I'm Michelle a 49 year old midlife woman and Wellness Habits Coach. I live in Canterbury with my husband Rob and our 2 teens, Sonny & Martha. I've always worked in roles where people have been at the centre of what I do...... but I'll admit I haven't always looked after my mind & body. An unbalanced diet, excess processed food and alcohol, no exercise and a smoker with no focus on my mental health. My weight was increasing and generally, I wasn't feeling great. Starting a family in my 30's prompted a couple of wellness changes, but the magic moment came for me when at 35, I started my career in Health & Wellness. I learned the key principles in what supports us to live in better health, such as; nutrition, healthy weight loss, sleep, movement and emotional wellbeing . Along with techniques on how to apply them in real life. I've been priviledged to have worked with hundreds of adults, over 1000's of hours and I've seen how small, steps and personalised support can help people thrive in their life. In short it changed my whole life. I walked my talk, explored and applied the health training/behaviour change techniques to myself and by taking one step at a time, I began to thrive in my mind & body, which is where I am today. As a midlife, perimenopausal woman, I'm fully aware of the transition our body goes through during this phase of our lives along with the challenges that may arise. It's my passion and purpose in helping women like you to thrive, feel good and live the midlife you want.
