ABOUT
Purpose
To create a movement of happier, healthier and higher performing people in both their golf game and life game!
Are you unhappy, stressed, anxious or struggling and either don't know why, or just sick and tired of being sick and tired and you either dont want a doctor or counsellor, or have found them useful.
I have learnt the hard way, that to 'Thrive' we need to look at this quest/ challenge from a wholistic approach. ( No holes here sorry )
I see and hear people who have been working out, eating better, setting goals, but are still not happy with their golf, life and health, particularly their mental health. Soul or Spirit first is who we are. Ever calling us to connect with our true self, our higher self. We know it, we often feel it, our gut instinct, our intuition, trying to guide us daily.
I have learnt, the more I stop and listen to this inner guiding/knowing, the better my golf and life flows! Then let's connect and see where you may look for better results that you deserve.
It may be support with me, it may be with someone else.It may be just you, stopping enough to look within.In a world where most people are constantly focused on their outer world, now could be the time to have the courage to look within!
What if the art and science of thriving in a world that has us set up to just survive, was not about connecting first our Body, Mind and then Soul, but given the last few years of Covid 19, Bushfires, Floods and Interest Rates, what is actually needed is a Soul, Mind then Body approach?
1. Nurture the Soul/Spirit
2. Calm and Clear the Mind
3. Move and Feed the Body well.
Integrating the latest Wellbeing Science from the west with the Ancient Wisdom and Practices from the east to 'Empower you to THRIVE'! Our Golf is a reflection of our life!
