Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Vanessa Bartlett discuss the following:

1. What's happened in recent years for people to be feeling more stress in their lives ?
2. What effect does this have on people's health and wellbeing?
3. We have heard the saying ' exercise is medicine' ... how can exercise be a solution to this and what are some differences between Pilates and other forms of exercise being able to help people?
4. So what is pilates and what have you seen it help with the most in people?
5. What are your top tips to help the listeners overcome stress and fatigue right now?

With presenting appearances on the TVSN Home Shopping Channel, Channel 7 Morning Show and hosting various lifestyle online and community lifestyle shows, Vanessa has a vast understanding of what it takes to get in shape, stay in shape and build a healthy, sustainable lifestyle – both mind and body.

Vanessa has helped now in the thousands of women transform their bodies through her popular group classes and personal coaching and is known to help clients reach their optimal level of health with greater awareness of mindset. This is achieved through her unique combination of Pilates and Fitness methods, due to experiencing her own downfall with health.

After being constantly exhausted and sick for two years in her mid twenties, she was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, so began researching more ‘holistic’ exercise and health practices and studied the mind/body connection and its’ power in healing and restoring health and energy.

While having to cut back on ‘mainstream’ fitness to get well, she began doing Pilates and yoga and discovered that Pilates was able to energise, tone, strengthen and refocus her entire body and mind unlike other forms of exercise which left her feeling drained, so pursued its study.

Vanessa has studied with leading Pilates practitioners in Australia and also ‘safe spine’ expert Rebecca Leone (USA).

She has coached the Canterbury Bulldogs first grade NRL team in Pilates, and is part of an innovative wellness program to help people with mental health illness use Pilates and fitness to improve their condition.

Vanessa and the team from Canterbury Mental Health received an award for ‘Innovation in Healthcare’ in 2013 for this project and it is continuing today with success. She has also been featured in the Daily Telegraph for her expertise in core strength and helping people relieve back pain through her method of training.

So you’ve achieved balance in your life…What’s Next?

Author and motivational speaker Mia Adler Ozair, who has turned her passion for the mind/body/soul connection concept into a successful brand by utilizing over 25 years of experience in the worlds of education, mental health, health coaching, and the wellness arena into helping others live healthier, more fulfilling lives joins eHealth Radio and the Personal Development Channel. 

Listen to host Eric Michaels & guest Mia Adler Ozair discuss the following:

1. We all strive to maintain balance – whether it’s work/life, diet and exercise or healthy food intake with occasional splurges.  And to some degree, many of us have achieved some level of success in these areas as “balance” became the new mantra over the last decade.  So what should we all be asking ourselves in terms of, “What’s Next?”
2. Many successful entrepreneurs credit their effectiveness with constantly challenging themselves, and constantly setting and taking next steps to achieve goals. Tell us about your concept of “Unleashing your inner Warrior” and how does this apply to the business world and personal life.
3. What role does Accountability play in this?
4. You challenge people to ask themselves what is the deeper, underlying reason as to WHY it is important for people to commit.  Why is this first step so important?  What is the most frequent answer you have seen people give as to why they can’t or don’t commit to a goal?
5. You believe in focusing on 4 important aspects of life (mental, physical, spiritual, and global).  Tell us more about those and how people can apply those to their own lives.

SUMMARY: Set some ground rules. Push yourself and find the right support system. Don’t be afraid to do things you’ve never done before so that you get the results you have never gotten before.  You will most likely be uncomfortable at some point–that means you are DOING IT RIGHT. 

Invest in yourself emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, and financially WITH NO REGRETS because you will understand that YOU ARE WORTH IT ON EVERY LEVEL. You must internalize that MEANINGFUL, LASTING CHANGE TAKES TIME AND CONSISTENT EFFORT. THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS.

The mind/body/soul connection concept coupled with health and fitness has been a passion of mine since I am old enough to remember. My childhood was filled with every sport activity you can imagine and in high school I was on the springboard diving team (actually held the school record for a period of time!) and pom squad as well as participating in martial arts. I started working at the age of 16 as a lifeguard and swim instructor which continued well into my college years.

Fast forward to today and I have gathered over 25 years of experience in the worlds of education, mental health, health coaching, and the wellness arena. It’s been a great joy to write and author three books (Essential Proteen: Life Skills to Help Teens Succeed, Research Press; Insider’s Secrets: How to Choose an Exceptional Therapist, Oakhurst Publishing; Cook, Pray, Eat Kosher: The Essential Kosher Cookbook, Feldheim Publishers) which are all available on Amazon.com. Over the course of my career I’ve been a featured expert in numerous media outlets including print and radio (see media page) and have dedicated my professional work to helping others live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
 
In Fall 2016 I began working on my doctoral degree at the University of Southern California (USC) in Organizational Change and Leadership in the Rossier School of Education and am so honored to have been awarded a Schwarzenegger Institute on State and Global Policy Graduate Fellowship. It is my hope to use my doctoral work as a platform for helping to reduce the epidemic of childhood obesity in our country and bring awareness to the essential importance of striving to have a sound mind, healthy body, and happy soul. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about my background and I look forward to ushering you into wellness, leadership & global impact!
