It goes something like this…
Born, school, jobs (various), lessons learned, brought up a family together with running my own business, got older and wiser, more lessons learned…well that’s how life goes right?

I think we all wish it was that simple sometimes…

Let me fill in the blanks a bit.  It’s funny how when you look back you can see how all those lessons lead me here, but when you’re in it, there can be no clarity at all. 
It’s only when you stand back and get a wider perspective, you see how all those pieces fit together. 

I’ll explain…

Life was going on fine.  I was busy bringing up a family & running my own business.  I hadn’t realised that time was moving on until one day, getting out of bed I started making those, (what I like to call)  “those old lady noises”.  You know the ones, the ones that come from your knees or any other joints for that matter…like twigs snapping.  I remember thinking…surely not… is this really what I’ve got to accept at my age?  Is this what getting older, is this just what happens? 

Thing is, I’ve never liked exercise, all that huffing and puffing, no thanks, that’s just not for me.  Can’t be doing with all that.  But deep down I knew I had to do something. 

Luckly enough, after a chance conversation with a close friend I discovered Nia.  Nia is a combination of martial arts & the healing arts.  Sounds odd? Yep, that’s what I thought too.  But being, what my family call me “a funny little thing” and also with an inquisitive nature, I thought bugger it! Let’s give it a go.  I fell in love with it, with how it made me feel.  I found that it lifted my spirits as well as my bum, so that was it.  I really wanted to share it, so decided to train to teach it.  Before I knew it, I was running 4 classes a week to people just like me.  We had a lot of laughs. 
As the weeks went by, I noticed I’d become much more supple and toned (no more old lady noises), but my weight was staying the same.  How could all this exercise not cause any weight loss? I was flummoxed.  It got me thinking…
It was at that point that low carb and keto eating came into my life.  It gave me a totally different way of thinking about food and flew in the face of what I thought I knew about healthy eating.  I threw myself into it, training with the amazing Professor Noakes.  It blew my mind and the results followed. 

I felt amazing too.  I knew this newfound knowledge had to be shared and after completing my health coaching, diabetes & chronic disease certification, I set about finding collaborators and like minded individuals, including a retired GP with his own keto story to tell, to create a business model to enable us to effectively deliver this information is a simple and concise programme to help those with type 2 diabetes to reverse the condition.

Our first clinic opened its doors in 2021 and we’ve seen some incredible results.  This gives me so much joy, seeing the transformation in our clients as the weeks go by.  You see them physically change as well as how they feel about themselves too.

Today, you’ll find me booking appointments with private clients who have the will to make a change & want support to gain insight into a new way of eating and thinking about food, which can revolutionise how they feel about themselves and give them the energy to get the most out of life.
