For a long while, I lived a high stress lifestyle. I spent my university days partying and eating very little. I then started my career working in a stressful corporate environment which involved long hours, lots of travel with many restaurant meals & late nights. I worked hard but also spent every minute of my free time busy busy busy. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and my years of excessive drinking, faddy diets, over exercising, over working and 4 children took its toll on my health. Over the last 10 years, I realised that I needed to make a change & show my children the best version of me. I wanted to get rid of the constant exhaustion. I wanted to eat my dinner with them instead of making different meals because I was on the Atkins diet and they were on beige food only. I wanted to be strong and fit and healthy so I could have the energy to have fun with them. It is a continuing journey but it is facilitated by nourishing my body & mind instead of punishing it. After doing lots of studying and personal development I began my journey to become a certified holistic health and life coach and naturopathic nutritionist. I have learnt the proven system that masters lasting habit change. With lifestyle diseases, obesity and stress related illnesses on the increase, it is important now more than ever to instil healthy habits so these things become what you do and who you are without you even thinking about it.
