Sophie's Story
I have always enjoyed feeling fit, healthy and strong. I grew up doing a variety of different sports, swimming, playing hockey and generally being active. I have also grown up with a healthy appetite and come from a family that enjoys making and eating good food. We spend a lot of time chatting and being excited about what new recipes we find and what new things we plan to make next time we get together! I think that moving and using your body, eating well and having some time to relax are key to having good health and enjoying life!
A few years back I took a career break and went travelling. While I was away I was inspired by what I saw and experienced in so many ways but also by how people live and eat all over the world. It was the first time though that I had less time for training and eating well, its not always easy when you’re on the road and I really missed it. My trip got me thinking about what I wanted to do and what direction I wanted my life to take.
I returned home in 2015 having made my decision; I went back to school and retrained – I studied nutrition, learnt and practiced massage therap and became a personal trainer. I spent 2 years putting this into practice and getting myself fit, strong and healthy again. I took up triathlon for the fun of it and found that I loved it.
​
It is for these reasons that I created Whole Health Design. I can now share a life long passion and experiences and really help people to feel stronger, healthier and happier.

In 2020 I commenced a new journey in to motherhood and I now have 2 children, Michael, aged 4, and Nicolas aged 2. Maintaining fitness and strength both pre and postnatally has given me the energy I have to enjoy the boys and help other women in their pregnancy journeys.
