My Story

I started working as a personal trainer in 2018, became a remedial massage therapist in 2019, and began Olympic lifting. I will graduate with a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology in 2024.

I believe that degrees and qualifications don't automatically make someone a great professional in any career. I have found studying hard at times because I enjoy the practical aspect much more than the theory, but I am happy to have a solid knowledge base to help people. My goal is to combine weightlifting with rehabilitation. I enjoy working with people who need help moving and feeling better, but then what comes next? Many people visit a physiotherapist for a month, feel better, and then revert to old habits or stop exercising.

This is where weightlifting becomes an amazing tool. Weightlifting provides you with the next step. When you ask, "What now that my back feels better?" I say, "Let me teach you how to do a clean, or incorporate any lift you find enjoyable." It is crucial to now strengthen your body to a greater extent than before the injury. Improving strength and capacity will help you enjoy life, live independently, walk, and explore while on holiday.

I want to Grow the sport of Olympic weightlifting in Australia.

If everyone in Australia knew how to lift well,
we would be a stronger, healthier, Happier nation.

An aspiring athlete, to me, means being able to play a game of football without being sidelined for a week.

I thoroughly enjoy assisting everyday athletes in living life to the fullest. I express this passion through weightlifting, but I'm capable of helping anyone achieve their gym goals. My coaching style is distinct and may not suit everyone. Rather than dictating actions, I offer suggestions and provide guidance. If you're willing to take ownership of your health and view it as your responsibility to care for your body, then you're the kind of person I'm interested in working with.

Too often, people ask me to "fix" their bodies, assuming it's akin to dropping a car off at the mechanic. However, this is a flawed notion that hinders individuals from taking ownership and optimising their physical well-being.

I enjoy Weightlifting because it reminds Me to be present.

When the mind and body function well, everything else follows.

I have chosen to make it my life’s passion to understand the human body and how it works.

I know not everyone can afford a coach, or you may not have the physical means to access my services. For this reason, I have created online weightlifting programs, which you can find under the “Programs” tab.
