I want to give a big shout-out to FUJI Sports for their awesome gear and for their amazing sponsorship for all my camps and for their support for women in BJJ. They empower women in BJJ, MMA, and Judo by providing a huge range of clothing to female athletes that are just as available and full of variety as the men’s range. Other companies may have a few token items for the females that train but Fuji Sports focus as much on the female athletes as much as the male athletes. Fuji Sports have been sponsoring me and taking care of me for years and has featured me on many of their campaigns in efforts to support female athletes. They gladly support and sponsor many other female athletes who are helping to bring that feminine presence and awareness to the sport. So thank you Fuji Sports for all that you do.
For my next Lifestyle Camp coming up on June 4th FujiSports will be generously providing a couple of goodies to the goodie bag for all the ladies to enjoy!

A shout out to one of the amazing sponsors at my SophiaFIT Weekend Retreat 2020 who will be providing the BEST nut butter on the planet at this camp. Specialising in a variety of pecan butters, these are healthy yet so decadent and rich and delicious that it’s like eating a dessert.
Here is a delicious recipe for my oat bliss balls. I use peanut butter but you can easily switch out the peanut butter for Sunday Provisions pecan butter or any nut butter you prefer.

The past long weekend was just amazing at my Weekend Retreat. The camp was set at the stunning Anna Maria island surrounded by garden and just across the road from the beach. After a meet and greet dinner on Thursday evening we started the days of the retreat with a morning sunrise yoga taught by the lovely Christina Andranda. It was such a healing and relaxing way to start the day.
We enjoyed 2 hours of BJJ every day and the ladies opportunity to learn techniques that work better for women and train with women. For many, this is a unique and novel experience.
The afternoons were a time to relax and chill at the beach and enjoy the perfect weather and the evenings were dedicated to different workshops. We did a booty & ab workout one evening and a guided meditation with powerful visualisations on another.
I want to say thank you to Jodi and Stephanie for helping out and doing a great job with preparing all the healthy nutrition food. Also I want to say thank you to all the sponsors who provided their amazing products to the goodie bags that helped to make this whole camp experience even better. Don’t forget to use the exclusive discount codes especially provided for you from the camp and grab your gear at 25% off.

June 28 - May 3 my 2019 Lifestyle Camp took place. It was such an incredible experience. The weather was perfect, the house was stunning but what really made the camp so awesome was the ladies who attended. Each and everyone one of the guests were incredible, kind spirited women who supported each other and shared nothing but good vibes.
The days involved morning sunrise yoga taught by the lovely Jazmine Bienvenue followed by a nutrition breakfast. All the meals were cooked by the lovely Shea and Jodi.

Every day we trained BJJ where i taught technique that were better suited to worms bodies. We focused on guard recovery, framing and spider guard. It was such a great opportunity to train all week with women only.
Don’t mess with us!!!

The afternoons were spent chilling on the beach and exploring or having a one on on sessions with one of the facilitator at the camp. There was the opportunity to have a reiki session with Sheila or a facial with Jen.
And the evenings involved workshops on fitness and health or meditation to encompass body, mind and soul. These camps are about so much more than BJJ.
