I began my journey as a fitness instructor over 10 years ago, after years of suffering with low back pain, that eventually resulted in me having an emergency operation on my lower spine. I had also always been over weight and lacked confidence, then after having enough of working in sales and feeling unhappy with myself, I knew I wanted to do something more fulfilling with my life, help other people and be my own boss. I had started working out doing exercise classes and really enjoyed it, so I took the brave step to do a course in teaching exercise to music (aerobics) and started teaching a couple of classes a week.

I was then blessed to be introduced to Zumba® and fell in love with it, the moves and music where uplifting and the joy and benefits it gave others and myself were so rewarding. I have been teaching Zumba for over 9 years now and it is still my favorite way to get a great cardio workout. I was still suffering with low back pain and knew I needed to teach something more core and strength based I also wanted to help others who were suffering the same way I had. As a result of extensive training and teaching Pilates, along with specializing in low back pain, I have changed my body and mindset. I have become pain free and seen the same changes in hundreds of my clients.

It is the most rewarding career and I bring that passion, personal experiences and understanding of the body into every class and one to one session I teach. I love sharing my knowledge and helping others to improve their lives either through weight loss, strength, confidence or becoming pain free.
