pulse: our progress-tracking and accountability tool that helps you measure what's shifting. Whether you're targeting sleep quality, energy levels, mood stability, or hormone balance, Pulse shows you what's working as you implement your plan.

Finally!
For some content to watch in your own time. Supporting the information from TINTO, I have chosen a video from The Nutritional BEAN. Gut health is so important, if you are keen to understand more about how you can support your gut then watch this 30 minute video. She talks about what happens when the gut is impacted by stress and other environmental factors meaning it doesn't take on the nutrients. Yup, that means no matter how well you eat you still might be deficient. She gives 3 simple tips on how to support your gut health without the supplements. Worth a try no!
Happy Holidays
See you online xx

HABIT STACK to achieve your goals
If stretching / exercise is something you want to get into the habit of doing regularly (it's so good for us - mentally and physically, go for it!), then choose a time when you're able to attach the exercise to an existing routine you do everyday. This is a great way to build any new habits and achieve your goals. For example, you could do the 5 minute stretch straight after you get out of bed in the morning or after you've handed your kids their breakfast (stretch while they eat). Top Tip - make life easy for yourself. Put any equipment (ie a yoga mat) or clothes needed for you to do the exercise, out the night before to avoid any procrastination faff in the morningmeet OCTAVIA, founder OF XENA
XENA is my Ikigai.At the age of 12 I lost my first patch of hair with alopecia. What a ride that would be. After nearly 30 years of losing and gaining and then losing my hair again I learnt that it was down to me to decide how I felt, how I showed up, how I coped and moved forwards. There were tears, sadness, depression and fear. But there was also a determination not to be defined nor held back by this auto immune disease.As a physiotherapist of 15 years, I often found my strength lay in empowering my clients to believe their body wasn't broken beyond repair, that they had the capability to heal and move forwards.Then came motherhood.... another curveball. Different but equally seismic. I was blown away by how little I knew about my body even as a physio.I am a mother of two little girls, a physiotherapist of 15 years, and the founder of XENA. I have curated a fabulous team of professionals to help you get the most from your life. XENA offers an extensive library of 400+ videos, pdfs, and audios, as well as meticulously planned programmes for pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause. Our aim is to cover and support you through every life-defining moment, and if we’ve not got what you’re looking for right now you can guarantee we’re working on it! we asked octavia what financial security means to her,
