Hey! 🥰
I’m Amya, and if you’re reading this, you didn’t land here by accident. You’re exactly where you need to be.
Me in 2019. Pre-healing.
I’m living proof that you can maintain your fit body while dismissing of the golden do’s and don’ts of the health and fitness industry.
I freed myself of body pressure and control WITHOUT letting myself go. I learned releasing control doesn’t mean losing the body you’ve worked so hard for… it’s a complete upgrade of your mind, body and soul.
I had the body of my dreams. I was fit and sculpted. I was meticulously counting my macros and calories. But I got reliant on it. I got fearful of changing — even though I really wanted to… I was sick of the pressure and being dialled in all the time. But I was stuck in the cycle of tracking food to “not get fat,” and working out to “stay sculpted.” My self confidence and self worth were entirely built on my aesthetics.
People thought I was just disciplined. They didn’t realise I was silently at war with myself. They saw someone with a fit body and who wore whatever she wanted.
No one understood how someone who looked like me could still lack confidence — you know the whole, “If I looked like you, I’d be happy. You should be grateful” messaging.
I went from extreme exhaustion, diet obsession and fractured self-esteem – even with an amazing body that I worked so hard for – to enjoying my food (while still looking fit), taking rest days without guilt or fear, and no longer fearing changes in my body.
I used to count my macros and calories obsessively. When I found what worked, I stuck to it. Not daring to deviate an inch. I didn’t want to lose my physique. I was now in a place where I comfortably would train in my sports bra and shorts, and I could wear anything I wanted when I went out. Despite that, I still wished I could just enjoy my food without thinking too much, and try different ways to moving my body — I was stuck on strength training because in my mind at the time, this is it. This is what it took to make my body look like that ^
I thought I had all the answers, because prior to training in olympic weight lifting and working with sports dieticians, I was just copying different workouts and fad diets. Burning myself out and starving myself silly. So you can imagine why I clung to the formula that seemed to work. Yet, I was still lacking…
Physically, you’d think I was super confident and secure in myself. And I was… sometimes. But most of the time, I was still silently comparing myself to other women, still wishing my physique was like there’s, and wondering what I had to do to look like that.
It was like going window shopping, but for body parts that I wanted to photoshop onto my own body. It was exhausting and never ending, and in hindsight… disturbing.
From Fit & Broken To (Still) Fit, Thriving & Free. How It All Started 💫
One Day I Woke Up And Realised That Everything We’ve Been Taught About Health + Fitness Is A Lie ❌
I had enough. I was done flip-flopping with my self esteem. I was done tracking my food to the gram. And I was done doing workouts just to look good.
I fell in love with the sport of Olympic Weightlifting, and began competing. As I got stronger and more athletic, I began to admire how amazing my body was – its ability to adapt to how I was training it, the flexibility, the strength, the power… I was in awe.
This was when I started to move away from working out to look good, and training with purpose. I saw that I achieved the body I had dreamed of, years ago. And I couldn’t believe the ease in which I achieved that. I only wished I knew this sooner, and saved myself the heartache.
While I achieved my ideal body, I still didn’t feel enough. I was still tracking my food – this time for performance (with some side sprinkles of lingering body dysmorphia). And I was still very much associating my self-worth and validation with my physical appearance.
It wasn’t until I started having some serious fatigue and hormonal imbalance issues, and realised I was struggling with gut issues too, that I finally took the bold step to changed the way I trained, rest more, reset my gut bacteria and hormones, change my eating style, and dug deep into repressed trauma – why did my entire world and sense of worthiness rely solely on my physical appearance?
When I began my studies as a HMI Health Coach and started learning real nutrition for longevity, that’s when the house of cards came crashing down, and I saw the health and fitness industry for what it is – a distorted, anxiety-provoking, nervous system dysregulating, marketing predator. I saw the toxicity in that industry and all the promoted products and diets that were killing women slowly, ageing them unnecessarily, and constantly perpetuating the message of “you’re not good enough unless you look like this.”
I was well and truly done.
I went from being a former self-hating, insecure, diet-obsessed, fitness junkie, to…
Barely using any calorie counting tools — unless to check that I’m eating plenty, nourishing my body, getting a variety of micronutrients, and not in a calorie deficit. Yes, you read that right. I look at food for what it is — energy and resources for my cells to replenish themselves with the best of the best.
Strength training only 3x a week, plus walks with my husky, and outdoor adventures with my husband. My goals are functional, and zero to do with aesthetics (mind you, the aesthetics stayed anyway). I move because it feels good, and because I deserve to be in a body that is at peak performance.
I recognise that my true, inherent worthiness and beauty as a woman is on a soul level — nothing to do with the body I’m in for this short time, and if my looks are trending.
I have zero triggers around other beautiful, talented women. Zero threats. Zero jealousy. Zero competition or comparison.
Fast Forward To Today ⚡️
How Did I Do It? 💫
I fell down plenty of times. I did all the things they tell you to do when you’re trying to improve your self-esteem and mental health:
Unfollow aesthetic focused accounts.
Say affirmations reinforcing what you love about yourself.
Focus on nutrition value rather than just counting calories and macros.
“Treat yourself” mentality.
Tone down the workouts.
Avoid triggers.
Therapy.
Mindfulness, mindset + self-help work…
But not of that worked. Not for long-lasting change, anyway. It was always the buzz of the “latest thing,” but I still found myself barely moving the needle when it came to my self-worth and extreme control over my body.
So instead, I healed. I addressed the core wounds that were like fractures in my soul; openings for and vulnerable spots to fall prey to the traps of health and fitness marketing, and the constant messaging targeting women that “you’re not enough unless you look like [latest trend].”
This kind of healing looked like:
Dismantling, then re-wiring the stories, fear loops and thought patterns in my brain.
Nervous system regulation — you will never feel safe enough in your body to change your mindset into something more loving if you this isn’t addressed.
Quantum emotional processing.
Embodiment of your desired state, and operating from this place, rather than operating from a place of lack and “I must [insert all the should’s your brain tells you].”
This helped me to finally release the “I’m scared I’ll lose control or ‘let myself go’” battle. It’s not until now that I realised that this fear is exactly why I stayed stuck — my nervous system equated relaxation with danger. I gained self-trust — the kind that doesn’t depend on rules, macros, or guilt.
And this is the exact kind of work we do together, using Quantum Mind-Body Therapy tools, techniques and processes.
