Ikigai

Before being made redundant in 2016, I worked for many years in Energy Reporting Systems & Analytics, which is as far removed from what I love as you could get. In my early 30’s, I’d found a true love of sport and fitness through rock climbing, ice climbing and mountaineering, I really did get off the sofa and do something less boring instead. As the years went by I became more and more miserable in my work and it was one of those inspirational memes of all things that really put things into perspective for me - ikigai is the Japanese concept of "a reason for being". Everyone has an ikigai. To find it requires a journey of self-discovery. But the search is worth it.

Fitness and passing on my love for it are my passions and my ‘reasons for being’. So now, I'm qualified to REPS Level 4 with a Diploma in Personal Training, Diploma in Exercise Referral, Diplomas in Weight Management for Individuals with Obesity, Diabetes Mellitus and/or Metabolic Syndrome plus Delivering Physical Activity to Individuals with Mental Health Conditions, Level 1 Precision Nutrition Coach.

There's not much around that I haven't tried when it comes to sport and fitness - I'm an experienced rock and mountain climber, Powerlifter, Crossfitter, Strongwoman and Bodybuilder. I use the most effective elements across all disciplines to get the most out of my Clients and ensure that they achieve the best results. Whether it's fat loss or weight loss for a specific occasion, physique goals, an upcoming sporting event, or even that my Client wants to get fit and just doesn’t know where to begin.
