About me 

I didn't start as a "gym person."

After high school, I struggled with depression, comfort eating, and weight gain. One day, I decided I was sick of feeling that way, so I joined a gym, got a trainer, and threw myself into it. At first, it felt amazing. But somewhere along the way, I became obsessive. I was barely eating, training for hours every single day, and losing weight fast. People complimented me. They wanted to know my secret. But I felt weak, unhappy, and honestly... ashamed.

Over time, through a lot of trial and error, research, and unlearning everything I thought I knew, I rebuilt my relationship with exercise and food. I learned how to fuel my body and give myself more balance and grace.

That experience is a big part of why I became a personal trainer — to help others cut through toxic gym culture and the pressure to shrink themselves to feel worthy.

But my journey didn't stop there.

I've since been diagnosed with PCOS, endometriosis, and a vein malformation, and I lost my thyroid to cancer. Each diagnosis completely changed how I approach exercise. I now understand firsthand that progress isn't linear, and that health doesn't look the same every day. That's why I prioritise realistic, adaptable training for myself and for every client I work with.

Because showing up imperfectly is still worth it.
