Specialised Support
I specialise in helping people with neurological challenges including concussion recovery, nervous system dysregulation, hormonal issues that plateau weight loss, and autoimmune conditions that require a balanced approach to training.
As a neuroscientist in study (not a doctor), I provide evidence-based training approaches that complement medical care. My protocols focus on nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and gentle progression to support your recovery journey.
*Always consult with your doctor first before beginning any training programme.

My Journey
Over the past decade, I've delivered more than 2,000+ personal training sessions and guided over 70 full-body transformations. But my path to neuroscience-informed fitness began with my own challenges.
After competing in Premier Club Rugby in New Zealand and earning my 1st Kyu Brown Belt in Shotokan Karate, multiple concussions left me battling anxiety, depression, and focus issues. What started as recovery became a fascination with the brain and human potential.
I ran a global anxiety and performance coaching brand across 12 countries before returning to the gym floor. Now completing my Bachelor of Science (Neuroscience Major), I blend evidence-based strategies with practical training.
My mission is simple: help you build a body and brain that perform at their best - in the gym, at work, and in life.
