Looking at me here, you’d think this is an ‘after’ photo.
I look happy, relaxed and like I am enjoying life.
Yet, this is merely a moment, a rare smile getting past the pain, as this photo was taken during the lowest time in my life.
But here, two and a bit years on , you’d be right to think it - the happiest I’d ever been, enjoying life and feeling confident in the direction I was taking.
And this transformation is all thanks to The Elita La Vie Approach.
It has me feeling like I’m fuelled by sherbet most days, a powerful bundle of energy, happily fizzing about.
It has been rollercoaster to get here, it was long and painful at times, but dare I say it, I am grateful for the experience (now I’m out the other side).
Life has a funny way of making sure we get where we need to be.
Before, I was coasting through life, bouncing from idea to idea, not really sticking at anything. I was a dreamer.
Now I am stronger and more determined than ever. I know what I want and I am going after it with gumption. I am making those dreams a reality.
One of those dreams was to travel to Chile and explore other countries in South America - here I am in freezing cold water, living that dream, turning it into my reality.
A testament to the Elita La Vie Approach’s longevity. It was clear to me what my priority was, I knew how to set a clear and achievable goal and was confident to say no if I felt something was going to derail my progress.
It took hitting rock bottom for me to realise I needed to own my path. While I was rebuilding, I kept being told how amazing and strong I was. I didn’t feel it at the time, I was merely trying to survive and get through the day. But now I see that what I did and the approach I took was pretty amazing and I was strong.
The Elita La Vie Approach is exactly what I did to heal from my rock bottom and get where I am today; living the life I longed for.
I share The Elita La Vie Approach because it really is remarkable and I want you to have a remarkable life, a life that gets you all fizzy inside, waking up each day excited for what’s to come, confident in how great the day going to be because you designed it.
You want something different, but you have no idea where to start
I hear you.
The daily slog is relentless, you have no time for yourself, sometimes you don’t even get the chance to listen to your inner thoughts, and even when you do, Negative Nancy is waiting in the wings incase you dare to have a positive thought.
You’re forever saying ‘life just feels too much right now’, hoping it is going to magically slow down and you’ll be able to get off and try something else.
Let me show you how to slow the ride down, how to take stock and move forward at a pace that is right for you. Together we’ll have you excited for each new day and living the life you long for.
But consider this your warning…
The Elita La Vie Approach can get you everything you’ve ever wanted (even if you have no idea what that is yet), as long as you show up and do the work.
Are you ready for that?
I know a thing or two about how we can get you from surviving to thriving
Trust me when I say, I’ve been where you are right now.
Having put off what I wanted for years, life had a funny way of showing me enough was enough and took me down, all the way down to rock bottom. After I had dealt with the trauma of it all, it left me thinking ‘F**k, what have I been doing with my life’.
I’d ran out of excuses to not run head first into the fiery pits of the unknown. And girl, was I good at the excuses - I was a full time resident at the procrastination station.
I went on a personal journey spanning two years delving deep into all areas of my life. When I came out the other side, I had a new zest for life, a workable plan and actionable steps to get there. Life is easy now, there’s more space for fun and each day I move one step closer to living my purpose.
Don’t worry it’s not going to take you two years. As you’ll be guided through The Elita La Vie Approach you’ll be well on your way, if not done within six months.
The Elita La Vie Approach is everything I used to get myself out of the ‘what’s the point’ funk and (as cheesy as it sounds) to pure joy and excitement for the start of each new day, knowing I am now enjoying the ride. It can do the same for you (clichés optional).
What it’s like to work with me
I take my work very seriously, but I am not a serious person. I am a bit cheeky, a little sarcastic and always looking for the fun in any situation.
My passion for The Elita La Vie Approach is what drives me, making me a real Chatty Cathy on the subject, passing on all my wisdom and expertise to you because I want you to get as much from it as I did. I love sharing ideas, bouncing creativity back and forth. Seeing new beginnings emerge.
You can expect laughter, kindness and a genuine interest in you if we work together. I’m there as your cheerleader, to believe in you, encourage you and challenge you.
Fun facts about me
This is my training background. Being a PT quickly taught me it was more than telling people ‘no pain, no gain’. It is listening to daily struggles, helping both emotional and physical pain. I bloody love my clients. We laugh, we cry, we debate, we challenge each other, it’s so much more than ‘drop and give me 20’.
I’m a personal trainer and nutritionist
My Elita La Vie journey included becoming obsessed with van life, so much so I convinced my husband to sell our house and move into a van! This pretty much sums up live the life you long for ethos. I loved the simplicity it brings!
I did van life for 2 years
I have literally run away with the circus. My husband and I are currently touring Europe with Cirque du Soleil. It wasn’t part of the plan, however, when the universe gives you an opportunity like this, you say yes! The beauty of living your ELV life is that it is easy to pivot and not lose focus on what’s important to you. Instead of feeling like this has derailed my long term goals, I have chosen to see all the ways in which it enhances them.
I swapped van life for the circus
I love swimming so much I swam the English Channel (or La Manche) with 4 amazing team mates. Credit to those who swim a solo, but it’s not for me. I need the team!
Swimming is fast becoming the only place I have left in my life where I am not taking in information. I love the complete switch off it brings, I’ll go as far to say it is my meditation (everyone who meditates just eyerolled at that).
I swam to France
If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be potatoes
You can roast them, chip them, mash them and don’t even get me started on crisps (my first love)!! However, if I get to choose my last meal it will be freshly baked bread and loads of non-vegan butter (sorry cows).
All I want is for everyone to be chipper in the morning
Is that too much to ask..?
…Ok, I’ll settle for everyone achieving their hopes & dreams
My Mission
My mission is to help people live with ease, clarity, and purpose. Because when we’re confident and aligned, we create space to lift others up too. I’m here to spark a ripple effect of empowered people using their voice, energy, and action to create positive change.
“One life, live it”
