About Me
I was a very active child and teen. I spent six winters and two summers in the French and Swiss Alps — climbing mountains in the summer, skiing and snowboarding down them in the winter. I was a chalet girl who met her dream chalet boy, and my early love of the outdoors has shaped everything about how I coach.
I’m a firm believer that if we want to enjoy this life, we need to stay active. And if we want to stay active, we need to stay strong. Getting outside is good for our mental health as much as our physical health. My motto is simple: “If we want to have fun for longer, we need to get stronger.”
My Mission
I came to strength training later in life, and it was my daughter who led me to it. She needed carrying and manoeuvring every day, and a weak body wasn’t going to help me. To look after her, I needed to look after myself. She passed away in September 2023, and her impact on my life is profound. We have no idea how long we’re here for — so we need to maximise the time we do have.
Today, I’m a mum of two crazy boys who keep me on my toes, and I’m doing my best to be a strong role model for them too.
I qualified as a Level 3 Personal Trainer in 2022 and haven’t looked back. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of women change their lives for the better.
My clients describe me as “understanding, but willing to push you beyond your comfort zone.”
I’ve coached jockeys, brides‑to‑be, menopausal and perimenopausal women, and grandparents. Strength belongs to everyone — and I’m here to help you find yours.
