Last week, I returned to my home town of Melbourne. After spending a couple of months in Western Australia before my fight in Perth the week prior, it was nice to be back on the East coast.
It was a quick trip for work and to catch up with family and friends. Although I took a couple of rest days...
There's a lot of information online about what you should and shouldn't eat. Some of it is credible and some of it is not. In my view, nothing should be blindly followed. What works for one person may end in disaster for another.
In the past, I've shared the general principles I follow when deciding what to eat. For me,...

Last week, I filmed a Muay Thai technique tutorial with trainer Dechsak Sangmorakot. The tutorial focused on the teep, also known as a push kick or front kick.
I've been doing pad work with Dechsak - "Sak" for short - for a month or so now at Kao Sok in Perth. He has been teaching me new techniques and it's...
As the seasons change, I adjust my skincare accordingly. There are some basic products that I use all year round, but for the winter months my skin needs a little extra care. This year, I've added in a few new products.

I've spent the past few weeks in Perth, getting back to proper training after...
If you've experienced bloating and can't work out exactly what causes it, I feel your pain. I used to suffer from terrible bloating, to the point where I'd look pregnant. It would take at least 3 days to properly settle and go down. Not cool, especially when a modelling job would pop up at the same time.
Over the years,...
After a month of travel and work commitments, I've just started to get back to proper daily training. As is the case after any break, my whole body is extra sore. This means that recovery after training is essential to be able to train properly again the next day.
Each person has their own recovery techniques. I think it's worth...
Saturday night was freezing cold as we made our way to Serpentine Jarrahdale Recreation Centre in Byford (Perth), WA for Domination Muay Thai 20. Arriving at the venue around 7 pm as the show was about to commence, we headed backstage.
Thankfully it was a lot warmer back there with clusters of fight teams wrapping their fighters' hands and warming...
