Mick - Kudos Health Owner

Who we are

My name is Mick and I am the owner of Kudos Health.

​For over 15 years my passion has been learning as much as I can about Health, Fitness and Happiness. These three aspects of our life are often interrelated and therefore need to be addressed equally.

Before getting into the health and fitness industry I was constantly researching the human body; learning about how certain foods effect our energy levels, musculature and fat loss; reading about motivation and mindset and why some people succeed and others don’t when both given the same information and guidance; the keys to leading a happier life and the list goes on and on and on… (yep, I love to read and I love to learn!)

After completing a Bachelor of Business (marketing) and working in an office environment for a year or so I decided that sitting behind a desk wasn’t for me. I did the only logical thing and packed up my life and went to live in Vancouver with my now wife. In Canada my passion for health and fitness grew and I started reading and attending workshops on fitness, nutrition, mindset and health. Two years later we returned to our beautiful city of Newcastle and Kudos Health was born!

I started Personal Training clients one on one and in a Bootcamp setting and soon after realised that there was a big gap between people knowing what to do to become healthier, and actually taking action - this revolved around creating new habits! I then went on to study Wellness Coaching, Nutrition Psychology and Health Coaching.

I was then drawn to the mental health space both personally and professionally, and continued to be led to mindfulness and meditation as hugely beneficial tools. I studied to become a Mindfulness and Meditation teacher specialising in mental health and wellbeing. 

Then my most recent venture was born - The Mindful Men Project which is dedicated to elevating men's mental health and wellbeing.

My late Pop used to make a toast before every meal – he would say “To health and happiness”. He was clearly onto something! As the years pass by and I’ve now become a husband and father, I’ve come to realise that at the end of the day these two things are really all that matter. If you have your health and happiness and the health and happiness of your family, everything else is white noise.

I would love the opportunity to meet you, hear your story and offer my knowledge and experience to help guide you to create a healthier and happier life…

After all ~ this is MY purpose in life.
