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!
