I began my career in television, but it didn’t take long to realise the industry wasn’t for me. I was burning out and craving work that felt more meaningful, something that supported both my mind and body, rather than draining them.

In 2016, I began training to become a Personal Trainer. By 2017, I was a Certified Personal Trainer, a Group Exercise Instructor at Nuffield Health in London, and a Certified Les Mills BodyPump Instructor.

Like many people entering the fitness world, I trained a lot, often relentlessly, and not always sensibly. Over time, though, my focus shifted. My workouts stopped being about weight loss or “shredding” and became about building strength, stability, and trust in my body.

As I grew stronger physically, I noticed something else changing too. My mindset softened. The grip of diet culture loosened. I began to understand that movement could be a way to support my mental health, not punish my body.

Weight loss is often positioned as the primary goal of exercise, and for a long time, it was for me as well. But through experience, I’ve learned that training can offer so much more than a change in appearance. It can be grounding, empowering, and deeply supportive.

Since moving to Los Angeles in 2018, I’ve established myself as a Personal Trainer with a focus on movement, strength, and mobility.

Because we are so much more than how we look, and our worth is never determined by the size of our bodies.
