Hi and welcome,

I really have two major stories, one of my development in health and as a cyclist/coach.

My health journey started very young, I spent a very large part of my youth with my grandad and nan. Even earlier then 10 years old I realized my nan was a very sick person and was in a lot of pain. I watched my nan suffer every day, but in reality, she lived a brutal last 20+ years of her life. She did everything in her power not to show how much pain she was in to her grandchildren. In having my own autoimmune disease, getting a taste of the pain she experienced and I cant believe how bad it must have been for her. By the time I was 16 I took in any and all information I could about human biology and health. I took diet very seriously from the time I was 16 until now. I realized this was a major if not the biggest factor in my nan's pain and death. I have multiple health, wellness, medical accreditation’s and always furthering my education every day with educational studies, books, papers, podcasts, articles with every free moment I have. I really love is to help people and I want to do this as often as possible so they don’t experience how bad it can be. Through the experience I lived, my drive to understand why what we consume effects us has given me the effective tools to help myself and others.

My cycling story, I once was a elite cyclist. I’ve won professional races. Every year of training and racing brought greater success as I built my fitness. Almost obsessively studying sports science of all kinds for over 12 + years (in combination with the health interests) testing many theories and lab results by bringing them to real road training—even incorporating a way of training for a full year. 

Since my transition to coaching and training full time in 2011, I’ve had the pleasure of working with professional cyclists in the Olympics, World Championships Road and TT, Paris Roubaix, WINNING multiple professional national championships as well as elite, for Road, TT, MTB and Junior, Masters national championships. I also have had the great experience of working with and directing U23 Pro/Am Cycling teams, and Pro/Am Women’s cycling teams.

If its training to just be better or racing is your goal, it is imperative to understand endurance sport and it really takes years to develop ones real potential. Health coaching I feel its important to make commitments that will allow you to live the healthy life you imagine. Let’s start and see what your potential is.
