I’m absolutely joyous to share this story with you, Emma’s story. And thrilled to tell you that this is going to be a new section of my blog – success stories, because there are SO many of them and I want to share this joy. My hope is that it will inspire you to better health.

You will always see a common theme with my clients who are successful – 2 words: lifestyle change.

I consulted Emma from Australia via Skype and she fully embraced her plan. When she came to me, she was ready for a lifestyle change, not just a “diet”. Diets don’t work and this is why I don’t recommend them. Deprivation does not work.

Here is Emma’s story, in her words:

“Since starting with you not only am I more aware of what I’m putting in my mouth but I’ve started to LOVE cooking and finding ways to ‘healthify’ old recipes. It’s amazing what you can hide chia seeds in. I’ve become in tune with my body.

My hair and skin is amazing now, no dry frizzy hair or dry skin any more. I’ve lost 7.5kg (17.6lbs)! Without even thinking about calories or watching what I eat. I eat more food than I was when I was when I calorie counting but with no results.

But other than with my food your influence has made a big difference, you recommended I keep a journal of 100 things I’m grateful for, I have a small notebook now that when I’m feeling grumpy or sorry for myself I whip it out and write something I’m grateful for, it lifts my mood straight away. I’ve stopped punishing my body with days of intense exercises and have replaced with yoga and pilates and feel so much better for it, both physically and mentally.

I’ve started noticing whats in my body products I was using, with so many nasty chemicals that I was forcing onto myself. I’ve replaced with products that are ethical and safe to use and it makes a HUGE difference, my skin is softer and far less problematic. We also managed to replace all our plastic containers with glass and since no longer feeling  like I’m not allowed to use oil in cooking we don’t use teflon coated pans now.

I feel so much better, thank you for pointing out where I could make changes and making it seem like it wasn’t a huge deal to make the changes. In making it sound easy to do, it felt easy and now I look forward to how good I feel each day!”
