Bio

I grew up in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne and during my childhood and teenage years I was very active in sports such as swimming, soccer and Taekwondo. After practicing Taekwondo for 10 years, I became an instructor which allowed me to help people improve their fitness and self-confidence. However, my priorities changed during my teenage years when I was introduced to the gym. I was having an absolute blast getting bigger and stronger. However, during my first few years in the gym, I developed a rotator cuff tendinopathy and was extremely frustrated that I couldn’t do what I love anymore due to pain. During this time, I became drawn to learn more about how the rehabilitation process works. I also noticed how great it felt to go back to doing what I enjoyed. This opened up my world and brought me into my career in exercise physiology. I want to help as many people as I can, to get back to doing what they enjoy most.

I have worked as a gym instructor and personal trainer for years and love having a bit of banter with clients while helping them achieve their goals. Over the years I have been able to help many people improve their strength, fitness, increase their muscle mass and improve their overall health! I am passionate about injury prevention, rehab, chronic disease management, strength and hypertrophy development.

I grew up playing a lot of video games and still play many to this day. It is something I enjoy doing in my downtime to relax, even if it is a little stressful at times. I also love chatting about cars and have been fortunate enough to be behind the wheel of some very quick ones.

“Success is the sum of small, repeated efforts”

One exercise session won’t make a world of difference, the magic happens when you are consistent!
