🌿 Rella’s 30-Day Mindful Eating Journey 🌿

Reconnect with your body. Reclaim your energy. Redefine your relationship with food.

Have you ever wished you could just stop thinking about food all the time, stop dieting, stop second-guessing yourself, and finally feel calm and in control?

If so, you’re not alone, and this might be exactly where your new chapter begins. 💚

The 30-Day Mindful Eating Journey eBook by Cindy Rella is your guided path to building a healthier, more joyful connection with eating, one meal, one moment, one mindful bite at a time.

This isn’t another “challenge.” It’s a journey, one of awareness, discovery, and gentle transformation.

Over 30 days, you’ll learn how to:
🌱 Tune into hunger and fullness cues
🍎 Break free from emotional or mindless eating
🥗 Reconnect with the sensory joy of food — taste, texture, and gratitude
💭 Shift from perfection to awareness, progress, and self-compassion
✨ Build lifelong habits that nourish your body and your mind

Guided by Cindy Rella, a world-class athlete and movement coach with over 15 years in health and wellness, this beautifully structured eBook includes daily prompts, reflections, and practical tools to help you slow down, savour, and truly enjoy your meals again.

Whether you’re returning to exercise, navigating menopause, recovering from injury, or simply wanting to feel more at peace with your eating, this program meets you exactly where you are no judgment, no restriction, just mindful progress. 🌸

🌸 International Menopause Day 🌸
Menopause is more than a biological transition; it’s a human experience that affects relationships, connection, and community.
As a post-menopausal woman, athlete, and coach, I’ve experienced firsthand how powerful and challenging this transition can be.
Navigating menopause without HRT has been an eye-opener. It’s taught me the importance of exploring adaptogens, lifestyle medicine, movement, and mindset to support not just physical health, but emotional and relational wellbeing too.

💬 When partners, friends, and communities talk openly, transitions become easier.

💞 When men understand menopause and women feel safe to share, we build stronger, more compassionate relationships.

🙌 And when connection replaces silence, we not only improve health outcomes, but we might save relationships.

Healthy relationships are more than emotional; they’re medicine. They support heart, bone, and mental health, reduce symptoms, and help women thrive throughout and beyond menopause.
Menopause deserves to be celebrated, not feared, with open conversation, shared understanding, and holistic support for both women and men.

As a coach, it was vital to complete menopausal education so I could better understand myself and support my clients through this stage of life. Every woman’s journey is different, and with so much noise and misinformation out there, guidance matters.

We’re not small men, and what works for others doesn’t always work for us. Lifting heavy or pushing harder isn’t the answer for everyone.

If you’re struggling with menopause, please reach out. I have the knowledge, experience, and lived understanding to help guide you toward what truly supports your body, not away from it.

Start the conversations, remove the stigma around Menopause

🏑 Active Ageing Week: Meet Greg 🏌️‍♂️

Meet Greg, a shining example of what active ageing truly looks like. Greg is just a few sleeps away from turning 70 at the end of this year, and he shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Last week, Greg returned as a National Champion, playing in the Over-70s Hockey Team. When he’s not on the field, you’ll find him out on the golf course, refining his swing and staying strong, mobile, and connected.

Greg reminds us that it’s never about Age, it’s about attitude and movement. The more we move, the more we keep our bodies capable and our minds sharp.

At Rella’s Movement Studio, we celebrate movers like Greg, who embody the idea that sustainable, purposeful training builds a body (and mindset) for life.
✨ Move with purpose, for a purpose.
✨ Age strong.
✨ Live fully.

When was the last time you checked the credentials of a fitness professional before engaging their services?

I've made the mistake of hiring a professional for personal use, only to find out they're not registered, insured, or up to date with their education. This was a very expensive mistake, as I couldn't get my money back. You would be surprised just how many in the Fitness industry have no insurance, first aid, or even registered with a fitness body.

Rella's has been a proud registered professional with FITREC.org Fitness Registration for a very long time.

We have also recently become registered with another for our clients' benefits with Health funds.

We care for our clients health and wellness and put you first.

I always encourage my members to check credentials. If they are registered, they will have a link.

A key benefit of registration is the ability to confirm details online. ✅

This avoids any confusion surrounding whether a registration is current and also provides immediate insight into the professional's background.

EVEN THOSE WITH CERTIFICATES should be checked. For this reason, all FITREC certificates include a link to the relevant profile. Why would this be necessary? Registration may have been cancelled, either by the individual or by FITREC. It doesn't happen often, but it is worth a single click on a PDF to check.

It's all about building a more transparent and accountable industry. 😊

💚 World Mental Health Day was on October 10th — but supporting our mental health is something we can do every day, in every way we move.

At Rella’s, we see how movement transforms more than bodies — it lifts moods, eases stress, and helps people reconnect with themselves and others. 🌿

Sometimes that happens here in the studio — through shared laughter, steady strength, and community. Other times, it’s outside — a quiet walk, a stretch in the sunshine, or breathing in the salt air after a long day. ☀️

It doesn’t have to look perfect. It just has to help you feel a little better.
Every bit of movement matters — every breath, every smile, every step forward.

If you’re ready to move for your body and your mind, come join us at Rella’s.
A safe, supportive space where movement is for everyone — and every journey matters. 💚

💪 Personal and small group training
🌸 Tailored movement for all abilities and fitness levels

🌿 Active Ageing in Action 🌿
Meet Phoebe, an active grandparent and avid hockey player with two knee replacements.
Alongside Pheobe in this photo are other incredible women, with full knee replacements, and their hockey coach, who has had a hip replacement herself. 💪
These women are living proof that movement doesn't have an expiry date.
Joint replacements aren't the end of an active life; they're often the start of a new chapter.
What sets Rella apart from your standard fitness facility, Cindy, is a Joint Replacement Specialist, Allied Health Assistant and functional ageing specialist just to mention a few of her extensive qualifications.
Cindy believes in collaborating with Allied health to help people rebuild strength, mobility, and confidence after surgery so they can return not just to movement, but to the life they love.

🌿 Active Ageing Week 🌿
Movement is the key to staying strong, mobile, and independent through every stage of life.
We believe movement isn’t just about fitness, it’s about Freedom.
🌿 Freedom to get up and down off the ground without assistance
🌿 Freedom to play with your grandchildren.
🌿 Freedom to travel overseas and explore
🌿 Freedom of moving through your day with ease and confidence.

As we age, our bodies crave movement that nourishes, not punishes.
Functional training, strength work, balance, and mobility all play a role in keeping our joints healthy, our minds sharp, and our hearts strong.

It’s never too late to start.
It’s never too early to begin.
And it’s always worth it.

Come and join our community of fun-loving freedom movers.
Our group sessions are the perfect way to start.

✨ Move with purpose, for a purpose.
✨ Train for the life you want to live.
✨ Stay Stronger for longer

Because every body is different — and every journey matters.

💪 From National Stage to Local Studio 💪

Did you know your coach Cindy doesn’t just talk about movement — she lives it?

This month, she stepped onto the platform at the Australian Kettlebell Championships… and walked away a winner. 🏆

But here’s the part that matters most: Cindy brings the same drive, knowledge, and care she takes to competition back to every single person who walks into Rella’s.

✨ It’s not about lifting the heaviest weight or chasing medals (though she’s good at that too 😉).
✨ It’s about showing what’s possible when you move with purpose, patience, and the right support.

At Rella’s, you don’t need to be an athlete. You just need to be you — and Cindy will help you get stronger, more confident, and more comfortable in your own body.

🌿 The Rella’s Difference: movement that’s achievable, safe, and for every body. 🌿
