Accountability to get to your goal weight was never the issue.

However, trying to sustain perfection in your definition of being healthy will always derail you every time.

You already know how to eat healthy food and you do, yet you've given up trying to lose weight because no matter what you have already done it never seems to last.

There are a million approaches to having the healthy body you want but what is the point if it's not optimized for your nutritional needs and your lifestyle?

You're spot on.

There is no point spending more money on yet another programme, healthy eating plan or getting personalised advice if it's not going to last.

That is why it's essential to find out what your body needs and what it is currently missing.

You can apply tips and tricks you read online to feel better and try new healthy recipes but if you're serious about wanting to lose more than 10 kilos to improve your health you require a specific approach that integrates with your busy lifestyle.

So when you eat with friends and family you don't have to eat differently or say that you're on a diet.

If you'd like to get to the root cause of why your weight won't currently shift no matter how many carbs you avoid or salads you try to eat.

I'm offering six personalised 1:1 eating alignment sessions for those serious about being their healthiest version of themselves in 2026.

So you can get to the source of why weight doesn't want to move.

These sessions are life changing and you'll save so much time trying to figure it out on your own.

It's the years later when we have a conversation and you are still maintaining your results and love your body more than you did before we found each other as well as the energy you have for the life you choose to lead.

You no longer have a desire to seek quick fixes, require medication for your symptoms and it's the freedom it provides in how you get to nourish your body - your way.

The most common result across the board is how their body continues to change shape, they continue to release the weight that was impacting their health & confidence.

The only time clients have returned for an upgrade is when their lifestyle packs on more demands and they require slightly different tweaks in the way they choose to nourish themselves.

I believe the reason I'm still helping achieve these levels of health & well being with self mastery

20 years after I had the calling to nourish your lifestyle guilt free is because I am here to show you how easy it gets to be

So you can have the healthy body that you want - guilt free!

Feeling out of alignment in your mind, body and energy is a choice.

This week I have been catching up with previous coaching clients from 2023/2024 and it makes my heart sing to hear how they have continued to ingrate what they learned since working together after their 6 months coaching packages have reached completion.

💜 One client can't believe she used to analyze food labels years ago and now can eat whatever she feels like without it impacting her health & waistline

💜 Another client has gone from 92.7 kilos to just over 70 kilos with integrating what she learned

💜 Another client has returned her blood pressure to a normal range and will no longer need to take medication for it in another month

💜 Another client was feeling zapped of energy no matter how well she ate and once we looked at what was draining her energy, plugged the gaps she has noticed how her mood has improved and now sleeps solidly through the night

It's not just in how they nourish their body but the internal confidence they gain from the experience that continues to save them time and money on their health years later

That is why I continue to be available for those that are ready to invest in themselves - because it's about longevity not instant gratification.

I'll share more of these specific stories with you over the coming weeks to celebrate how far they have all come.

The missing piece of the puzzle as to why you struggle to lose weight and keep it off for life and what the weight loss industry will not tell you 👇

14/12/2025

Eating seems to have become such a touchy subject but let's discuss why?

Whether you watch what you eat or eat based on what you feel like there is no 'right or wrong'

How you view food and whether it is

✅ eaten for fuel?
✅ eaten for health?
✅ eaten for energy?
✅ eaten to regain control?
✅ eaten for enjoyment?
✅ eaten based on previous programming?

It doesn't actually matter.

What matters is how you feel in your body and whether you function at your optimal level for how you like to live your life

If you're struggling with having enough energy, getting enough sleep, or even if your blood pressure is elevated or you have joint stiffness and feel like you're surviving rather than thriving

Then yes - what you eat contributes however it's not the full picture.

Controlling what you eat is not the answer.

Understanding where your food choice originates from is more powerful.

Then aligning what you enjoy with what your body needs.

--------------------------------------

By understanding your appetite and what you currently enjoy eating unlocks the need to ever yoyo diet or follow a healthy eating programme ever again.

You don't need to be the perfect eater to be healthy however you do need to understand how your body functions and how to fuel it so that you thrive.

