My Story
I didn't start
strong. I started
broken.
This is the real version. No highlight reel, no "I always loved fitness" fairytale. Just the truth about how I became the coach I needed when I was at my lowest.
My Story
This is the real version. No highlight reel, no "I always loved fitness" fairytale. Just the truth about how I became the coach I needed when I was at my lowest.
I grew up hating my body. Not in the casual "ugh, I wish I was thinner" way that everyone seems to normalise. I mean deep, corrosive shame. The kind that makes you layer up in clothes even when it's 30 degrees because you'd rather sweat than be seen.
I didn't see myself as someone who could be strong. I saw someone who needed to take up less space. So I tried every diet, every quick fix, every promise that said "this will finally make you feel good enough." None of it worked. Because the problem was never my body — it was the story I was telling myself about who I was.
There was a point where I was so disconnected from myself that I didn't recognise the person in the mirror. Zero self-worth. Exhausted from trying to shrink. I was doing everything I thought I was supposed to do and feeling worse every single day.
That was my rock bottom. And honestly? It was the best thing that ever happened to me. Because when you've got nothing left to lose, you stop asking for permission and start making decisions that actually matter.
I found strength training. Not the "tone up with 2kg dumbbells" kind. Real, heavy, challenging training. Then I discovered calisthenics — and something clicked. For the first time in my life, my body wasn't something to punish. It was something to build.
I stopped chasing a number on the scale and started chasing my first pull-up. Then my first muscle-up. Then a handstand. Every new skill rewired how I saw myself. I wasn't the girl who hid anymore. I was becoming someone I actually respected.
I went all in. Got my degree in exercise science. Started coaching in person. Moved from New Zealand to Brisbane because I wanted a fresh start in a city that matched the energy I was building. I didn't just change my body — I changed my entire identity.
And the more I changed, the more women started asking me how. Not "what workout do you do?" but "how did you actually start believing in yourself?" That question changed the direction of my life.
I started coaching women who were exactly where I'd been. Women who were strong enough to show up but had been told — by the industry, by society, by themselves — that they weren't enough. Women who were done playing small but didn't know what the alternative looked like.
I became the coach I wish I'd had. Not someone who just handed out meal plans and said "stay consistent." Someone who understood the self-sabotage, the all-or-nothing thinking, the deep fear that maybe you're just not the kind of person who gets results. Because I'd lived all of it.
12+ years of coaching taught me that motivation isn't the problem. Systems are. So I built one. Training, nutrition, mindset, accountability — all integrated. Not a PDF you download and forget. A real coaching experience with a real human who gives a damn.
Today I coach women worldwide from Brisbane. Every program, every check-in, every conversation is built on the same foundation: you are already capable of more than you think. My job is to prove it to you — and then make you believe it yourself.
