My Philosophy
What matters most to me is how physical training makes me feel internally. It’s not just about the physique—it’s about the personal growth I’ve experienced. Through training, I’ve developed self-awareness, discipline, patience, persistence, and a deeper sense of commitment. You might wonder, "How can going to the gym do that?" It's about making a choice, reinforcing the habit, and staying committed—this builds mental resilience. Over time, it strengthens discipline in work, relationships, and personal growth.
My Qualifications
While my background is rooted in the luxury fashion industry, my journey into weight training & nutrition began at a time when my mental health needed attention. I was struggling—with how I felt, how I spoke to myself, and the anxiety and lack of self-belief I experienced. Fitness became a powerful tool for me, helping me transform not only physically but also mentally. Through working with a personal trainer, I gained the guidance I needed and rebuilt my confidence.
As I worked full-time, I was balancing both careers - corporate by day, fitness in the evenings and weekends until I took the leap. From there, I worked at residential gyms and coached at F45, and now I’m pursuing a Level 4 Strength & Conditioning qualification to deepen my knowledge and help all types of athletes perform at their best.
At F45, I not only coach but also lead Hyrox classes outside the regular programming to help members prepare for their competitions. Just 11 months after joining the studio, I took part in my first Hyrox competition.
Now, I’m excited to expand my services further through both online and in-person coaching. My goal is to offer personalised fitness and training plans that Support clients in enhancing their physical health and mental wellness. Whether in the gym or remotely, I want to help people become the best version of themselves—just as fitness has helped me do the same.
My Journey Into Fitness
I didn’t grow up with a background in sports, athletics, or dance—quite the opposite, actually. I was the shy one when it came to sports, never picked last but chosen purely because I was tall enough to cover the goal. Despite playing tennis, netball, and hockey at school, I never truly felt like I belonged in the world of fitness and sports. I loved dancing, but I was told I was too tall and "big-boned" to pursue it.
It wasn’t until university—when I played for the lacrosse team, started boxing, and explored weight training—that I began to understand what training really was. Even then, my knowledge was limited. Like many women, I believed the myth that cardio was the only way to lose weight and that lifting weights would make me "bulky." When I later entered the corporate world, my fitness routine was mainly driven by group classes.
Living in central London in my 20s, bad habits started catching up with me. A week at a fitness bootcamp led me to a personal trainer, which then led me to pursue a career as a fitness coach—something I never imagined I’d be saying today.
Never did my younger self think I’d one day call myself an athlete. But here’s the thing—if you train for your physical and mental well-being, you are an athlete. If you run, even for 20 minutes a week, you are a runner. It’s all about mindset—believe in yourself, and you can become anything you want to be.
In my early 30s, I was diagnosed with PCOS, which shifted my approach to nutrition. I was already strength training, moving my body, and eating well, but I hadn’t truly tailored my lifestyle to support my condition. I believe in natural remedies and a clean diet, and with the help of a dietitian, I’ve seen a real difference.
