I was raised in sunny Cape Town, South Africa – home to an extremely adventurous outdoor lifestyle. My mom would confirm that I almost came out running from the womb! In fact, if I wasn’t given the opportunity to expend my energy regularly, I would become near impossible to manage.

I feel most myself when my body is moving, and through the years, this instinct was eventually channelled into athletic performance, where I displayed a natural talent. This allowed me to compete for 12 years, reaching the world championships in 2004, Italy, for swimming and triathlon.

During this time, staying strong and healthy was no easy task. Granted, I had a natural skill to move. I could push my body and perform well enough for the international stage, but it came at a cost.

I started discovering the connections between social, emotional and physical elements, and how they are all tied together. As I started implementing these supplementary practices, I regained my confidence, relief from the constant aches and pains, and my relationships started flourishing.

Today, I am passionate to inspire others to discover how they were designed to move. In our contemporary culture, we tend to be disconnected from our bodies: either pushing it too hard, or not at all!

I inspire clients to look at the entirety of their lives and not leave anything to chance. This is what I call the integrated approach to health and performance. Once there is a lack of synchronicity, it can have huge effects on the way we move, act, relate, feel, play and perform.
