PHYSICAL WELLNESS

As a health professional - especially in the realm of nutrition - people come to me wanting to work and focus on their physical wellness. This is also where I began my personal journey of wellness. However, I have learned through my clients and my own personal experience that enduring physical wellbeing has much less to do with physical factors such as nutrition and movement, and much more to do with mental and emotional factors. How we think determines how we feel, and how we feel influences what we do or do not do. So always, always, it comes down to thoughts and mindset as the ultimate origin for our resulting physical health. Mental and emotional wellness fosters and fuels sustained physical wellness. Without these factors as a solid foundation, physical wellbeing is a precarious thing. This is why we see temporary improvement or ‘success’; the ‘yo-yo’

R osanna Pappalardo CALOUNDRA INTERIOR DESIGNER 'SEAS' VALUE IN QOIN

An interior stylist on the Sunshine Coast who is adapting homes for those seeking a sea change now has designs on digital currency, Qoin. Rosanna Pappalardo launched RJP Design and Decor in Brisbane 17 years ago. Now based in Caloundra, her business works alongside those residents who have recently relocated to the Sunshine Coast. “More and more people are making a sea change and moving into areas like Caloundra and Maroochydore,” she said. “My role as a designer is to help them adapt their home to suit their needs and make them feel more comfortable.

“Qoin makes my business more accessible for the changing times.” RJP Design and Decor offers a full design service including kitchen and bathroom design, interior and exterior colour schemes, decoration and styling, furniture layout and space planning, renovations and new developments, product sourcing and window coverings. “I love to be involved in the whole project and follow through a client’s vision. I like to work with their ideas, and I enjoy the challenge of bringing them into reality,” Rosanna said. One of the first interior designers on the Sunshine Coast to accept Qoin, Rosanna joined the community because the digital currency network is all about supporting small business. “There’s been a lot of hype around digital currencies. The biggest difference about Qoin is the opportunity to support other small businesses on the Sunshine Coast,” she said. “Businesses here are small, they’re not big corporations… if I’m on board and there’s others on board, then it will encourage people to buy locally, support Sunshine Coast made and promote the small businesses on the Sunshine Coast.” ca
