I was introduced to sports as a kid, when my parents enrolled me into athletics at age 9 (I’m so thankful they did that!). I trained and competed for 5 years till I was 14, and progressed from coming last in every single race, to winning the road running league cadets category in 2000 and also being the fastest 600m and 1200m cadet runner at the time. To my regret, I decided to quit athletics after those 5 years.

I quickly went from skinny, fast kid to chubby, lazy teenager. At 17 I met a man (who is now my husband ☺) and turned my life around. I lost 7kg over 9 months and integrated sports and healthy eating into my lifestyle. I’ve never looked back since. Over the years fitness and running became a huge passion of mine and I couldn’t go through a single day without a dose of exercise. Friends and colleagues had even started to approach me for some nutrition and fitness tips!

Women’s health has become a huge passion of mine as it gives me great satisfaction to be able to serve women in some of the most challenging and important phases of their lives. There’s a huge lack of education and so much misinformation on the internet and in the fitness industry with regards to pre and post natal health and fitness that I’m determined to make a difference by deeply educating women about their bodies, so that they’ll be empowered to take care of themselves while still keeping fit during these challenging phases.

To be able to further serve women I undertook two advanced courses with Burrell Eduaction:
– Advanced CPD in modern post natal assessment, core restore & functional exercise programming
– Advanced CPD in modern pregnancy functional exercise programming & birth preparation
I’m currently also in the process of completing two other certifications: Optimal Nutrition for Post Natal Recovery and Healing, and 3rd Age Women.
