My Journey

​​​​​

​

My path began in science — I earned a BSc in Biology, an MSc in Marine Biology, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Exercise and Nutrition Science — but I found my passion in helping women reconnect with their bodies.​​​ 

 

Since 2013, I've worked as a personal trainer and nutrition coach, supporting over 150 women with a grounded, realistic approach that blends evidence-based practice with compassion to deliver results that last.

​​

My Approach​​​

​​

​

I care about what I do because I've lived what I teach.​​​ I know what it’s like to strive for perfection, feel at war with your body, and not know how to break the cycle. I used to think eating less was the way to feel in control, and that exercise was just to burn calories.

 

Underneath it all, I was acting out of fear and shame.​​​ Real change came when I stopped trying to force my body into a box and learned to trust it instead.​​

Your body is not a problem to fix, and you don’t need punishment, restriction, or another one-size-fits-all plan.​​​​​ You deserve coaching that’s grounded, intelligent, and respects your body, your values, and your lifestyle. 

 

Whether you're returning to movement, rebuilding after burnout, or looking for a kinder, more realistic way to care for yourself, you're in the right place.​

Life Outside Coaching​

​​​​

​

I believe fitness is all about the energy and confidence it gives you to enjoy the things in life you love. For me, that means:

 

The strength and stamina for hikes and trail runs across the English countryside; 

​

The curiosity and courage to explore new countries and cultures; 

 

The focus and discipline to keep practicing piano; 

​

The freedom to sing at the top of my lungs when no one’s listening; 

​

And the simple joy of spending time with my dog, whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home on the sofa.
