About Me

Hi, I’m Tina Akins.

I’m a trained counsellor and a carer, and I write practical books for people who are juggling a lot and want a plan they can actually stick to. I know what it’s like to hold everything together while running on empty, so every book I write deals with both the practical steps and the emotional side of change.

The 12-Week Lock-In: The Weight-Loss Plan for Busy Women Who Are Done Starting Over, follows four women with full lives and very little spare time. It’s built around real weeks, not perfect ones.

In this shop, you’ll find companion resources for the book, including week-one meal plans for Sarah, Dee, and Jennifer. Each plan comes with a simple shopping list so you can get started straight away.

Coming soon

More books are on the way, covering:

A guide for parents of children with special educational needs, from the first signs and diagnosis through to school, support and day-to-day life
Support for carers looking after someone they love without losing themselves
Guidance for care leavers stepping into independent adult life
Relationships and how to keep them strong when life gets busy

All products are digital downloads, delivered instantly after purchase.

Enjoy!
