A BIT ABOUT ME
I Make Fitness About You
Undergoing strenuous training for rowing competitions I have gained a real understanding of the secrets to getting fit and how important the likes of good posture, resistance, core stability, the quality & flexibility of your fascia & muscles, mental strength and nutrition are to total body health, and ultimately to your ability to cope with daily life.
Being slightly older in starting a new career in this field, an age when the concept of fitness becomes more about setting up your future quality of life rather than just winning medals or getting a 6 pack, my business idea and specialisms are very much focused on how movement & soft tissue therapy can vastly improve health for the long term and particularly for those aged forty to fifty plus, perhaps going through the menopause or with certain health conditions.
As such I have achieved certification in a range of specialist areas reflecting those ideas.
In 2015 I achieved the REPS Level 4 Diploma in Obesity & Diabetes Management, which nicely compliments my Level 3 in Exercise Prescription. Having gained a Level 3 in Pregnancy Fitness when I qualified I have continued to ensure I am on top of current thinking in this highly specialist area by moving my studies to the globally recognised Burrell Education and have achieved the Modern Pregnancy Exercise & Wellness Certificate & the Advanced Modern Post Natal Assessment, Core Restore & Functional Exercise Certificate. More recently I have completed a Level 3 in Soft Tissue Massage Therapy as well as continuing to study for a Third Age certificate to support my Coaching of Menopausal Women. As part of my Burrell Education investment I have lifetime access to a Student Support group which provides me with a live forum of over 5,000 trainers across a wide variety of female wellness industries who share experiences and knowledge on a daily basis and is a fantastic resource when a question needs answering. The highly regarded trainers themselves are regular contributors to the forum so providing that specialist current thinking on an ongoing basis.
I believe I have the complimentary set of skills to run a wellness & fitness business with a real difference: years of working in Client Services for a Global Corporate, specifically chosen qualifications, plus first-hand experience of what it takes to make a real physical difference at this time of life. I also have over 12 years of experience in the business itself. I am extremely focused on how I can support my clients in making positive changes for their long term, as well as helping them to discover a new inner confidence in the way they look and feel.
