THE PERSON BEHIND THE OPINIONS

I’m a coach, a wife and a mum of two. I know “just prioritise yourself” can sound a bit different when everyone needs something before breakfast.
With 20 years in health and fitness, I bring practical coaching experience, an evidence-informed approach and a healthy scepticism of the next miracle fix. My work focuses on strength, everyday wellbeing and helping women move beyond the constant pressure to shrink.
I translate health and fitness topics into clear, relatable conversations, with warmth, humour and something readers can actually use.
WHAT I CAN BRING TO YOUR READERS
Available for commissioned columns, practical features and expert commentary. A few conversations I’d love to start.
The food rules, guilt and “I’ll start Monday” cycle that turn eating into a full-time job.
A coaching perspective on adapting training around changing sleep, energy and recovery.
Making sense of fitness fads and big promises, with curiosity, context and less hype.
Why useful health advice needs to account for childcare, work, money and the life you actually have.
Moving from punishment and compensation towards strength, enjoyment and capability.
Building confidence through realistic actions, flexible habits and promises you can keep.

Straight-talking, practical and happy to question the script. Here’s a taste of Women Who Build.
