If one more person asks me what a health coach does I might just…

August 25, 2014

TELL THEM WHAT I DO! Without a doubt in every IIN Mentoring coaching circle that I run, I’m asked the questions…. What do our qualifications actually mean? What do I call myself?

Who needs health care – the well or the sick?

June 27, 2014

It is said that the Chinese pay their doctors for keeping them well and stop paying when they fall ill. Well, that kinda throws our whole health care model on it’s head, doesn’t it? Sick care is more expensive than health care, so it makes more sense to focus on preventative medicine, instead of treatable medicine. So, we […]

June 19, 2014

I really enjoyed the camaraderie on the weekend. The Mindd Foundation held their 2014 Forum at the Civic Pavillion in Sydney and it was a chance to take my nutrition knowledge to another level by learning about the biochemical reasons why our bodies acts they way they do.

Sleep yourself to the top!

May 29, 2014

I admire Arianna Huffington for so many reasons. She has not only created a media empire, she was also chosen by Time as the World’s 100 Most Influential People – a true success in my eyes. I also admire her message about how we should sleep ourselves to the top. And she’s right! In 2007, Arianna collapsed from exhaustion and […]

May 22, 2014

Food has become a hot topic of conversation among friends these days. “Where did you go for dinner? What did you eat?

The man in the white coat

May 16, 2014

When I was a kid, I remember visiting the man in the white coat (well, because the family Doctor was usually a man and he tended to wear a white coat, that is just how I thought of him –  ‘the man in the white coat’). My appointments were usually just before summer camp. Dr S and I […]

May 8, 2014

I recently attended the first Australian conference for the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and connected with lots of students and graduates. When I described some of my experience being a Health Coach for the last 5 years, it seemed to have struck a chord with many graduates trying to build their own practice. I studied at IIN in 2009, before […]
