A second time in Seoul doesn’t mean a trip full of surprises, but it does mean a rediscovery of all the favourite activities and attractions we encountered on our last visit here. A huge part of our trip revolves around walking and food. Food I’ve noticed anywhere around the world costs the same as clothes […]

A parent’s daily frustration with their teen? An aging parent’s changing taste buds? Today’s health-fad encouraging restricting a macronutrient? What is it? Picky-Eating is a term coined to describe those moments when food is down right refused because the taste, texture and smell and combinations of food do not appeal. There are a few situations
I’m guessing you’ve been seeing the declaration, “Sitting is the new smoking” plastered all over your social media and podcasters discussing the ills and travails of sitting all day long.

My morning Run For the past decade I’ve been going for a run, at twilight, to a nearby jogging track in my area. I’ve always laughed at the absurdity that I drive 1.5 km to the jogging track, just to run 5km in 40mins, and drive back. You may question, why don’t I just run on
Dear Reader,
You will have noticed that I haven’t put many pictures of fruit and vegetables on my website. Albeit: I’ve pictures up of delicious desserts and flamboyant, fancy coffee!
Depending on the occasion, they all are superfoods! Fruit and veggies, cake and coffee. Super food can be subjective.
Yes. Of course wellness and well-being are all about eating whole foods first. The primary sources of nutrition that are always superfoods are those grown in the sun, soil and on trees; that have been made with the help of birds, butterflies and bees.
If you sign-up for coaching sessions for any of of the problems mentioned on the mind-map, natural superfoods are what you will be eating.
No doubt.
However food is medicine. The poison is in the dose. And we are more than just a body. Coaching through a Being-Well lens means knowing when to have your cake guilt-free, because I know how hard it is to make switches in your diet when you eat for health’s sake. Giving up on your daily biscuit at tea time can be depressing. It weighs on your mental health. It can even lead to a tantrum.
If you learn not to gratify your desires instantly, and know the occasions of when you can have creamy, dreamy pudding, then temptations won’t govern your mind. Our sessions together will help train your mind to be patient by recognising your triggers and eat with intention to heal.
Make sense?
