I'm a personal trainer specialising in women in perimenopause and menopause. Whether you've been training for years or you're just starting out, the coaching I build is grounded in the same thing: what does your body actually need right now, and how do we work with it rather than against it?
Perimenopause and menopause bring real symptoms. Fatigue, disrupted sleep, changes in energy and mood. A good programme doesn't ignore those things. It adapts to them. That doesn't mean doing less. It means doing the right things at the right time, so you keep making progress even on the harder days.
I run and I lift, and I do both because I genuinely believe women don't have to choose between the two. The idea that running will wreck your progress or that you need to drop HIIT when your hormones change is something I see repeated constantly online. Most of it isn't backed up by the evidence.
I also work full time, run two businesses, and I'm a mum. I am not writing this from a place of having endless hours to spend in the gym. I know exactly what it is to have a busy, unpredictable day, a packed schedule, and still want to train seriously. The workouts I build are short, focused, and effective because that's what my own life requires, and I know most of my clients are in exactly the same boat.
Before this, I spent over two decades as an educator. That means I'm good at explaining things clearly, cutting through jargon, and calling out nonsense when I see it. Which, in the fitness industry, is often.
Honest, evidence-informed coaching that meets you where you are and moves you forward.
