My training philosophy
I want people to shift their mentality surrounding exercise and food. For too long, exercise has been seen as a way to punish ourselves because we don’t look a certain way, we have eaten ‘bad’ food and the focus becomes how many calories can exercise burn. I want to create an environment where women think how to move optimally and be amazed at what their bodies can achieve. I also encourage my ladies to connect to their bodies more deeply by understanding you unique menstrual cycle.
Let’s focus on what your body can do, nourish it with the foods you need to train and move away from negative body image and improve our relationship with food.
