I am a self-confessed wellbeing junkie!After an awakening in 2011, I started to realise the toxic load my carefree youth and unhealthy lifestyle had placed on my health and wellbeing. I dove deep into research to discover how I could become well again, which has led to an ongoing pursuit of feeling consistently awesome.In 2015, I started to merge my passion with my profession by taking an amazing opportunity to design and lead the Wellbeing, Diversity and Inclusion Programmes at Chorus. Alongside my new obsession for workplace wellbeing, I became curious about the power of food as medicine in my healing journey. With such personal success, I knew I wanted to inspire others, so I studied to become a qualified Nutritionist. And by June 2019, I’d changed to a four-day week and launched The Wellbeing Junkie – a nutrition and wellbeing coaching business. “Having a fulfilling career has been a fundamental part of enhancing my wellbeing and desired lifestyle. My professional experience spans over 17 years working in various People & Culture roles.”After nearly six years at Chorus I started to consider how I could share my wellbeing, passion and expertise with as many kiwi businesses as possible. Thanks to the incredible support from my mentor and biggest cheerleader, Sarah Laurie from Take a Breath, I decided to take a leap of faith and launch NZ’s first Wellbeing Tick!I take great pride in trying my best to walk the walk when looking after my own wellbeing. During the working week I’m steadfast on setting healthy boundaries, including exercise in the mornings, finishing by late afternoon, roughly 30 hours per week and working in sprints of deep, focused work away from the distractions of my phone. Outside of work, I’m a meditator, podcast binge listener, yogi, runner, amateur mountain biker, hiker, nature lover, snowboarder and real food enthusiast to name some of my healthy addictions.Lets chat: Philly@wellbeingtick.co.nz
