Background

​​​​

My background is in science.​ I studied 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, useful, and actually applicable.

​

Over the last decade, I’ve worked directly with women as a personal trainer and nutrition coach.​ That experience teaches something else: Plans don’t always fit, and life is full, unpredictable, and often messy.

​

That's where practical coaching skills matter — ​listening, understanding, knowing when to adapt and simplify.

​

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, it couldn’t hold. 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 everything else.​ Trail runs and long hikes across the countryside, travelling and exploring new places, and time spent with my dog.

​

Nothing extreme. Just a life that feels supported.
