Bukelwa's Bio

JOMM, the acronym stands for Journey of A Million Miles. It describes the journey I undertook in transforming my life and pursuing my purpose.

 This journey of my life started when I was married, pregnant and painfully miserable. The marriage was dysfunctional and I was left emotionally and mentally traumatized.

 Food became my greatest comfort as I tried to fill the many holes in my life.  Before I knew it the scale had hit 129Kg, I was in my early 30s and my joints were starting to give in. The doctor’s words were straightforward – ‘you need to lose weight.’

 I made a decision to change, not just for my sake but for my children’s sake. My kids deserved a healthier, stronger, and happier mom. As I began to lose weight, I also started letting go of everything that no longer served my purpose.

I let go of toxic habits and I found the courage to let go of my toxic marriage. During that time, I transformed my body from 129kg to 70kg lean and strong and I restarted my life with nothing but the broken pieces of my past life and my children, who were and still are my greatest motivation. I could have never done it without my mother who was and still is my prayer warrior.

 My life inspired a career in the fitness industry. At some point, however, I soon realised that even though I had lost weight and was physically strong, my mind was stuck in the past. My mind had not transformed and I was not at peace.

At this point, JOMMs vision was born – the journey of seeking the epitome of holistic fitness. I had done the physical work successfully, now it was time to do mind and soul work so I could be in balance and find my peace.

I have found myself. I have found my calling. I am ready to serve in my purpose.

 This journey has no end, there is no destination. There is no finish line. It’s  a lifestyle for a lifetime.
