Background

​​​​

My background is in science.​ I studied for degrees in biology and marine biology before completing a postgraduate diploma in exercise and nutrition science.​ 

This grounding has shaped how I think.​ I look for what makes sense, what’s supported by evidence, and what holds up when it’s tested over time.​​ I’m not interested in fads, or things that only work in ideal conditions. I’m interested in what’s clear, simple, and genuinely useful.

​

Over the last decade, I’ve worked directly with women as a personal trainer and nutrition coach.​ That experience teaches something else: Life is busy, unpredictable, and often messy. Even the best laid plans won't always stick. That's where practical coaching skills come in — ​listening, empathy, understanding, compassion, adapting, simplifying.

​

It's this combination of science and real-world experience that underpins the way I work.​​

Why this matters to me

​​​​

I care about what I do because I’ve lived what I teach.​ 

For a long time, I thought the answer was pushing harder: Eating less, training more, and trying to stay in control.​ On the surface it looked like discipline, but underneath, I was struggling to keep it all together. 

Things changed when I stopped trying to force results, and learned to trust my body instead.​

Outside of Work​​​

​

For me, strength isn’t an end in itself. It allows me to make the most of everything else.​ Trail runs and long hikes across the countryside, travelling and exploring new places, and time spent with my dog.​
