The possibility of change I know something about life’s challenges. My journey has been full of ups and downs, like most people’s. It’s amazing what life can throw at you. When I was in my early twenties I was deeply unhappy with my weight. I had a beautiful baby daughter but I was suffering the physical legacy of a loving Maltese family whose sweet-treat habits had left me uncomfortably overweight, feeling unhealthy and lost as to how to go about changing myself, my life and my health. I’ve always felt a connection to the energy that exists in the universe, and that is in each and every one of us.
As I reached my lowest ebb, something happened; some of that energy sparked within me. Not being a gym person, and finding it difficult with a baby I started with what I had, which was my own self. So I designed my own home exercise program. I wondered what else I could do, but already I’d made a great start on the path to my five-stone weight loss.
Realising you’re in control I began to examine my diet, to think about my portion sizes and the nutritional value of what I was eating. I realised I was in control of all of this and that there were some real changes I could make; the heavy pasta meals and deserts of my upbringing had to be reviewed. I continued to exercise from home. I worked on my cardio fitness, as well as increasing my strength and suppleness. My body was letting me know I was onto a good thing with my new habits; I began to feel better; I began to feel my mood lifting, feeling more positive with each passing day.
Realising you’re in control is a wonderful feeling. I lost five stone at home by myself with a baby. My new beginning began! I felt like the world was a different place. I started to study nutrition and other aspects of health and wellbeing. I knew I already had a gift for harnessing the universal life energy, or Reiki, but I wanted to bring this to others, to make my life about the fitness for body and mind that I was on the journey of. I studied nutrition and gained qualifications to teach spinning, boxercise, aerobics, circuit training, Pilates, meditation and gained my PT level 3. Crucially I studied Reiki, and the teaching of Reiki, gaining a master’s level to enable me to attune others, so they can use this vital energy for themselves and others.
Your new beginning I firmly believe that health and fitness programmes, for them to have the long-lasting, amazing benefits they can achieve, have to be about both physical and mental well-being. Each and every one of us needs uniquely different things. My consultations get to know you personally and the challenges that you face, within my private treatment room.
