My Journey to Holistic Health and Wellness

Introduction:
The seed for Moves for a Better YOU was planted in 2006, but my journey toward health and wellness began much earlier. Like many young women, my life revolved around my job and family. I was conscious of my weight but loved to cook and eat, relying on short-term diets to manage my health. In my twenties, I competed in Latin and Ballroom Dancing, but after moving to Australia and becoming a wife and mother, my exercise routine dwindled to walking the dog.

​

A Turning Point:
In 2006, I decided to join a 12-week fitness challenge, and it changed my perspective on what was possible. I learned that:

  • Making the right food choices doesn’t mean sacrificing delicious meals.

  • There’s a difference between exercising to create change and maintaining fitness.

  • Our bodies are remarkable systems capable of healing with the right care.

  • If you truly want something, you can achieve it!

Winning the challenge in the over-35 division at age 50 boosted my confidence and sparked an interest in becoming a personal trainer.

​

Finding Balance Through Yoga:
In 2011, I discovered Bikram Yoga during a challenging time in my life. Burnt out from long work hours and an overactive mind, yoga helped me regain mental clarity and cope with life’s challenges. This experience deepened my commitment to sharing the benefits of movement, mindfulness, and holistic health with others.

​

Moves for a Better YOU:
In 2016, I founded Moves for a Better YOU to help individuals transform their lives by listening to their bodies and embracing personalised health journeys. By 2018, I left the corporate world to dedicate myself fully to this mission.

​

What I Believe:

  • Health is a journey that includes mind, body, and heart.

  • There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to exercise or nutrition.

  • Improvement is possible at any age or stage of life.

  • Happiness and health require effort, but the results are worth it.
