From a young age, I have always loved being active, be it playing touch rugby, volley ball or even swimming in the old farm dam- I was always on the lookout for some kind of adventure.
After school, I began competing at high levels, which deepened my understanding and appreciation for how the body performs and recovers. When choosing a career, I knew I wanted something that would allow me to stay connected to the world of sports while supporting myself in a meaningful way.
In 2013, I became a personal trainer. It was an incredibly fulfilling role—I loved helping people set and achieve their fitness goals, celebrating their progress every step of the way. However, I soon realized I wanted to expand my skill set to support my clients even more. That’s when I discovered sports massage therapy.
What began as an additional qualification quickly became a passion. With sports massage, I could help people feel better and improve their performance in ways I hadn’t imagined. Seeing my clients regain mobility, reduce discomfort, or enhance their recovery reaffirmed my choice to focus entirely on this path.
A Holistic Approach
Having competed internationally in obstacle course racing, I’ve developed a unique understanding of the body. That sport tests every muscle group, and through my own injuries and recoveries, I learned how interconnected the body truly is.
When a client visits me with a concern—whether it’s back pain or tight shoulders—I approach it holistically. I assess the surrounding muscle groups and how they interact. For example, lower back pain may require attention to the hamstrings, glutes, and even the hips. Addressing the body as a whole ensures a more effective, lasting solution.
I also believe in taking the time needed to ensure every session achieves its purpose. Every client is different, and I’m committed to tailoring my approach to meet individual needs, always with clear communication and respect.
Life Lessons from Motherhood
Becoming a mom to twins has been one of the most rewarding and eye-opening experiences of my life. It’s shown me just how adaptable and resilient the human body can be. My son and daughter are my greatest inspiration, driving me to continuously grow, learn, and provide for them.
Of course, they get treated to a bit of pampering from time to time! My son loves a massage, while my daughter prefers gentle, soothing touches. It’s a reminder that everyone’s needs are unique, whether they’re two years old or a seasoned athlete.
