I’ve worked in the fitness industry for over 10 years, but my journey started long before I became a coach. After years of having a really unhealthy relationship with food, I knew I wanted to change things – not just for me, but to be a healthy role model for my daughter. Through small, consistent changes to my lifestyle I created a much healthier life, lost a significant amount of weight and completely fell in love with strength training and movement

I first qualified as a personal trainer and spent years working in gyms, but I always knew I wanted something more personal, welcoming and holistic than ‘just another PT session’. That’s how Helfit Studio was born – a hybrid space that brings together my passion for weight training with the support, control and body awareness of reformer Pilates. It’s a place where building strength, improving posture and feeling good in your skin all sit side by side.

Two months after launching Helfit, I was diagnosed with cancer. I carried on building the brand through treatment and recovery, and I’m still here, still coaching. I truly believe that moving my body helped to save my life and continues to support me through chronic illness and everything that comes with it. Because of that, I have a huge heart for anyone navigating their own battles – whether that’s stress, a difficult relationship with food, an eating disorder, chronic illness, pain, or just feeling lost with where to start.

In the studio you’ll find a relaxed, friendly space where you’re met exactly where you are. My job isn’t to shout at you or punish your body – it’s to listen, support, educate and challenge you in a way that feels safe and sustainable. I was honoured to be named Best Fitness Instructor in 2023, but the real win for me is seeing clients grow in strength, confidence and self‑trust. If you’re looking for a place to lift, breathe, move and rebuild a better relationship with your body, I’d love to welcome you to Helfit.
