Name: Vicki Hadfield

Rank: Proud Originator, Happiness Ambassador, Motivator &
Trainer at Baradine Bodies’ Fitness For Females’
Website, Personal Training & Fitness Modelling,
Creator of Fitness For Females‘ Fitness Filosofy & Training System,
The Healthy Life Habit, Supportive Spouses,

What led you to work in the Health & Happiness Industry?
Being a tomboy growing up, appreciating muscles and strength,
and of course, being passionate about being fit and healthy,
fitness seemed like a natural path for me to follow.
I am also blessed to have some wonderful role models
& mentors in my life…
…showing me ‘the light at the end of the tunnel’
– often, without knowing they were doing it 🙂
Like so many people, I struggled with situations beyond my control
as a child & young adult, my coping mechanisms developed into
life-lifting skills.
These skills have resulted in me becoming
the Happiest Person I Know,
and it’s my passion to share those skills with
as many others as I can reach 🙂
“Happy Is My Default Setting”

What was your first experience of working in the Fitness Industry?
A love of Gymnastics led to me becoming a Level 1 Coach & Judge
in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics in 1980.
Later that year, I developed and taught “Fitness For Females”
classes at the local Youth Centre…
…even my Mum was a class participant, which
I thought was really cool!
I’ve been a member of Australian Fitness Network
since January 1993
– YES, I’m now in my nifty Fifties, and LOVING IT!

What is your most memorable fitness-related experience?
Again, to choose just one is hard, there have been so many…….
OK, my first fitness modelling job on
“Good Morning Australia”
was the ultimate reward for overcoming a sad case of
“couch potato syndrome“.

What is a highlight of your work in the Happiness in Relationships Area?

As a Happiness Expert for many years, I also became known for my
long & very happy relationship with
Richard, my wonderful husband.
We were frequently being asked what our ‘secrets’ were,
and the natural progression for us was to
develop our Supportive Spouses Program where we share the best
simple sustainable strategies we’ve created & used to
Make Happy Our Default Setting in Marriage & In Life.
A highlight of my work in the Happiness in Relationships area is
being featured as an International Expert in the eBook prefaced by best selling author of “Chicken Soup For The Soul” Jack Canfield;
“Successful Living & Successful Marriage”.

What is the most rewarding part of your work in the
Health & Happiness Industry?
Gosh, sooo many, hmmm let’s see;

• Seeing my gorgeous clients’ self image soar as a result of their successes,
  especially when they break a “World” Record.
• Having a PT session referred to as “Laughter Therapy”
  ……now that makes me smile  😉
• Witnessing a boost in confidence, a prouder posture, and
  a spring in the step, or a smile on the dial of someone I’ve interacted
  with, whether they happen to be a friend, a client,
  or even the lady at the checkout in the supermarket
  – these experiences are priceless!
• Guiding my awesome clients to reach their goal of competing
  on stage as Natural Body-builders is a huge honour.
  Eg.: Tanya was positively glowing on stage, her head held high with pride – she’d done it;
  
• Researching, and creating products & programs to share is so fun!
• I had an absolute blast on set with the fabulous crews when
  filming advertorials for Australian national television….
  …Plus seeing other Baradine Bodies Models on television looking
  fit & fabulous;

Ab King Pro advertorial for Channel Ten’s “9am with David & Kim”

What is the most challenging part?
Helping some clients believe they are worthy of achieving their goals,
when they are experiencing a plateau…
…Sooo rewarding for them and for me once they do “believe“.

What would you say to someone thinking about starting
a career in the Industry?
As with any area that interests you, if you are just thinking about it,
get more involved and see if
“just” thinking about it becomes being passionate about it.
Once you have the passion, you should “just” do it.
