I am a journalist based here in Brisbane and work for one of Australia's leading women's magazines. The pressure of both work and the terrible loss of our little nephew Sammy this past year saw me completely run down. I woke up one morning, and felt as though my entire body had broken down.

I have always been a very fit person, and my diet is regarded very healthy. I had nowhere to turn to, and was referred by a friend to Step into Health in Carindale. I had been living abroad for many years and had no real support network here in Brisbane.

That day when I walked into Step into Health, everything changed. Meeting Maxine and Laurie has changed my life - with their expertise, kindness, guidance, and at times, stern words, they handed me a challenge which we all knew was going to be tough - but I said bring it on, and I have not looked back. My weight had soared to 66 kg from 58 kg - all due to fluid retention. My body had simply shut down. I combated a serious bacterial infection, a liver detox, and a complete overhaul - I had a goal in sight and I achieved it.

This would not have been a happy ending if not for Maxine and Laurie - they were as committed as I was, taking my calls and answering my emails at all hours, talking me through some very low moments. Today I am back to where I should be - a healthy and vital woman in her late 40's. Call it miraculous, but the transformation both physically and emotionally would never have been so dramatic had it not been for Step into Health.

The most redeeming part of this success story is the fact that I will be continuing to see them for consultation, ensuring I am on top of things, and not let anything topple me again. Through hard work, and sheer determination, the change and transformation in me in just under eight weeks is remarkable.

Thank you Maxine and Laurie for giving me my life back.
