I am a passionate and compassionate coach who genuinely cares about the well-being of the clients that I work with. I pride myself on my ability to relate and connect with a wide range of people in my role as a coach, as well as my ability to assist them in building confidence in their bodies and an enjoyment in their health and fitness journey. 

In my 10 years of working in the fitness industry, I have vast experience working with a large range of clients of different ages, genders, body types, and goals. I am extremely passionate about the benefits of strength training for all individuals, and its role in improving function, ease of movement and overall quality of life.

Since my own motherhood journey began in 2020, I have developed a deep interest in how exercise can benefit a woman's body through pregnancy, labour and postpartum recovery, and have become especially passionate about empowering women during this transformative time. 

I have started my own business, “Strong Starts” which has unique programs specific to pregnancy and postpartum. Strong Starts has led me to working with The Pelvic Studio closely, in which I have built a deeper knowledge and skill set of working alongside physios to support clients rehabilitation, prevention, and staying active safely around individual limitations.
