Transforming Life Through Health, Mindset, and Bazi Astrology: Insights from Davinia Meades

Who is Davinia Meades?

Davinia Meades is a dynamic and highly qualified coach and personal trainer with over 25 years of experience empowering women to transform their health, mindset, and overall well-being. Her journey into the world of fitness and personal development started from a place of personal struggle—having once been unhappy with her body and lifestyle, she embarked on a transformational journey that ultimately led her to help others do the same.

Davinia is known for her holistic approach, blending physical training, nutrition, mindset coaching, and, more recently, Bazi Chinese Astrology, a unique system that helps clients gain deeper self-awareness and navigate life’s challenges. Her mission is simple: to help people love life, take control of their health, and step into their full potential. In this conversation, we explore her journey, the power of mindset, and how she integrates traditional coaching with ancient wisdom to create lasting transformation.

Davinia’s Journey to Health & Empowerment

Davinia’s journey didn’t begin in a gym or with a passion for fitness—it started with a simple desire to feel better in her own skin. As a teenager, she struggled with self-image and unhealthy eating habits, growing up in a household where nutrition wasn’t a priority. A pivotal moment came when she was 15, when a comment from her father about her weight planted the seed for change. However, it wasn’t until university, when she found herself wanting to impress someone she admired, that she truly committed to a healthier lifestyle.

At first, exercise was a means to an end—she thought being more athletic would make her more attractive. But as she started moving her body, she fell in love with how it made her feel. What started as a bid to gain external validation became an internal transformation. This shift led her to become a personal trainer, and later, a life coach, blending physical and mental fitness into her practice.

Her philosophy? True transformation is never just about the reps in the gym—it’s about the mindset that drives the action.

The Non-Negotiables of Health & Well-Being

After working with clients for more than two decades, Davinia has seen trends come and go, but a few principles have remained non-negotiable when it comes to achieving lasting results:

1. Mindset is the foundation – Without the right mindset, no amount of exercise or dieting will lead to lasting change. Belief in oneself and an internal drive for change are key.
2. Movement every day – Whether it’s a structured workout, a quick rebound session on a mini-trampoline, or even just a brisk walk, daily movement is essential for longevity and mental well-being.
3. 80/20 Approach to Nutrition – Davinia preaches balance over perfection. She advocates for an 80/20 approach, where 80% of the time, you nourish your body with whole, nutrient-dense foods, and 20% of the time, you allow for flexibility and enjoyment.
4. Protein is key, especially for women over 40 – Through her own experiences and coaching, she’s found that increasing protein intake can be a game-changer, particularly for women navigating hormonal shifts.
5. Daily affirmations & gratitude – A firm believer in the power of words, Davinia starts her day with positive affirmations, movement, and gratitude journaling to set the tone for success.

These core principles have helped Davinia not only transform her own health but also empower hundreds of clients to feel stronger, happier, and more confident in their daily lives.

The Power of Juicing: A Game-Changer for Energy & Health

One of the practices Davinia is most passionate about is juicing—a habit she originally adopted for weight loss but later embraced for its incredible benefits in reducing inflammation, boosting energy, and supporting cellular health.

Juicing allows you to flood your body with micronutrients in a way that would be impossible through regular meals. A daily green juice loaded with cucumber, celery, spinach, kale, ginger, and pear has become a non-negotiable part of her routine, helping her maintain high energy levels and mental clarity.

For those looking to start, Davinia recommends juicing as a supplement rather than a replacement for meals, ensuring that you still get enough fiber and protein in your diet. And for those struggling with low energy, brain fog, or bloating—a short 3-day juice cleanse can be a powerful reset.

Overcoming Life’s Challenges: From Divorce to Resilience

Like many of the women she coaches, Davinia has faced significant life challenges, including a divorce that tested her emotionally and mentally. At her lowest point, she found herself stuck in a victim mindset, feeling overwhelmed by circumstances beyond her control.

It was during this time that she sought coaching with me, and I helped her shift her perspective and regain her personal power. Through our work together, she learned that:

• Challenges happen FOR us, not TO us – Every hardship contains an opportunity for growth if we choose to look for it.
• Perspective is everything – The way we frame a situation determines how we experience it.
• We are always in control of our response – No matter what happens, we can always choose how we react.

This experience deeply shaped how Davinia now coaches women navigating breakups, personal struggles, and self-doubt, helping them find strength, reframe their circumstances, and move forward with confidence.

Bazi Chinese Astrology: An Unexpected Tool for Self-Discovery

One of the most fascinating aspects of Davinia’s coaching approach is her integration of Bazi Chinese Astrology—a system that uses birth data to uncover personality traits, relationship dynamics, career potential, and even health susceptibilities.

Initially skeptical, Davinia discovered Bazi Astrology in 2018 and was blown away by its accuracy. It helped her understand deep-seated patterns in her life, including relationship cycles, career shifts, and health challenges, which were all mapped in her chart.

Now, she uses Bazi readings to help clients gain clarity on their strengths, struggles, and the best timing for major life decisions. Whether it’s career alignment, relationship insights, or understanding health tendencies, Bazi provides an additional layer of self-awareness that allows clients to navigate life with more confidence and ease.

For those curious about how their own Bazi chart can provide insight into their life path, Davinia offers personalised consultations to decode the wisdom of their birth data.

Loving Life & Living Fully

At the heart of everything Davinia does is a simple mission: to help people LOVE LIFE. Whether it’s through fitness, mindset coaching, juicing, or astrology, she believes that happiness isn’t just something that happens—it’s something we actively create.

Her top tips for loving life more:

✔ Practice gratitude daily – Shift your focus to what’s going well, and you’ll start to see more of it.
