About Mardi
I’m Mardi — founder of Love Your Body, passionate health coach, nutrition advocate, and lifelong student of what it means to truly thrive.
Born in Melbourne, I left home at 23 with a passport full of dreams and a heart open to adventure. After a short career as a qualified beauty therapist, I found myself in Venice, falling in love with both the city and life itself. From there, I travelled through Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, before eventually planting roots in New Zealand — the place I now call home.
In 1994, I launched my first beauty and wellness business. Over the years, I gained extensive qualifications in remedial massage, aromatherapy, iridology, reflexology, and Reiki. But despite everything I’d studied and practiced, I still felt a longing to understand more deeply how the body — and especially women’s health — really works.
That curiosity led me to one of my greatest passions: nutrition and holistic health.
I’ve always believed that how we nourish ourselves — physically, mentally and emotionally — shapes how we feel in our skin, in our energy, and in our lives. But it wasn’t until I hit a personal crossroads that everything truly shifted.
March 2020. The world changed overnight. I had just turned 50, and like so many women at this life stage, I felt unbalanced, overwhelmed and unsure of what was happening in my body. The pandemic only magnified what many of us already felt — stressed, exhausted, and looking for answers that conventional advice just couldn’t give.
I dived deep. I researched endlessly, sought out professionals, tried every recommendation — and still, nothing worked.
That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands and study health coaching through a global institute based in New York. That journey changed my life. I followed it with a specialist course in hormone health, and gained advanced knowledge in nutrition and lifestyle medicine — knowledge I now use every day to support and guide others.
Today, Love Your Body is the expression of everything I’ve learned — and continue to learn. It's where I help women, especially those navigating perimenopause and beyond, reconnect with their health, energy, and joy.
My approach is compassionate, practical and completely tailored to you. I combine years of hands-on experience, lived wisdom, and the most up-to-date nutritional science to help you create lasting, positive change — without the overwhelm.
This is about more than just food or fitness. It’s about learning to tune into your body, understand your hormones, restore your energy, and build a lifestyle that actually supports the woman you are now.
✨ If you’re ready to get curious, reconnect with yourself, and feel better than you have in years — I’m here for you.
Let’s begin the journey back to loving your body — from the inside out.
With love,
Mardi x
