Chronically Fatigued & Endless Digestive Issues

(image from Montville Organic Skincare. See here for more)

The journey with Jaz has been rewarding for SO many reasons, but mostly because she is SO young and was struggling just to keep up with life at such a tender age...

When she came to me for help I was immediately confident that we could get her back to her former- and TRUE- glory with just a few little adjustments!

I am incredibly grateful we found each other and I thank and congratulate YOU Jaz for being so pro-active in seeking advice, help, guidance and information when you had been told otherwise "the way it was"... I just LOVE it when people do not buy into labels and limitations!

You are an inspiration gorgeous for so many others out there!

Just look at her go! xoxo

"Before I started working with Bridget my immune system was so weak I would come down with whatever sickness was going around at least once per month. I had glandular fever at the end of 2007, which left me in bed for 3 weeks and my immunity wrecked.

Since then I have had low levels of energy where I would feel lethargic and tired through out the day even with 8 hours of sleep each night! I would stress a lot and was diagnosed with chronic stress at the beginning of 2010. Also I suffered digestive problems for the last 2 years. I was finding it hard to keep up with full time university studies and life in general.

I was so desperate to get back to what would be a normal 21 year old’s energy, health and motivation. I had enough of struggling with so many health problems (considering I was a healthy weight and fairly fit) and causing strain on my relationships.

After seeing a few different doctors without any results I didn’t know what to do. So when my mum heard about Bridget’s consultations she suggested I give that a go.

4 months later I am already greatly improved and feeling wonderful. I have so much more energy and I am able to get up in the morning and don’t feel tired until bedtime. I don’t stress as much and I am starting to reap the benefits of a low stress life.

I haven’t been sick since the beginning of my fortnightly sessions with Bridget and my digestive problems are improving each week through implementing what I’ve learnt.

Bridget has been my motivation, support and inspiration for the last 4 months and armed with the knowledge she has given me I am really motivated to stay healthy and happy. My time with Bridget has been one of the best things to come into my life and I am so grateful for the impact she has had on my life." Jaz. G, Maroochydore, QLD

"Your health is everything...Discover your TRUE health potential"

Flowers and Sunshine after surviving Cancer??

The journey with Emma, as all of my client journeys are, has been incredibly profound. I am so honoured and blessed to share such amazing experiences with such gorgeous people.

I LOVE what I do, never take for granted how much people open up and share with me and constantly feel renewed, enlivened and INSPIRED by the transformation I get to witness in each person! :)

I just LOVE that they end up being able to see themselves as I did from the very beginning! It is BEAUTIFUL!

Thank you Emma!

You will always be close to my heart gorgeous!

"I was in a pretty low place emotionally, physically & mentally before I met Bridget. I went through cancer at the age of 25 & I’m now in my second year of remission. People perceive that after surviving cancer that your life must be flowers & sunshine...this was not the case for me.

I struggled emotionally & mentally to pick up my life again. I became extremely low in confidence from putting on extra weight & with physical scarring from operations.

Then I found Bridget this beautiful bubbly being! We clicked & both had a lot of the same views on life. I knew the person I wanted to be but just couldn’t see out of the dark & I would keep putting the brake on to move forward in my life therefore continually self sabotaging my life. Bridget helped me to really see myself & realise my beauty. She helped me to stop just imagining what I want in my life & how to actually take the steps to make it happen. It really helped me through that time to have someone there to talk through all sorts of issues from an objective perspective.

Through the months with Bridget I learnt a lot about nutrition & I have now adapted a great healthy & easy way to eat that gives me so much more energy. However the biggest lesson was...... that the emotional & mental aspects of you need to be in balance before a physical change can be made, to really be ultimately happy.

I am now the strongest emotionally & mentally I have been in years! Bridget helped me to get on the right path. I will be forever grateful.

Thank you Bridget, Love you :) xx" Emma. O, Nambour, QLD

Magical Marriage for Margie Once Again!

"To say I was in a bad place when I first emailed Bridget would be a massive understatement of fact! I was beyond bad I was lost. Truly lost. I had no sense of self worth and would look in the mirror and not even recognize my reflection.

The first session with Bridget was an eye opener, I was truly miserable but talking to Bridget was like a breath of fresh air.

I felt rejuvenated and excited. This was the first day of my rediscovery.

The tension between my husband and I was also disappearing. We were laughing again and having fun again. My husband summed it up beautifully one day at breakfast “Honey it’s so good to have you back to being you again. It really makes me happy to see you happy” I cried.

Thank you Bridget for giving me the greatest gift ever…..myself.

To all of you that are unsure whether to call Bridget or email her do it!

Stop thinking (take this advice from an over thinker!!).

Life is beautiful start living it!!!!"

A happy runner

Hi Bridget,

Our short session yesterday was a bit of an eye opener for me and I think it made me put everything thats going on right now into perspective.

You made me look at the bigger picture and made me realise that I actually do not have a 'problem' :)

I really liked how you suggested little changes in my diet (and how they can have a big effect on weight loss/maintaining healthy weight and having enough energy for training).

