For many years I struggled with fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety, along with many other debilitating symptoms and no end in sight, until I began The Autoimmune Protocol Diet in 2017. Through this protocol, combined with supplements and lifestyle changes, I lowered my inflammatory response and began to heal my gut. Life has only gotten sweeter since!

ABOUT ELENA:
I’m a certified health coach and personal trainer, wife, mom and owner of Elena Nicole Health. I help busy women get healthier, look and feel their best in a realistic and sustainable way.
From a young age I watched my parents and family members struggle with their weight, body image and confidence. I remember sitting in weight watchers meetings in middle school, and subconsciously thinking - "there has to be a better way" and questioning if there was more to life than trying to hate yourself skinny or diet yourself happy.
As I got older, I fell into the same traps of cyclical dieting, restriction, binging and obsessing - until one day I decided I was done. I was determined to find a sustainable method to true mental, emotional and physical health, and once I did - I vowed to share it with as many other women as I could.
I started researching and educating myself on the missing piece of many programs - mindset. I studied and learned the psychology behind nutrition, movement and motivation, and eventually started developing my own program, which has helped me lose 40+ lbs., keep it off, while creating a long term healthy lifestyle I love. This method has also helped me improve my skin, energy, anxiety and depression, digestive issues, sleep, immunity, bloating, painful period cramps, headaches and more.
Now as a certified holistic health coach, I help others do the same.My mission is to share my program, method, experience and lessons learned with as many women as I can, so I can help them go from struggling, stressed and hopeless to successful, confident and empowered!

Taking Charge of Your Fertility
ABOUT GEMMA
I am on a mission to ensure mums have access to the knowledge and support needed to rehab and return to exercise safely post-baby, no matter how many months or years postnatal you are!
As a mum of two and having to rehab post-C-section with a 3.5cm ab separation, I came to realise how little support there is for mums wanting to return to fitness. This very realisation has led me to the work I do now!
Having spent my whole life competing and working in the sports and fitness industry I am passionate about helping mums achieve their fitness, strength, confidence, and self care goals.
I have helped hundreds of mums to heal and strengthen their core and pelvic floor, increase their full-body strength through weight training, learn how to prioritize themselves without the mum guilt, and change daily habits to ensure they make time for themselves!!

Join me as I journey with Delia through her own story with communication and her partner. We have an in-depth conversation about:
*Communication with significant other
*How to bring yourself back to communication when times are tough
*How Shamanic healing helps us get very clear on what is going on within us
*How looking at our partner and ourselves individually helps us to regenerate our relationships
*How changing our mindset around challenge points helps foster better relationships
Some of my favourite quotes:
'Our brain is logging somewhere around 96 million pieces of data every single day. That is ALL communication-inner and outer.'
'Everyone is different and if you get to that point where you think communication is over, ask yourself one question-Do you still want to be with this person? Does your heart still beat for them?'
'How are you contributing to this relationship? This movie reel showed me all the times I was mean, I put myself first, and pushed him away when he was trying to be affectionate. The answer was not much.'
'The energy you are giving off, that's communication.'
ABOUT DELIA
I spent three decades searching for where I belong and to learn something that would give me purpose and meaning in the world. What I discovered though, is that I was longing to reconnect with the Earth and the stories hidden in my bones. I was thirsty for the deep richness of living a more mythic life and sensing into all that was around me in nature.
As this journey deepened, I remembered -- I belong everywhere and I exist. This is my purpose. It is my absolute honour to serve in my community the wisdom and experiences I have nourished so that it may nourish the remembering and connection within you also.

What a fascinating journey to go on with Tonia to see how becoming an advocate for herself helped her to discover and heal her body of excruciating pain every month during her bleed. We talk about how it started and what it took to go to the doctor for another opinion, how society has taught us that 'doctors are always right' and we are taught to 'trust them'. Some favourite topics we cover are timeline clearing and what trauma is and how we can distinguish between 'Big T' and 'Little T' trauma. Some of my favourite quotes from this journey:
*'So many women can resonate with a story of not having the best menstrual cycles.'
*'That is just who you are and that is so disheartening.'
*'I had never asked to be referred, that advocacy for myself, I didn't have it in me at that time'.
*'I was scared all the time, in fear all the time, of what the next period would be like.'
*'I was feeling hopeless.'
*'This fall has been miraculous and I don't feel afraid all of the time.'
ABOUT TONIA:
Dr. Tonia Winchester has been in practice as a Naturopathic Doctor since 2007. Now, as a brain-based transformation coach, she uses contemporary neurological reprogramming techniques to help women break through burnout, stress, anxiety, and fatigue and find joy and energy again so that they can create exceptional lives for themselves, their families and communities. She guides her clients through a "Breakthrough" process where they easily and gently clear the past, and recode their unconscious minds so that they are primed to make and sustain positive changes in how they take care of themselves. The results are a strengthened connection to self - more self-love, worth, and value, ultimately allowing them to build happy, meaningful relationships and compelling futures. Tonia has been featured on CTV, the Costco Connection, The Elephant Journal, Conscious Nutrition, The Autoimmune Simplified Podcast, the Better Sex Podcast, Creative Conversations, and the New Generation Entrepreneur Podcast. She is an executive contributor at Brainz Magazine writing monthly articles. When she's not transforming lives she is getting lost (and found) in the forest, salsa dancing, and turning paper into pretty things.
