Welcome to Your Path to Balanced Wellbeing
Are you feeling stuck between functioning and flourishing? You’re not alone. Many people find themselves in the wellbeing gap—where daily demands and stress leave them operating below their best, but not yet in distress or dysfunction. This gap is subtle, but if left unaddressed, it can lead to burnout, illness, or even addiction. I’m here to help you bridge that gap and reclaim your full potential for a balanced, healthy life.
With over 20 years in the fitness and wellbeing industry, I offer a holistic, personalised approach to your health, combining my expertise as a qualified Exercise Physiologist, Nutritionist, Stress Resilience and Addictions & Recovery Coach. My mission is to support you in achieving sustainable wellbeing by addressing the 6 Pillars of Wellbeing: Nourishment through Balanced Nutrition & Intentional Eatinng, Mindful Movement, Restorative Rest and Recovery, Stress Management and Resilience, Avoidance of Risky Substances and Behaviours, and Positive, Safe Connections—with yourself and others.
As a Lifestyle and Wellbeing Coach I guide individuals in making positive changes to improve their overall well-being. Unlike traditional health professionals who may focus on treating specific conditions, I take a holistic approach, considering all aspects of a person's life, including physical health, nutrition, exercise, mental well-being, and spiritual health. The goal is to help clients achieve a balanced and fulfilling life by addressing habits and behaviours that impact their health and happiness.
The Impact of Lifestyle on Health and Well Being
Statistics show that lifestyle choices significantly affect our health and risk of disease. For example:
Chronic Diseases: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes are responsible for 70% of all deaths globally. Many of these conditions are linked to lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking.
Obesity: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that the prevalence of obesity in the United States was 42.4% in 2017-2018. Obesity increases the risk of many health problems, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
Mental Health: Mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, are often exacerbated by poor lifestyle choices, including inadequate sleep, poor nutrition, and lack of physical activity.
How I Can Help You Close the Wellbeing Gap
I bring a unique perspective to coaching, having lived an alcohol-free lifestyle by choice and working with integrity, practising the same healthy habits I encourage in my clients. I understand the challenges and rewards of staying on track with wellbeing goals, because I walk the same path.
