Belinda Furse is a certified Nutrition Health Coach and Fitness Professional with a specialisation in pre and post natal fitness. She trained as a lawyer and worked for many years in the corporate world in personal injury litigation, gaining a deep understanding of the significant impacts of psychological and physical injuries in the workplace.
Through her work in both the public and private sectors, Belinda has seen fellow leaders and colleagues struggle with stress, burn out and a lack of energy. In January 2020, Belinda founded Be Well Be You, a health and wellness company. The company was created with the clear intention:
“to inspire busy professionals to make lifestyle changes that will help them have increased energy, happiness and motivation”.
Belinda combines her deep understanding of the impact of workplace wellness, her training as a nutrition health coach, and her passion and versatility to coach people to achieve their nutrition and lifestyle goals. Belinda offers guidance and accountability – from exercise and nutrition to relationships, career and mindfulness – in order for her clients to live a more vibrant life.
In short, Belinda’s mission is for lawyers to be well (both physically and mentally) and bring their authentic selves to the workplace every day.
