Meet your host
Hi, I'm Tamara - The MindFuelBody Coach
I’m an accredited Hypnotherapist, Nutritionist, Personal Trainer and UESCA-certified Ultra Run Coach, with over seven years of experience supporting and empowering individuals on their journey to a holistic wellbeing. Integrating mindset, movement, and nutrition, and emphasising the profound connection between the mind and body. Alongside this, I’m currently training to become a qualified Mountain Leader and a Counsellor & Psychotherapist, deepening my connection with the outdoors and expanding the way I guide others through wild landscapes - both inner and outer.
For many years, I lived an unhealthy and unhappy life, feeling disconnected from myself. As a teenager, my doctor told me I would never be sporty or fit because of the thyroid medication I had to take, which was devastating at the time. Years later, through a personalised training and nutrition plan, I transformed my health - losing 19kg, regaining my vitality, and discovered my passion for ultra trail running and IronMan triathlons. This journey taught me resilience, self-belief, and the importance of living a lifestyle aligned with who I truly am.
Gradually, I started to spend more time in nature, and through those small steps, I began to reconnect with myself and others on a deeper level. For me, trail running, especially ultra distances, became my teacher, showing me resilience, patience, and what it means to meet myself at my edges.
The heart of my work, through MindFuelBody, lies in recognising the power of nature as a space for reflection, healing, transformation - a place to breathe. Whether through 1:1 holistic run coaching, group events, retreats, hiking, or mindful movement on the trails, I help others reconnect with their inner self - that part of us that knows how to adapt, transform, and rise. Finding their roots in movement, nature, and their mind-body connection.
