About

Practical coaching built around real life.

I’m a Christchurch-based personal trainer and online coach working with everyday people who want to become stronger, move better and feel more capable in their bodies.

My coaching combines strength training, movement quality, realistic progression and clear education. Programmes are built around the client’s experience, schedule, goals and available equipment rather than a one-size-fits-all template.

I work across in-person coaching, remote programmes and workplace wellness, with an emphasis on consistency and sustainable progress rather than short-term extremes.
