In 2003 I became a qualified personal trainer/gym instructor. I have never looked back. It has been my passion since to help change people’s lives by helping them get out of pain, get fitter and stronger, be happy with themselves, improve relationships and the list goes on. I love my work, especially when a client puts their complete trust in my training and experience. The results just happen!
Exercise was always my stress release from work and from kids, even now! It has kept me sane and healthy. I very rarely get sick and I today I remain the same weight that I was at 17 years. I am walking proof that exercise and proper nutrition do work.
Our family decided to re-locate to Coffs Harbour in 2005. I started up Coastal Health & Fitness and worked as mobile/outdoor personal trainer and ran classes from a local community hall in Toormina. In 2006 my business became ‘Coastal Pilates & Fitness’ once I completed my Pilates Matwork training. In 2008 I completed the remainder of my training to operate my own studio and teach Pilates studio/machine based sessions.
