Get Fit The Healing Way with Lyrical Healer - 26/03/11

Once of the many things I particularly love about our members or female talent that we follow, is that they are multi talented with a number of facades to them. And one such person is UK poet, radio present, author and host Lyrical Healer. Over the last year Lyrical Healer has been on a journey to get herself not only physically healthy but also spiritually and mentally healthy.

Lyrical Healer recently informed us about her new website for Get Fit The Healing Way. The website tells the story of Lyrical Healer’s journey from training, healthy eating, motivational tips and how to stay focused on your goals. Over the year she has gone down 4 dress sizes and lost over 40lbs.

I for one am all for this, my love for sweet things is getting the best of me. You know what they say new year new you.
