Tell us a little about your health journey?

My health Journey Unfortunately hasn’t been smooth sailing as I’ve experienced major negativity and pressure towards my body, both from people within the modelling industry and myself. Fortunately however i found a passion for fitness and nutrition and was able to cultivate a lifestyle based around a wholesome, nutrient dense diet and lifestyle. Despite having days where I’m not so eager to put on a bikini during a shoot, I keep my thoughts positive and know to listen to my body, especially when I’m exhausted.

If there was one thing you could tell your 4-year-old self what would it be and why?

You only have one body, so take care of her!!!!! Its the only thing on this planet that during your lifetime you have complete control over so why not love and nourish her?!

What are the 3 most important health lessons you have learnt on your journey?
