1. She Loves Her Post-Baby Body

Healey bounced back from having a baby by adopting healthy habits. “After Coco arrived my appetite is nowhere near as big, I also eat much healthier and swear by green tea and liters of water everyday,” she says. “I’d say I’m the smallest I’ve ever been in my life but the most happiest and content I guess I’ve ever been, not because I’ve lost the weight but just appreciating myself and my body much more realizing how amazing a woman’s body is.”

2. She’s An Adrenaline Junkie

Healey once bungee jumped and really enjoyed the experience. “I loved it! I was so gassed about this… I couldn't wait,” she says. “I think obviously when we went up in the bungee my head went a bit like, ‘Oh my god Chelsee, what are you actually doing?’ But honestly that was just the best experience. I loved it. I would never have done one of them off my own back, so I'm just so thankful that I got to do it… I think my adrenaline took over. Obviously when I was about to go on it I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ I remember going up and I was like, ‘Can I just stop?’ It was just so exciting and I had such a rush after that. It was brilliant. I'd definitely do another one.”

Healey loves seafood, especially sushi (although she jokes that she can’t handle adult chopsticks). “Sushi can be a healthy choice, but it depends on the type you choose and the ingredients used,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Oily fish, such as salmon, provides omega-3, which is an essential fatty acid and has to be obtained from your diet. The World Health Organization recommends eating 1-2 portions of oily fish a week, so sushi may be a delicious way to help reach these targets.”

Healey has learned to focus on the positive and appreciate herself both inside and outside. “There’s never been a time when I’ve been fully content in my appearance, but as I’ve got older I have learnt to be happier with things,” she says. “Being a mum definitely puts life into perspective and things I used to worry about all the time just don’t feel as important now... I accept my flaws and my imperfections more now, and I appreciate myself looks-wise and how I am as a person. I don’t think I’d change anything about me now. The one thing I’m 100-per-cent happy with is my heart. My heart is perfect and that’s the important thing.”

5. She Exercises Outdoors

Healey enjoys visiting her local park for some exercise in the sunshine and fresh air. “Exercising outdoors increases our exposure to sunlight, enhancing vitamin D production, which has been linked to improving mood, promoting bone health, boosting immune system function and reducing inflammation,” says Cedric X. Bryant, PhD, FACSM. “Being in nature boosts feelings of well-being and life satisfaction. In fact, simply being outside and breathing fresh air has been shown to reduce stress and enhance relaxation. Research shows that being in nature, also called forest bathing, reduces stress and enhances relaxation. Exercising, particularly outdoors, drives tremendous mental health benefits, ranging from reducing depression and anxiety to enhancing self-esteem and mood. Combine that with the physiological benefits of exercise, and you'll see greater levels of joy in your life.”
