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 have worked in the fitness industry since 2003 and have spent more than two decades helping people improve their health, fitness and quality of life. Throughout my career I have worked as a Personal Trainer, Business Coach, Mentor and Educator, supporting both clients and fitness professionals to achieve meaningful and sustainable results. My experience spans body composition, strength training, behaviour change, habit development and long-term health improvement. In addition to working directly with clients, I currently mentor and coach personal trainers across Australia, helping them develop successful and sustainable businesses within the fitness industry. I believe great coaching goes beyond exercise programs and focuses on creating practical solutions that people can maintain for life.

Wow! Over a quarter of a century in the fitness industry. I've coached a lot of stuff. Running coach, spin coach, crewing coach, circuits, lots and lots of weight training. Now primal movement for the last 14 years. Out of everything this had the most profound effect on my body. My body shape changed quickly and I quickly added lean muscle. Fast forward and we open 'Primal Moves'. 6 years we pushed this along but to no avail. Ah well! We're closed now back to the drawing board...I am looking for another space. In the meantime you can find me at MyoStrength and Performance in Plenty Road, Preston for 1 on 1 coaching and at ARC Pilates in Northcote coaching Animal Flow. I recently became a Stick Mobility Essentials Coach. Even at 58 you can learn new stuff.
