Gold Coast Wellness Coach

Hello Dear Friend,

My name is Josie, welcome to my website. My wish for you is this:

May you see the past as life’s lessons and not a measure of who you are

May you find relief in releasing thoughts of judgement and assumption about yourself and others

May you kmow your inner strength so you find ease in focusing your attention on the hopes, dreams and desires that light you up

May you experience countless things everyday to bring you peace and let you feel energetic, enthusiastic and happy to be alive.

I have had the privellege of spending the last 30 years coaching precious people just like you and I thank you for this opportunity to share with you the many, amazing things I have learned so you might find relief in knowing it is far simpler to take back control of your heath, vitality and happiness than you  may currently think.

The clickable list below offers my thoughts on what I truly believe are the principles of a happy, healthy life well lived. The guidance I offer comes straight from my heart and is offered to you with my best intention toward your improved sense of happiness, fulfillment and well-being.

You can feel assured that every person or business I personally recommend here is committed to upholding the principle of people always coming before profit and every product is provided by companies that share this belief.

The most valuable lesson my life as a coach has taught me is that we are all our own best teachers and somehow everyone of us inherently knows best what is right for us. My intention is to offer you guidance from my life experience to help you find clarity about the over complicated,  misinformation being sold to you everyday under the false premise of helping you when so often it is really about profitability. I believe that seeking knowledge and self education is the only way to personal power and freedom so if you feel stuck in a place of confusion, disillusion and ill health, if you are willing to look you will find release here.

Health, vitality and harmony are all natural to your body and the best way to get there from here and stay on the path is to do it in a way that is simple, fun and achievable to you from wherever you are right now. Yes, that’s right..no gruelling training sessions (unless you enjoy them)..no boring, restrictive, nutrient deprived diets..no unrealistic, unachievable expectations of perfection.  This is about helping you plan your own life so you can evolve in your own time and on your own terms. You will never feel deprived or like you have failed so you will never feel the need to quit or give up! Instead you will feel a sense of ongoing achievement and purpose that will naturally keep you inspired! I will show you how to get back to basics and rediscover your own infinite wisdom and guidance so your life can start right now to feel less stressful and more fun and enjoyable again.

So here is the list in order from left to right which works best for me but if you are a rebel at heart and want to work through it in your own order I praise you for taking the first step in your own knowing of what works best for you. Click on each subject one at a time, read the information and look for what feels right for you then test it for yourself. This is the  only way to know how well it works. Work through the list in your own space and time, preferably without interruption..put the kids out, lock the door, turn off the phone and give some time to you!

Please revisit and refresh often..we are all constantly learning and expanding our knowledge and understanding..it’s like watching a movie or reading a book, you always get more out of it the next time round. I am also constantly updating this site with every helpful thing I find so please stay tuned. If you would like any additional help or information or if you are interested in being coached or would like to book a workshop or seminar please email me at goldcoastwellnesscoach@gmail.com or phone me on 0422 267 935.

Believe in yourself, consistently focus on what you want and you will achieve every one of your hearts desires.

Ps..I apologize for any broken links while I am updating this site. If you find a recurrent problem please let me know.

Much love and I look forward with hope to your improved well-being.

Josie

Thank you for your time, happy thoughts to you

Before you take up any other type of exercise it is essential to first build a good aerobic base. Aerobic training helps your lungs work more efficiently, it helps your blood to flow better, it increases your blood supply, helps you grow healthier tissues, improves heart function, aids digestion and elimination, helps you sleep better, provides stress relief and improves your sense of well-being. Need I say more?

In all my years as a coach the most common mistake I see people make is they go too hard and burn out (the exercise roller coaster). You don’t need to go out and take up marathon running. You don’t need fancy equipment, you don’t need to join the gym just find an aerobic activity that you enjoy, work out at your target heart rate, warm up before you start and cool down when you finish. There are many formulas for optimizing your workout but don’t overcomplicate it. Start slowly and remember doing something is better than doing nothing at all!

Most of us are aware of the fact that as we age our bodies start to slow and break down. Bone density and body temperature regulation diminishes, basal metabolic rate and blood sugar tolerance slow down, muscle and motor nerves deteriorate, body fat, cholesterol levels and blood pressure rises, aerobic capacity and muscle mass deteriorate. The good news is you can actually reverse all ten of these bio-markers of ageing with a healthy, balanced weight training routine.

Just like aerobic training there are many options when it comes to weight training but similarly choosing an activity you enjoy and that works for your body dynamics is the best way to achieve success long term.

With any new physical activity it is important not to assume that you will automatically have the skills needed to perform the exercises effectively and safely so always seek advice from a highly skilled professional when first getting started.

Despite what most people believe restricted movement and physical pain or discomfort are not an unavoidable aspect of the ageing process. They are a warning sign that something is out of balance. As well as being a result of poor nourishment there is another far less talked about contributing factor.

Every single one of us has some degree of muscular imbalance. Genetic predisposition and lifestyle choices combine to create muscular strengths and weaknesses which over time compromise the structure of our bodies and can lead to inflammation, chronic pain and degeneration.

Everything from a sedentary or physically repetitive job, to imbalanced exercise programs and sports training techniques is very likely to put you at risk of a painful and debilitating future.

No matter what you do with your physical body it is essential to ensure that you work from a base of structural stability. Over the course of your lifetime your body naturally starts to repetitively recruit your strongest muscles which eventually become overtrained and overstrained. The beginning of the muscular pain cycle. At the same time your weaker muscles start to atrophy which can lead to joint instability and joint pain. Left unchecked these conditions eventually become chronic and leave you drug dependent and on the waiting list for surgery. Both persistent pain and drug use zap your energy and vitality and diminish your quality of life.

If you listen to your bodies warning signals and always seek advice from experts in training, or rehabilitation if you are already at that point, you can avoid what we are taught to think of as an inevitable part of growing older. Given the right tools your body is actually designed to age healthfully and painlessly.
