See you there xo
Eating healthy is one of the most common health and wellbeing goals, but so few people manage to make it a lasting reality. This is almost always because they put nasty restrictions on what they can and can’t eat, and end up feeling crappy.
To make themselves feel better, they’ll eat even more unhealthy food, and they’ll continue the cycle.
Studies show that those who prioritise being healthy over weight loss lose more weight long term, and are more likely to keep it off.
Swap negative goals like “I’ll fit into my skinny jeans in 4 weeks or I won’t eat carbs for a month” and switch your mindset to incorporating healthy, positive goals into your eating.
Once you focus on eating healthy food, you’re bound to lose weight anyway!
Print off this list and put it on your fridge. Put a tick next to each one when you’ve tried it.
1. Take Mason Jar salads to work for lunch; they're healthy & look beautiful. Layer salad dressing, then legumes, then greens, with tomatoes and nuts on top.
2. Add super foods to your diet (chia seeds, amaranth, spirulina, psyllium husks)
-Try adding them to smoothies if you struggle with the texture or taste
3. Add one extra veggie to your dinner every night. Try to aim for three to start, and work your way up to 5.
4. Eat vegetarian meals four out of seven days. Indian, vegetarian dishes are my favourites for hearty meat-free meals.
5. Occasionally swap bread for corn thins or rice crackers.
6. Take bliss balls to work for the 3pm slump instead of coffee.
7. Decrease your coffee intake by one cup a day (if you drink four now, try swapping one coffee for green tea instead - you'll save money too!)
None of the tips above are about limitation or deprivation, they’re about trying new, exciting things to brighten your plate, and give you more energy!

Reading a blog post isn't always enough - you might need some personalised, tailor-made help through a one-on-one session with me.
After getting to know you through an initial consultation form, I’ll help you understand what’s holding you back from eating healthy via a one-hour Skype session. From there, I’ll give you a tangible, meaningful Wellness Action Plan to help you move forward and get results.
Whether you choose one session or a package, the small, meaningful changes you make via your Wellness Action Plan will help you learn what's holding you back from having more energy and eating good, nutritious food. I'll help you become the person you long to be; the truly amazing person you are.
By spending this time together, you’ll get evidence-based steps to help you live a happier, healthier life.

So many of us need a chance to relax, take a minute, and look after ourselves. Unfortunately though, we're often too busy to think about ourselves, and end up stressed, tired and grumpy.
Thinking about weight loss becomes about punishment, avoidance and self loathing and you get fed up of thinking about it all. It doesn't have to be this way.

Only 3 days until out New Year, New You wellness retreat, and I’m getting so excited! We've still got 2 spots left - BOOK YOURS NOW!
You know how hard it is to make, and stick to new years resolutions? This retreat was created to help my guests set real, achievable goals, plus give them strategies to help them achieve their dreams in 2016.
Starting with a Yoga Pilates fusion class overlooking the stunning Shotover River, guests will get stretchy while learning how to activate and work their cores. Then, they'll learn how to use real food (not starvation!) to cleanse their bodies in the Nutrition Workshop.
We've never had goal setting at one of our retreats before, but since goals are such an important part of starting the new year, we had to include it! I’m hosting this session which uses techniques from WOOP; acknowledging what obstacles stand in your way, and devising strategies to overcome them.
The Collective Hub, an inspiring brand for entrepreneurs and dreamers, sent us gorgeous 2016 diaries for our guests. Jam-packed full of beautifully drawn motivational messages, these diaries are the perfect way to inspire our guests this year.
Even if you’ve never tried meditation before, it’s such a good way to slow down and reset for the new year. We’ll be meditating outside, overlooking the stunning Shotovoer canyon, surrounded by wildflowers at Nugget Point Boutique Hotel.
I’m so incredibly excited for our retreat on Saturday and to meet all our lovely guests. I just can’t wait to help people live happier, healthier lives in 2016 with proven wellness strategies and a splash of luxury.
Imagine gazing over a breathtaking canyon as a crystal clear river runs far below as you gently transition through your sun salutation. Surrounded by your best friends, this yoga class is the first time you’ve been able to relax and take a deep breath since your wedding planning began. Not only is it deeply calming sprinkled with lots of laughs, this special experience has given you and your friends an exclusive birds eye view of Queenstown landscape few people will ever see.
If you’re getting married in Queenstown, you’re probably so excited to hang out with your friends and family, but not sure exactly what you should do!
This beautiful mountain town has so many incredible activities from the Shotover Jet to bungy jumping, winery tours and everything in between. I’m excited to introduce the newest Queenstown activity for brides and bridal parties: Bespoke Wellness Retreats by Aprivé Wellness.
Whether you wish to have a fun yoga or Pilates class (or both!) followed by some laid back relaxation and meditation, a nutrition workshop, spa session, massage or wine tour, you can choose exactly how you wish to spend this special day of wellness and indulgence.
Wedding stress happens to the most laid back brides, but sometimes it threatens to ruin your destination wedding experience. A destination wedding involves every worry for a bride from looking after family members to finding venues and battling Queenstown’s ever-changing weather. By indulging in a half day, full day or overnight wellness retreat with you friends and family, everyone can take a breath and relax into the luscious beauty of this mountain town, plus have lots of laughs and a whole lot of fun.
Your bespoke wellness experience is designed just for you, and can include whatever you wish. If you’re a hardcore health nut and want a day packed full of yoga, hiking, stretching, Pilates and a healthy lunch, I can create a luxury version just for you.
If you’re more into balanced wellness, I can create a fun day for you and your friends with relaxed yogalates, meditation, herbal tea and spa relaxation finished with some local wine tasting.
Don’t let wedding stress ruin the lead up to your special day. Let me organise a beautiful, inspiring and happy day for you and your friends so you can recharge and rejuvenate for your wedding day.
