Earth Mamma

I’m a Mom of two busy little girls, and wife to a very supportive and loving husband who shares my passion for Health and Well-being @rickusmullercoach.

I’m a bit of a Yogi, a Beach bum, an Artist, a Traveler, a lover of the Outdoors, of books, and most especially Food. Everything revolves around food in our home! Through my own path in finding true health I learned to cook. I then started to explore my creative side with food by taking family favourites and making them healthier, combining lots of textures and colours, focusing on more raw foods, sourcing local seasonal produce, and also by re-purposing meals to create something yummy out of nothing, on a budget, when times were tough. In this way I have come up with some lovely recipes which I hope can inspire and encourage others along their own journey.

I’m inspired by anyone who takes time out of their busy lives to improve their health and prioritize self-care, therefore it’s incredibly meaningful to teach and be a support system for clients, friends and family.

My philosophy

Wellness is a life-long ongoing process. And, from experience, not a quick fix diet or once off supplement.

In order for individuals to achieve optimum health and healing, they must have the tools, resources, and evidenced-based knowledge from a supportive, passionate health professional who empowers and inspires them to create this change.

We should be eating intuitively and abundantly – no calorie counting, weighing, hunger binges, or extreme limitations that leave us feeling emotionally and mentally drained.

Consuming Fresh Wholefoods, plant- based, natural, clean, unprocessed, colourful, wholesome food, combined with balancing other areas of ones’ life, is what I focus on and help others to manage.

My goal for every client is for them to create a lifestyle of sustainable wellness through gratifying eating habits, gaining confidence in their health, exploring realistic solutions to achieve and maintain their health goals, and fuelling themselves with the highest quality foods in the most efficient way.

“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.” – B.K.S. Iyengar
