About me
Growing up I always loved the outdoors and being active. I always loved sports at school, but found P.E. lessons intimidating so never pushed to be on any sports teams . However as I got older I became more confident in following my passion, I loved Human Biology and developed an interest in Physiotherapy, so studied Sport and Exercise Science at University. Once I finished my degree I decided to not rush into my career but to take a break and learn to be a Snowboard Instructor in Canada. I loved teaching people a sport I was passionate about and my most rewarding days would be when a client would go from being terrified, not believing this sport was for them, to linking turns and having the best day of their lives. This was the start of finding my true love, building the confidence in people to love their bodies and learn to look after it so they can enjoy life to the fullest!
After 3yrs in Canada I returned to the UK and trained as a Personal Trainer. I soon realised that whilst I had found the job I was made to do, I missed the mountains and so embarked on my next adventure, moving to New Zealand. I am now proudly a New Zealand resident and have worked with clients for 5yrs building up their confidence, and their strength and teaching them that health isn’t just about the physical healthy, the mental health and self love is equally important.
My journey to have this belief hasn’t been easy, I have very much struggled with the consuming thoughts that my self-worth was based on my appearance. I have crash dieted, and suffered from eating disorders, very much believing I would be happier when I weighed X amount, or fitted into X dress size. It took me the hard way to discover that true happiness comes from within. I now want to support as many people as I can find this within themselves!
I will work with you to help find your true ‘Why’, and look at the whole picture of your life so you can find, not just sustainable results, but your happiness with who you are and what you can achieve.
