“I am living the<br />

ZooZLifestyle. I lead by<br />

example. People know me<br />

and trust me because of this.<br />

I do not promote a quick fix or<br />

crash diets. I am proud to see<br />

how my clients achieve their<br />

health goals, maintain them<br />

and integrate them into<br />

the lifestyle of their entire<br />

family,” says Hende-Mari.<br />

She is a firm believer<br />

of eliminating negative<br />

thoughts, people and<br />

lifestyle choices in order<br />

to pursue her dreams.<br />

Apart from being a<br />

fitness fanatic changing<br />

people’s lives through<br />

fitness, Hende-Mari loves<br />

spending time with her<br />

daughter. “I enjoy good food<br />

and wine with family and close<br />

friends. My ultimate treat is a Spa<br />

Day – either alone, or with my girl<br />

friends who lift me up and have<br />

the same outlook on life.”<br />

Her tips to young, aspiring<br />

women who want to follow in her<br />

footsteps, is to have a goal and work<br />

very hard. Given enough personal<br />

grit and motivation, her personal<br />

inspiration transformation proves that<br />

you can achieve anything you set your<br />

mind to.<br />

“Don’t be afraid to fail, through<br />

failure you learn to succeed. Be kind<br />

and always give back.”<br />
