My Story

As someone with over 10 years of experience training clients, I understand the journey of falling in love with movement and the power of strength.

 

Growing up playing competitive sports, movement was always a part of my life. But when I went to university and stopped playing sports, my movement stopped. For years I struggled to stick to a consistent workout program and feel good in my body.

​

It wasn't until I shifted my focus from aesthetics to athleticism and strength that I truly fell in love with movement. The confidence that comes with feeling strong and capable is something that I want to share with everyone. That's why I became a trainer - to help people find their strength and get to where they want to be.​

​

If you're struggling to stay motivated or don't know where to start, I'm here to help. Let's work together to create a personalized plan that fits your unique needs and helps you feel your best. Let's find your strength together.
