Writing About: Health & Wellbeing

I lived in eight countries and explored many more before I discovered the Sunshine Coast.

But 40 years searching for the world's best lifestyle destination weren't wasted because now I've found it I'm not leaving. Which is lucky since excess baggage, including one husband and three children, makes going anywhere a military operation these days.

My credentials for writing about health and wellness include but are not limited to: a long battle with self-help book addiction, fitness levels ideally balanced between couch potato and triathlete and winning the village skipping race in 1977.

Like most women I have an encyclopaedic knowledge about nutrition, exercise and wellness, but still dream of spending more time on self-care and actually meditating, instead of just reading about how good meditation is for you.

When I'm not writing, designing websites or reading look out for me power-walking at sunrise on Sunrise Beach (really!), hiking to a Hinterland waterfall or conquering Mount Coolum with the family.

Although I usually combine business with pleasure I recently divided my budding blogging empire, creating Successful Blogging for business, so Get In the Hot Spot can be devoted entirely to pleasure.
