Hi, I'm Selina 😊
I am crazy about everything health, fitness and wellbeing!
I am a fitness & nutrition coach who runs their own business Impact Coaching by Selina. Coming into my fourth year of coaching, I am passionate about teaching women the benefits of strength training and finding a balance within their diet and lifestyle.
Throughout my fitness journey I have competed in both competitive powerlifting and bodybuilding. After five state titles with the WRPF, achieving over 5 Australian records, I started to complete in local bodybuilding shows. Most recently I have competed on the FMG Australia stage, placing in the top 10 in the Australian ProAm. This is where I am continuing to compete under the fitness bikini model division.
Working with Bulk Nutrients aligns so well with my values. My clients, friends and family all see me using the array of products from their range, which creates a great opportunity for me to promote the things I love to use day to day.
Check out my Instagram where I post various recipes in regards to education, training and the range of Bulk products.
Go check it out or message me for any information you may need!
Recommended Products
My recommended Bulk products are...
Protein Matrix+
Why I love it: My favourite flavour is Salted Caramel. It's great to mix in to a variety of things. It's great mixing into yogurt, but mixed with oats is my favourite way to use it.
How I use it: Mixed into a variety of products, or baked into protein muffins or slices.
Pre Workout 101
Why I love it: The great flavour, there's no crash or that overpowering sensation you sometimes get with a Pre Workout. I create my own Pre Workout Stack to improve my performance and endurance, and aid in my recovery.
How I use it: I use a variety of products to make my pre-workout stack, including Creatine, Acetyl L-Carnitine and L Glutamine. I mix it with water just before cardio/training.
Creatine Monohydrate
Why I love it: Creatine is one of the most researched supplements, with benefits for muscle growth and strength.
How I use it: As part of my pre-workout stack
My approach to nutrition
This varies as to whether I am in competition prep or not. I like to promote balance when it comes to food. I usually follow the 80/20 rule with my whole & soul foods.
As I reiterate to my clients - a good relationship with food is vital to achieving a healthy and balanced lifestyle. When I enter competition prep however, my nutrition is focused on performance, aesthetics and recovery - hence why the shift to only whole foods is needed.
My Day on a Plate
Breakfast: Raspberry Biscoff overnight weetbix - with Protein Matrix in Salted Caramel mixed into the yogurt layer.
Snack 1: A punnet of raspberries or blueberries and a Chobani yogurt pouch.
Lunch: A protein source, either rice or pumpkin, and veg.
Snack 2: Either a protein smoothie (using Protein Matrix, berries, maple syrup, banana and ice) or rice cakes with peanut butter and a protein shake.
Dinner: A protein source, potato rice or pasta, veg and sauce.
Latest Results
Do you have any medium/long term goals you're working towards?
To improve my knowledge to benefit all of my clients, you always need to continue learning in this industry. I would love to compete again with FMG Australia.
Have you had any exceptional results (in competitions or otherwise) in the last few years? Let us know what they are!
Most recently I have competed on the FMG Australia stage, placing in the top 10 in the Australian ProAm. This is where I am continuing to compete under the fitness bikini model division.
