I work with people who know they should be training, but aren’t quite sure how to do it properly, or consistently. Most of my clients are busy, spend a lot of time sitting, and have tried to “get back into it” more than once. They don’t need motivation, they need a clear way forward.
I grew up around sport and the outdoors, and later studied agricultural economics and finance. Before coaching, I worked in government, investment and financial planning. That background helps me understand what a typical day actually looks like - long hours, mental load, inconsistent routines - and why generic fitness advice doesn’t stick.
Now, I work with clients who want to:
Not just for a few weeks - something that lasts.
I think about health in three simple areas — how you move, how you eat, and how you live day to day.
I enjoy being active — running, cycling, swimming and time in the surf. I’ve always preferred taking part rather than watching.
In the gym, I keep things simple and effective.
Most of my work centres around:
Building strong legs and hips is one of the most reliable ways to improve how people move and feel - both in and out of the gym.
I grew up eating a typical mix of foods - meat and vegetables - and over time my approach has evolved.
These days I follow a mostly whole-food, plant-based diet.
That shift has been influenced by health, as well as broader considerations like sustainability and animal welfare.
For me, it’s not about perfection — it’s about having a consistent, practical approach that supports how I want to live.
I’m naturally introverted, so I value keeping things simple and not overloading my schedule.
I focus on:
That same approach carries into how I coach — clear structure, flexibility where needed, and a focus on what works in real life.

Most of the people I work with have a bit of life behind them — and a renewed commitment to their health and fitness.
They’re ready to:
Some have trained before, others haven’t.
More often, it’s not lack of interest — it’s that work, family or business has taken priority for a period of time.
The focus now is simple:
build the skills and confidence to train properly, and make that time count.
Most people are already doing something — walking, getting outdoors, or playing sport. What’s often missing is structured strength work.
In the gym, the focus is on:
The aim is to build strength and confidence so training feels clear and something they can continue on their own.
Most people already have an approach to eating — sometimes influenced by current trends.
There’s often a tendency to:
The aim is to build an approach to eating that is practical, consistent, and sustainable over time.
Like everyone, clients are balancing competing demands — mostly around time. That can lead to habits that don’t support their health.
So part of the work is stepping back:
The aim is to build habits and routines that fit into real life — and support progress that lasts.
If this sounds like you, the best place to start is here →
The tree represents a simple idea - building something solid over time.
The goal isn’t to do everything at once.
It’s to build something that holds together.
That’s how I approach coaching
I completed my Certificates III and IV in Fitness through the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers in 2019.
Since then, I’ve continued to develop my knowledge through a range of in-person and online education, including:
As a registered personal trainer with AUSactive, I complete ongoing professional development to maintain and update my knowledge.
My role is to help clients build safe, effective training programs that support their goals.
This includes:
Where something sits outside my scope — such as injury diagnosis or treatment — I’ll refer to a suitable health professional.
Any nutrition guidance I provide is general and aligned with the Australian Dietary Guidelines.
