Why Embodied 

About me

My practice, experience and my values

I started off in the world of science first, getting my Bachelors in Food and Health Science. I interned at the International Life Sciences Institute in Europe, and I was in the gym at least 5 days a week. Running at the weekends. Trying to find the best workout split, the best pre workout meal, the best post workout shake, the best night time snack

It was so. Damn. Exhausting

I'd spend the week waiting for a cheat day, and it would break me 

I knew there had to be a better way

And I knew I wanted to share that knowledge. That's why I left the office world behind and studied to become a Personal Trainer. I knew I was giving up money and comfort and the ease of familiarity

But I followed that passion anyway

You've been sold on the idea that fitness is a full time job, that you have to sacrifice, push through, that you must give it 110% of your focus

Well that's just a fucking lie

So what does Embodying fitness look like?

Well that photo on the right? That's not a cheat meal

It's not a binge or throwing caution to the wind, it's enjoyment

I don't sacrifice fun for abs (and I don't trade in the abs for fun either!)

Something I learned in both worlds, is that people are set in their ways. Refusing to take risks, to experiment, to ask themselves 'what if?'

I cut my workouts in half. 3 workouts per week, sometimes 2! And my strength exploded

I stopped trying to tell myself I wanted to weigh out cottage cheese every night before bed. Getting lean has never been so easy

I traded grueling cardio for things I actually enjoyed. Hiking, surfing, sprinting, boxing. Things that enriched my life, not dominated it
