Lung Health
I have specialised interest and training with Respiratory Health having undertaken additional study with airway clearance and running 'Lungs in Action' programs.

This furthered my knowledge and expertise in how to assist people with motivational barriers and how to help people maintain their healthy lifestyle changes.

Weight Loss

I've always been passionate about all pillars of health. I believe to have good quality of life its important to balance the following:
- Nutrition and hydration
- Exercise and incidental activity
- Sleep, rest and recovery
- Mental health and relaxation
- Social connection and doing things that bring you joy.
I enjoy helping people realise their full potential in improving their overall health. Occasionally our priorities shift due to changes in life circumstances. By striving towards a better balance, perhaps with a little help, you can always make positive changes in your life to be able to do more things that you enjoy.
I enjoy staying active through a range of hobbies including; attending the local park run, walking and training my pup 'Elsie', salsa dancing, hiking, horse and mountain bike riding.
