ABOUT

Hey, Friends! I’m Nina.


Your Health Coach & Wellness Practitioner

I’m intense. I’m ambitious. And I’m a huge ‘LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE’ advocate. 

I believe that when a woman is connected to her body, she is centered and leads with confidence. Our health and well-being journey is a manifestation of our sense of worth. 

I believe in the power of daily habits to cultivate freedom. I am interested in the intersection between Eastern wisdom and high-performance in life and career. I am convinced that lifting heavy is therapeutic. 

I am obsessed with croissants, talking about period & poop health, and strength training.

I am a coach, teacher, and guide for the movers & shakers who know that by optimizing their hormone health, they can feel more empowered to achieve their goals and leave their mark on the world. 

These beliefs and experiences inform my approach, life philosophy, and passion for working with other intense women throughout their health journey.

My Story

RECONNECT TO YOUR BODY’S WISDOM TO GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH TO DO YOU.

In my 20’s, I was disconnected to who I truly was.

I was looking to the outside world to be validated in what I should be doing and how I should be acting.

I spent years doing things I had little interest in or was not passionate about. I wasn’t listening to or understanding my mind and body. I just kept pushing and trying to overachieve. 

I had acne on my forehead, was constantly bloated, restless and not sleeping. Going to the bathroom was a 45-minute adventure, and not the fun kind of adventure. I thought this was normal and would eventually all go away.

 

It wasn’t until I was 28 and started strength training that I learned I was missing something: really knowing myself. 

Strength training became a microcosm of the real world. I learned that you could optimize your inputs to change your outcomes. 

One of the things you learn after your first few months of strength training is that if you want to be better, you need to do more than just train harder! You learn the importance of nutrition, sleep, mobility, mind and body treatments (read: recovery) for your overall progress. 

My obsession with getting better at lifting heavy focused my training and kicked off my exploration into manual therapies for recovery.

After learning a number of manual therapy techniques: cupping, Thai massage, Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST), etc., I stumbled upon acupuncture and East Asian Medicine.

East Asian Medicine is the intersection of mind, body and soul. You cannot optimize one without the other.  Through this traditional medicine, I dove deep into all aspects of who I was and who I wasn’t. I was able to accept where I was at, rediscover my passion for magic, history, and ancestral wisdom. 

It was the philosophy of East Asian Medicine that brought me back to strength training, and how to optimize my life and goals. I combined fitness and the ancient learnings of East Asian Medicine to re-educate my body and mind to heal my hormonal imbalances and gut issues. Instead of continuing to push, I learned to listen to my body and honour where it was in the moment.

 It was my journey that inspired me to start JungWay. It has become my mission to help other women, like me, gain control of their hormones and redefine what it means to be successful.
