HI, I’M KATE.
Â
A chocolate-loving, coffee-drinking, weight-lifting Intuitive Eating, Accredited Practicing Dietitian, Nutritionist, Body Image Coach and the boss lady here at Firefly Nutrition.
Â
I'm happiest at the beach or in the bush where I feel most connected to my body. I'm a mumma bear to 2 humans a teen and a tween god help me, a Kelpie (Indie- my soul dog) and a ginger cat (Leo Sunshine). I'm lucky enough to have an incredible husband that knows how to push all my buttons, while simutaneously being my absolute rock. Oh and I love people and their stories which is really what has led me here.Â
Â
I have a unique perspective of what it means to heal your relationship with food and body because I've lived it.
I spent way too many decades battling with my weight and self-worth.
Â
Years and years of my life were sacrificed to Weight Watchers, 12wbt, Intermittent Fasting, or whatever else promised me those magical results.
Â
It wasn't until my baby girl was born 11 years ago that I decided I had to heal for her. If I didn't get off the body-loathing train, instinctively, I knew I would pass it on to her. And so my adventure began. My goodness, what a ride it has been.
Â
Through Intuitive Eating and HAES frameworks, IÂ found that little spark inside again and I'd love to support you in doing the same.
My life completely changed when I got myself a coach.
Â
I didn’t know what health coaching was, but it flipped my world upside down.
Â
I needed to share the magic and show people a different way to look after themselves, so my health coaching business (called Wonder Woman Method) was born.
It taught me that maybe it wasn’t willpower I needed to stop reaching for the chips.
Â
Â
It taught me that maybe I didn’t need to do back-to-back spin classes to get benefits from exercise.
Â
Â
It taught me it wasn’t another meal plan, cutting out of whole food groups, or the latest calorie tracking app I needed.
It taught me that truly caring for your body doesn’t look the same for you as it does for me, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works for anyone.
Â
Â
It taught me that maybe shrinking my body wasn’t the answer to improving the way I felt about it.
