I entered into the Fitness Industry quite late in my career having previously worked in TV marketing. Returning to work after having children was the turning point for me. Realising the struggle mums had trying to fit in fitness after having children and the subsequent family demands I decided to follow my dreams and my hobby.

We founded FitState in 2012 because we wanted to help and share with women that it is possible to juggle busy lives whilst maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle through making the right food choices to managing time to fit in exercise and meditation.

I’m a passionate believer in leading a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle in order to enjoy life to the full and have the energy to keep up with today’s demands of work and family life.

I enjoy the challenge of training different disciplines and the positive effect it has one the body. I’m a lover and believer of ‘variety being the spice of life’ so love to mix up my fitness for body and mind. From endurance cycling, HIIT, Strength training, boxing.

I LOVE food, so you can join me in the journey to discover tasty, nutritious meals that keep you feeling fully satisfied. You name it, I love it!!
