Twenty years of coaching bodies. Cancer taught me why.
Built on the track
I started competing in athletics as a child and went on to represent South Africa in athletics and duathlon. Movement was never a chore to me — it was identity. That love led me to a BA in Human Movement Science and Sport Psychology, because I wanted to understand not just how bodies work, but why people do.
Twenty years, hundreds of lives
For over two decades I’ve coached people of every age and starting point — executives, parents, athletes, retirees. I learned early that the workout is the easy part. The real coaching is in the accountability, the nutrition, the psychology, and in genuinely caring whether someone shows up for themselves next week.
Stage 3. Theneverything changed.
Fighting stage-3 lymphoma — and now living in remission — rewrote my relationship with health. I learned what our bodies are truly capable of, and how precious the strength we take for granted really is. I don’t coach so people look better in photos. I coach so you invest in your health before you’re ever forced to.
My clients don’t become another number. They become part of a community — and my goal isn’t to help you lose weight. It’s to help you become stronger, healthier and happier for the rest of your life.
