About me
Health and Wellness Coach and Professional Chef
Amanda Higgins
I was born and raised in South Africa. My husband and I have spent the past 25 years living and working around the world while we raised our three children. This enabled me to have an amazing insight into how people live and survive around the world. Throughout my travels, my passion for food held centre stage. I loved learning and absorbing the best each country had to offer and how different cultures used food to heal and thrive. Healthy living, for me, has been the cornerstone for living a fulfilling and vibrant life. It has shaped my physical well-being, sharpened my mental clarity, and boosted my emotional resilience, which I have needed with so much travel and upheaval.

I am a certified health and well-being coach, professional chef and hold an honours degree in teaching.
As a qualified health coach, chef, food photographer, and recipe developer, I bring a unique blend of skills and passions to my work. My journey revolves around a deep love for food and a mission to inspire others. These tools have enabled me to teach and educate people across the globe about the transformative power of whole foods for achieving and maintaining good health.
Whether it’s through crafting nourishing recipes, capturing the vibrant beauty of ingredients, or coaching individuals toward a healthier lifestyle, I’m committed to making the connection between food and well-being accessible, delicious, and inspiring.
I am passionate about working with women who have hit rock bottom in their health and lives and are ready for change. Having navigated my own transformative health journey, I’ve learned powerful lessons that I now share with others. This unique formula could become yours, empowering you with the tools to lead a vibrant, healthy, and energized life.
I specialize in supporting women over 40, particularly peri and post menopause, in achieving sustainable weight loss, helping them rediscover their strength, confidence, and vitality.
