“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 />
