Your winner of the 2017 Women’s Health and Fitness and Brazilian Butterfly Cover Model Competition is this beautiful, ambitious and bubbly young mum, personal trainer and business owner from down-town Adelaide. She sat down with WH&F to talk ‘the’ photoshoot, her post baby body, and her love for desserts and burpees.
ON THE REASON WHY
I actually began my own fitness journey over ten years ago, after being inspired by reading fitness magazines: I aspired to look as fit, healthy and confident as the gorgeous models on the front covers. Now – pinch me! I have always loved the content WH&F provides, so this is a dream come true!
ON WHAT IT MEANS TO WIN
It still feels like a dream; I feel so lucky and I’m so grateful. Twelve months ago after the birth of my baby boy, I took a huge leap and relaunched my personal training business (which was face-to-face working in a gym) to a solely online coaching service. Being a WH&F cover girl is not only a great personal achievement, but a fantastic opportunity to expand my business and spread my positive energy to even more women!
ON THE PROCESS
When I got the call confirming the win, I thought I was in trouble for a slow reply to an email over the weekend. When I found out the actual reason for the call, it was so exciting! I remember my baby was asleep at the time so I had to work hard not to scream. I had just nine days to prepare for the interstate shoot and I’d been out of my usual training routine for a few months due to injury. I immediately got my butt moving again and left no stone unturned leading up to shoot-day.
The team at Brazilian Butterfly were lovely, so excited for me and enthusiastic to be a part of the competition. My tan was perfect! And the photoshoot was so fun: the WH&F team made me feel very welcome and we got the cover shot really quickly, so it was a breeze. They’re the dream team for sure.

The Fine Line
You can shed the kilos via skipping lunch, but if you reduce calories without excercise it could come back to bite you, and if you train without adjusting your food intake you will quickly reach a plateau.
