Our philosophy
A very warm welcome to the Women's Wellbeing Collective; we're happy you're here. The WWC was founded by Amy in 2020 to support women in a holistic way to promote growth in all areas of their lives. We are all about looking after the mind, body and spirit and finding joy, peace and balance in our busy lives.
Our underlying philosophy is that of connection. Modern life can often make us feel disconnected from ourselves, each other and the natural world. With so many competing priorities and distractions, it is easy to lose focus and lose sight of our equilibrium and our goals. The Women's Wellbeing Collective is here to guide you, to support you to rediscover your vision and goals, to develop your higher self, and to find your inner peace.

Attention and Intention: How being consistent with our healthy habits helps manage weight loss
|
The summer holidays are over, autumn is here and we are back to school! This got me thinking about how easy it is to get out of the habit of practising our healthy habits. Having the kids off for six weeks meant that my usual routine of going to the gym at least three times per week wasn't possible, there was also more food, more 'treats' and less adherence to my fasting hours due to flexibility around holidays and travel.

But, now that we are back in the swing and my usual habits can resume, I wanted to bring my weight back to what I am comfortable with - and that meant losing those 6lbs. By bringing my attention and intention to my healthy habits I was able to refocus on what I was eating, when I was eating and how much I was moving.

I also stick to my six golden rules:
