with Small steps you can make big changes to your health

If you are sick, tired or think that your health journey could do with some improvement then you have come to the right place.

As we age, we can find ourselves stuck in a bad health rut, maybe struggling to exchange bad habits for good ones and increase fitness levels. I'm here to help you to turn things around and motivate you to a life filled with energy, less sickness and increased strength with a focus on how to look after your physical body that works so hard to look after you.

Too much salt in your diet can put you at risk of developing Hypertension (High Blood Pressure).

My husband and I have created a Low Salt All Purpose Seasoning, an alternative to use on your meat and every day food if you adore that Afro Caribbean flavour, to reduce our sodium (salt) intake and help reduce the risk of disease.

My husband Stephen Gardner has worked as an Executive Chef in Ghana and Asia for around 30 years. He has professional experience working with spices and created seasonings to accompany his cultural recipes while working in hotels and restaurants in the city and the bush, along with gaining a wealth of knowledge working alongside the local people. Stephen and I worked together to choose the correct spices for our Low Salt Seasoning for a healthier alternative to currently what's on the market, without compromising great cultural flavour. Your health is important and as a Health Coach I want to resource you in sustaining good health so you can live strong therefore live long!

In an age where disease is on the increase and the reality of viral pandemics in our lifetime exists, I am compelled to address the health and wellbeing within the black community. The National Health Service in the UK states that we currently have poor health statistics and that the recent Covid 19 pandemic severely impacted people of colour. Even though there are various social, economic and occupational reasons for this, lifestyle and diet are a major contributor. This book tries to help reveal why our health as a community is poor and whether our culture, traditions and attitudes contribute to this, as well as tips and advice to a healthy life including

  • A cultural food guide

  • Tips to help prevent and reduce disease

  • Information on how mindset and emotions affect our choices

  • Our relationship with food

  • Health and fitness advice (including exercises)

There is something for everyone in this book regardless of colour or creed to help catapult you in to better health, which in turn will give you a better life.

As a Health and Fitness Entrepreneur, Personal Trainer and Health Coach my hope is to motivate and inspire you to take a real look at your own health and if need be, take one step at a time to make positive change.
