My Story

Assalamualaikum.
My name is Saarah.
A qualified personal trainer, nutritionist
with a degree in Biomedical Science.

I’ve been an overachiever, perfectionist my entire life, who always wanted to be thinner. When I was diagnosed with PCOS, I thought that meant I would struggle with my weight my entire life. I almost accepted it. No one ever told me about how stress affects us women.

Our hormone health.
AND our eating patterns.

But if you asked me, “are you stressed?”

I would have looked at you like your crazy.
“Of course, i’m stressed. I can’t not be stressed.”

I was ALWAYS in go-go-go mode.
Always checking things off my to-do list.
Exhausted? Drink coffee. No time for a break.
Cravings? Push it off… until night time.

My insomnia was at its peak.
Always feeling exhausted.
My hair was falling out.
My cravings were getting LOUDER.

I was working 40+ hour weeks AND juggling responsibilities at home, that I always felt like I didn’t have time for myself.

But what I didn’t know was that the more I pushed myself off, the more I needed food to cope.

That is why, diets never worked for me long-term.

Because as soon as I went back to my busy life, my old coping habits took over.

Delaying my meals, until I had time.

Night time? Lose control after dinner. (Over-eat…)

Desserts every weekend.
Night time snacking, even though I wasn’t hungry.

Eventually, I could not take the weight gain any longer.
I was tired of over-eating and I finally asked myself WHY.

The more I learnt about over-eating & emotional eating, the more I realised why food felt like a solution.

I realised that there was a way out.
I just needed to design my own approach, that made sense for my unique lifestyle.

The nutrition got easier to implement.

Sleep got better.

The changes I made were gradual and felt easy.

The food noise slowly died down.
For the first time, I enjoyed my healthy lifestyle. THAT is when I realised, “wow, I could live like this for life and be satisfied”

Now, I help other busy ambitious women find the same peace with food I found, because the truth is…

Your life has its own unique struggles.

I help you:

• unpack your over-eating triggers

• build a strategy around eating that works for your life

• never need another diet again, because weight maintenance becomes easy and natural for you

  
  You’ll learn how to hear your body’s real hunger signals & be able to trust it.

We don’t cut off eating because the clock strikes 8pm.
We don’t say no to foods because its “too early” for dessert.

But truly understand the reason WHY our body or mind is asking for the food, in the first place.

THAT is when you find peace with food.
Weight loss becomes the cherry on top.
