Health is a gift
Yvonne’s approach to healthy ageing
Yvonne believes health is the foundation that allows us to live fully, explore freely, and stay connected to the people and passions we love.
For her, regular workouts at ACH Group’s Health Studio Rostrevor have become an essential part of staying strong, purposeful, and joyful. “The routine has had a positive impact on my overall health,” she says.
This commitment keeps her hiking the trails of Morialta National Park, playing badminton at Burragah Badminton Club, and embracing life with optimism.
As a special guest at Health Studio Rostrevor’s first anniversary celebration, Yvonne reflected on what healthy ageing can look like when movement is paired with meaning.
Her approach is shaped by a rich life lived across South Africa, the United States, Costa Rica, and now Adelaide, where she is both an accomplished photographer and a long-time resident of one of ACH Group’s retirement villages.
Through her lens – literal and metaphorical – Yvonne sees the world with gratitude, curiosity, and a belief that good health opens doors to possibility.
Yvonne’s five tips for staying active
1. Find something you are passionate about and invest time in it.
- Purpose fuels wellbeing.
2. Join a group who enjoys some form of common exercise.
- Connection builds motivation – and friendships.
3. Good health is a gift – embrace it!
- Treat it with care and intention.
4. Cultivate gratitude, even in the midst of challenges.
- A thankful mindset strengthens resilience.
5. Explore new things.
- Curiosity keeps the mind and body active.
For Yvonne, staying healthy isn’t about performance – it’s about honouring the gift of wellbeing and choosing to live each day with energy, gratitude, and a spirit of exploration.
This reminds us that investing in our health is one of the most powerful choices we can make at any age.
