Hi I’m Amelia!

I have been in the health and wellness industry for over 25 years, and a fitness nut my entire life. I have enjoyed a career as a trainer, exercise scientist, researcher, nutritionist, podcaster, TV presenter and corporate speaker.

I co-founded the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation, one of the largest online health & fitness platforms in Australia. (Bigger than Weight Watches!)

I also have a Masters in Human Nutrition with Deakin University, and published a research paper on diet quality and mental health.

I am a nutrition and fitness expert on Channel 9 Today Extra, as well as appearing on A Current Affair and The Today Show.

I also host a top rating podcast called Healthy Her for Mums who are ready to regain control of their body, mind and life!

I live in Avalon on Sydney’s Northern beaches with my husband Tim, four kids, and our dog Diesel. When we’re not working or kid wrangling you’ll catch us at the beach, on family bike rides, or trying some new outdoor adventure (camping is next on our list – help me!!).

MY PHILOSOPHY

Health. Love. Purpose.

Health: I see exercise and nutrition as a platform that can supercharge our life. When we nourish with nutrition, build strength and resilience with exercise, we fill ourselves with energy to get the most out of life.

Nutrition philosophy: Simple. Balanced. Beautiful.

Exercise philosophy: Feel the burn. Love the burn!

Love: It sounds so woo woo but I try to always come from a place of love. I choose empathy and kindness and try not to be hard on myself or others. I believe this starts with our internal self talk. How can we be truly kind to others if we aren’t connected with our inner child and our vulnerabilities? Always evolve, act in a sustainable way, and teach our children to do the same.

“Love is a promise. Love is a souvenir. Once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.” — John Lennon

Purpose: I believe a life lived with purpose is a truly fulfilled life. A life where you know your values and use them as your true north. A life where you set priorities around what matters most to you, and you go for them! A life where you nurture your relationships and make a difference in other people’s lives.

“Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it” ― Buddha

“I am opinionated and passionate, but I know my stuff, so let’s get cracking and change some lives!”
