I’m not one to talk about myself too much as I’m always too eager to learn about other people!!! But here goes….HELLO!!!! My name is Sabine. I was born in and live in Toronto, Canada and I’m in my mid-forties (I know, I know, I have a young looking face….I get that a lot and I’m grateful for the good genes and the fact that I never wore a lot of makeup). Oh yeah, I’ve also been struggling with my self image for ions.
“With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.” – Dalai Lama
Though I’ve always been a confident and approachable person, inside I’ve never felt totally comfortable about how my body looked and often struggled with my wardrobe. Now, at my age, health and longevity are more of a concern as I have an aging mom, a loving husband and adorable dog. I WANT TO BE THE BEST SELF I CAN BE. I haven’t been feeling healthy or happy, which is probably due to the fact that I overindulge. Alcohol helps me to relax and eating comforts me. BUT NO MORE! This is where it ends, and where this blog begins.
I invite you to join me on my journey to living a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life. I deserve it, and I’ve wanted it for way too long. It’s time to do something about it and this time I’m sticking with it because I know I have you on the ride with me.
As I’m training to become a Holistic Weight-Loss Coach, I’m so excited and nervous to change my life around! I want to learn how I can bring my body, mind and spirit together in a healthy harmony for the long term. Understanding the “behind the scenes” of nutrition, hormones, digestion etc., are the key to changing one’s mindset about how we function as a whole. One size does not fit all!
On this adventure, I’m going to tell you about my experiences (successes and yes, the hiccups), share some awesome healthful recipes (I have culinary training and experience and I’m pretty darn good in the kitchen, if I may say so!), inject my weird and wonderful humour (cause we NEED to have fun, after all!), and give you tons of holistic weight loss tips and nutrition information. I hope that while learning to help myself, I can help and inspire others along the way.

And just in case I haven’t said enough about myself (cause I know, that NOW you are really interested)….in my spare time I enjoy getting outdoors for a walk in nature, often taking my camera with me, exploring new areas of the city I live in, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, singing in the shower and spending quality time with my family, especially my awesome husband, and our fur-baby dog, Jax.
