About Health Coaching

Helping you to achieve your health and well-being goals

Hey there...

"I'll sleep when I'm dead" used to be my mantra. I worked hard and played harder. As a result my body, mind and soul suffered.

Eventually, I realised my approach of trying everything - keto, juicing, F45 - no longer served me. So I started on a journey to deepen my knowledge of and passion for holistic health.

This pursuit took me to India where I did my Yoga Teacher Training. I deepened my understanding of Ayurveda - the Indian 'Science of Life' - while I was there, discovering the principles of staying well and in balance.

I'm now a PreKure Certified Health Coach and a member of the Health Coaches Australia and New Zealand Association (HCANZA).

My philosophy is all about "prevention is cure". That small steps lead to big transformations,

And my purpose? Well it's to walk that path with you.

To help you feel like yourself again. And to discover the healthy, balanced and nourished person you want to be.

What is Santosha?

Santosha (pronounced san-toe-sha) is a beautiful Sanskrit word that means contentment or inner peace.

In yogic philosophy, it’s one of the Niyamas—the inner observances of how to live well, as outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Santosha is about finding satisfaction in the present moment, accepting life as it is, and letting go of the constant striving for “more” that often leads to stress and burnout.

In essence, Santosha means:

Being at peace with yourself
Gratitude for what you have
Finding joy in simplicity
Trusting that you are enough

It’s not about giving up on growth or ambition—it’s about pursuing your goals from a place of wholeness, not lack.