The answer is not the same for everyone

This is why seeking personalised professional advice is essential if you want to have more consistent energy, stay in good health and still eat the food you love without feeling like you are getting it 'wrong'.

You won't ever hear me tell you what you should and shouldn't eat because your taste preferences are subjective.

Experiencing lasting results requires aligning your eating with who you are and how you like to live and this is why we nourish your lifestyle - for life.

📸 Your food choice always tells a story it's not just about the nutrients your meal contains

Eating seasonally is common sense but how often do you actually know if you're meeting your daily nutritional requirements?

Some will argue that poor soil quality, food prices, processed food consumption and low nutrient sense food are the reason health rates have declined in the western world.

Yet, there are clients of mine that are increasing their energy, improving their health, losing weight in a healthy way and ending their health symptoms by eating all types of food - even the ones from a supermarket.

It's because firstly you need to focus on how well your body is hydrated through your food choice - even more so on hot days.

You can eat whatever you like but logically it needs balancing over a day if you want to ensure your body is getting what it needs.

This time of year is full of festive food, social eating, less meal prep and eating on the go!

Tis the season you could say.

However you don't need to eat blind and pick up the pieces in the new year.

When you know exactly how to balance what you enjoy eating at this time of year - you don't gain extra weight that you have to lose when you return to work after the holidays.

If you'd like to know more - direct message me how you can get this cook book and navigate your nourishment of the silly season with ease and less stress.

Healthy food isn't expensive when you buy ingredients instead of brands. 👇

Let's talk about 'geriatric pregnancy' 🤣

A label that has always made me laugh as a health professional because so many women are having children after 35 years old these days than ever before.

I'll be 42 in April and I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby and I have taken no prenatal supplements.

The journey has been fierce compared to when I was last pregnant a decade ago.

So many more responsibilities and life to nourish while growing this one.

If I was to give this pregnancy a title it would be "Nourishment amongst the chaos" with so much change and challenge on the nervous system.

Yet here we are, a healthy baby that is growing well and as my midwife said last week - I have zero risk factors except my age.

It has made me aware how much we blame our age for our health when it's not necessary.

Yes, it has taken much more attention to detail to prioritize my health holistically but it's also been a choice not just physically through what I eat but also mentally and emotionally.

I feel blessed and privileged to have two decades of health science qualifications and coaching experience behind me to put it all into practice.

However, I also understand that not everyone has that luxury or the same tool box this doesn't mean it's not available for you though if you want to be in your best health naturally.

Reframing your situation from 'I can't' to 'Im open to finding out a better way' will completely change the way you see yourself and your relationship with health & wellbeing.

Three years ago Jax arrived in my inbox because she wanted to lose weight and 'shed' body fat.

So we worked together over three months to get her the results she wanted - she lost over 15 kilos purely by nourishing her body for what her lifestyle demanded from her.

However 8 weeks ago she reached out once again because her lifestyle has changed and although the weight has stayed off she didn't feel in peak health.

✅ Her energy had slumped to exhaustion levels

✅ She felt constantly dehydrated no matter how many hydrating foods she ate in her meals and drinking water each day.

✅ Her sleep had become inconsistent, her appetite had dwindled and she thought she might be going through perimenopause.

So I suggested she send through to me what her current day looked like over a week - not just what she felt like eating but also how she felt physically, mentally and emotionally.

On the surface her eating looked fine however I could quickly pinpoint where her lag in energy was coming from.

It wasn't perimenopause symptoms because within a week of daily guidance her energy went from a 3/10 in all areas to a 9/10.

This is why professional personalised advice is essential compared to doing a pre planned 'programme' for your own health and well-being.

Simply by looking at how your body is currently responding to how you are nourishing it - we can get to the root cause faster so you shift from waiting to see results to experience the progress you want within a set time frame.

It's more practical to see what is going on when you're at your busiest instead of when you 'have time' because this is when your body is under the most pressure and requires the most energy.

Plus let's be real, when is there ever a period that you 'have time' when you have multiple responsibilities in your life 😉

Having a healthy body means different things at different ages.

In your 20's it's more surface level ascetics - wanting to stay in shape usually to avoid feeling heavy or being rejected based on how you look.

