While searching for my passport for an upcoming trip, I stumbled across these little gems… my Personal Training and Spin Instructor certificates. 🚴♀️🏋️♀️
It feels like a lifetime ago.
I completed these straight out of high school. I’ve always loved movement, sport and being active. Back then, I dreamed of becoming a PE teacher, but like many of us, I followed what I thought was the “right” path — get a job, buy a house, do what everyone else was doing.
I spent about 18 months working in the fitness industry. It was fun, energetic and I met some incredible people, but I was also running on youth, partying hard and fuelling my body in ways that didn’t support my health. Eventually, it caught up with me.
Looking back now, I can see that season of my life was planting seeds.
22 years later, those seeds have grown into something I never expected — wellness coaching.
I’ve always loved supporting people. Through my time as a PT, my own health journey, and years of continuing to learn and educate myself, I’ve come to understand that nutrition is the foundation of health.
Movement will always be important, but what we fuel our bodies with every day has the power to change our energy, recovery, performance and overall quality of life.
It’s funny how life works. Sometimes the things we leave behind aren’t gone forever. They simply come back in a different form when we’re ready for them.
Maybe wellness coaching wasn’t such a different path after all
