Where It Started
Like many women, I spent years chasing weight loss, convinced that happiness, confidence, and self-worth were waiting at a lower number on the scale. What began with good intentions gradually became an unhealthy obsession.
During my teenage years, I battled anorexia, becoming disconnected from my body and losing sight of what health was supposed to feel like. The more I focused on becoming smaller, the less healthy I became. Instead of feeling empowered, I felt trapped in a cycle that left me physically and emotionally exhausted.
Discovering strength training was the first step towards change.
For the first time, exercise wasn’t about punishment, earning food, burning calories, or shrinking myself. It became an opportunity to build strength, confidence, and trust in my body again. Strength training helped me see my body not as something to constantly fix, but as something capable, resilient, and worth caring for.
But recovery wasn’t a straight path. After discovering strength training, I swung too far in the opposite direction. Determined never to feel weak again, I trained harder, pushed more, and ignored the recovery my body desperately needed. The effects of anorexia didn’t disappear overnight either. I lost my period during my eating disorder, disrupted my hormones through overtraining, and continue to navigate hormonal health challenges today.
Eventually, I hit a wall. No matter how disciplined I was, my body was sending clear signals that something needed to change. I was exhausted, struggling to recover, and realised that constantly pushing harder wasn’t making me healthier. That moment became a turning point. It forced me to slow down, listen to my body, and rethink what wellbeing truly meant.
Slowly, I learned that real health isn’t found in extremes. It’s found in fuelling your body properly, training intelligently, respecting recovery, understanding your hormones, and working with your body instead of against it.
As I rebuilt my relationship with fitness and completed my degree in biological sciences, I became fascinated by women’s health and anatomy. But the more I learned, the more I realised that much of the fitness advice women receive is built on research conducted primarily on men. Women are often expected to follow the same rules despite having different hormonal fluctuations, recovery patterns, and physiological needs.
Women deserve better than generic advice. They deserve coaching that recognises their unique physiology, experiences, and goals.
That’s why I became a coach.
Today, I help women build strength, lose body fat sustainably, and create healthy habits that fit their lives. No crash diets. No punishing workouts. No all-or-nothing thinking. Just intelligent training, evidence-based coaching, and a supportive environment where women can discover what their bodies are truly capable of.
Fitness should help you feel more powerful, not more restricted. If my journey has taught me anything, it’s that lasting transformation doesn’t come from making yourself smaller. It comes from learning to trust, support, and strengthen yourself from the inside out.
The goal was never to become smaller.
The goal was never to become perfect.
The goal was to become myself.
Everything else followed.
Why Train With Me?
Train Like A Girl directly challenges the norm of the fitness industry. My background in Biological Sciences gave me a deep understanding of how the female body functions beyond just exercise and nutrition, which, combined with my Personal Training qualifications, allows me to take a broader view of health, helping women understand the relationship between training, nutrition, recovery, hormones, and long-term wellbeing.
