If you've lost your usual motivation during lockdown and quarantine, that's OK.
With so many people sharing their new workouts and run times, it can feel like you're the only one who's feeling flat. But you're not!
Most people are just trying to get through each day stuck at home, let alone achieve new goals. Here are a few healthy moves you can make even when you're feeling stuck in a rut.
I'm always eager to learn from the best in the wellness industry, so I chatted to Sonja Sorich, founder and mastermind behind Spa Wellness Australia. I've been so lucky to be invited to be a Holistic Wellness Coach for this brand, and I'm just so thrilled to share the wonderful knowledge Sonja has learned after many years in the wellness industry.
I was always naturally athletic and active so that came easily, but so did my big appetite for rich european food which was readily available at home.
Due to being on the heavier side I became interested in nutrition and exercise. Whilst this was a hobby and a large part of my reading I then began working as an office manager in a wellness clinic that offered chiropractic, massage and rehabilitation. The clinic was located within the fitness centre I used to work out and attend classes. Whilst in this role I completed my Cert 4 in personal training and group fitness and I also trained in 3 Les Mills programs. I then went to India to study yoga and it was here that a different perspective on health was gained.
As you know I began as an office manager and then I stepped into teaching classes and personal training, whilst also having a role as a group fitness coordinator in one of Sydney's premier health clubs. After some time here I went aboard a cruise ship as the fitness instructor and then progressed into spa management.
I always sought to weave wellness into each spa I worked with and was also still teaching yoga on the side. I managed 5 star spas from cruise ships to the Maldives, Dubai, Whitsundays and then finally Australia's largest spa at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat on the Gold Coast. I also managed the 3 day retreat programs there.
After leaving Gwinganna I was asked to manage the pre-opening project for One&Only on Hayman Island and from there I set up my own business 'Spa Wellness Consulting' and now work for myself as a spa, wellness and retreat consultant.
Ive been involved in a number of projects now and I love the width and breadth of learning and career opportunities I have had in this industry.

Life is getting faster.
The way we live is more stressful and toxic and due to stress and lifestyle diseases being prevalent people can no longer ignore that they need to look after themselves.
I also believe that the media promotes youthfulness and anti ageing and a large part of seeking wellness is motivated by the desire to look and feel younger for longer. It is also becoming increasingly popular and trendy to be healthy.

It's a service that offers products and programs to help a person or company achieve better physical and mental wellbeing.
The best wellness consulting services use a combination of evidence-based knowledge and holistic medicine. That's the professional approach we use at Aprivé Wellness.
'Wellness' is the word of the moment, and Wellness Consulting is the newest vocation to evolve from this 3.4 trillion dollar industry. As a health professional, I've always endorsed a holistic approach for patient treatment and therapy. This holistic approach to injury, health and wellbeing is now recognised by the rest of the world as the wellness industry, and as it affects each and every one of us, it's gaining rapid momentum.
To guide people along their path of mental and physical wellbeing and change, wellness consultants have emerged from a variety of fields. I'm a qualified Physiotherapist, Pilates instructor and personal trainer, but other wellness consultants can be anyone from nutritionists to wellness retreat proprietors, entrepreneurs and fitness gurus.
Thanks to my background, I can offer wellness consulting services in a myriad of different ways:
Thanks to vocal advocates for mental and physical wellbeing like Arianna Huffington, the world has begun to recognise the importance of a well-rounded approach to lifestyle.
