I’ve never been ‘overweight’ or ‘unfit’ as I was always active from a young age playing sports such as touch footy, netball, tae kwon do and athletics.
But growing up I began to struggle with self image, I became obsessed with the fitness craze but focused mostly on the aesthetics. I was skinny, weak and not fuelling my body with the right foods for energy. I began to struggle to find a healthy balance between fitness, food, my lifestyle and relationships. I went to the extreme of being so strict and restrictive, eventually I would ‘binge’ and always ended up feeling confused and out of control. I used to think that cardio and cutting calories was the answer to reaching a lean, toned physique. Boy was I wrong. I felt weak and limited to the things I should be doing/eating and even felt guilty if I ate something deemed ‘bad’ or not ‘clean’. One day I got fed up with feeling stuck in this cycle, and decided to get educated on exercise and nutrition and have never looked back!
This industry has changed me in so many ways. I couldn't be more proud of the person I have become today. Learning the somewhat simple tricks of the trade to being a happier healthier person will not only prolong your life but will also teach you how to get the most out of it.
My dream has always been to have a positive impact on someone else's life by helping them discover their true potential and live life to the absolute fullest. There is nothing I find more rewarding than seeing happiness in someone, developed by transforming themselves into a better person. Health and Fitness is an extremely important part of my life with the belief that we all deserve to live for as long as possible whilst enjoying what the world has to offer.
Last year is where I wanted to test myself and set a challenge. I have always wanted to compete in bodybuilding, attending fitness shows and watching them that is when I decided to give it a go myself.
I hired a coach who educated me on various exercise and nutrition myths, until finally I started to see some changes; my mentality ultimately shifted eating way more food and loosing weight.
I competed in three shows 2018, 20 weeks of prep that required hard work and dedication.
I competed as a Fitness Model/Sports Model in ICN in two shows. The first was a Melbourne show – ICN Victoria Classic 2018. The second show I competed in was the ICN Australian National Titles in Melbourne, Australia where I placed 2x 1st, 1x 3rd and 1x 5th
Doing the comp has made me more determined to help and educate my clients to achieve those results.
Combining my passion for exercise with education it lead me to fall in love with this industry and wanting to help others understand and take control of their bodies and lives. I see too many women struggling to feel good in their own skin, with so much contradictory information, diets and health fads in the industry it leaves so much room for confusion, self doubt and for people to become overwhelmed.
I aim to help each and every one of my clients to find their healthy balance and get them to reach their goals, not by just giving a standard meal plan and leave them to do the guessing but by educating them to better understand their bodies and how to reach their goals WITHOUT unmaintainable crash diets and health fads.
I believe knowledge is power and there is nothing more important than understanding how your body works and what works best for YOU! Let me help you find your healthy balance and live a healthier and happier life.
