From a young age, I have always been passionate about exercise and a fan of training, long distance running (I recently ran a half marathon) and the gym.
When I became pregnant, I felt it was important to keep strong and fit. However, I couldn’t find a trainer or class that had the expertise in pregnancy fitness that I needed. After a lot of research, I found a superb specialist based in New Zealand who offered the right sort of training for me. I wanted to be able to lift weights and carry on resistance work but had no idea how to do it safely. The programme taught me how to connect with my core in the right way, and that is where it all began…
Your core is the centre of your powerhouse. Hence being Powered from Within.
Having been a carer and teacher, I have always been passionate about helping people. After the birth of my second child, I retrained as a specialist in pregnancy and postnatal personal training. I am passionate about empowering women and supporting them with their fitness journey through all stages of life, from pregnancy through to menopause and beyond.
As women we carry a lot – both mentally and physically. Having confidence in your body brings confidence in other areas of your life too. Your body should be the one thing that you can always rely on. Investing time in looking after it allows you space to focus on you. I believe strongly in the power of strength from within, both emotionally and physically.
By supporting and guiding you to become stronger,
you can achieve your goals and become the woman you want to be.