In your 30's it shifts to the importance of nourishing your body so you have the energy and vitality for what you need to get done while being a support system to others at home and in your work

In your 40's it moves to healing your previous two decades of life experience so it doesn't affect your relationship with eating, health and your well-being.

When you forget to put your health first in your 40's because you're busy raising children, supporting your family and working in your career

The risk of your health coming undone in your 50's and beyond increases by 70%.

✅ Your nervous system turns into brittle dry branches and the smallest things exhaust your energy

✅ Your blood sugars elevate not because you have a sweet tooth but because your time feels maxed and there's none left for just you.

✅ Your blood pressure then rises because unconsciously you don't feel seen, heard or understood by your family and have abandoned your own needs to help others.

This leads to changes in your appetite and inevitably your food choice and it becomes a vicious cycle.

Your body then changes, hormones fluctuate, sleep becomes inconsistent and the extra weight you hate doesn't seem to budge no matter how well you eat or how consistently you move your body.

You normalise it due to what you read about menopause and the aging process and continue to feel exhausted the busier you get.

It doesn't have to be this way though.

You don't have to detox, diet, fast, count macros or analyse your food intake to be healthy.

This is the old way and never lasts because who wants to feel like you're eating a spreadsheet?

You don't.

If you're ready to transform your relationship with your health, your eating mindset and yourself

So that you can be healthy, energized and thriving in your body without needing to rely on medication, supplements or quick fixes.

I'm looking for two people who are ready to invest in themselves and lose more than 30 kg over 6 months and keep it off permanently to improve their health.

Message me directly for more info.

Consuming carbohydrates is not the primary cause of weight gain, but not having enough will compromise your energy.

29/11/2025

Releasing all judgement from what you eat allows your body to do what it does best.

Even if you don't think you judge your food choice - you still do at an unconscious level.

Thoughts like 'If only I could control my snacking I would lose weight'

'If I didn't like chocolate I would be a size 10'

'If I wasn't as busy with work and my family I would have more time to cook what I wanted'

If you find you try your best to eat well because you want to be in the best shape & health possible but then get frustrated when you gravitate to food that is

*High fat
*High sugar
*Carbohydrate
*High calorie

Firstly your body is calling on these types of food for a reason.

Secondly, you will be carrying self judgement because all of these things are not the main reason you arent getting the results you want.

It's your eating mindset.

You think to have the healthy body you want is simply unattainable with how you like to live.

When you understand how to nourish your lifestyle all of the tiny metrics of your eating matter less.

Nourishment becomes the priority instead of analysis.

You know how much your body needs to nourish your age, height & current weight.

Your body heals from the common cold, aches, pains & inflammation faster.

You have more energy, vitality and motivation to move your body even when life gets hectic.

You feel more satisfied and in control of your health and wellbeing.

If you're ready to shift your eating mindset and remove the guilt from your relationship with eating so you can have more energy & thrive with better health.

Send me a direct message in messenger and I'll help you get it all sorted.

Even with rising food prices it's easy to eat healthy when you know some quick & easy eating hacks.

This year has been gnarly for the price of food even if you can afford the price hikes it doesn't mean you want to pay the inflated cost - and you don't have to.

When you have meals that are nutritionally balanced to satisfy your appetite, that balance your blood sugars and heal your body every aspect of your health improves.

Unless of course your nervous system is on high alert from the lifestyle you choose to live.

Having good energy & a healthy body in your 40's, 50's & 60's is simple when you know what you're missing.

So often it's the smallest tweak you need to your meals so your body digests your food instead of storing it or shifting one thing you are doing so your body uses the nutrients you are eating.

When you are stressed, busy & tired like many of you are those time of year your digestion also shifts.

Your body starts to hold onto more weight not necessarily because of your food choice but because your body is programmed to surviving the body season.

If you'd like to undo this programming in one session I have a few spaces available to show you how easy it is.

Message me, via my inbox and I'll demonstrate how you can shift your energy from low to high and prevent gaining weight for your health at this time of year.

So that you can enter 2026 thriving in a healthy body without missing out on all the food you love at this time of year.
