My Story & Why I May Be
the Right Coach for You
I never liked sports growing up. I was that kid in physio for my back, trying to avoid PE. But in my teens, I found movement I loved, running and rock climbing, and it changed my world.
Later, thanks to an amazing PE teacher, I fell in love with fitness, and the rest just followed… swimming, cycling, tennis, I wanted to do it all.
At university, I had to return to physio when even sitting through lectures became unbearable because of back pain. That journey led me to become a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer, and eventually to specialise in Pilates and healthy spine training.
In my mid-20s, I moved across the globe, and my body turned on me. Eczema. Painful rashes. Gut issues. Exhaustion. Brain fog. Despite being healthy and active, I kept getting worse.
I saw every kind of specialist: GPs, dermatologists, gastroenterologists, immunologists... I had blood tests done, hormone panels, endoscopies, colonoscopies, allergy testing, and probably more things I can't even remember. And still, I was told I was “a picture of health.”
But I wasn’t. I was inflamed, frustrated, and exhausted.
That was the tipping point. I stopped chasing aesthetics and strict regimes and started chasing balance in my skin, digestion, energy, and mood. I dove deep into nutrition, simplified my workouts, and began rebuilding my body and health from the inside out. It got ugly. But I healed.
That’s why I created CORE.
To help other women like me who feel like everything’s falling apart—skin, gut, posture, energy, motivation. Women who’ve tried all the rules and diets and are still stuck.
Now I help women gently rebuild their bodies and health through habit-based coaching, nutrition, Pilates, and sustainable movement.
Whether it’s learning to run again, undoing years of poor posture, or figuring out what the hell to eat for skin that doesn’t itch—we do it one habit at a time.
Will it take time? Yes.
Will it take effort? Absolutely.
But after fighting through years of discomfort, confusion, and pain, I’d rather work with my body now than fight against it.
What I can help you with:
-
Managing and reducing stress
-
Improving sleep quality and energy
-
Building a healthy relationship with food
-
Anti-inflammatory nutrition for gut and skin health
-
Movement you enjoy (Pilates, running, walking & fitness)
-
Correcting posture and core strength
-
Weight loss through realistic, sustainable habits
-
Creating a lifestyle that supports you
Back pain, eczema, bloating, fluctuating weight, and a million diets.
I’ve lived through it all.
You don’t need more rules.
You need to listen to your body and build a system that works with you, not against you.
