If you want to be stronger, leaner and more confident, lose weight without restrictive dieting, and transform your mindset by building postive habits, I can help.
Be better than well®
To be better than well means working on your physical, nutritional, mental, spiritual and social fitness because whilst these things might feel distinct, they are all interconnected in many ways. Think of it like a virtuous, or vicious, circle:
In the virtuous circle, we feel happy and confident, and so we tend to make better choices in terms of our diet. Those choices have a positive impact on our physical health, which improves our mood, and encourages us to take more exercise. We feel good about ourselves, so we spend more time with friends and family.
In the vicious circle however, our mood is low, so we make poor choices in terms of what we eat. Those poor diet choices affect our physical health, which in turn effects our mood. We don’t feel good about ourselves, so we stop exercising or going out as much, so our relationships suffer.

Strong Mind
Just like waves in the sea, life is unpredictable and can throw us off balance. What sets us apart is our ability to withstand and adapt to these changes and challenges, rather than trying to resist or control them.
I’ll support you to build positive habits that strengthen you mentally, spiritually and socially, not just as tools for navigating tough times, but also as indispensable skills for everyday living.

Things to consider if you feel a little stuck
It's a nearly universal human experience to feel stuck at some point - in life, in a career, a relationship or even in identifying the next goal. Here are a few thoughts you might consider to get yourself unstuck.
Is coffee good or bad for your health? Yes.
I’m often asked if coffee is good or bad for us….and the answer is yes. It depends on how much you drink, when and how often. It also depends on the person. Like with many things we enjoy, moderation is key with caffeine, too.
Five minutes a day to lower your cancer risk
Just 4.5 minutes per day of vigorous physical activity, performed in 1-minute bursts, is associated with up to a 30% reduction in all-cause and cancer mortality risk and up to a 34% reduction in CVD mortality risk.
It’s important to make time for cardio
Your resting heart rate (RHR), heart rate variability (HRV) and VO2 max (the volume of oxygen your body uses while exercising as hard as you can) are much better predictors of your future health than how much you can lift.
