About Me

As with many of us, my journey has not been as straight forward as you may think.

As a teenager, I was always extremely self-conscious. People may have thought of me in school as ‘sporty’ or ‘athletic’ and I really felt pressure to look a certain way due to this. Despite how I looked on the outside, I found myself constantly judging myself based on my appearance. In essence I was not happy. This lead to me developing some extreme eating and exercise behaviours that many would have considered irrational. 

The majority of my lifestyle choices were based solely on what I had been reading online and my curiosity towards achieving what I believed would be the ‘perfect’ version of myself. 

It started with a vegan diet, then a raw vegan diet, then back to pescatarian, back to an omnivore diet etc.. this process was continuous. In between I experienced cycles of bingeing, under-fuelling and brutal exercise regimes that lead me to strip my weight down to a minuscule 48kg. I treated my body like a machine and forced it into exercising and restricted eating. Despite my knowledge of personal training and achieving what I thought would be ‘my best self’, I became fatigued, run down, injured and ultimately developing Secondary Amenorrhea (loss of periods from under-eating and over-exercising). 

At the age of 21, I decided to increase my intakes once again, without limiting my diet to vegetables, tofu and vegan protein.

It was later on in the year I began to move away from middle distance running and move towards competing in Body Building shows at the age of 20. Again I shredded down and continued to struggle with my relationship to both food and training, so I decided to take a year off. The one thing that I have fallen in love with is feeling stronger. Lifting weights has been an empowering process for me and I feel like wonder woman when I do so. This is a priceless feeling that I believe is the best way to build, shape and develop a healthy body, in combination with a sustainable diet. 

9 months after my final bodybuilding show in 2018, miracles started to happen. My periods came back, my strength came back and I did not give a single f*$k about how much weight was on the scale. I was ENERGISED and feeling ALIVE. 

Later on that year, I had completed my BSc in Sports, Health and Exercise Sciences and decided to give Bodybuilding 1 final shot. I endured a 25 week diet, where I pushed myself to the limit both physically and mentally. Despite achieving some great accomplishments during this time, transitioning back to a normal lifestyle without having a set goal was difficult. I coached myself into a transition phase where I eventually recovered and have been finding a balance between training and lifestyle since.

I successfully reverse dieted up to calories most women and men would be totally shocked by. I’m roughly 5’6 and eat around 2500-2700 calories a day! I eat WHAT I want, train the way I love to and have found an equilibrium that WORKS FOR ME. Most women are afraid to eat as they feel that there will be a consequence of fat gain or that food is there to be earned. This is not the case.

My role as a coach and trainer is to help my clients achieve their goals, just like I have. Being patient, kind to yourself and having continual support is what all of us need to take that leap of faith and trust that you will achieve whatever you put your mind to.

The tools and keys to success I use to help my clients succeed have been developed through meticulous reading, researching and learning.  Motivating yourself is not always easy, especially as time goes on. Therefore, I will challenge you and provide you with guidance tailored to your individual needs. There is never a 1 size fits all when it comes to fitness, so I will do my best to help you overcome the struggles and mental barriers you may have to  health and fitness.

The word ‘motivate’ is derived from the latin word ‘movere’ meaning ‘to move’. Coaching platforms are here to motivate you and keep you working towards those goals, even when all feels lost. So lets move forward together! Its time to take back control of your lifestyle and start to build the best version of yourself.
