  • Coach

    With 13 years in the fitness industry, my journey has been shaped by a deep passion for movement and strength. Starting with a background in dance and Pilates, I naturally transitioned into personal training, where I found my true calling—helping others build strong, capable bodies.

    In 2016, I stepped into the world of powerlifting and have since had the incredible opportunity to compete in events across Australia. Through my own training and competition experience, I’ve gained a deep understanding of strength training and the power of consistent effort.

    My goal as a coach is to help clients build a body they’re proud of—one that’s strong, resilient, and allows them to perform at their best, both inside and outside the gym.

    Career highlights include;

    — Cert 3 Group Fitness

    — Cert 4 Personal Training

    — Cert 4 Mat & Reformer Pilates

    — Mach Methods Seminar
