I am a certified personal trainer and yoga instructor with extensive knowledge in the fields of nutrition, movement, fasting, cold immersion therapy and contending with chronic pain, autoimmune disorders and mental health challenges. I have also been a national level athlete and have a comprehensive repertoire in fitness and training regimes.

 

I have been working with the challenges of Ankylosing Spondylitis, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, chronic pain and mental health for 35 plus years.  Eight years ago, after struggling most of my life with debilitating symptoms, it got to the point I could not get out of bed and was in constant physical and emotional pain.  Though it has been my greatest challenge it has also been my greatest teacher.

In order to improve and optimize my health, I've researched and practiced just about every physical and spiritual therapy I could find. As such I have experience with a multitude of strategies to maximize the potential of body and mind.  I have used these and more to light a spark, to manage and to overcome.  

 

Today I am a world away from being stuck in bed.  Today I am much stronger, more capable and resilient.  Today I am hopeful.  
Whether you want to take yourself to another level of wellness and fitness, simply want to feel calmer, or are struggling with a chronic condition, I can help.

​

With your input, I shape a program that will help carry you forward into greater health, wellness and happiness. I am present and accessible so I can guide and support an informed and fluid evolution of your personal goals. I am not a post or an app. I am genuine, personal help to achieve your best possible self.

 

Maybe it's consistent coaching to address personal challenges. Maybe it's personal training to find greater strength, flexibility or freedom of movement. Maybe it is a complete, integrated, in-home lifestyle makeover.  We can start small and build up step by step or establish a comprehensive plan from the outset.

​

You may choose one service or choose all services.  Whatever feels best for you, beginning from the place you are at, and evolving as needed.  I want to help you find your own way, give you what you need to continue with independence and agency over your own health - all while also understanding the struggles you may face, and help you find the space to move through these challenges.  

​

We can do this in-person or via video chat, over the phone, WhatsApp, or even email.  Working one-on-one, or in small groups, I can provide nutrition guidelines, meal plans and shopping lists, meditations and breath work, movement or exercise routines, suggest helpful equipment and possible adjunct therapies, set up your home or even your own medicinal garden, give support or just talk. For some clients, I travel and assist in their homes, providing hands-on guidance - making it as easy as possible to get started on optimizing their health.

​

I am a specialist from training but I'm also a specialist from experience.  Let me use this expertise to help you find your way - streamline the process - save time, reduce overall costs and find the strategies that work for you.

​

Whatever your level of health, ability, or finances, get in touch and let's see what we can do.
