ABOUT ME
“We need to be advocates for our own health and choose daily how we move and nourish our bodies for optimal health”.
I am a movement and health coach and believe through educating and inspiring others to take control of their health, you are empowering them to be advocates for not only their health, but that of their families and generations to come.
Through my own health journey and being aware of the natural changes that occur as we age, I have realised how important it is to prioritise daily movement, strength training, nutrition and recovery practices to optimise health, and to be able to build and maintain muscle and bone health through our later decades of life – “to be able to age with Strength and Grace”.
My Movement Philosophy:
I have always had a love of movement but as I headed toward the big “50”, I realised more than ever, the importance of building and maintaining muscle and bone health; to have the ability to train safely, avoid injury and move pain free. We can be strong and independent as we head into our last decade of life.
My Food Philosophy
I love to cook foods that taste good but are also good for you – made from “Real Food” Ingredients, that are free from toxins, preservatives, additives and anything artificial. Through my own health journey, I experienced how food has the power to heal - “You have the power to choose what foods you eat and take control of your own health”.
My food philosophy follows the Ancestral way of eating and living. This basically means eating real nutrient dense food - choosing local and organic produce, pasture-raised animal products or wild-caught fish whenever possible. Following the ways of our ancestors provides a “blueprint” to healthier living. This way of living also empowers you to choose and adapt to find the best fit for our unique needs.
It’s More Than Food
Living like our ancestors is not just about food, it also incorporates lifestyle choices - to move more, prioritise sleep and incorporate practices to reduce stress. It is about being part of a tribe – spending time with family and friends.
“My favourite time of the week is “Family Dinner” on Sunday, when Shane and I are joined by our three lovely sons, their “growing” families and friends - to share a nourishing meal, laughter and stories…”
