Bev - Bevshealthyfood

Hi, I’m Bev — a Certified Nutrition, Health and Wellness Coach and an Accredited Mental Health First Aider. I specialise in Sports Nutrition, Gut Health, Psychology, Behaviour Change, Wellbeing Management, and Menopause support.

But before I was a coach, I was a woman in her early 50’s who decided enough was enough.

After years of living with clinical depression and relying on medication, I made a powerful decision to take back control of my health and wellbeing. At the time, I was smoking, struggling with fatigue and weight gain, and just not feeling like myself. The turning point came in 2012 when I quit smoking at the age of 52 — and that single change became the catalyst for an entire lifestyle transformation.

I embraced real, whole foods — cutting out refined sugar, gluten, and reducing dairy — and started learning how nutrition could impact not only physical health, but mental clarity, energy, and mood. As I improved what I was feeding my body, I also gained a deeper understanding of how the gut-brain connection influences our behaviours and emotional wellbeing.

Fitness became a daily practice. I began training regularly, paddleboarding, walking, and building strength — all of which helped me feel more alive, confident, and empowered. With the support of mentors like Sarah Wilson and The Betty Rocker, I found a new rhythm of nourishing and moving my body in a way that felt joyful and sustainable.

That journey led me to write Not Just Fresh Air, a 30-day meal plan and wellness guide that shares my personal transformation, alongside delicious, nutrient-rich recipes that reflect how I eat today — food that’s free from gluten, refined sugar, and full of nourishment.

As I changed my own life, I felt called to help others do the same. I studied with the Nutrition School and Wellness College Global, earning certifications in both nutrition coaching and behaviour change, so I could support others in making practical, lasting lifestyle shifts.

Today, I live in a beautiful coastal town where my husband Gary and I begin each morning with a walk, an ocean swim, and a coffee. I love spending time with my four amazing adult children and grandchildren, paddle boarding, cooking wholesome meals, and sharing what I’ve learned with others.

I believe that “age is no barrier”.  We can all feel strong, vibrant, and mentally clear with the right tools and support. If you’re ready to make meaningful, nourishing changes in your life, I’d love to walk alongside you.
