Anne Curtis, actress, host, entrepreneur, and mother, reflects a growing focus on intentional wellness through small, consistent life choices. Her approach to health and fitness is rooted in purpose, emphasizing strength, longevity, and the ability to show up for the people she loves.
For Anne Curtis, taking care of herself and the people around her is not treated as separate priorities. Instead, it is a shared commitment reflected in daily habits, mindful movement, and meaningful moments at home. This perspective has shaped how she views fitness, family life, and long term wellness.
A Shift in Anne Curtis’ Approach to Fitness
Over time, Anne Curtis’ perspective on fitness has evolved significantly. Rather than focusing on appearance or achieving a specific body image, she now prioritizes movement that supports strength and overall well-being.
Her current lifestyle includes simple yet intentional activities such as long walks without a fixed destination or pace. These moments reflect her shift toward sustainable wellness practices that can be maintained over time.
“The moment I stopped trying to look a certain way and started moving to stay strong for the people I love, everything became easier,” Anne shared in one of her latest video collaborations with Manulife Philippines. “It’s not about the pace or the distance. It’s about showing up, both for yourself and for them.”
This mindset highlights a broader message of consistency over intensity, where wellness is not defined by extremes but by regular, meaningful effort.
Everyday Acts of Care at Home
Anne Curtis extends her philosophy of intentional living beyond fitness and into her home life. For her, care is expressed through small, thoughtful actions that strengthen family bonds.
During Mother’s Day, her daughter, Dahlia Amélie, with assistance from father Erwan Heussaff, prepared a special homemade dish for Anne. The moment featured Dahlia making her mother’s favorite tomato-and-cheese toastie in the kitchen.
The experience, shared on Manulife’s social media platforms, reflects Anne’s belief that meaningful expressions of care are often simple rather than grand. These actions are repeated over time and are rooted in attention, presence, and love.
As a Manulife customer since 2009, Anne embraces the idea that caring for oneself and family begins with small, intentional decisions made consistently each day. This reinforces her belief that wellness is built through everyday choices rather than isolated efforts.
Built around the way you MOVE
These principles are at the core of ManulifeMOVE, a holistic wellness program designed to encourage Filipinos to take small, consistent steps toward better health. The program focuses on practical lifestyle changes such as improved nutrition, regular physical activity, and greater mindfulness in daily routines.
ManulifeMOVE supports the idea that long term wellness is developed over time through sustained actions. It brings together tools, knowledge, and partnerships that help customers take a more active role in managing their health and well-being.
The program also provides access to insights on preventive care and everyday wellness. In addition, it offers exclusive and discounted services related to health, including options for diagnosis, treatment, and recovery support.
ManulifeMOVE is further strengthened by Manulife’s suite of health plans, which provide coverage for critical illness and life protection. These plans are designed to support individuals from early diagnosis through recovery, ensuring care at different stages of their health journey.
“The people who are always there for us—those are the ones we trust with everything. The big things and the small things. It’s the same reason we trust Manulife to take care of what matters most. MOVE for the people who show up for you every day,” Anne shared.
A Focus on Longevity and Sustainable Wellness
ManulifeMOVE aligns with Manulife’s broader strategy of empowering customers to improve their health, wealth, and longevity. It also supports the Manulife Longevity Institute, a global initiative focused on helping people live longer, healthier, and more financially secure lives by 2030.
Rahul Hora, President and Chief Executive Officer of Manulife Philippines, emphasized that longevity is not just about extending lifespan but improving quality of life.
“Longevity is about living more years with strength, independence, and confidence, not simply adding years to life. ManulifeMOVE supports that goal by helping customers turn small, consistent actions into lasting habits, with credible guidance and access to expert insights and partner services that make wellness more doable,” said Rahul Hora, President and Chief Executive Officer, Manulife Philippines.
He further noted that meaningful change does not require drastic action. Instead, it begins with the decision to start and the support needed to continue building healthier habits over time. Inspired by Anne Curtis as a long-time Manulife customer and influential public figure, the initiative aims to encourage more Filipinos to take active steps toward better living.
“Filipinos don’t have to change everything overnight to start investing in their health and future. What matters is choosing to start and having the support to keep going. And inspired by Anne Curtis’ journey as a Manulife customer and a trusted and influential voice to many Filipinos, we want more people to feel empowered to live better, for longer,” added Hora.
Empowering Everyday Health Choices
The message behind ManulifeMOVE and Anne Curtis’ personal wellness journey is centered on one key idea: consistency. Small actions, when practiced regularly, can lead to meaningful and lasting change in both health and lifestyle.
Through movement, mindful habits, and intentional care for loved ones, the program reinforces the importance of showing up daily for oneself and others. It positions wellness not as a short term goal but as a continuous commitment supported by guidance, tools, and protection.
