Eureka
Moment

I am a certified Health Coach with a B.Sc in Genetics and Biochemistry. I am also an certified ashtanga yoga teacher. Growing up, I never thought about health or my lifestyle. I just lived life, ate and drank what I wanted, whenever I wanted it. I was never skinny or fat and I really never gave my health any thought.

Fast forward to eleven years ago, I found myself 32 kgs overweight, pre diabetic, with hashimotos and suffering from PCOS. One day, as I stood in my toilet pinching the fat on my belly before I was about to inject myself with pre diabetic medication, it hit me that, "THIS IS NOT HOW I WANT TO LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE!" I have two children and I realised that I wanted to be around to see them live their lives.

This was my 'Eureka' moment (eureka- a cry of joy or satisfaction when one finds or discovers something). In that moment, I discovered that I am here to Thrive and not merely, to survive my life! Armed with this new mindset, my journey towards discovering the miracle that my body really is, began. Having a scientific background, I began to delve into understanding the impact that food had on my body and my state of mind. That door led down many other paths such as spirituality, physical activity, relationships, as well as, the fundamental understanding that mastering our mindset is everything. As I started to put all this knowledge into practice, I began to lose the weight; my PCOS and pre diabetes disappeared and my hashimotos is now under control. This led me to help my family and friends. Each person I helped caused a ripple and that is how 'MyEurekaLife' was born.
