I played basketball professionally for 17 years, competing all over the world and at three Olympic Games. It was my life; I was very dedicated, focused and driven, putting in many extra hours on the court working on my game and my fitness. I’ve had the privilege of learning from many great coaches and can’t wait to pass this information on to you.
After retiring from basketball, I felt quite lost in terms of what the next stage of my life would bring. I had many doubts, fears and limiting beliefs about my future. Three years on, I knew I wasn’t where I wanted to be – I wasn’t living my life with passion. I needed to be fit, healthy, confident and passionate about life. Once I made this decision, things started to change. I began personal training, and now I love helping people get fit, confident and empowered, transforming their bodies and their minds.
In this time I have met and trained many people from many different walks of life. Although, all come with different challenges and different stories, we all have something in common - doubts, fears and limiting beliefs, and this is what truly holds us all back from achieving our goals. It all begins with Self-love.
After going through this myself I have an incredible passion to help others crush their limiting beliefs and break down barriers holding them back from knowing how amazing thry truly are.
Knowing and loving yourself is the foundation of a powerful mindset that builds resilience to cope with any of life’s curveballs.

After 8 years in the corporate world, in 2002 I started working in the gym. It felt like home. I was born for life in the fitness industry. When I started Personal Training, I was extremely busy living my passion and purpose. I was giving so much to my clients and they were achieving life changing results but I wasn’t giving enough to me and something had to change. It got to the point where I was over it. I was frustrated and sick and tired of not liking what I saw in the mirror. I was happy, and I loved to party, but deep down I wanted more out of life and I had so much more to give. I believe we all deserve to feel confident and happy with who we are – inside and out.
Dancing (tap, ballet, jazz, competitions – the lot) was a huge part of my life growing up. I played many other sports too but there was such a negative body image attached around the dancing culture – along with the feeling of not being good enough. This was not how I wanted my life story to be – I wanted to make an impact, I wanted to grow and evolve. I knew it was time to change and it was up to me to take control. So I did; I made the commitment, I did the work. I surrounded myself with positivity. Within 16 weeks I had transformed my body and changed my life and it was time to step on stage! One of the most empowering, scary, brave, courageous, best choices I have ever made!
I mostly trained myself for competitions, and during my first comp I also trained and coached one of my clients who won the overall Body Transformation Competition. The same year another transformation client reached a huge milestone on her journey with a total weight loss of 59kgs! This was a real turning point for me, an amazing and extremely proud year I will never forget.
I know how it feels to be in the fear zone, trust me. I know how it feels to be stuck in a body where you don’t belong. I also know how freaking EPIC it feels to achieve your goals. It takes mental strength, knowledge, love and support to become the best version of yourself, and I truly believe you can get there if you really want to. I’m not talking about competing – it’s all about YOU. You stepping into your greatness, whatever that might look like for YOU. We are all unique and we are all worthy of living our healthiest, happiest, strongest, most confident lives. Just Be You – Unapologetically You Are Enough.
