About Me - My Biography

I’ve not always been a health and fitness enthusiast, this came to me later in my life, much later in fact, in my 40’s.  But after a bit of socio-analysing over the years, I’ve discovered that I was affected by the health concerns that my grandparents went through and now my mum is suffering from the same preventable health diseases. The impact was so strong that it has influenced so many life decisions, like when I left my high paying corporate career to start Strong Healthy Women.

I felt so passionate that I could make a difference to the ageing woman, that here we are today. I am Cleveland Clinic Certified in Exercise Prescription, Nutrition and Mindset Management, as well as a Certificate IV Personal Trainer with a variety of industry related qualifications and an extensive list of certifications in other industries.  Learning is another passion of mine.

My life as a Fitness and Lifestyle professional started after a health issue of my own, menopause hit me like a tonne of bricks and I felt like a walking zombie.  I told myself I wasn’t going to be that woman who had the menopause belly and put on those extra kilos, but I was.  My beloved walking wasn’t enough, I discovered strength training and a new way of eating and embraced being an “ageing” woman.  I created FITFlex, FastFIT, Ageless Confidence and Fuelled Up for women just like me. 

What I’ve learnt during this journey is how confidence in “who we are” plays such a big part in embracing all we can be. I’ve taken up skiing, hiking, rock scrambling, bike riding, swimming and am prepared to try most things, because this is my life to live and love. 

I’m on a mission to spread the word that age is not a barrier to being confident, healthy, fit and relevant because it’s never too late to share your life’s experiences with others.  Each day I ask myself this question “what have you done today, to add a little Sparkle and Shine into today and your tomorrow”.

My Interests

I love the outdoors, I live on a farm and the smell of horse stables ignite my senses.  To me there is nothing better than mucking out the stables whilst watching the sunrise.  Spending time with my love and my family is one of my favourite things to do on a Sunday.  I love to read, hike, walk, run, exercise and anything that is active. I have recently rekindled my love of cooking and learning.  I have a passion for renovations, design and real estate.

Why I Became a HerBusiness Member

I was sitting at my desk struggling with what to do next in my business and “do you need a business mentor” free webinar came into my news feed and as they say the rest is history.  I definitely needed a mentor to hold me accountable and very quickly realised that I don’t know what I don’t know and joined HerBusiness.  I enjoy the podcasts and webinars and haven’t even scratched the surface.  I continue to come back to a quote that I heard from Suzi “get comfortable being uncomfortable”.  I love the support from other like-minded business owners.
