About Me

Side-by-side weight loss transformation of a man smiling in casual clothes.

Not long ago, I felt exhausted, self-conscious, and dedicated my all to a job that was demanding everything in return. The weight crept up, my confidence plummeted, and somewhere along the way, I lost touch with who I truly was.


Then one day, fresh out of another failed relationship and tired of waiting for the perfect moment, I decided to take charge of my life. I joined a local gym, revamped my nutrition, and put in the hard work. Thirty kilos lighter and with energy and confidence I hadn't experienced in years, I realized I wanted to help others find that same pivotal moment.


For over five years, I've been coaching in New Zealand and now in the UK, focusing specifically on women over 40. As an at home personal trainer in Essex, I understand how crucial it is to provide the right support at this stage of life. Watching my own mother approach 60 without ever strength training and the health issues that ensued made this mission personal for me. I am committed to each session because I know what’s at stake.


This isn’t just generic fitness coaching; it’s personal training for women over 40 from someone who has lived it and genuinely cares about your journey. Through my online strength coaching for women, as well as small group fitness classes in Berden, I strive to empower women to reclaim their strength and confidence. I am based in Saffron Walden and passionate about helping women transform their lives.

The Steady Build

The Steady Build is 16 weeks of online 1:1 coaching, built for women over 40 whose lives don't run to a perfect schedule.

It isn't a transformation programme. It's training, food and habits you can hold onto when work goes sideways, someone gets ill, or the week falls apart. 


I only take a small number of 1:1 clients at a time. Fill in an application form below and, if it looks like a good fit I will get back to you within 24-48 hours.
