About Me
This is where you probably expect me to write how I was incredibly sporty as a child and that inspired me to continue.
In fact it’s quite the opposite.
My story initially began with me not being the sporty one at school. I would walk cross country (if I couldn’t get out of it) and shied away from the sports field.
Just before uni, I realised exercise didn’t have to be the team sports I was useless at but just taking things at my own pace in the pool, gym or running along the roads. From here I had a relationship with exercise that meandered between healthy to unhealthy.
I’m not going to lie, a few years ago, when I got engaged, I suddenly freaked out and saw bridal diets everywhere and felt an immense pressure to fit into the stereotype.
However, a month before the wedding, I had my “fuck it moment”.
I was tired of trying to get to this fairytale vision of who I thought I should be. I decided it was time to just enjoy the final lead up to the wedding and focus on being me as after all, that was who Charlie (my husband) was marrying and who everyone was turning up to see.

Do you feel?
You’ve never really got the exercise thing?
You’re always trying and failing, losing inspiration and/or motivation?
You’ve now reached a turning point where you feel you need to take control of your health or body?
Maybe you're...
- recently engaged and now you’re seeing bridal diets everywhere?
- starting to try for a baby and want to make sure your body is healthy as possible to conceive?
- finally over the first trimester of your pregnancy and now you want to make sure you’re exercising safely but don’t know where to begin?
- a new mum who recently welcomed a new addition to the family and now want to feel confident in yourself again?
But I’m also guessing that you probably have at least one of the following going through your mind right now...
- “I don’t have the time as I’m so busy at work! Then I need to make sure I catch up with the girls for a drink.”
- “Every time I have a holiday I panic as I don’t feel bikini confident and then try to cram everything into 6 weeks and then crash.”
- “I don’t know what I’m doing when I’m in the gym so I end up getting bored.”
- “I won’t look good on my wedding day and the photos will be ruined”
- “I’ll feel self conscious all day as I’m not great at being the centre of attention”
- “I don’t want to feel unhealthy when i get pregnant as what if i can’t exercise?”
- “How do I exercise effectively but in a way that doesn’t harm my baby”
- “I feel so down as I’m constantly tired and want to feel myself again as I feel all over the place”
Do you want to?
- …know exactly what you’re doing the moment you step into the gym?
- …feel body confident all year round, rather than just the week you’re on holiday?
- …fly down the aisle on your big day focusing on nothing else but the person you’re going to marry?
- …feel like you’ve taken care of yourself and you’re now ready for the birth of your baby?
- …have the energy to handle motherhood and every toy, car seat and pram it throws at you?
At these turning points, we tend to suddenly lose confidence in our ability, maybe even the way we see ourselves.
By making you stronger in body, you’ll be stronger in mind.
