About me

Brief story, qualifications and fun facts!

I am passionate about helping you to raise your self – awareness so that you can make your own adjustments towards achieving the life you choose. I believe in making small incremental changes in order to help you to achieve your aspirations.

Our working relationship is key to your success and I welcome you to raise any questions you may have before we embark on our sessions together.

I have always had a passion for health and fitness. I have a degree in Sport and Fitness Science and worked within the leisure industry for many years, working in numerous fitness and management roles. After leaving to travel the world I returned and set up my own business as a painter and decorator. I went from managing a team of seventy to working on my own, a vastly different role but I loved it. 

Ultimately I enjoy helping others and making a difference. I do a lot of fundraising and charity work. I also work as a life coach at a secondary school and work with teenagers through a company called Forever Young People.

I continue to keep fit and enjoy the pressures of juggling family life, work and everything life throws at me, seizing opportunities whenever I can. I am a firm believer that 'nothing is impossible' and would love the opportunity to work with you to help you realise your potential and achieve your aspirations.

Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions at all, I'm here to help.
