My Story
I’m Hayley — and I built this business because I lived it.
Health & Lifestyle Coach. Boy Mum. Aries. Full-time caravan-dweller. Recovering burnout-queen.
If you’d told me five years ago I’d be running my own health and lifestyle business from a caravan touring Australia, I would’ve laughed at you. Probably while crying into a coffee, in between school drop-off and a Zoom call I didn’t have the energy for.
Back then, I was stuck. It was 2020, I was working from home in Melbourne with two little boys, completely isolated, and absolutely drowning. My mental health was rough. My marriage was under pressure. My anxiety was the worst it’s ever been. I’d lost any sense of who I was outside of “mum” and “employee”, and I was so far from the woman I actually wanted to be.
I tried everything to fix it. Fitness apps. Random programs. Juice cleanses I hated every second of. Nothing stuck because none of it was ever built around my actual life.
the turning point
What finally changed things wasn’t another app or another “21-day reset.” It was working with a health coach over 8 weeks who combined nutrition, movement, mindset and lifestyle. A step by step, no overwhelm, no extremes. For the first time, something actually worked. Not because it was a quick fix, but because it was sustainable.
That’s when I knew.
I wanted to be that person for other mums, the one in their back pocket, helping them find themselves again the same way I did.
where I'm at now
These days, life looks pretty different. In May 2025, my partner Todd and I packed up our “normal” life and hit the road full-time with our boys because we were done surviving and ready to actually live. We chose time over things, presence over busyness, and showing our kids that life doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s.
Building that kind of freedom didn’t happen by accident. Alongside EmpowerHer Health, I’ve built income through network marketing, businesses I genuinely believe in, built around products I personally use every single day. It’s given our family real financial flexibility without either of us having to trade all of our time for someone else’s dream. If that kind of freedom sounds like something you’ve been thinking about too, I’d love to chat.
I’m a Certificate IV qualified PT, Group Fitness Instructor, Women’s Hormone Health Practitioner, and Reiki Level 2 practitioner. ut honestly, my biggest qualification is having been exactly where you are. Burnt out, lost, and not sure where to even start.
what I believe
I don’t do fad diets, food group elimination, or “overhaul your whole life by Monday” programs. I believe in whole foods, treats in moderation, and small sustainable habits that actually fit your real life, not someone else’s idea of what wellness should look like.
I also believe in a low-tox home, income that travels with you, and women having something that’s truly their own. A business, a purpose, a reason to back themselves.
And I believe a mum who looks after herself isn’t being selfish. She’s setting the most powerful example her kids will ever see.
