meet the coach
I`m a Health and Fitness Coach who always loved fitness but as im getting older i have ditched the cardio for weight training and in 2024 did my first bodybuilding competition.
After years struggling with my body image, having had an eating disorder and therefore struggling with food i found weight training helped me to embrace the parts of my body i didn't like as well as finding a new love for food.
Nutrition is something we often forget as women in our pursuit for the perfect body we go on low calorie diets and completely cut our carbs. I did all of this but now u eat a balanced diet of carbs, proteins and fats to help me to grow and maintain my muscle as well as making me stronger mentally and physically with optimum nutrition.
Now in my 40`s having had 2 children i am working on building muscle for longevity, to strengthen my bones and for overall health. Also having to deal with menopause and the loss of oestrogen weight training has been an essential to help me maintain and build muscle strength, hormonal balance and preventing me from putting on lots of weight.
I created Moodfit to help empower women to take back their bodies building a strong body and mind as they battle through Motherhood and beyond.
