As a Personal Trainer and Health Coach, my greatest passion is to help people become the best version of themselves.
My holistic approach to wellness incorporates a combination of nutrition, hydration, fitness, relaxation, stress management, sleep, mindset and self-care.
My life hasn't always been like this. As an Accountant I spent hours sitting at a desk, over a computer in an office full of people.
I spent many years as a yo-yo dieter trying out one diet after another in an attempt to constantly achieve my optimum weight. I also found exercise and used to unwind and de-stress by running and spending hours in the gym. I found the gym an extremely hostile and intimidating environment.
My real story began a couple of years ago, when I realised the people I care about most in my life had all recently, and not so recently, been diagnosed with life changing medical conditions.
My Dad was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes several years ago and more recently high blood pressure and gout. The number of daily drugs he takes is alarming! My younger sister has both Type 2 diabetes and asthma. My older brother discovered he has high blood pressure and my late Mum had osteoporosis and vascular dementia.
I decided I needed to take stock of what was happening. I looked at each family member in turn, including myself, and realised that the common theme was that we are all prone to carry excess belly fat (in varying proportions). I did some research into each of the conditions diagnosed and discovered the common factor to be "inflammation".
I initially decided to address my own nutrition and then try to provide some support to the rest of my family.
I had always been a keen runner and regular exerciser. My downfall was that I must have tried every available diet, including various slimming pills, in my quest to lose weight over the years. I remember at the age of 12/13 constantly asking Mum if I could go on a diet. The answer was always that I didn't need to lose weight, it was just puppy fat and I would grow out of it. I went to Uni at 18 wearing size 16 clothes. This is when my yo-yo dieting really started.
2015
2015 was a turning point for me when, after 12 months of studying over 100 different ways of eating, I graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition as a Health Coach.
My personal result is that I no longer DIET. Instead, I have adopted a regime of clean, healthy eating in an attempt to eliminate anything that may cause inflammation and other nasty side effects.
WITH THE RESULTS I FOUND, I COULDN'T KEEP THIS TO MYSELF
In 2015, I also hit PERI-MONOPAUSE. I was struggling with hourly hot flushes, night sweats, daily headaches and an expanding wasitline. There was no way I was going anywhere near HRT and searched for an ALL NATURAL SOLUTION. The solution I discovered went hand in hand with my new clean, healthy eating and I am now completely free of all my symptoms, I lost 7lbs and my tummy is so much flatter.
I am really excited to share my healthy habits with everyone I can! So I have created this site for YOU.
Are you fed up with embarrassing hot flashes?
Sick of waking up with your bed clothes wringing wet from your night sweats?
Wish you could have an undisturbed night of sleep?
Do you long for more energy and vitality?
Unable to shift those extra pounds that have collected around your waist?
Are you looking for an ALL NATURAL alternative to HRT?
I spent much of 2014 and 2015 searching for a natural solution to my menopause issues. I found a nutrition based solution and I am SOOOOOO excited to share this with you so you don't have to suffer a moment longer.
Menopause is a natural phase in the female lifecycle that occurs around the late 40s to mid 50s. It's the stage at which the female stops producing eggs and menstruation ceases. Accompanying this is a very significant change in hormone balance. This has effects throughout the body that can include headaches, joint pain, poor quality of sleep and weight gain.
