Helping you nourish your body, build strength & create a balanced life that feels abundant & aligned 🌿

My journey into health & wellness wasn’t by accident — it was born from deep change and intention. In October 2022, a family health crisis cracked open the path I was on. It shook me to the core, made me question who I wanted to be, and challenged me to build a life aligned with purpose. I left behind hustle culture, re-evaluated my values, and began investing wholeheartedly in my vision. Since then, I’ve completed certifications in Nutrition, Fitness, Pilates, Life Coaching & NLP. My practices have transformed my body, mindset, and connection to self — and now my mission is clear:
To help others like you nourish thier mind, body & soul, move with intention, and create a life that feels expansive, balanced, and aligned.

2025 asked more of me than I expected… and gave me more in return than I ever imagined 🤍✨

This year stretched me, challenged me, and quietly changed the trajectory of my life.

I finished the year doing things I once only dreamed about
💪🏻 Completing my Cert III in Fitness + becoming a qualified Pilates Instructor
🧘🏻‍♀️ Teaching my own Pilates classes
🌿 Working as an online nutrition coach
🐋 And finally, after 30 years of dreaming, ticking whale watching off my bucket list ✨

So much of 2025 was about building foundations. Showing up when it felt uncomfortable. Staying consistent even when progress felt slow. Trusting that the work would eventually speak for itself.

And now… it is 🫶🏼

2026 feels different already.

I’m stepping into a milestone birthday, turning things up another notch, and getting curious about what my body, mind and career are capable of when I really back myself ✨

Next year looks like:
➡️ Growing my online community
➡️ Expanding my Pilates classes + introducing new styles
➡️ Creating teen workshops focused on nutrition, movement and mindset
➡️ And continuing to help women feel strong, grounded and confident in their bodies

I’m so proud of how far I’ve come and even more excited for what’s ahead.

If you’ve been building quietly this year, trusting the process, and laying foundations for what’s next… this is your reminder that it’s all adding up ✨

Here’s to 2026 and everything that’s about to unfold 🫶🏼

11/12/2025

It’s been a huge week, and honestly, my motivation and energy are both running pretty low.

But this is the part I want you to really hear:

Discipline will carry you in the moments motivation disappears ✨

The habits you’re building now, even when they feel hard or inconvenient, are the exact habits that will make you unstoppable in the long run.

Routines take time to build and they’re never perfect but, every choice you make in alignment with your goals strengthens that muscle.

So if today feels tough, you’re not alone.

Show up in whatever way you can.

✨ Tiny actions count.
✨ Consistency counts.
✨ You count.

Keep going, your future self will thank you🫶🏼🤍

Here’s what’s been on my plate lately 🍽️

As a Nutritionist, I keep my meals simple, satisfying and flexible because food should support your life, not take over it.

If you need realistic ideas you can actually stick to, be sure to FOLLOW along and SAVE for meal inspo 🤍✨

You can be healthy… and still live a real, balanced, messy, beautiful life 🫶🏻

Wellness isn’t about strict rules, “clean eating,” or discipline 24/7; it’s about creating a lifestyle that feels good, sustainable, and yours.

As I’ve grown (and almost hit 40 👀), I’ve realised something important:

✨ The healthiest version of you isn’t the one who follows the most rules…

It’s the one who finds balance you can actually live in.

Because health isn’t meant to shrink your life, it’s meant to expand it.

If you want movement that feels empowering, nutrition that feels realistic, and a lifestyle that has room for joy, treats, fun and flexibility…

You’re in the right place 🤍✨

📌 Follow along — wellness gets to be simple, balanced and sustainable here.

Shoutout to my fam who joined me on the mat this morning for a spicy core + glute burn 🍑🌶️🔥

You guys always brought the energy; thanks for showing up, moving with me, and letting me add just a little extra heat to your weekend 😏

Good luck with that after-burn tomorrow… you’re going to feel this one 😮‍💨

📩 COMMENT “CORE” and I’ll send you my 5 favourite Deep Core Exercises you can start doing this week.

Dead bugs are incredibly effective for strengthening your deep core BUT, only when you do them with proper control 👀

Most people:
➡️ arch their lower back
➡️ rush the movement
➡️ grip through their upper abs instead of engaging their TVA (transverse abdominis)

When you slow down, breathe intentionally, and keep your spine stable…

that’s when the magic (and the burn) happens 😮‍💨🔥

Want to level it up even more? Add a Pilates ring.

The extra resistance increases:
✨ deep core activation
✨ stability + coordination
✨ mind–body awareness
✨ and that spicy burn everyone secretly loves 🌶️

If you want a stronger, more supported core, start here.

📌 SAVE this for your next workout
