We’re sisters, health coaches and writers behind Cultivate Beauty. Our health and beauty philosophy centres on the power of daily habits that nourish mind, body and spirit. The small (and often humble!) practices that over time, add up to BIG results.
In a world buzzing with information and status updates, it’s fair to say that our way of living is a far cry from our natural state. And while it’s a pretty amazing time to be alive, our popular modern lifestyle can certainly take its toll.
We believe that reclaiming our health and happiness starts with getting back to our roots. For us, this means applying an ancestral or “paleo” approach – whether that’s to our diet, exercise, skincare, or lifestyle habits.
Don’t be mistaken – we didn’t always lead a healthy lifestyle! Like so many, our interest health and holistic living really kicked off when we faced health challenges of our own.
We grew up eating all the foods. Looking back, we had no real grasp of what eating healthy was…and bought into the low fat (high sugar) craze that dominated the 90’s and 2000’s. Calorie counting, packaged 100-cal snack foods, fun size Mars bars – you name it, we did it!
Of course, that wasn’t all.
We also followed the status quo and said “yes” to things that didn’t align with our values or who we are. This often led to stress and a deep sense of unease. At this time, we didn’t have a clue about how to reconnect with our inner selves through practices like meditation and mindfulness. It was a very unconscious way of living.
Eventually, we learned the hard way that the body can only take so much junk food, stress and disconnection.
Taking a holistic approach and cultivating healthy habits takes time – it’s not a quick fix
Beauty truly starts with what you put IN your body, not with products and potions. Health is sexy, and beauty products and skincare are just the icing on the cake!
Modern living has separated us from the natural world. In many ways, this has damaged our health and left us feeling disconnected. Reclaiming our health and happiness starts with getting back to our roots and applying a natural approach – whether that’s to our diet, exercise, skincare, or lifestyle habits
An ancestral or “paleo” way of eating is about getting back to real, natural foods – far from a fad. This diet automatically eliminates the processed, inflammatory foods that undermine our health and wellbeing
Being healthy isn’t just about us – it’s about respecting the environment and making sustainable choices
Anyone can achieve a healthy lifestyle – YOU can create the life you imagine!
We live in sunny Queensland, Australia. However, our coaching sessions are all held online and are available internationally.
We both score as I (Introverted), N (Intuitive), F (Feeling), J (Judging) on the Myers-Briggs personality test. No wonder we are drawn to this work!
We’re obsessed with kombucha. Move over green juice – we can’t get enough of our ‘booch!
We love to dance, and are currently learning hip hop!
