Personal transformation

The importance of education, learning, and applying the learning was (and still is) pivotal in her own personal transformation following a life changing event in 2014. At a very challenging time, Colleen needed to find greater balance across all aspects of her life. She needed to regain her sense of self and bring her emotional, mental, nutritional and physical wellbeing into alignment.

Personal development and learning

Colleen was keen to understand how nutrition, reiki and yoga had impacted her and her late husband’s personal wellbeing so positively at a time of great stress and turmoil. Following his death she chose to study and qualify in these areas so she could help others.

Colleen is now a:

Certified Coach and member of the Association for Coaching (AC)
Nutrition Advisor and member of the Naturopathic Nutrition Association (NNA)
Reiki Master
Kundalini Tantra Yoga Teacher (Adults) with additional specialist training in Yoga for Children and Children with Special Needs.

She has insurance with Wellbeing Insurance and is currently studying to become a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist with Natural Healthcare College.

Colleen has always had a passion for guiding people, young and old, to become the best they can be. As result of that passion combined with the profound personal transformation she has undergone, she founded NOURISH Holistic Wellbeing Ltd in November 2018.
