My journey into health and fitness didn’t start from a place of confidence — it started from a place of knowing I needed to change.

At 20 years old, I invested in a personal trainer. Not because it was convenient, but because I knew I needed accountability. Over the next 6–7 years, I immersed myself in training, learning, failing, rebuilding and understanding what true discipline really looks like. Before having children, I lost over 20kg and discovered what it felt like to genuinely feel strong in my own skin.

But life isn’t linear.

After having Holly, I gained the weight back — and more. Motherhood tested me in ways I hadn’t anticipated. Exhaustion. Hormones. Identity shifts. The mental load. I had to start again.

And I did.

After Mia, I once again committed to rebuilding. This time I lost over 30kg and pushed myself further than ever before — stepping onto the bodybuilding stage and placing 1st in Classic Women’s at the NABBA NZ Nationals in 2020.

That experience didn’t just transform my body — it transformed my mindset.

It taught me that discipline beats motivation.
It taught me that structure creates freedom.
It taught me that big goals require uncomfortable growth.

And now, in 2026 — six years after my last competition — I am stepping back onto the stage.

Not because it’s convenient.
Not because life is quiet.
But because I know what I’m capable of when I apply the discipline I’ve built over years.

Preparing for 2026 looks very different to 2020. I’m not just an athlete. I’m a business owner. I’m a mum of three. I’m responsible for a community. Which means my approach is smarter, more structured and rooted in sustainability. It’s not about chasing a trophy — it’s about proving to myself, and showing others, that growth doesn’t stop when life gets busy.

I believe in leading by example.

As a woman balancing family, business and ambition, I understand that most people don’t lack knowledge — they lack structure, support and consistency.

That’s where I come in.

I don’t coach from theory. I coach from lived experience.

I understand:
• Weight gain and weight loss
• Post-baby bodies
• Hormonal shifts
• Broken sleep and still training
• Running a business while raising a family
• Starting over when it feels easier to quit

Health isn’t about extremes. It’s about standards. It’s about doing the hard things when you don’t feel like it. It’s about balance — not perfection.

Because when you raise your standards, your life follows.

And if my journey proves anything, it’s this:

You can restart.
You can rebuild.
You can set goals that stretch you.

And you can achieve them — at any stage of life
