I’m Brooke, I’m a Mum of three, ocean goer, sun seeker, adventure enthusiast and lover of ALL things health, fitness and the great outdoors!

Professionally I am an international health & fitness educator, speaker and writer, having presented at fitness events across Australia, Asia and New Zealand & written for AUS leading health & fitness publications. I am a tertiary qualified nutritionist & exercise scientist, specialising in exercise and nutrition for pregnancy and motherhood and helping women find a balanced approach to healthy, active living for long term mental AND physical wellbeing.

I have over 14 years experience in the health & fitness industry, have trained hundreds of women through their pregnancies (single, twin & quad!), and motherhood journeys & have educated hundreds of exercise professionals across 13 countries in my internationally recognised course Functional Fitness for Pregnancy & Postpartum!

I am on a mission to educate and empower women, athletes and exercise professionals working with women, everywhere, on safe, effective and enjoyable exercise for pregnancy and motherhood.

I know that postpartum is forever & that ALL Mums matter, regardless of how long you’ve been in the ‘hood for.

I believe in striving for a balanced approach to healthy, active living – for long term PHYSICAL and MENTAL well-being and results. This means eating and moving in a way that is fun, enjoyable and sustainable - because exercise shouldn’t be used as punishment or seen as a chore and food isn’t good, bad or forbidden, but to be enjoyed in moderation.

Bombshell…

Is there such a thing as balance? YES! I believe that YES you can achieve balance. You might not be there for long, but you can certainly strive for it. Balance is in a constant state of flux and needs to be continually adjusted in order to maintain it.

What does Balance mean to you? And how do you feel when things are ‘balanced?’.  Consider it as that inner level of contentment, calmness or peace. You may not realise you were in that space until it is lost.

And you will most certainly know what balance isn’t – or more how it feels. It’s that tightness in your chest, the inability to fall and stay asleep at night, that inner witch in you coming out and snapping at your kids or partner, that lowered mental state or self confidence, loss of mojo or reaching for less nourishing food and drinks.

This is why I founded my Balance Cycle and STRIVE Program – encompassing the FOUR KEY ELEMENTS that enable us to lead a healthy, active, happy and balanced lifestyle. Every single one of my programs incorporate these key elements – making them a complete LIFESTYLE guide. These are the very values that I live by.  I aim to bring about that self awareness in others to continually ‘Self-Check’ to identify what element is lacking vs dominating and where we need to transfer our energy in order to feel a more balanced. It all comes down to the four key elements…

• MOVEMENT – how we move our bodies.

• MINDSET – our mood, the mindset that we operate in and our self talk. Knowing when we need alone time, time outdoors or with others. That inner self awareness and mental grit.

• NUTRITION – how we fuel our bodies.

• SLEEP – quality and quantity.

I cannot remember a time in my life when I haven’t been physically active. I live and breathe a heathy, active balanced lifestyle and love helping others do the same. From competing at a state level in sports as a child, internationally as a fitness model, my experience as a trainer, instructor and presenter to becoming a Mum and everything in between. I am forever setting myself goals, keeping active, combining my love for the great outdoors with physical activity, seeking discomfort which I know in return will lead results, improved mental grit and personal growth.

I have a signature style of training – one that I refer to as HYBRID. It is unique to myself and my online and face to face STRIVE and Happy, Healthy Pregnancy programs. I love training with intensity and keeping workouts and ways of moving varied (it’s the key to success right!). Think of it as CrossFit meets HIIT, all mixed in with a good dash of cardio, body weight, circuits and resistance training.

So whether you are a new or expecting Mum – I get it, I’ve been there. I know how overwhelming, confusing and conflicting the information can be on how to move and eat during and post pregnancy. Let me take the confusion out of it and educate and empower you with my Happy, Healthy Pregnancy eGuides.

If you are looking for a complete lifestyle guide that offers nutrition information, meal plans, recipes, training programs, online support, mindset hacks and so much more, that WILL get you the RESULTS you seek and help you KEEP THEM. A program that will leave you feeling fitter, stronger, healthier and HAPPIER without feeling deprived of foods that you enjoy, then my Online Six Week STRIVE or Face to Face STRIVE programs are the thing for YOU!

If you are seeking a knowledgeable, experienced, passionate and credible writer, speaker or trainer for your publication, event or brand, I have a wide range of keynotes, workshops and topics that I can cater to your needs.

I would love to connect with you! Follow along behind the scenes here.

Thanks for stopping by!
