How are you?
It’s been a while since I have touched based with you! I was creating more yummy healthy recipes recently and thought I would pass on one of my yummy recipes from The Power of Living Raw for you. The family will love it.
The year has kicked off and already we are in February. Such a beautiful time of the year. It is always a fun month for me and my girls with our birthday so close together and many friends also share birthdays around the same time and on the same day.
I am keeping myself busy this year in Sydney with updating the Bikini Mama and the NEW Shape and Shred 10 week coaching programme.
I am currently leading a group of women through this programme and every excited of their transformation and goals.
I love this job so much and wanted to let you know my coaching is going from strength to strength. The NEW Shape and Shred is designed to get you results even quicker while I keep my finger on the pulse of your coaching. Its motivating and supportive from week 1 - 10. Today the team got a very special Live Chat while I shared for the very first time my in depth story of How I recognised my own unhappiness and HOW I pulled myself out. It was a 35 min story to help inspire my team. I share some very personal and in depth stories how toxic my life was in my 20’s 26 years ago!
The testimonials are rolling through and I can hardly keep up with updating the stories on my website. But if you get some time check out some of the recent stories.
I am also very busy teaching Yoga in Sydney and in my local community, Mosman and Balmoral Beach, many of my sessions are now Private coaching sessions.
The Turmeric Tonic is going well and slowly sharing this healing juice with more and more people.
Mmmmmm speaking of Turmeric Tonic, can you just imaging the tonic going nicely with this recipe below?!!!
My brother likes to add sparkling water to his and dare I say it a drop of lemonade… ! I think he thinks he is doing something good for his body by drinking it even if he adds SUGAR!!!
My Dad has had is Hip operation and is recovering well, we are so blessed he could have a second chance at life and now is working hard to build up fitness and rid the tummy fat that piled on with not much movement, he was in a lot of pain for sometime.

CHECK OUT MAXENE STORY HEREMaxene contacted me 6 weeks before Xmas. She is now glowing and so happy she shifted the few kilos she struggled to move for years. Every time I bump into her in my community she is radiating and oozing more happiness and energy. Sorry but it’s true, when we shift a kilo or two it does add a bounce back in our step, I can really see this with Maxene, she is divine and gorgeous. Who said we have to get old and tired, and in pain. Maxene also drinks my Turmeric Tonic weekly.
In life, everything has timing, and for me that occurred 6 weeks ago when I bumped into Nicki Arthur in the locker rooms at my local gym.
I mentioned to her that I was constantly battling my 2-3 kgs weight gain which I wanted to rid and although I was quite vigilant during the week, after the weekends, I was back to square one!
Her wonderful face lit up and she said….”I can help you!!’
She told me that on her program we just needed to tweak certain things for the desired outcome.
Tweak she did and 6 weeks to the day, I have lost 4 kgs!!!
It was so easy and doable and her vivacious spirit and motivational enthusiasm
kept me on track, with weekly catch-ups, and weekly emails with recipes and shopping lists.
I feel amazing and love the fact that I can slip easily into clothes and have a new sense of eating properly.
I can only praise Nicki and would highly recommend her to anyone, as I already have.
