HAPPY OLYMPIC DAY
11 years ago I was competing at the WINTER OLYMPICS it’s quite surreal (and makes me feel old)
The most overwhelming, exhilarating and life changing experience that was the Olympics that even after 11 years, still gives me tingles thinking about what it was like standing in that start gate at the top of the race course (sh****ng myself don’t be fooled by the smile)
It’s such a great honor and a privilege to be an Olympian and be able to represent your country doing a sport you love SO much and share your experience. A sport that taught me so much and and an injury that essentially shaped this last 11 years of my life in health and wellness.
I’m so grateful for it and to have had the opportunity to stay connected to the sport through the incredible friendships in Aus and around the world and working alongside the and team to commentate the last two Olympics.
Being an Australian snowboarder in the 90’s and early 2000’s was kind of like being on the Jamaican bob sled team, But I was a young twenty something with a lot of passion, grit and drive. A friendly reminder to myself and others that anything is possible.

I chat to so many of my friends and clients in the hospitality industry about balance. Always ensuring everyone around you is enjoying their experience, over expending your energy and getting to yourself last.

I can relate to the feeling of working in the service industry and feeling depleted at the end of your workday. The last thing I feel like doing is socializing and going back out again sometimes after I get home and put my feet up . However this is actually a really important part of our own mental + social health. Socializing (amongst wonderful company and friends) not only prevents feelings of loneliness, it increases our sense of happiness, belonging, wellbeing and perspective on the world. We’re social creatures and need to give ourselves permission to enjoy our off time too. So I’m sharing 3 simple moves you can do at the end of your work day to restore and reset your physical and mental energy (take a beat) and revive your mind + body for a night out feeling more motivated and present.

I’m grateful to be working with .au that places CARE at the top of their list of priorities. It’s a good reminder for us all to do the same.

1. Hip stretch - Hip attachments are directly linked to our stress response or “fight or flight” Lay in this position for 5-10 breaths increasing the stretch by pulling the knee toward your opposite shoulder.

2. Foam rolling - Gives you the therapeutic ability to achieve self massage and rid the body of toxins and congestion. I turn increasing blood flow and circulation.

3. Hamstring stretch — Lay in this position and combine the breath to ease stress and tension in the lumbar spine and in turn the nervous system.

4. After spending a few mins in each pose take a cold shower to increase energy and boost endorphins.

Enjoy xx

I’m someone’s who’s had to learn to really value sleep! As a former athlete on the road traveling to competitions it was imperative to manage jet lag and sleep but also in terms of recovery (mentally and physically) it was important to prioritize sleep. These days it’s more about the preparation for a good night’s sleep (so I don’t take all my stress of my business and my day to bed with me) and that starts at the beginning of the day for me.
‘Win the morning, win the day’ is something I live by and this starts by exercising before my work day starts. If I don’t get it done early there is the danger that work or life will get in the way. I always try to get even a quick walk in first thing before the gym or work (even if it’s just to go get a tea or coffee) As an athlete I was taught to expose myself to daylight first thing in the morning to help regulate my circadian rhythm (which runs your sleep/wake cycle) And I’m (trying!) to ensure I’m off my devices and not exposing myself to too much blue light late at night - these tiny light hacks have made a huge difference to my quality of sleep.

CLIP! CONNECT! CREATE! CARE!

I’m proud to work with a company like .au that emphasizes CARE as a key part of their ethos. The hospitality industry has been hit hard and you guys are back in business and working harder than ever I believe! The fundamental thing about ALL of you is that you spend most of your time at work taking care of other people – customers, clients, colleagues even each other!

You just don’t spend enough time on YOU! Self Care doesn’t have to be complicated or onerous. It can be simple things and moments in your day. It helps turn the focus back on YOU, no matter how briefly. The reality is you need to fill your own cup up first!

