Bio

 As a researcher in clinical studies, and a health and fitness coach, I am dedicated to the evidence based fitness science presented by NASM. I thrive to make a difference in peoples lives by guiding them through their wellness journey, and educating them with the latest exercise science, weight management and nutrition knowledge I earned through countless studies. I believe in educating my clients rather than plain physical training, to change them to healthy and independent individuals.
Postnatal mothers, youth athletics and Senior clients are a big part of my experience.
