Hi, I’m your coach Carrie!
“My mission is to support anyone who is ready to move their health and well-being up the ladder of priority, to feel confident in the skin they are in, to utilise training as a way to manage stress and get the most enjoyment out of their daily lives.”
I qualified as a Master Trainer at AIF in 2016
My interest in becoming a personal trainer arose in the years after the birth of my 2nd son.
I experienced hyperemesis gravidarum through both pregnancies and lost the strength and fitness I needed to be the active mum I had always imagined.
I took up a gym membership not knowing what to do and found my comfort zone in the early morning dark room of the cycle class.
I loved having this time to myself and grew confidence as my fitness improved week by week. However, excelling solely in this form of exercise as a mother of young children was not supportive of my immune system. I caught every cough and cold going around and needed further guidance with rehabilitating my strength and overall well being.
It was at this stage I hired a personal trainer to show me how to work towards my goals. I fell in love with resistance training and built a stronger body than I had previous to having children.
As this hobby became an integral part of my lifestyle, I could reflect that the benefits of training on a regular basis extended far beyond what I could see in the mirror and became passionate about sharing this knowledge with others.
My mission is to support anyone who is ready to move their health and well-being up the ladder of priority, to feel confident in the skin they are in, to utilize training as a way to manage stress and get the most enjoyment out of their daily lives.
With the following qualifications, over the past 20 years I have had the privilege of supporting others with their wellbeing in a variety of settings from a health club, day spa, cruise ship, PT studio, yoga studio and now at my home!
