Now more than ever the world is calling for health, wellness and fitness professionals to step up, spread their message and shine their light amidst a health pandemic in which we are collectively realising that being healthy is becoming much more of a necessity than a luxury to live a long and happy life.

I have always been a truth seeker and one of those people who need to get to the bottom of things. What started as a little information digging, turned into a real passion and way of life as I started to make a changes and see the positive impact they were having on both myself and my family.

It all started for me when I had my firstborn over ten years ago. Born with a range of health issues including severe food allergies and eczema, I went on a mission to heal her naturally. Autoimmune diseases and related issues also run and in my family and as you can imagine it’s so hard to watch the ones you love in pain and suffering. I have also had my fair share of health issues over the years from diagnosed anxiety disorder to chronic Urticaria (commonly known as hives) and suspected endometriosis.

For me, living a life of wellness has always been not so much about a lifestyle change but more about a way of life and has given me so much more out of life both mentally and physically. Whether it be that hour of ‘me time’ each day when I go to the gym, using food as medicine and nourishing my body and my family with wholesome and healthy foods, teaching my kid’s healthy habits for the future, or keeping my mental game strong and managing life’s stress through a solid sweat sesh! It helps me show up each day as the best version of yourself so I can handle anything life throws at me and I want to help people to do the same.

I believe who you are and what you do should be the same thing and becoming a personal trainer, for me, is a way I can help people make positive changes in their life. As an extension of who I am, a career in the fitness industry is a way to live a life of service, purpose, and intention. So here I am, thirty-two something years of age, taking a leap! Turning what I live and breath each day into a career because I want to share and give back to something that has given me so much life and served me so well over the years.

The Australian Institute Fitness has made all this possible. They deliver the most recognised fitness qualification in the industry and have the number one qualification employers are looking for. As a student of the Master Trainer program, I am learning exactly what I need to, in order to coach people who want to make positive changes for their health, fitness, and wellbeing through exercise.

When you consider personal training, there are so many things that lure you into the industry. Whether it be the fact that obesity and diabetes rates are growing to epidemic levels, or that committing to a healthy and active lifestyle has so many benefits to our health, longevity and overall vitality and that the industry is ever-growing because there is always going to be more people who need extra help. As a personal trainer, you get to help someone change their life and watch an amazing transformation, and that is really exciting.

Leading a life of example and inspiring people to achieve their goals through training, nutrition, and mindset has always been a dream of mine and I am beyond excited that I am now making this happen. Being strong, fit and healthy is what keeps me motivated, on top of my game and inspires me each and every day and I simply can’t wait to finish my studies and get into the business of ‘feeling good’ and helping others to do the same!