It's good to hear your own stories re: training/overtraining/stress/eating and it made me realise that I am not so different from other people.

I loved the animal cards, generally not into that kinda stuff (too spiritual for me) but the cards definitely applied to me and I am amazed that you got me 'figured' out just from one short phone conversation and a few emails and sms, you really know your stuff:)

Even if I already knew some of the things that you told me in the meeting yesterday, I think its sometimes important to hear it from someone else to realise whats actually going on.

I was more positive after talking to you yesterday and I am confident that I am able to incorporate those little changes into my everyday life (ie. chill out more and let othe people take control).

I think that I got so much more than just diet advice out of that one session with you, thanks heaps:)

Freya :)

If you'd LOVE the opportunity to have a PASSIONATE expert take a look at your situation- what you are CURRENTLY doing and where you want to be- I would LOVE to hear from you!
Normally I only take on clients for a minimum of 4 months however, my experience with Freya has reminded me I can serve people greatly in just 1 session if they feel they can implement the advice themselves.
So, if you would like some advice, please contact me for an appraisal :)

Email bridget@newleafnutrition.com.au

My passion is to help you find YOUR "Path of least resitance" to the Energy, Body, Health and Fitness you'd LOVE! :)

Phunky Phaedra

This girl has serious character and a "go-get-em" attitude that I just LOVE! :)

Working with Phaedra was HEAPS of fun and this little dynamo was able to achieve such MASSIVE results in the physical, emotional and mindset areas because of her unrelenting commitment and focus DESPITE an incredibly hectic schedule!

Not only does this inspiring young woman attend Uni, she also works part-time, has a HUGE social life, plays LOTS of sport AND manages to fit in a ripper fitness schedule too!

A LOVE of life, people and LIVING no doubt fuels her renewing energy and keeps her enjoying all life has to offer :) Oh! And the fabulous nutrition and lifestyle habits she has now gleaned will also be adding to that! ;p

Here is what Phaedra said of our time together:

"Before I met Bridget I was only putting on more and more weight. I needed to do something about this problem because it was making me feel depressed, frustrated, and over it. I felt that I needed to change my lifestyle and become a healthier person.

I had tried so many different fads and diets, and my weight problem just became a yoyo.

After our first session I thought that this was going to become my biggest challenge in life, this was going to be the hardest thing I had to do, and the most important! I felt nervous and afraid to try this new way...

But as we went on I learnt many things that change this perspective for me.

It began with the way I looked at food, the choices I began to make about what food I ate. I started to feel happier, and healthier, and people slowly noticed a difference in my behavior and a slow weight loss.

Now I feel a lot more confident about myself, I feel so much healthier and so much fitter.

The key things I learnt were about different types of food and trying new things. It really opened up my eyes and showed me new ways :)

My favourite part of working with Bridget was that I got the result that I wanted- she is such an inspiration.

I would DEFINITELY recommend this approach and working with Bridget to anyone out there finally looking to achieve higher energy levels, weight loss, happiness and a much healthier lifestyle!

It has worked for me!"

Working with clients like Phaedra gives me such a BUZZ and TINGLE and truly fulfills my PASSION in life! :)

It is my intention to share far and wide my FUN, SIMPLE and HAPPY approach to a diet-free-forever lifestyle that is all about the GOOD NEWS health message!

No more BAD news...no more should's, shouldn't's, have to's...!

Just simple perspective shifts and a new YUMMY way of looking at life and food! :)

Thanks for the journey Phaedra!

YOU are an inspiration!! :)

Go get 'em GIRL! :)

Karen's Kicking Goals!

I first met Karen at a Supermarket Safari over a year ago now. We had, I guess, somewhat of an e-relationship, as Karen recieved my newsletters and kept abreast of my perspective through her gym's newsletter.

Then mid-august of this year she called me to find out more about how I could help her achieve what it was she was seeking. A back injury set back our face to face meeting for quite some time, yet by mid-September we had commenced our journey.

Feeling FLAT, TIRED, FRUSTRATED, FAT, in PAIN and having NO MOTIVATION, Karen hopped on board the New Leaf ship with a lot of HOPE for change.

With a serious family history of heart disease, including the early passing of her dear brother, Karen knew life was short and wanted to really start LIVING with passion, energy, fitness and health. She craved the figure she had when she was married, knowing that at this weight and physique, she felt HERSELF!

Karen was also looking for her lost confidence, as it was holding her back and affecting everything in her life, especially relationships with those she loves most.

A second honeymoon, her family, as well as a photo of herself in a stage show ("(I)am horrified....it's time to do something") were her motivation for finally taking action. Having tried a high protein diet and a heavy commitment at a gym regime, Karen was looking for something that would once and for all teach her how to LIVE EVERYDAY HEALTHY, not just a short term "lose-weight no matter the cost" approach.

Fast forward to today, not quite even 3 months later, and Karen has shed 6kg, is looking and feeling FAB, AND had a BLAST on her second honeymoon- enjoying herself fully and NOT wasting energy being worried about her body! What a change!

