People often ask me, what made you want to change your life?

I can pinpoint the exact moment, it was the Christening of my third daughter. On that day, I felt so amazing and confident. I had a beautiful dress made and my hair and makeup were perfect.

When I received the photos from the photographer I was in complete shock. Who was I looking at? This person who was in these photos was not me. I recognised the dress, the hair and the makeup but the person I was looking at did not match the person who I felt I was on the inside. I was trapped. The reality was, I had a beautiful dress made because I couldn't find anything in any stores to fit me.

I was tired all the time because I wasn't nourishing my body with nutritious food. My joints were sore due to the excess weight I was carrying. I had hit rock bottom. Receiving those photos was the turning point in my life. I knew my next steps were not going to be easy. I had to give it everything I've got! I made small changes to my diet and focused on creating new healthy habits such as drinking more water and moving my body consistently.

This was the driving force for me to start sharing my journey online. When people would ask me for advice and to share my story, I knew that I wanted a career in the Wellness industry so I could help as many people as possible. I was that woman who felt trapped in her own body and was able to find a way out. I want to help others do the same. If I can do it, I truly believe anyone reading these words can do it too.
