I have been working part time in the fitness industry for over 15 years. Since my teen years I have always been into fitness and enjoyed being active. As the years go on and high intensity exercise takes its toll on the body, I decided that I am going to need other forms of exercise that are not so demanding on the joints of the body to keep me fit and healthy. I had been looking at Pilates for quite some time and in 2014 decided this is what I wanted to do for my clients - as well as keeping my own body strong. Once I started my training with Aligned for Life Pilates I couldn't believe the benefits it was having and have not looked back since. Combining both Pilates and Fitness training enables me to be able offer my clients a mix of strength, cardio and stretching workouts which are suitable for both young and older clients and offers variety so they never get bored!

I am a big believer that everyone has the ability to be the best that they possibly can be. I have experienced how hard to Health and Fitness journey can be, ( having been on that journey myself) and its very daunting for some to start training with someone. I like to encourage clients to believe in themselves and their own abilities, with them knowing I will be there with them, believing in them too. I like to see clients grow within themselves, and amaze themselves over something I knew they were capable of all along, especially if they step outside there comfort zone.

Growing up on a steady diet of old Kung-Fu and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies , it seemed inevitable that my first foray, as an adolescent, into the world of health and fitness would be through martial arts. Now my passion and experience in fitness have broadened to include boxing, weight training, hiking ,rock climbing, strength training/conditioning, sports specific training, weight loss and much much more. I was taught at an early age how important health and wellbeing was not only to your body but your mind. As a Coach I like to take a fun but educational approach to each work out. My aim is to equip you with not only the skill but the knowledge of how to reach your health and fitness goals, whether it be going the full 12 rounds or rocking a beach body, my mission is to help and guide you through your journey !
