Hi! I'm Megan Jane, MJ for short

I'm a certified Personal Trainer, Advanced Nutrition Coach & Mindset Coach specialising in building a healthy relationship with food to fuel your workouts and unlock your most powerful self.

I spent my late teens and early twenties struggling with weight gain and disordered eating. I started gaining weight from the age of 18 when I'd stopped playing sport, was drinking on weekends, eating junk food hungover and going to drive thru for lunch now that I could drive.

I'd never had to worry about my weight until this point so I hadn't noticed. Until my mum pointed it out to me one day commenting that my thighs had gotten bigger. That was bad enough until my then boyfriend poked my belly while I was climbing over him (before.. you know..) and said, 'what's this?' to my bellyfat.

I was absolutely mortified and that's when my panicked weightloss attempts began.

I'd never had to intentionally lose weight so I knew nothing about eating or exercise for weightloss, other than eat las lower cals as I could and do as much exercise as I could to burn the most cals possible.

But I'm a type A girlie - I like to feel in control and see consistent results from my efforts. I like to push myself and the feeling of knowing I'm giving my all.

This made my dieting and exercise turn into:

• Disordered eating (heavy calorie restriction, bingeing and purging)
• Orthorexia (obsession with exercise purely to burn calories)

I still vividly remember the nights crying in front of the mirror because I hated how I felt in my body. The anxiety and frustration around food. The cravings and binges that left me feeling sick and riddled with guilt. And especially how I hated clothes shopping, trying on clothes and seeing myself in the change-room mirrors.

On top of all this I was lethargic, anxious, lost my period for 2 whole years, lost my fiancé and am still allergic to perfume. My unhealthy relationship with my body made me unwell and stole years from my life feeling miserable and unhappy because I was doing all the wrong things. But I didn't know any better.

One day I got so fed up and desperate to have the health, fitness and confidence I'd always wanted that I hired a fitness coach who looked how I wanted to only she was thriving! I knew she knew how to help me.

She taught me how to eat to properly fuel my body and how to exercise the right way to create the fit, lean, strong body I'd always dreamt of. I was eating so much (and so many carbs!) and losing weight, I'd never been fitter, healthier or happier!

Once I'd learned to be in healthy control of my fitness and health, this healed a large part of my disordered eating but I was still struggling with tendencies of wanting to restrict and binge and push harder and harder in my workouts - habits that were still consuming me and taking away from my happiness in general.

I needed to create a healthy balance where I was in my best shape without any extreme habits or mindsets - a lifestyle I could enjoy.

That's when I began working on my mindset and learning more and more about the deep psychology behind our thoughts, beliefs and habits that affect our health and happiness. Over time I was able to completely reinvent my relationship with myself, food & exercise and create a lifestyle where I am the best, fittest version of myself I can be while also being the happiest in myself, my life and my body.

And now it's my mission to help you do the same and avoid wasting years of your precious life feeling unhealthy and unhappy in your body!