I’ve created a super simple stretch routine that will help you guys shake off your day and focus internally. It will calm and relax {and de-stress} both body and mind! I recommend this series of stretches as a pre-bedtime ritual (especially after a long day on your feet or at your desk!)

No fancy equipment needed (you can replace foam roller for a rolled up towel or pillow!)
– suitable for ALL ages abs fitness levels.

1. Thoracic extension: lay in this pose for 10 breaths minimum until you feel the back relax.

2. Childs pose : Do this following the extension to recalibrate the spine and focus on deep diaphragmatic breaths for 1 min.

3. Breath work: Lay on your back on a hard surface place your hands on your heart and take 10-15 breaths with emphasis on the inhale through the nose and slow exhale through the mouth. Continue till you feel your heart rate slow down.

@ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Anyone who has experienced a class or coaching session with me knows that my love for the foam roller runs deep. Foam rolling is a form of self myofascial release that has transitioned its way from professional sports into every day fitness practice to prevent and release muscle tightness.

Does your body and mind need a reset this weekend? Or just need some inspiration to mix up your foam roller exercises? Try my live better at home stretch + restore foam roller class. It’s complimentary and avail on the Medibank insta or page ( I’ll also pop link in bio for the weekend)

Enjoy + let me know your feedback below 🙌🏻

Lockdown 2.0 Mantra.

There’s something about Childhood friendships that you just can’t replace. Grateful to have shared years of them at Mt Buller as your best mate, training partner, band mate, and on the podium together as Aussie champions for 10 years.

We started snowboarding together when we were (cocky) 10 + 13 years olds and qualified and debuted at our first Olympics together in our early 20s.

You had the Midas touch Chump- fiercely talented but also worked harder than anyone I’ve ever known and always inspired and encouraged me to be better. Your main super power though was your infectious spirit and how you danced unapologetically to the beat of your own drum.

{Your acoustic version of Jack Johnson’s bubbly toes is also unbeatable}

A big fu***ng celestial welcome awaits you in heaven my old friend - sad to see you go so early but I hope you’ll soon be jamming with with Cobain and Hendrix.

You still owe me your 10% winnings on the bar from the World Cup finals in 2010 — I’ll be holding you to that when I meet you upstairs one day.

RIP legend.

When it comes to exercise one of the most vital things that people fail (or refuse) to understand is that everybody is different; a type of exercise that works for you won’t necessarily work for your best friend, colleague or family member. (In terms of both enjoyment and health benefits) You need to find movement that you truly enjoy.

Exercising for general health and well-being needs to invigorate not exhaust.
**Invigorate not exhaust**
There are certainly benefits of exercise that can increase with intensity- but what you do on a daily basis must be considered too in terms of load management (physical and mental) so you don’t do your body a dis-service and fatigue or burn out.

Genuinely, unless you’re training for an event (I.e marathon or the Olympics) there is little to no need to overdo it.

For best results long term— I recommend to all my clients to mix moderate and vigorous intensity exercise each week with additional stretch and recovery days {as opposed to constant maximal efforts} everyday.

Behavior and action speak more truth than words. 🙏🏻

HAPPY OLYMPIC DAY
The most overwhelming, exhilarating and life changing experience that was the 2010 Winter Olympics that even after 10 years, still gives me butterflies thinking about what it was like standing in that start gate.
It’s a great honor and a privilege to be an Olympian and be able to represent your country doing a sport you love so much.
Very grateful for all the incredible friendships around the globe this sport has given me and working alongside the and team to commentate the last two Olympics was also a true career highlight. To all the Olympic legends out there I salute you 🙏🏻

“Your completion isn’t other people. It’s your procrastination. It’s the unhealthy food you eat. It’s the knowledge you neglect. It’s the negative energy you tolerate.
Compete against that”

We’re in a time of uncertainty, of change and challenges and approaching a new phase — the ‘new normal’.
We need to use this time to check in and ask ourselves better questions, learn and create better habits and boundaries from the forced pause and change, be open minded to starting again. A great time for conscious recalibration.
