13 years ago, after having my first child, I had gained a huge amount of weight and was suffering with post-natal depression and dealing with motherhood as a single parent. It was a dark time I honestly didn’t know where to start. But I did know, having always been in love with sport and the gym from my teens, getting moving again would help. 
I will never forget that first day back at the gym! It felt awful, in every way! (I had been a personal trainer for around a year and a half before getting pregnant with my son). Even though as a trainer, I knew what I needed to do and set myself realistic goals, I just never realised the mental implications or the physical implications that being overweight and out of shape brought to the table. It took a lot of harsh talk to myself as well as DRAGGING myself to the gym before it got easier. But the point is, it did get easier. Each and every day that passed, I got stronger, physically and mentally. I was able to tackle life and single parenting head on as I felt more in control, I had more patience, I had more energy. It had an amazing impact on my life, and I have never looked back.

I often have the old, ‘well what do you know about being overweight’ comment thrown my way by clients, but the fact is my lovelies, I have been there and came out winning. AND I decided with my first-hand experience, my knowledge within the health and fitness industry, I needed to share that with others. With all the contradictory advice, the fad diets and lack of support out there, I felt I needed to make it my mission to help others take control. Even if just one person and 8 years on, I have been lucky enough to have helped hundreds of you lovely lot. YOU are not on your own and you can strike that balance between life and fat loss, its achievable and I am going to show you how!!!
