I have worked for most of my adult life as a nurse. I have specialised in many different areas during that time from running an Intensive care Unit to General Practice (where I still work one day a week).

Having become a keen gym goer and become interested in exercise, in 2003 I took a career break to study full time and qualified as a Personal trainer and Sports Massage Therapist. Since qualifying I have undergone further training and now teach a wide range of classes within all the major gyms in the area. Some of these classes are licensed and pre choreographed (Body Pump Body Combat and Body Balance) others are freestyle i.e. spin cycling, Pilates and circuit training.

I feel my two careers nicely compliment each other. Whilst I no longer practice Sports massage I have a good knowledge of the body and am able to tailor exercise to most peoples limitations. Being the other side of 50 (and quite well preserved) I am aware of just how important exercise is for quality of life, now and in the future. I am passionate about my work, have a good sense of humour (I'm told) and try to make exercise fun and enjoyable.
