About me

I have always been active from team sports at school, to running, cycling, yoga, Pilates and the gym as an adult.

After graduating from Manchester University, I worked in the recruitment industry in the UK and in Sydney. After I had my second child, I traded that in for a flexible, part time job managing a large tennis and squash club locally. However, there was always a feeling of wanting to do something that was more impactful on people’s lives. Experiencing cancer within my family in 2015 was the catalyst for change and I made the decision to direct my passion for exercise and fitness into a career to help those affected by cancer or chronic conditions. 

I live in the countryside on the Buckinghamshire/Hertfordshire borders with my husband, two teenagers, our naughty Irish Terrier and a handful of chickens!

Recently, I have been part of the SafeFit research trial designed to support anyone in the UK with suspicion of or confirmed diagnosis of cancer (safefit.nhs.uk – Welcome to SafeFit) and volunteer at my local Hospice.
