Who am I?
Gymnast | Long Distance runner | Body Builder
I have years of experience within the fitness industry having been a gymnast in my early days, a cardio Queen, a long distance runner, a quick 'bout' at boxing and now, for the last few years a competitive Body Builder achieving a UK title, Great British placement and Universe athlete.
My support to you will be realistic, designed with only you in mind whether you join me on-line, personal 121 or in small group classes.
You will receive my total focus and attention because I strongly believe that your effort and motivation is not simply expressed by completing the activity but very much in 'how you behave'.
Behavior and reaction is the window that you often cannot control and trust me I can read it!
Because I Can
LADIES WHO LIFT
Ladies Who Lift was created six years ago from something I noticed every day in the gym, the weights area was full of men, and almost empty of women.
When I spoke to women, the reason became clear.
They wanted to lift.
They just didn’t feel confident.
They were anxious about getting it wrong, hurting themselves, or being judged.
So I changed that.
I created Ladies Who Lift to give women the knowledge, skills, and confidence to train properly with resistance, not just cardio, not just machines, but real strength training.
These sessions are about learning how to lift correctly, understanding your body, and feeling empowered to walk into the weights section knowing exactly what you’re doing.
We focus on:
- Proper lifting technique
- Safe, effective resistance training
- Building strength and confidence
- Understanding your body and movement
- Creating a supportive, judgement-free environment
My goal is simple: to help women feel strong, capable, and confident in the gym. No more anxiety.
No more feeling out of place.
Just strong, educated lifting and women who own their space.
STRENGTH TRAINING THROUGH MENOPAUSE
Strength training becomes even more important for women as we move through perimenopause and menopause.
During this stage of life, our bodies naturally lose muscle and bone density — which can increase the risk of sarcopenia (loss of muscle) and osteoporosis. This doesn’t happen overnight, but without resistance training it does happen steadily.
That’s why lifting weights isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about health, independence, and long-term quality of life.
In Ladies Who Lift, we focus on building strong muscles and strong bones, helping your body stay resilient, powerful, and capable as you age. Resistance training helps to:
- Maintain and rebuild lean muscle
- Strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk
- Support joint health and posture
- Improve balance and stability
- Boost energy levels
And just as importantly, it supports your mental health.
Menopause can be a challenging time emotionally as well as physically. Strength training gives you structure, confidence, stress relief, and a sense of control over your body when so much else feels like it’s changing.
These sessions aren’t just about lifting weights.
They’re about building strength for life, physically and mentally.
Strong muscles.
Strong bones.
Strong mindset.
HIIT & LIFT - HYBRID TRAINING
HIIT & Lift combines two essential elements of fitness into one powerful session:
cardiovascular training + strength training.
Because real health isn’t built by choosing one or the other, it comes from doing both.
These sessions blend high-intensity intervals (to challenge your heart and lungs) with structured resistance training (to build muscle and strength). The result is a balanced workout that improves fitness, strength, and overall conditioning.
HIIT & Lift helps you:
- Improve cardiovascular health and stamina
- Build lean muscle and full-body strength
- Increase calorie burn and metabolic fitness
- Support heart health
- Boost energy levels
- Strengthen bones and joints
- Improve coordination and movement quality
Cardio trains your heart.
Strength training builds your body.
Together, they create a resilient, capable system that supports everyday life, from climbing stairs to lifting shopping bags, playing with your kids, or simply feeling fitter and stronger.
Every HIIT & Lift session is fully adaptable. Exercises are modified to suit your body, your ability, and how you’re feeling that day, making it accessible whether you’re new to training or already experienced.
This isn’t about being pushed past your limits.
It’s about training smart, building strength, improving fitness, and leaving each session feeling accomplished.
Strong heart.
Strong body.
Strong you.
GIRLS & BOYS WHO LIFT
The Girls Who Lift and Boys Who Lift groups are designed especially for 12–15 year olds, a stage of life where both physical and emotional support really matter.
This is such a tough age. Bodies are changing, confidence can dip, and mental health can feel fragile. These sessions give young people a safe, positive space to move, learn, and grow.
The focus isn’t just on lifting weights, it’s about:
- Learning how to move well
- Developing strength safely
- Building confidence in their bodies
- Learning a brand-new skill
- Supporting mental wellbeing
- Creating healthy habits early in life
Strength training at this age helps improve coordination, posture, balance, and overall body awareness, foundations that benefit them for years to come.
Why Sessions Are Split
Girls and boys train separately because they develop differently at every age, physically, emotionally, and hormonally.
By splitting sessions, I can tailor coaching styles, exercises, and progressions to suit each group properly, creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable, supported, and able to thrive.
Each session is age-appropriate, technique-led, and confidence-building, with a strong emphasis on correct movement, respect for their bodies, and enjoying the process.
These groups aren’t about pressure or performance.
They’re about helping young people feel strong, capable, and proud of what their bodies can do, during one of the most important stages of their lives.
