I grew up hating exercise. I wanted to change my body but I didn't know how. I've fallen for every fad diet in the book and none of them got me any closer to the balance and confidence I wanted.

Now I am an online coach and nutritionist. I help clients achieve a huge range of goals, while prioritising their health both physically and mentally. I am also a competitive bodybuilder and while I have a passion for the unnecessary intricacies of bodybuilding, I am perhaps more passionate about lifestyle coaching.

My favourite things to teach are:
How to enjoy exercise
The purpose of movements
How to enjoy a healthy balance
How to create a mindset that seeks healthy balanced behaviours.

We've all heard that losing weight is about creating a calorie deficit. But it's not as easy as it sounds. Anyone who tells you that it is, does not successfully teach these things.

Most of us have grown up in an environment of plenty. Surrounded by food, marketing and the influence of others. To change your lifestyle requires conscious effort and, usually, guidance. If you can give me the effort then I can guide you to where you want to be.
