The Healthy Mummy Story

Hi everyone! I am the founder of Zing Wellbeing but I am also the founder of The Healthy Mummy which I founded in 2010.

I sold The Healthy Mummy business back in 2022 and am no longer connected to it but I spent 12 years of my life 100% dedicated and committed to the brand and the customers and am so grateful for the support I have always been shown and I hope all the customers past and present know how much I LOVE them and all of their support.

But, The Healthy Mummy has changed a lot since I ran it and owned it and it is now owned by a Company called Mosh.

Mosh is predominantly a men's health business created by two guys called David and Gabriel (who are the current owners). Mosh started out selling men's hair loss medical treatments, then went in men's sexual health and then went into weight loss medications (which is everywhere right now with the launch of Ozempic!).

It then recently (2023) decided to start to operate in the female medical weight loss area, under the name Moshy, and went onto to buy The Healthy Mummy.

Mosh bought The Healthy Mummy from a company called Halo (who I had sold it to) and they are now the owners of the business - so this is why you will see promotion around medical weight loss with The Healthy Mummy now.

When I heard that Mosh did buy The Healthy Mummy in August 2023, I reached out to them as I was so hopeful that they would make it amazing again and I wanted to help them to do it. And I did help for a few months but then I soon realised I was not aligned to their business goals and values and that I had to let go of The Healthy Mummy business I had loved and built and it was time to move on as it was never going to be the same - but I wish the Mosh team the best of luck and I hope the brand lives for a long time and that the customers are served well as I love the brand so much!

Zing Wellbeing

But although I have moved on and founded a holistic health and wellness company called Zing Wellbeing (which is not a weight loss company) I wanted to share my Healthy Mummy story as I always have lots of people ask me about it and I loved building the business over 12 years and creating a huge community of mums.

P.S as part of Zing Wellbeing I am focusing 100% on the customer, content and community and you can join our pretty amazing women only community here with over 16,000 women in! 

And you can see our pretty AWESOME Zing Wellbeing program here which is getting 5 star reviews from 1000's of women who have joined.

And I am also investing in Australian made women's health products and we have just launched our organic and dairy free protein powder which is AMAZING!!

The Healthy Mummy story

I started The Healthy Mummy in 2010 when I was pregnant and sold my house to launch it.

I took a HUGE risk to do it and from 2010 to 2017 it was extremely hard yards.

We rented apartments and houses (and my first baby was born in 2010 and my next in 2012) and each year we moved as our rental booted us our because the landlord needed to sell (it was so bad luck!), and I invested all the money we made over that time back into the business so it could grow and so we could give customers what they wanted.

But reinvesting all the money back in meant my family had no saved money and it was pretty stressful - and the bigger the business got the more money was needed to run it (staff, apps, products, working capital etc).

We created so much GOODNESS with The Healthy Mummy - over 1.5 million mums were part of the community and it felt amazing to offer a natural, supportive and community focused way to help women lose weight.

I have always been so customer focused and we did SOOOOO much around the customer and spent so much on shoots, content, customers and making sure the business was AWESOME!

I have so many amazing memories of what we all created and did!

Then in 2017 a private equity firm said they wanted to invest. And although I was super nervous about this - selling half to a private equity firm meant we could buy a house and my family could have financial security after a rollercoaster 7 years and lots of risk.

So I did it.

As soon as I did it I regretted it as things changed straight away with a private equity firm owning half of it.

It was stressful and full on and I no longer was the sole decision maker of the business and it changed the course of The Healthy Mummy business for me.

Then in 2022 the business was sold to another company called Halo and then Halo had a tough time and the business was sold again to a business called Mosh (who now own it).

 

 

I don't really want to talk about this time but I will say it was extremely stressful and in 2022 I walked away from a business, staff, customers and a brand I loved  so much which was extremely hard but I did it for my mental wellbeing and I chose my own and my family's mental wellbeing over money.

But now it has been over 2 1/2 years and I have been away from the health space and starting my private support group has reignited my LOVE for this space and what I am passionate about - health and wellbeing for women and all the amazing feedback has given me the courage to start again. (And I cannot tell you how grateful I am for that support as it is a bit scary to be starting everything from scratch).

I have had people ask if Zing Wellbeing is another The Healthy Mummy so I wanted to talk about this.

The Healthy Mummy is a weight loss company for mums and Zing Wellbeing is not a weight loss company and is instead a health and wellbeing platform for all women.

I am deeply passionate about women's health, food and wellness and I have to follow my passion and do what I love - and this is what I love - and this is what Zing Wellbeing is.

I love helping other women. I love health and I love a broader approach to health and wellbeing.

So Zing Wellbeing is not a weight loss company.

The Healthy Mummy is very much weight loss and with Mosh now owning The Healthy Mummy they even have a bigger weight loss focus as Mosh also offer weight loss medication - so if you want a weight loss platform and/or medical weight loss then you can check out The Healthy Mummy or see the countless other weight loss programs out there - there are a lot!

What is Zing Wellbeing about

Zing Wellbeing is ALL about health and wellbeing and about putting community, support and the customer as number 1.

It is about nourishing your body and soul.

It is about feeling good about yourself.

It is about getting the most out of food, fitness and mental wellbeing WITHOUT focusing on weight loss or the scales.

It is about seeing food as medicine and fuel to live a healthier life.

It is about learning about how important the gut is and making recipes to nourish the gut.

It is about feeling energised and full of vitality.

It is about having a platform for women's health

It is about creating content and community for women and women's health issues - from food, fitness, hormones, menopause and mental health.

It is about learning to deal with issues surrounding mental wellbeing and the hugely negative effect anxiety and stress can have on us (I speak from experience).

It is NOT about weight loss programs.

It is about health, wellness, education, support and longevity

Will it have meal plans? YES.

Will it have exercises? YES

Will it have support, programs, experts on hand and inspiration? YES

Will it have weight loss tools and weight loss focuses? NO, not at all.

And over time it will also evolve and adapt to what you need and want.

And I am also LOVING that I am now working with so many other women again who are helping me to create something pretty different and special for other women to help them feel good and be in their best health possible.
