Practices you'll see me in: You'll mainly see me in Watchet and Williton Surgery however I also lead group sessions across West Somerset.

I'm really interested in: I am very lucky to have worked in physical activity for all my life and it's an area I am very interested in, From starting as a personal trainer and spin instructor straight from college being able to help people find a passion for movement and enjoyment gave me so much fulfilment. Through my University studies I was able to improve my knowledge for movement switching from the everyday public to competitive and elite athletes.

I now spend my days promoting movement and healthier ways of living to those with long term health conditions – any movement no matter how great or small, no matter your size or ability can make you feel great.

Along my journey through personal training and training elite athletes I gained a passion for nutrition – I enjoy nothing more than breaking down diet stereotypes and empowering individuals to learn and discover the importance of a good balanced diet and how amazing it can make them feel.

I like to move by: I have always been happiest when training for something, I enjoy the challenge and accomplishment from achieving a goal I've set myself. In my younger days I was a competitive 400m hurdler, I loved the thrill of racing and making myself as fast as possible, I have now learnt to enjoy new challenges still through running but instead of how fast it's now how far, regularly taking part in long distance trail running events. It's a great chance to physically and mentally push myself.

Something else about me: when I was younger, I wanted to join the circus and learnt to juggle and ride a unicycle.
