Vaia Beauty

My clients constantly ask about my health and fitness journey. 2 years ago I decided to quit alcohol and get really serious about my body- especially in preparation for the hysterectomy I had. As I really focused on my training, nutrition, sleep and stress management, my body started shifting, I started feeling strong and fit. Then boom 💥 addiction to fitness!! This was partly for me, but to also model to my children what healthy living looked like. I’ve taken it pretty far! In the last year I have competed in Hyrox and have run 4 half marathons (I was never a runner- ever!!) Now training for the full upcoming Sydney Marathon which has become like a full time job. I need to eat like a machine, sleep like it’s medicine and obviously train like a weapon. This looks like 4 runs per week- between 40-60km per week and 2 very specific strength workouts to support my runs.
The best thing I ever did for myself was understanding how to connect with my body and learn how to push through pain. This helped/helps me with my mental health also!!
So ladies, I don’t want to hear- I can’t. Because you can! All you have to do is start somewhere. Us women are made of magic, grit and all sorts of wonderful stuff.
Happy Wednesday 🌈

Anthocyanins are the deep blue/purple/red pigments found in foods like:

* Blueberry
* Blackberry
* Tart cherry
* Blackcurrant
* Purple grape

They appear to support nitric oxide in a few ways:

• Enhancing endothelial function — helping blood vessels relax and dilate more efficiently
• Reducing oxidative stress that normally breaks down nitric oxide
• Supporting the enzyme eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase), which helps produce NO
• Improving circulation and oxygen delivery to muscles and tissues

For athletes, this may translate to:

* Better blood flow
* Improved endurance
* Reduced muscle fatigue
* Faster recovery

For skin:

* Increased circulation = more oxygen and nutrients to skin cells
* Better glow and skin vitality
* Support for wound healing and collagen health

This is one reason berries are becoming popular in performance nutrition and longevity spaces — they’re not just antioxidants, they’re vascular-supportive compounds too 🫐

Dear Clients,
Just a little note to let you now that I will be stepping away from the clinic for training and continued education. The dates will be 31/5/26-18/6/26.
During this time, the on -line store will be closed and I will be off line.
If you would like to make an appointment prior to my departure, or if you need to stock up on skin care or supplements, please get in touch ASAP.
With love,
Vaia x

Hormones ✨
The main reason I studied Naturopathy.
I especially love using the skin as a map and a gateway for what could be happening internally (of course this would be paired with bloodwork or hormone saliva testing for accuracy and from a treatment perspective) 🌸

The Gua sha signature facial doesn’t just lift and sculpt — it moves stagnant energy, or trapped chi, allowing your face and spirit to breathe freely. Through gentle, flowing movements, this ritual helps to:
• Clear blockages and restore energy flow
• Reduce puffiness and tension
• Boost circulation for a radiant, natural glow
• Harmonize mind, body, and skin

More than a facial, it’s a holistic experience — leaving you feeling refreshed, balanced, and luminous from the inside out 💫
