Fitness & Wellness Coach | Lover | Holistically Healthy And On A Journey To Self-Actualization

I was a 22year-old girl on a mission to lead my most ‘perfect’ life.
Like any girl, I had a plan. That plan was to get a gorgeous body, make enough money to pay my mortgage, find a boyfriend, have children, finish my business certificate and work my way up the corporate ladder.
That was my idea of ‘perfect.’ But on a 10-day trip to Darwin, my life was turned completely upside down. See, this ‘perfect’ life I was leading involved a lot of partying. And a lot of the wrong crowd. It was this excessive drinking and drug taking, lack of sleep and binge eating that left me lying alone, scared and vulnerable in a hospital bed. After a terrifying anxiety attack, I checked myself in.
It was here, lost and isolated in Darwin, that I realized my idea of ‘perfect’ was incredibly self-destructive to my health, and essentially my life. I had digestive problems, unhealthy nails and my hair was falling out. I had excess stomach fat, a bloated face and terrible skin. I was far from well and far from ‘perfect’. A complete reassessment of my ‘perfect’ life plan was beginning to evolve, and I was ready to start right there in the hospital room.
So what changed?
My friends circle definitely changed. Although it was tough, once I let go of that way of life, warm, caring and inspiring people began to appear in all areas of my life.
I got clean and started eating healthy.
I quit smoking.
I reached my goal weight.
I stopped maxing out credit cards.
I left my high paying government job and completed a fitness certificate.
And I can proudly say all of those goals were achieved in less than a year.
Go me!
So now my ‘perfect’ life plan looks a little like this.
I no longer strive to be ‘perfect’ or to lead the most ‘perfect’ life. I strive to lead a life that’s fulfilling, rewarding, inspiring and filled with love.
I discovered what ‘self-actualized’ meant to me, and remind myself of it every single day.
I am a certified Personal trainer.
I thrive on connections and feel a deep sense of satisfaction when I see people connecting back to what makes them happy.
Connecting back to their source, their happiness and their passion is key in life.
I know from first hand that change is possible, and it all starts with taking responsibility from your own health and wellness.
I am currently studying at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and the Mind Detox Academy.
So maybe you are starting to realize that the lifestyle you are currently living is not going to guarantee you long-term happiness. Or not even a healthy life. Maybe you have hit rock bottom and are living a life of fear. Or are you yearning for a deeper connection with people? For peace, love or freedom.
If so, I’m incredibly happy you stopped by and I would love to hear from you