Her back pain is MUCH improved- to the point she is now able to step up her physical activity! This is significant given only 3 months earlier Karen was bed-ridden with her back condition!

Her boys (early teens) are also coming on board, even if it is slow :) Now enjoying and preparing salads together as well as NEW dishes, such as a pumpkin flan, fish and MUCH more, the entire FAMILY is becoming healthier, happier and more VIBRANT!

Hubby has also, just by accident (!!!), lost a few belt notches...which is a wonderful bonus for them both! ;p haha

Everything is coming together nicely and I think Karen would agree that where she is NOW feels WORLDS apart from where she was back THEN!!

Well done Karen :)

You ARE looking fabulous and you ARE doing such an amazing job :) You should be incredibly proud and THANK YOU for being such a great example and inspiration to others out there!

We LOVE you!

Mwah! xoxoxo

"Your health is everything...Discover your TRUE health potential"

Bodacious Beth BLASTS them all!

Well, as often happens, another of my STAR recruits GRADUATED from New Leaf Nutrition school just the other day! :)

Our journey together started only in July, and in 4 short months, I am pleased to announce Miss Beth is almost a new person!

Well, in all honesty, she is just now more FREE and CONFIDENT to BE herself and to not hold back and hide from the world.

Although Beth admits in the beginning she THOUGHT she was a HAPPY and POSITIVE person, she now claims, "Who was I kidding?! I don't think people realise what REALLY feeling good feels like; I don't think they know the difference"

Beth came to me initially because she was looking for a change in lifestyle. She was not happy within herself and she wanted to lose weight. Her self-esteem, confidence and social self were affected by how she felt about herself. "I just don't like the package I'm in...I'm not comfortable in my own skin... I miss out on stuff I want to go for...I'm too embarrassed to go jogging...I feel a little older (than I am)...even though I know being active is good for me, both physically and mentally, it all just seems too hard sometimes..."

Fast forward to now and this girl is UNSTOPPABLE!!



Joining in a 21 day fitness challenge, run my one of my very good friends, and AMAZING trainer Tiago Amaral of surrender2fitness.com.au, Beth not only showed up and gave it her best, she also BLASTED everyone else out of the water dropping a whopping 3.7 kg in 3 weeks and 21 cm from her waist! Incredible!

You should see this girl in action! You would NEVER guess she is the same Beth from July !!

"The biggest difference between now and when I started with you is my headspace. I'm not constantly consumed with feeling bad. I'm making good choices and FEELING GOOD. So simple! I just cannot put a value on the difference"

Beth's food choices have dramatically changed and she is now free of her Coke addiction! Something she NEVER thought possible! :)

Of course she is making the choices that make her FEEL GOOD and her preferences have naturally changed. She still eats out often, has social events to attend and of course enjoys drinks with the girls. Its all about knowing what is good for YOUR body and learning how to get in in the balance that suits your unique lifestyle.

It has been a PLEASURE working with Beth and I will sincerely miss our catch ups! Such a beautiful personality with SO much happiness to share- one of those smiles that just makes you smile too! :)

Here is what the WONDER WOMAN herself has to say of her experience:

"When I first came to see you, I really felt like I had run out of options and this was the last chance to get my bum into gear and do something about feeling good about myself.

My weight was definitely an issue but more importantly I really felt like I had to get my head space right. I was constantly consumed about feeling bad and negative thoughts about my food choices. I’d be good for a few days and then just ruin it by eating something unhealthy and then thinking “oh whats the point?”

I also had it in my head that there was something I wasn’t quite getting, it was right there on the tip of my tongue but I just couldn’t put my finger on it.

YOU HELPED ME FIGURE IT OUT!

Feel good. How simple is it? Whatever it is you do FEEL GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! If I know having that coke will have me thinking about it for the rest of the afternoon and feeling bad, well don’t have it. And by not having it, I feel good for making a good decision. Its seriously that easy. There have been times I’d had a coke and its been awesome but I find them getting less and less and even coke zero and Bacardi is tasting ok (has the world gone crazy!)

I’ve found myself doing things I would never have thought I would do. For example – doing some Christmas shopping, I was thinking about what else I could buy people that didn’t involved chocolates or alcohol. I don’t want that for myself so why would I promote that for other people – they will get enough from other people anyway! Another thing on my recent holidays, instead of thinking “cool I can veg out, eat and drink all I want, no excerise” Instead I was excited about still keeping active and eating healthier than I would have otherwise. I wouldn’t have thought I would ever be that way!

Putting my whole journey into a positive light instead of a negative =- no you cant have this and no you cant have that, has been the best thing. I still have quite a way to go but I feel 100% more prepared mentally and you’ve given me the tools to carry on and not expect perfection all the time. I can totally do this :)

I could go on and on about the changes I know I’ve made, but in a nutshell, I’m 100% more openminded and happier and optimistic about everything. I know if I make good choices, the effect that has on my mind body and soul is invaluable!

You rock Bridget!"


Thank you gorgeous and continue to enjoy the good living lifestyle!
