My intentions have always been crystal clear on my own fitness health journey all of my life and over the past eight  years of changing careers and doing this everyday as a job.

My passion and intentions is to always  empower women to become strong in mind body & soul, to Inspire them to BELIEVE  they can achieve - especially in times when you feel like your world is caving in around you.

My message has been always been my own mantra... 'yes I can do it  and I will do it."

To educate others on this  holistic amazing path that it doesn’t matter what age you are, how tired you feel, or sick or busy, it’s never too late to start building strength in mind body & soul to TRANSFORM. 

Life throws challenges, we all fall off track but what counts is the knowing when it is time to get back on track and get yourself back in the saddle or drivers seat of your life.

PS Here is one of my fav raw vegan cakes I created for my second book The Power of Living Raw.

Banoffee Pie

This is my absolute favorite dessert to make. It tastes great topped with fresh bananas and the coconut yogurt adds a creamy texture. This one will wow your guests.

Serves 6–8

For the Crust


1 cup almonds
3 fresh dates (use 1⁄2 cup pitted dates, soaked, if you can’t get fresh) 1 tablespoon maple syrup

For the Filling
2 tablespoons coconut oil, plus extra for greasing 3 tablespoons cacao powder
2 tablespoons honey
1⁄4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or Celtic sea salt

For the Topping
Coconut Yoghurt – or real full cream…! Sliced Bananas  and fresh blue berries to decorate, Sprinkle cinnamon or cacao.

To make the crust, blend all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or blender until it binds together. Press out into a 10 in (25 cm) flan dish lightly greased with coconut oil, and press up the sides. Freeze to set.

To make the filling, melt the coconut oil, then stir in the cacao powder, honey and salt. Pour the filling on top of the crust, then freeze again until set.

Once the chocolate sauce is set, you can bring it out of the freezer and top with bananas, yoghurt or cream. I love to add blue berries on and a couple of candles if there is a birthday. YUM!

Are you heading off on a holiday soon?

Are you heading off on a holiday soon?

Winter in nearly over. I don't know what it is like in your town or village  but here in Mosman "everyone" literally heads over seas for a European Summer Holiday, so I have been busy prepping a few of my coaching clients for their travel ahead. I wanted to share these tips with you.  My two darlings and I went on an overseas holiday recently and these are tools I have taken for granted over my own healthand fitness journey, and  that I have practiced  for many  years without thinking anything of it.  I have to say my girls do notice and I guess raising them up around this way of life one day down the track when they are older or heading off on an overseas holiday as an adult hopefully they will remember some helpful tips.  Here is what body building helped me to learn back in my twenties. I travelled a lot for work and it had to become part of my life to pack and organise ahead how I was going to travel, eat out, and stay on track. Let me know how you go, just reply to the email and touch base anytime. I welcome your feedback and love to hear how you are.  By the way if you are feeling off track or needing a kick start do let me know so we can hop on a call together and discuss you goals. Travel Tips Every gone away on that dream holiday and returned a few kg heavier. It happens to all of us, especially if you are flying far. Just stepping on the plane your fluid retention goes up. Which means the scales go up? You know how passionate I am about throwing the scales away and using the mirror or your clothes as a guide. When you can look in the mirror and see health vitality and a fit toned slender body coming back at you, you have won. It doesn’t matter what the scales say. Try not to define yourself by a number, who cares what that number is. We are all different, sizes, height, bone density. Muscle weighs heavier than fat, it is a fact. So, while you are travelling you may increase your weight a little so it is very important NOT weigh yourself on your arrival home. Check out all my travelling tips to keep you fit, healthy and feeling happy and amazing while travelling so you can enjoy the fullness of you holiday. Week prior travel I have eaten very clean all the way to LA choosing the vegan option with raw fresh humus and fresh raw vegetables sticks and fruit served by ordering ahead through my airline.  Pre-order Vegan Option with your airline. The day of travel and for the plane Important to prepare all your food the night before just like you would normally. Pack solids rather than liquids as you cannot get through international security with fluids As a tip, you can make a green juice/smoothie to take to the airport but be prepared to have this finished by security. Eat as structured as you can be leading up to your flight, and the day before, knowing that the day of travel wont quite be the same. Even though you have ticked vegan, don’t ever rely on plane food to be exactly as you anticipated. Pack your back up plan, see below. Take a food bag specifically for your healthy nutrition and tea cup with plenty of herbal teas, so you can sit back relax with all your comforts What food & drinks to pack for the plane I travel a lot and when I was competing in Fitness Comps in my 20’s over 20 years ago I learnt fast never to trust plane food, I did this every time and still do today. Pack protein powder, in a container you can easily mix –see my shakers Pack your green tea sachets or green tea bags + camomile tea for sleep time Punnet of strawberries are great for sweet tooth moments Dried dates, but not too many, depending on length of the flight, 5 dates should be plenty Mix of nuts & seeds, goji berries Water can be tricky, I always try to remember to buy a litre once through the security, as you just never seem to get enough water on the plane in to your body. Pack a throw away container of Fresh greens, I take spinach leaves as you can roll the dates and almond in the spinach. If you are eating protein, pack 1-2 chicken breast pre-sliced or diced. (fish too smelly) Don’t worry too much about carbs as you are sitting and relaxing, you don’t need the heavier carbs, but if you are travelling with your hubby or partner, you could pack a container of sweet potato chips pre-baked the night before with rosemary, coconut oil and Himalayan salt. This would be a good idea when you are on a 12-hour flight. Have a sweet tooth- you could always pack a raw vegan protein ball (see recipe)  More Travel Tips  Eliminate jet lag tip- I have tested and tried this No bread, carbs, only wat fruit and vegetables, load up on water and herbal teas Listen to meditation music and meditate Stretch on the plane and move every so often. Set your time clock and time zone best you can straight away so you can trick your mind you have switched time zones. Healthy Nutrition Meditation and Sleep is the key  Looking for a one on one Mentor Coach? I offer tailored packages to suit your own body, lifestyle and budget. All you have to do is reply YES PLEASE and I will be in touch with a call to discuss where you are at and how I can help you. Deb worked with me one on one for 15 weeks and then went on her overseas holiday this month and came home a kilo lighter, but not only that feeling energised healthy and in control of her life and choices. Well done Deb, you look amazing.

Footy Final Snacks - Feed Your Soul

It is that time of the year, where everyone is getting excited about their fav team, getting together with friends and watching the finals over a few drinks and snacks. I have the perfect snack for you to keep those weekend get togethers HEALTHY.

It is a  recipe as I have fine tuned more and more over the years and I wanted to share it with you.

You could enjoy it with a avocado & lime dip or my raw hummus recipe.

Made with Pumpkin Seeds

High in zinc and important for prostate health, pumpkin seeds are also rich in magnesium, omega-3 fats and anti-oxidants.

1 -2 cups kale, washed
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup sunflower seeds (or almond meal)
1tspoon dreid oregano
1 tspoon dried rosemary
1 tspoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon coconut oil - or olive oil
1-2 Tbspoon water if need

Blend or use food processor with kale + all dry ingredients - add melted oil. Once it has bind together like a dough like texture, remove from processor and squeeze together, check it is sticking together, if not use the water to help it bind, but not too much as you want it to dehydrate out as much as possible, I find the moisture from the kale is enough.

Press out onto baking paper on a tray and deydrate, if you don't have a dehydrator use the oven on 150 degree, but watch it as the seeds can burn quickly. Depending on your oven it could take 25 mins - 40 mins
