Hello and welcome

I’m Vicki Carne – also known as Sparkles and Miss Sunshine. I’m a Health Coach, a nature lover, and a passionate believer that life is meant to be lived with energy, ease, and joy.

Through Ignite Your Sparkle, I guide busy women who feel stretched thin or out of sync to reconnect with themselves and what truly matters. Together, we create simple, sustainable habits that gently elevate your wellbeing—so you can shine from the inside out.

This work comes from my own journey and experience in navigating life’s seasons—raising a family – being a wife and a mum of two (plus six teenage homestay daughters over the years), competing as a national level athlete, working part-time and studying to be a health coach, followed by running a business—this taught me just how easy it is to lose ourselves in the juggle. For years, I put everyone else first… until my body sent me a wake-up call.

Despite being active, positive, and in tune with my body, it still took time for the professionals to uncover the truth: I had with Lymphatic Cancer. That moment changed everything.

I chose to slow down, say “no” more often, and make my own wellbeing a non-negotiable. And from that decision came clarity, healing, and a new path.

I trained as a Health Coach, weaving together my Bachelor of Science degree, competitive cycling background, five years of global adventures, and a deep understanding of nutrition, movement, and mindset. Now, I support others to break free from stress, burnout, and overwhelm—helping them feel energised, strong, and in control again.

I don’t believe in perfect. I believe in real.
Because your health isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

When you prioritise your wellbeing, it creates a positive ripple effect in every area of your life. I’m here to walk alongside you with science-backed strategies, lived experience, and a compassionate, positive approach. Together, we’ll create nourishing routines that fit your lifestyle, ‘Ignite Your Sparkle’, and create space to breathe again.

You deserve to feel vibrant, confident, and free to live the life that lights you up—on your terms.

I’d be honoured to support you.

In 2018, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Lymphatic Cancer — an experience that changed everything. I’m deeply grateful to now be free of cancer, and it’s become my absolute pleasure to allow that journey to give back in a meaningful way.

Each month, I deliver complimentary wellness workshops through our local Cancer Society for patients and their support people to “Soothe Stress & Sleep Soundly”. It’s a space for connection, hope, and practical tools to support wellbeing — body, mind, and spirit.

This work feels like a full-circle moment for me — a way to honour the lessons, the healing, and the incredible people I met along the way.
