Fitnosophy’s Origin: My Mum’s Journey
When my mum was suddenly diagnosed with coronary heart disease and underwent a double bypass, it was like a slap in my face. How could it be? My mum had never smoked or drunk. Not only this, she had been on a ‘healthy’ diet most of her life; she exercised regularly and looked at least 10 years younger than she was. I was in shock.
I realised that, in spite of her seemingly good lifestyle, my mum wasn’t taking sufficient care of herself. Indeed, she wasn’t listening to her body’s cues; she was no longer engaging in activities she once enjoyed, she was no longer connected with herself. I started looking around me, and I soon realised that most people’s lives looked like hers.
Even worse than that, my own life started to look like hers: instead of living the precious philosophical teachings I had studied for years, I was confining them within books, articles or conference papers, as though I was collecting antiques. In that moment, I realised that I had to do something concrete with my life. I wanted to provide practical help for people like my mum, like my neighbours, like my coworkers and like myself.
I made the decision of becoming a Nutrition and Health Coach, a Personal Trainer, and a Strength and Conditioning Coach, to help other people reconnect with themselves and regain control over their lives. When it comes to nutrition, physical activity and spirituality, our individuality comes before the dogmatism of ‘one size fits all’ diets, sports and practices. My mission is to help my clients reconnect with their uniqueness and allow such uniqueness to fulfil its potential. This is where their real strength lies.
Why Working With Me?
I have been passionate about Health, Fitness and Philosophy ever since I was a little girl. Moreover, I have been practising strength training regularly since 2006 and have gathered a wealth of knowledge and a lot of experience over the years.
Differently to most fitness professionals, training and coaching clients is not merely a job for me: it is my life and calling. The possibility of improving someone’s life is what wakes me up every morning, and makes me sleep every night. The thought of contributing to my clients’ wellbeing fills my heart with inexplicable gratitude.
