You balance a lot of responsibilities in your daily life. How do you manage all of them, while still maintaining beauty, health and wellness as priorities?
I put time aside, time to plan my day and my week in advance so I can achieve the work and wellness goals that I know work best for me.

I am really lucky to coach clients and be regularly reminded of how important it is to use the tools myself.

To unwind, to switch off and to relax. A lot of clients also come to us to release deep muscle tension and to cleanse and hydrate the skin. Spa is a wonderful way to allocate time out.

For me fitness incorporates strength, flexibility, nutrition and fitness. I am at the gym 5 mornings a week at 6am, I love feeling fit and strong.
