My Story
I've worked in the fitness industry for the past 12 years. I love exercise! It keeps me fit, increases my energy levels and makes me feel happy. I love being part of a fitness community and get a real buzz from teaching classes and seeing everyone enjoying working out together.
​
I have, however, become a little bit disheartened over the last few years with the fitness industry as a whole. There is so much emphasis on body image and pressure on people to look or workout in a certain way. I was sucked into this too and felt like I was constantly trying to out train a bad diet. I bought one book after another and tried a number of different fad diets in my search for a quick fix!
​
Towards the end of 2019 I felt like I was stuck in a rut. I started feeling overwhelmed with life. I had feelings of self doubt and failure. My family usually joke about how laid back I am so this was strange territory to be in! I was worrying about things that didn't really matter and life was passing me by.
​
At the start of 2020 I decided things were going to be different (I didn't realise quite how different). I was keen to do something new. I wanted to break the cycle of old habits and start living life to the full.
​
When I came across the International Association of Wellness Professionals (IAWP) I felt an instant connection. Their philosophy is that we need to take a holistic approach to our health - that every aspect of our lives can effect our health and wellbeing - and that we are all unique so there is not one fix for all.
​
My purpose as a wellness coach is to guide, support and encourage clients to make positive long lasting changes so that they can create a happier and healthier life.
​
The definition of "to get one's mojo back" is to regain one's confidence, energy or enthusiasm, especially coinciding with a resurgence in one's success. My goal is that all my clients will get their mojo back!!
