‘ My passion for my business grows everyday’

I

T WAS ALWAYS A DREAM OF MINE TO have my own business. All through high school and even while studying at University I always thought I would one day have my own business. I loved the idea of being the owner of a surf shop or clothing store, it seemed like such a fun thing to do, but it really wasn’ t a passion that lit me up inside or made me smile from ear to ear.
Throughout my life I had worked in many varying jobs and roles from waitressing, retail assistance, bookkeeping and even managed a modelling agency for a few years.
In 2010 when I made the decision to totally change my career path and begin a career in the health and wellness industry, I had no idea of the incredible journey I was about to embark on. That one decision would forever change my life and allow me to work in an industry that I didn’ t even consider originally because I truly loved it so much.
My journey to start a business in the wellness industry really started back many years ago when I first discovered the power of natural and alternative medicine. It opened my eyes to this whole new world out there of therapies and modalities that I could see were changing peoples lives. I began to study, read books, watch documentaries and absorb as much information that I possibly could. I was seeing my own health improve and officially fell in love with the wellness industry.
I studied as a personal trainer and officially opened my own studio. In the years to follow I continued my path into the wellness industry completing many more years of study with a certificate in Nutrition and Wellness Coaching. This lead me to further study as a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I then completed my yoga teacher training and finally studied essential oils as a Health & Lifestyle Educator.
I now run a Boutique Holistic Health Practice for Women where every day I have the opportunity to change someone’ s life for the better. I love what I do and find it both fulfilling and rewarding to be able to have such an impact on others wellbeing.
My clients inspire, motivate and teach me everyday. Its not only I who changes their lives, but they too change mine.
