Total Body And Mind - Strandon

A little bit about me and how I got here. I took my 1st breath 1969. Lived most of my life in New Plymouth, Taranaki. Mother of 3 amazing adult boys now. Lived abroad 10years in the Middle East returning back to my land of the long white cloud. My passion for fitness and wellbeing started fully in my 45th year. I was overweight, made some bad eating choices, and generally didn’t feel that great about myself. I started to run (yip, a Forest Gump!), and I still remember the day I ran non-stop for 2km. After that, I was unstoppable. 9 Marathons (42kms), an ultra marathon (53km, with an elevation gain higher than Mt Egmont/Taranaki), lost count of all the ½ marathons in many countries around the world. These legs have run over 11000kms within a 6 years time frame. Running opened up my mind to get through some pretty challenging times, but I did it! I am very proud of myself for knowing my body and controlling my mind to get me through all the barriers that were in place to prevent me from achieving my goals. I returned to my home town of New Plymouth in September 2017 not knowing what to do. During a trip to Bali I found FlyHigh Yoga and did a 50 hour teacher’s training course. On my return I wanted to learn more on how the body works, so I started NZQA Levels 3&4 fitness consultant course through NZ Institute of Health and Fitness. This had its challenges with learning a new skill and going back to school after 30 years. (2 years on another challenging certification in Clinical Hypnotherapy) NZQA Level 3 & 4 Fitness consultant, Certified FlyHigh Yoga trainer at level 1 and 2 (which is advance training with adjustments). I am so excited of how far I have come in my body and mind. I want to give back some of my drive, positive energy, support, encouragement, and empowerment to others, so I created Total Body and Mind in 2019. Fast tracking, over the past few years I’ve been a magnet to so much more, holistic modality including Hot stone massage, reiki, mirmiri, access bars, theta DNA, cransIosacral and hypnotherapy. I love all the skills that I’ve learnt and practising to be the best version of myself for my healthy wellbeing, and to be able to share the gifts and tools I’m so passionate about to help support others into be the healthiest version of themselves. What I bring is mental and physical wellness for the body and mind, balance and harmony empathically. I do the up most to insure that I’m clear with my instruction, and demonstrations, practising with the best of my knowledge, to insure a safe service for my clients. Student of nature health- life time.
