Rachael Finch is a beauty pageant titleholder, she won People’s Choice Award’ 2006 Miss Teen Australia, Miss Universe Australia 2009 and the third runner-up in Miss Universe 2009 pageant is in conversation with Namita Nayyar President Women Fitness
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You being crowned Miss Universe Australia 2009 on 22 April 2009 propelled your professional career to the height where you have been at the top of the world of glamour. Tell us something about this fairy tale journey?
Ms. Rachael Finch:
I can’t begin to explain how much I love what I do. I get to travel, work with creative and talented people, inject ideas into my work and get the opportunity to make a positive influence. I love fashion, food and all things relating to health and I’m surrounded by these each day. Winning the Miss Universe Australia competition has not only opened doors to being able to work in these areas but given me the opportunity to meet my husband and daughter Violet!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You are world leading media personality, TV star, glamour model, style icon, spokesperson and a brand ambassador. How you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Ms. Rachael Finch:
Staying healthy both mentally and physically is my number one priority. When life gets busy I like being in the best shape I can to work at 100%. I’m a true believer in looking after yourself first and then others. I love the variety in my work – each role has a hand in the other and all challenge me in exciting ways.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?
Ms. Rachael Finch:
I love to change my style of training every day so my body doesn’t get used to one thing. I enjoy power walking, dance, swimming, pilates, yoga and other floor work. Right now I’m actually in training to compete in a professional ballroom dancing competition so I’m in the studio 4-5 days a week for a couple of hours in between work and taking care of Violet. I compete in August and I’m excited for the challenge! Staying active plays a huge part not only on my physical well-being but mental also. Nothing beats outdoor work with fresh air and vitamin D.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Rachael Finch:
I enjoy eating healthy, well-balanced meals on a day to day basis with the occasional treat (I love chocolate!) I don’t believe in ‘dieting’ and I think bio-individuality is extremely important – one person’s food is another person’s poison. I eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruit, whole grains, fish, nuts and seeds and organic whenever possible. I always listen to my body and ensure I’m getting lots of variety. I also try to avoid any processed food and limit my sugar intake.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hairs. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hairs to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Rachael Finch:
Thank you! I believe great skin and hair starts from within. When I drink lots of fresh water, eat healthily, sleep well and meditate I find my hair, skin and nails are at their best. I cleanse and moisturise morning and night and get a beautiful treatment in my hair after a colour. My skin and hair regime is on my blog www.rachaelfinch.com. I believe pampering ourselves regularly is a part of a healthy lifestyle.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You gave birth to your daughter in September 2013 and had exceptional post pregnancy recovery to appear in awesome abs and toned body. Share your secret to such a remarkable achievement?
Ms. Rachael Finch:
For me pregnancy was a time, more than ever, to focus on my health and well-being. I stretched every day, did lots of swimming, ate fresh food and got regular massage treatments. After Violet was born I gave my body time to recover than slowly got back into training. Being aware of my core day-to-day was priority, even walking around the house I would focus on keeping it engaged to build strength. I do physical activities that I love which makes it fun.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding fashion model girls who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to ladder of success in the field of modelling?
Ms. Rachael Finch:
Never give up on the road to achieving your goals and dreams. My advice is to soak up every second of the journey along the way because time flies by so fast! I won the Miss Universe competition in 2009, although I entered in 2008 and didn’t place anywhere. I was determined to get a better result so tried again the next year. Research and prepare before every job.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have done bold photo shoots. How you are so body confident and advice to your compatriots?
Ms. Rachael Finch:
For me confidence comes from feeling and being healthy. When I take care of my body and treat it with respect I feel beautiful on the outside. After having a baby I have even more respect for my body and treasure what it does for me. Every one is built differently and we should love what we’ve been given.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have been associated with a number of charities which are all dear to your heart, tell us how you have been able to achieve and quench your thirst of giving back to the society through this endeavor of your?
Ms. Rachael Finch:
I think giving to others is one of the best feelings we can experience as humans. Supporting charities that are close to my heart is a very special part to my job and I do it when I can although there is much more time I’d love to give in the future. Starting a foundation to help children in need is something I can see myself doing.
Women Fitness Team thanks Rachael Finch for giving her valuable time for this interview and quenching the thirst of her fans to know more about her and shall also like to thank David Malina, Director of Client Management, IMG who made this interview happen.
