I was the skinny, self-conscious kid, often bullied and too shy to even eat in front of others. At 16, I joined the gym but felt out of place, laughed at for being too thin. But the negativity fueled my drive to succeed. I learned how to build muscle and transform my body, and now I’m passionate about helping others do the same. With a background in engineering and project management, I co-founded AK Active to create a supportive space where everyone can confidently transform their lives, inside and out.

Growing up bullied and in an abusive relationship, I knew I had to change my life. After stepping into the gym for the first time in my mid-20s, I transformed from a size 18 to a size 0 – both extremes, both unhealthy.

With the experiences I’ve overcome, I’m now passionate about showing others that exercise can be fun and a path to a healthier, more confident life. Co-founding AK Active with my husband Adam, I’ve built a bulletproof mindset, helping people do the same. As a personal trainer and advanced nutritionist, I’m dedicated to helping others achieve confidence, health, and joy in a sustainable way.

Five years into my journey to lose 10 stone, I’ve learned it’s not just about “move more, eat less” – mindset is everything. I’ve been in your shoes, faced the struggles, and I’m here to support you every step of the way with a gentle but firm approach. When I’m not at AK Active, I’m outdoors with my family, fixing travel crises, or enjoying a prosecco. My favourite session? Hyrox – it’s addictive!

I started as an AK Active member in 2023 to manage pain from scoliosis, hypermobility, and menopause – strength training changed my life! Now in my 50s, I’m passionate about helping others believe in themselves and achieve fitness goals they never thought possible. When I’m not at AK, I’m at home reading or cuddling my dogs.
