A little bit about me…

	Health and Wellbeing Coach
	Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor
	Workshop Presenter in exercise, nutrition and wellbeing
	Corporate Group Fitness Trainer

Learning and discovering ways in which I can bring more energy, vitality, fun and joy into life, and then sharing that with others through my coaching, is something that inspires me and gives me a great deal of joy and life satisfaction.

I'm truly passionate about these fabulous bodies we are blessed with, and how we, with some assistance from nature, can nurture and support them for optimal health and happiness.

For many years now I have pursued and enjoyed a healthy lifestyle and actively sought knowledge in this area to share with others.

A serious car accident along the way, saw my world turn upside down and I struggled significantly both emotionally and physically, with pain which was at times debilitating and my weight ballooning. This ultimately served me well in that it gave me a greater appreciation of what it feels like to be living in a vulnerable body and soul that at times I didn't like, and which needed some support and revitalising.

My journey back to health and happiness further developed my knowledge and insight into vitality and wellbeing and provides another dimension to my workshops. I found that as I influenced the state of my health, through healthy eating, exercise and activity, and healthy lifestyle options, my energy, attitude and overall appreciation of life improved.

It is this knowledge and experience I now share with others, to help each of us connect more with the sunshine in life.

My journey to date finds me in a place where I focus on life balance and look at simple, practical and effective ways to bring more energy and life into each day. Through my work I offer clients the opportunity to experience on a one-on-one level a similar journey to one they might immerse themselves in at a health retreat…an uplifting adventure for the body, mind and soul.

Coach, Presenter, Personal Trainer....

My work has seen me involved in the natural health and wellbeing industry for more than 20 years spread across Australia, India and Indonesia. My first introduction to the benefits of a holistic approach to health and wellbeing came during my time at the highly regarded health retreat The Golden Door in the Gold Coast hinterland, further inspired by time spent at the prestigious award winning lifestyle retreat Gwinganna.

Working with such world leaders in their fields, I discovered and have continued to nurture my passion and knowledge for optimising my client's health, not only through exercise and fitness, but nutrition, positive mental well-being and natural healing options.

I have also been fortunate enough to have spent a great deal of time travelling internationally, including more than a year travelling through Africa and the Middle East, time spent living in India, and I am currently living in East Java, Indonesia. This time has given me a fabulous, unique opportunity to gain more insight into alternative lifestyles and healing options.
