As a life/personal development/wellness coach, personal trainer, ex nurse, company director and a mother,
grandmother, partner, I strive to practice what I coach by incorporating my passions into my life.
What are my passions? - People, family, well-being, fitness and health, small business, and working with
individuals and corporates assisting them achieve results. My goal is to help people from all backgrounds
and cultures, from teenagers to adults, to achieve their life's purpose.
Although I loved nursing and the people contact, I became frustrated with seeing the same patients coming
in getting "fixed" and not heeding advice and returning soon after with the same conditions or worse.
I decided I wanted to be the ambulance at the top of the cliff and not at the bottom.
Preventative is the solution
I love walking the talk and exercise - walks in the bush with Harry my Border Collie, tennis, golf, paddle
boarding the waves, and skiing. I work on my emotions and soul, practicing Energy Medicine, Chi gong,
meditation, breathing techniques and I'm open to learning other healthy modalities. I eat clean food and
as much as possible grow my own vegetables and eat as many vegetables as I can with minimal meat. I
still enjoy fish, chicken and lamb.
Holistic - Emphasising the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts, looking at the
body, mind and soul for wellness.
Mauri tū mauri ora An active soul is a healthy soul

Nutrition
I am a certified Body Revolution trainer
"You can't out-exercise a bad diet" “You are what you eat”. “Nutrition and exercise go hand in hand”. Food is 80% Exercise is 20%. I will ask the hard questions.
I don’t believe faddish diets sustain weight loss but healthy, nutritious food together with regular exercise will.
You could be slowing yourself down and making it difficult to reach your full potential purely because
you are eating the wrong things.
By making a few simple changes you will not only improve your health, but also look, feel and perform better.
Contact me for a tailored nutrition program.
Often weight loss and fitness is not achieved until the mental blockages are addressed, Life coaching will help identify and break down these blocks to ensure you achieve your goals. Some areas to work on are your "inner critic and self-limiting beliefs".
