I completed my Personal Training Qualifications with OriGym and recently undertook my  GP Referral Course assessment. I am currently studying my obesity and diabetes course. Since graduating, I have collaborated with a number of gyms and brought my services and expertise to these spaces. It is wonderful being a part of a person’s fitness journey and watching them grow with my guidance.”

    “Leaving behind my 9-5 corporate job was a scary decision, but deep down, I always knew I wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives. Helping others feel healthier, happier and more confident has always been my goal and I’m so excited to be able to pursue it full-time! Fitness isn’t just a hobby for me; it’s my passion. I can’t wait to start this journey; helping people make a positive change. I know from my own experience how much of an impact exercise can have on your physical and mental health, and so I have plans to start my own 1-to-1 coaching business, offering classes and building a community so that others can experience this too.”
