Miraculoss. Life changing weight loss.
The desire to lose weight is the desire to feel good; to feel confident about your health, your appearance, and your ability to positively change your life. But trying to lose weight can be a difficult, negative experience that leaves you feeling dejected and defeated.
At Miraculoss, we transform the experience of weight loss. We provide the right tools, education and personalised support to empower you to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
We are passionate about helping you to achieve your optimal health and weight. We treat you with empathy and care because we understand the challenge you face. We equip you with knowledge and new skills, so you feel in control. Our approach is authentic and genuine because your success and you are important to us.
Losing weight is the initial goal. But the confidence and energy you gain from weight loss? That’s life changing.
Miraculoss is a unique weight management programme with personalised coaching.
Supported by a team of health professionals, Miraculoss is based on the extensive research of doctors dedicated to healthy body weight and wellbeing – including dietary specialists Dr Simeons, Dr Weston A Price, Dr Robert Young and Dr Barry Sears.
Miraculoss is made up of seven stages which cover the periods before, during and after weight loss to ensure you are completely supported and guided on a healthy, effective weight loss journey.
Meet our coaches below!
Fiona Paulsen – Managing Director
Fiona, a trained teacher and owner of Mana Natural Health & Beauty, taught clients for many years that inner health leads to outer beauty.
From the beginning, Fiona knew that Miraculoss was the answer to her struggle with achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight.
Having tried a wide range of healthy approaches with little success, and being philosophically against ‘dieting’, Fiona was delighted when she read the research that she based Miraculoss on.
“It was an ‘aha!’ moment for me. All the lights went on and I just knew this was the answer I’d been looking for. I remember feeling so excited, knowing that I’d stumbled across something completely life-changing.” Fiona manages and oversees the support of clients and coaches and is also responsible for developing the nutritional education components of the programme.
Julie Buckley – Coach Mentor and Trainer
For most of her adult life, Julie was the classic yo-yo dieter. As a Chef working irregular hours (she was the baker for Wellington’s Ministry of Food and then ran her own café), she found it hard to form healthy habits.
After completing three cycles of Miraculoss, losing 32kg (35% of her body mass) and keeping the weight off, Julie then spent eight years as a Miraculoss coach. While Julie is no longer coaching, she spends her time training and mentoring our coaching team.
Julie continues to love working with food and has developed recipes for Miraculoss that are not only delicious but nutritious, often based on organic whole foods. She says, “These days, we are blessed with a huge variety of interesting healthy food choices. Eating healthily doesn’t have to be boring; you can enjoy fine food and enjoy a body you’re proud of.”
Marie Jarosch – Health & Weight Loss Coach
Marie was one of our first clients at Miraculoss. After she lost 16kg, she was ecstatic to rediscover beloved garments that had been hidden at the back of her wardrobe for years. Her Miraculoss experience was so profound that Marie decided she wanted to become a coach.
Marie focuses on a holistic approach to health and is trained in a number of natural modalities including Reiki, Aromatherapy and Foot Reflexology. She is also a Tai Chi teacher and Chi Gong trainer. Marie says, “Balance and harmony are key elements for a happy life. When we achieve balance, everything, including maintaining a healthy weight, becomes easier.”
Maureen Collins-Lucic – Health & Weight Loss Coach
Maureen is a registered nurse with over 30 years’ experience in the health sector. For Maureen, working in primary health care has reinforced the importance bodyweight plays in general health.
“Your health really is your greatest asset”, says Maureen. “A healthy body weight reduces the risk of many serious health problems. Not only that, there is far more enjoyment to be had from life when you are fit and well.”
Having lost 11 kilos with Miraculoss, Maureen is delighted to now be assisting others to achieve their ideal body weight. Maureen gains much pleasure from working with clients and seeing them transform as they achieve their goals.
Bianca Robinson – Health & Weight Loss Coach
After personally experiencing the benefits of Miraculoss, Bianca also decided to become a coach. Bianca is passionate about the holistic health and wellness of her clients and enjoys helping them achieve positive changes in their diet and lifestyle.
Bianca is qualified in iridology and sclerology and is trained in Nutritional Therapeutics and Kinesiology. Over the years, many Miraculoss clients have been referred to Bianca for nutritional advice, and have benefited greatly from her expertise in nutrient therapy.
Trish Miles – Health & Weight Loss Coach
From Trish’s own personal journey with Miraculoss, she realised that losing weight was just a bonus to the other positive, life-changing habits she learned.
To pay it forward, Trish decided to become a coach – “I love supporting my clients and helping them make those essential changes in their thinking and their life so they can enjoy the same benefits I’ve experienced!”
Joanne Donaldson – Health & Weight Loss Coach
For Joanne, who had struggled with weight her entire life, the daily coaching and support she received from Miraculoss was a game-changer. So when the opportunity came up to become a Miraculoss coach, Joanne quickly put her hand up.
Joanne says, “I love being a part of this amazing team who is shaking up the weight loss industry and exposing the many myths about weight loss that we’ve believed for so long.”
Sue Wilson – Health & Weight Loss Coach
Sue has a lifelong passion for health and wellness, completing studies in many areas including beauty therapy, aromatherapy, Swedish therapeutic massage, and functional nutrition.
Despite this, Sue faced challenges with increasing weight while going through menopause. It was at this point that Sue signed up with Miraculoss.
Sue was so impressed with the programme, specifically the education and daily support, that she became part of the coaching team – “Every client is unique and it’s an absolute honour to be part of their lives while they are with us at Miraculoss.”
Aishu Mohan – Health & Weight Loss Coach
Aishu grew up in a household in Southern India where this belief is rife – ‘Let food be thy medicine.’
After moving to Singapore for her Masters degree, the busy student life changed her priorities, leading to unhealthy weight gain which she struggled to shift. Five years later, Aishu decided to address it before starting a family.
She completed the Miraculoss programme both before and after her pregnancy, successfully reducing and maintaining a healthy body weight.
Aishu is now a Miraculoss coach herself and enjoys empowering people to improve their health and wellbeing – “I am really pleased to be a part of my clients’ journey as they transform their lives and discover that health is the real wealth.”
Lauren Barnao – Health & Weight Loss Coach
Lauren is a qualified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach with her own Miraculoss story. In her mid-20s, Lauren was overweight with digestive issues, terrible skin, poor sleep and low energy levels and thought Miraculoss would just be a ‘quick weight loss fix’ – “I had no idea how much the Miraculoss program would change the trajectory of my life!” Lauren did two successful rounds with the same coach and lost around 15kg overall.
Now as a coach herself, Lauren loves helping clients to not only lose weight, but to also learn about nutrition and their bodies and instil life-long change.
Mary Ouwerkerk – Health & Weight Loss Coach
Mary brings with her 30 years’ experience in Primary School Education, working in the area of Special Needs. Towards the end of her teaching career, Mary noticed her weight gain was impacting her mental state, energy levels and knee health. She signed up with Miraculoss, lost 22kgs and learned how to sustain a healthy lifestyle.
Today, instead of helping children, she helps adults to transform their health and lives through weight loss – “Opportunity, knowledge, and the right support are the keys to learning new skills and creating lasting change. I love assisting my clients to achieve their health and weight loss goals, learn new skills, and discover how to work proactively with their body. It is such a privilege to help others become free of unnecessary health and weight struggles.”
