Contributors ELLY MCGUINNESS – THE FULL ROTATION With 12 years experience in teaching group exercise and eight years experience in personal training, Elly's enthusiasm for fitness is evident in all that she does. After working in London for four years in studio co-ordination, group exercise instruction, fitness management and personal training roles, as well as a short stint as a fitness director onboard a cruise ship, she returned home to New Zealand in 2009 to start up her own company, Natural Balance Health and Fitness. Elly incorporates her belief of striving to achieve balance in all aspects of life into her personal training, group exercise, and corporate wellness services in and around Christchurch. What makes you most proud to be a New Zealander? "I love that we punch well above our weight in so many ways – we are a relatively small country, but we aim high, take action, and achieve great things!" p.124 KELLY LYNCH – SOMETHING ABOUT ALICE Kelly's photography career began in 1998 as a forensic photographer in the NZ Police in Auckland. After photographing car crashes, crime scenes and mortuary proceedings for six years she left to concentrate on photographing some of the world's more beautiful things like wildlife and wild places. Kelly travels whenever possible in between life as a mum, wife and photographer for her own business, Footprints Photography, taking baby/children portraits, event and PR images, as well as doing reviews on the latest and greatest camera gear hitting the market. Kelly was really inspired by Alice who saw a gap in a very male dominated society, and through determination organised the 'Woman's Tour' in Papua New Guinea. JACKIE RIVE – IS ARTHRITIS AFFECTING YOUR POOCH? Jackie is a passionate business owner and mother of two teenage daughters, whom she has raised on her own since the death of her husband nine years ago. She is proud of the business lifestyle she has created that fits in perfectly with motherhood. Jackie began her animal health business, Brookby Herbs, 13 years ago and is now in the start-up phase of a new venture teaching women to create online businesses. What makes you most proud to be a New Zealander?' "To live in a country that has such a sense of freedom and ease to it. To have access to clean water, healthy food and clean streets. We are not perfect here by any means, but we come pretty close to it when you look around the world. Thank you New Zealand, I feel truly blessed to live here." p.68 What makes you most proud to be a New Zealander? "What makes me most proud to be a New Zealander is the friendliness and kindness Kiwi's offer, not only in their home towns but also when they're abroad." p.90 Quotable "The answer 'no' is like a dead end "There are strong economic drivers for cultural integration in New Zealand. Not only does diversity create value, innovation and growth it is also linked to business productivity. Moreover, there are two pressing reasons why we need to up our game welcoming other cultures to this country and making better use of new talented migrants we already have." Justin Treagus p.44 that means no one has much room to move. The answer 'no, but have you considered the X, Y or Z alternative solutions' creates the space for solution building that meets the maximum suite of interests." Sacha McMeeking p.20 "The thrill of the permanent fascinated me and so my second tattoo was based on a drawing I did myself. The only thing that was more intriguing to me than that was the thought of me putting my own designs on other people." Aimee Clark p.26 www.hermagazine.co.nz | 5
