Hey girl! 🥰
I’m Amya, and if you’re reading this, you didn’t land here by accident. You’re exactly where you need to be.
I’m living proof that you can have the body of your dreams while doing everything opposite to the golden do’s and don’ts of the health and fitness industry.
I’ve gone from extreme exhaustion, diet obsession and fractured self-esteem – even with an amazing body that I worked so hard for – to not giving a flying f*ck about what I should be eating or doing to look fit (while still looking fit), and no longer subconsciously seeking approval from anyone.
My journey was messy, but I learned a tonne on the way to make sure that yours doesn’t have to be.
From Fit & Broken To (Still) Fit, Thriving & Free. How It All Started 💫
I used to count my macros and calories obsessively, trying all the latest diet trends to get that classic instagram fit girl physique, but really wishing I could just enjoy my food without thinking too much.
Before I found olympic weightlifting, I was working out almost everyday just to get toned and fit. Any influencer I found, or fitness magazine, you bet I downloaded their meal plan or workout.
I eventually achieved the body of my dreams, only to feel too muscular outside of the gym, and then petrified of losing my physique if I took one day off training, or ate outside of my meal plan.
Physically, you’d think I was super confident and secure in myself. And I was sometimes. But most of the time, I was constantly silently comparing myself to other women, wishing my physique was like there’s, and wondering what I had to do to look like that.
It was exhausting and never ending.
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 also saw that I was achieving the body I had dreamed of years ago when doing all those workouts in the gym. And I couldn’t believe the ease in which I achieved that. I had only wished I knew this sooner, and saved myself the heartache.
While I achieved my ideal body, I was still playing silent comparison with myself and other women. I was still tracking my food – this time for performance (but some side sprinkles of lingering body dysmorphia). And I was still very much associating my self-worth and validation with my physical appearance and sex appeal to others.
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 stop my training, reset my gut bacteria and hormones, change my eating style, made a gradual return to my training, and dug deep into repressed trauma – why was I so obsessed with my looks, anyway?
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, 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.
But it would pain me to see other women still ensnared in that trap. And I now had what I needed to break other women free.
Fast Forward To Today ⚡️
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, with my goals being functional, and zero to do with aesthetics (mind you, the aesthetics came anyway). I move because it feels good, and because I deserve to be in a vessel that is at peak performance.
Recognising 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.
Having zero triggers around other beautiful, talented women. Zero threats. Zero jealousy. Zero competition or comparison. Everyone has a story to tell, unseen scars, and unique gifts that are needed in this world. There’s room for everyone to shine without dimming the light of others. And on this note – no, you don’t have to just put up with “the fact that you’re always going to have triggers about your body, and you’ll just need to work on your mindset.” I know this because what I did to heal truly works. And I learnt the tools when I became a QMBT Life Coach to help you with that too.
Don’t Get It Twisted 😵💫
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.”
Tone down the workouts.
Avoid triggers.
But not of that f*cking worked. Not for long-lasting change. I did it that way for years. And I still found myself barely moving the needle when it came to my self-worth and extreme control over my body.
This is why I knew I had to do things differently when I embarked on this journey in helping amazing women like you.
I had to go beyond that 👆🏼 and I wanted to make sure that your journey didn’t have to feel so alone, confusing and tiring.
