Body Fuel Nutrition and Movement

My name is Leanne de Groot & I am a certified medicinal and functional nutritional counsellor and movement coach based on the East Coast of NSW. I inspire and empower women to discover their own unique nutrition, exercise, passion, and capacity to live a beautiful life without rush … so that they can model this with confidence and knowledge to support all their nearest and dearest’s health & wellbeing and in doing so we can all thrive. My contribution is the union of my experience as a nutritionist, mindfulness, meditation & movement coach with a deep interest and education in behaviour and how it impacts a life worth living. It’s quite likely a gene that I inherited from my father. The lack of an off switch fuels me to squeeze as much into 24 hours as possible. This superfast world has created a certain pressure to keep up, to skip steps, to rush. However, I think there’s an awareness in us all that rushing isn't just about moving faster, rather, it's an overall frame of mind where our beliefs become our opponent, and we haven’t been given the teachings to find our way through this. Now as a grand-mère of a three-year-old, I’m even more determined to figure out how we can think long term in a short term world. Teaching women how to do things today that will make tomorrow and the next years happier, easier and healthier for ourselves and our children. Healthy doesn’t mean complicated. Even when we are pressed for time, it’s possible to prepare balanced meals, burn calories, to nurture our bodies both physically and emotionally. Social media shouts out the success and everything that others are doing and it creates this mounting pressure that we are not doing, we are not moving fast enough, as bosses, workers, mums, weekend warriors, friends, lovers, parents, siblings, or grandparents. We must be willing to step outside the pull of unhealthy and unhealthful cultural norms and make the critical space to do our meaningful thinking. Wherever we are, this is life—it’s happening right now, and I’ve decided that I am not going to rush through it and I invite you to join me today …
