Be Free Shine

About

Described as the poster girl for positive affirmations by one of her clients, health and sports coach Lauren van der Mast is a shining and leading light in the health, fitness and wellbeing industry, coaching others to free themselves from mental and emotional blocks and Shine!

Lauren was a passionate and very active child. Her love of sports began with soccer, dirt bike riding, karate and pro wrestling, spurred on by her male siblings. Growing up in a house bordering the bush, Lauren also developed a natural affinity for the great outdoors.

At 18 years of age, Lauren's life took a turn when she broke her collar bone in a cycling accident. This marked the start of what she refers to as her 'emancipation'. From this point Lauren discovered a passion for understanding health, fitness and wellbeing, wanting to overcome her own health, weight and self-esteem issues and go on to help others overcome the same for themselves. It was also at this time that she discovered her passion for rock climbing and in 2007 ranked 3rd Australian female.

After owning and operating Shine Wellbeing Solutions, a personal training company based in The Sutherland Shire, Lauren realised that the Health and Fitness Industry's focus on exercise and diet or lifestyle food plans was misleading and even doing us a disservice. So she closed her doors and went on to fill in the gaps. In this time she met and married the man of her dreams and birthed her gorgeous son at home in the water, straight into her own hands. Lauren then went on to complete a coaching certification before launching Be Free Shine.

Lauren's definition of health:

Health is far more than being free from disease or infirmity and it isn't found in diets or healthy 'lifestyle eating plans', nor with exercise.

Health is a state of mind. It is determined by your thoughts, beliefs and emotions, which create your intentions and actions which lead to your results.

To have health, a healthy body or to shed excess weight, you must first free yourself from the thoughts, beliefs and emotions that created the 'problem' aka symptom, in the first place. Replace it with love and you will Shine!

Be Free Shine on health and weight loss:

"Be Free Shine is a health wake up call, here to cast a light on the need to treat the cause of health issues rather than the symptoms, for example; weight gain, illness, disease or injury and to take the hard work and need for discipline out of health and weight loss.

Coaching people to heal their internal world first so that their thoughts and intentions are in alignment with their desired outcome and their actions reflect this.

Our mission is to increase the emotional intelligence of all people so they can set themselves free, heal themselves and live in a way that heals our world."
