I’ve always had a love of exercise, fitness and sport which led me to lead an active and varied lifestyle and inspired me to complete my degree in Leisure & Recreation Management. I've bounds of energy to lift you up and inspire you.
​
My passions
​
I have really enjoyed playing rugby and golf throughout the years and have achieved many personal fitness goals including cycling 1,000 miles in 9 days from Lands End to John o’Groats, 300 miles from London to Paris and have also run several marathons.
​
I’ve competed in triathlons, a range of Tough Mudders and assault courses and am always on the lookout for the next challenge to stretch my ability and meet new people. Most recently I completed the UK “Three Peaks” within 22 hours; and swam to the Isle of Wight.

​
It’s not about taking things away to solve your pain. It’s about recognising where you can improve and achieve your best body and health possible.
I really want you to drive you and your families to be your best.
Life is a choice.
