This journey began for me in 2013 when I had a shocking wake up call... I was told I had thyroid cancer and the tumour would have to be removed immediately, which meant I would be left with a huge scar, a hormonal imbalance, along with being on medication for the rest of my life. This mortified me and I felt there had to be other ways to combat this illness. My life completely changed that day and my reaction was to adhere to weeks of studying, hour after hour, and intense research about cancer, health, and alternative therapies and how these factors can manage illness. I Read literally hundreds of books articles on health, nutrition, disciplines, Self healing and self development . The discoveries I made, even my doctor didn't know and I believed they needed to be public information! I knew it was imperative to to 'fix up' and make significant changes to my unhealthy lifestyle and diet!

There was no doubt I had neglected the health of my body and mind, you could say they were not balanced or at peace. I felt that reforming and optimising my health in every way would create what I call 'effect zen'! Although the notion of zen has spiritual connotations, for me 'effect zen' is a balanced healthy body and mind which is at peace and therefore free from (and stronger to combat) anything negative, be it worries, toxins or illness. Encompassing this zen effect we become stronger fitter and healthier and less can phase us. all I had learnt transformed my life and I formulated my own detox program and put it into practise to heal myself. Sure enough, I began to feel uplifted and amazing! Healthier than I had ever felt.

Fortunately, after second opinions, it later appeared that my tumour was benign and I had been misdiagnosed. This was such a relief, despite the distress and pressure i had been through. I'm a firm believer that 'out of something bad comes something good' and without dwelling on the past, the positive side in this instance was that it triggered me to change my life for the better. furthermore my passion for this balanced healthy lifestyle has now become my mission to inspire and motivate you also.

My goal is to help make this transition to living healthier easier for you. It is my way of sharing the optimal health and fitness lifestyle I lead and empowering you with the knowledge to be In control of your own health and how we can apply it to our busy complex lives.
