About Me - My Biography

After completing my degree in Theatre when I was 22, I came to Australia to seek my fame and fortune.  Like many other aspiring actors, I did a small amount of acting work, worked in hospitality and also worked as a children’s entertainer.

When I turned 30 I decided I needed a new focus, and so,  I went back to college and studied for my Certificate III & IV in Fitness and Personal Training, whilst also working Full Time as a Cafe Manager.

After completing my courses I made the leap into the fitness industry and started work as a mobile Personal Trainer, a spin instructor and a PT in a boutique gym.  Over a couple of years I took on a Full Time role as Gym/Personal Trainer Manager in the boutique gym, and managed recruitment, training and staff as well as continuing to train clients.

Between September 2009 and August 2019 I continued to work and manage the gym.  Within that time I competed as an individual at The CrossFit Games in America, and in 2010 and 2011 I competed with a team, I married Darren, the owner of the gym, and we had two children (starting when I turned 40!).

My views on health and fitness  and lifestyle have changed dramatically based on my continued learning, my own personal experiences as a competitive athlete, a pregnant (mature age) woman exercising, and a mother and business owner, juggling all of the family and work related issues that life throws at us. I am always tweaking and trying new things when it comes to my health and feel like a living experiment!

And, as well as my own experiences, I have worked with hundreds of clients, so have developed a deep understanding of what makes us tick when it comes to our health and wellbeing.  Through my many experiences and experiments I have developed a coaching program which I offer through my online membership, CREATE, as well as one on one coaching online, so that I can guide women as they find the right solutions for their health for the long game.

In August 2019 we sold our gym business and, after 3 months in the UK, we moved to the mid north coast of NSW so that we could slow down and spend more time with our young family.  We are passionate about reducing our impact on the environment and we are working towards living a more sustainable lifestyle.

I am passionate about all things health, and how we can take care of our bodies simply and naturally, and I am passionate about sharing my learnings to help others.
