Since 2013, I’ve had the privilege of being a fitness coach, nutrition coach, public speaker, influencer, and businesswoman. While my true passion lies in adventure — particularly physical challenges — I’m driven by a deeper purpose: to inspire and motivate others to become fitter, stronger, and more confident. Through personal training and public speaking, I aim to share my journey and encourage others to shift their mindset and seek out their unique path toward adventure and fulfillment.
At just 4 months old, I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a condition that has shaped my perspective on life in profound ways. From an early age, I was told I might not live to see my teens, let alone reach 30 and at 19 years old my prognosis was bleak with only a couple of years to live. Rather than accept those limitations, I used them as fuel to live life to the fullest. This experience has given me a unique outlook and cemented my belief that everyone can achieve something extraordinary, no matter their circumstances. All it takes is the courage to pursue your adventure and live life on your terms.
I’ve taken on a wide range of challenges since stepping into the world of endurance sports. I’ve competed in 100km ultra-marathons, earned third place in an 80-mile paddleboard race, and completed the grueling Land’s End to John o’ Groats (LEJOG) challenge. I’ve scaled Mont Blanc, Kilimanjaro, and Gran Paradiso, participated in 200-mile relays, and completed a self-supported Ultra Ironman.
One of my proudest achievements is setting a world record by running 36 marathons in 36 days. And the adventure continues — as I write this, I’m preparing to take on the New York City Marathon.
Over the years I have managed CF during both times of being well, and hard times of being unwell or in the hospital, through the power of fitness and moving my body in ways I could, remaining in routine with my medications and everyday life, focusing on the things I can control, challenging myself, and having very supportive people around me to help me mentally and physically strong as I can. Building strength and resilience is something I truly believe in when faced with adversity. Knowing you can deal with hard things daily helps you overcome them when they come into your life.
Throughout my journey, I’ve been fortunate to be featured in magazines like, Hello!, Vogue, Women’s Health, Women’s Fitness, and even on the cover of Best Life magazine. I’ve also had the opportunity to teach and speak on stages ranging from London’s Olympic Park to BeFit and I have been working with online platforms since 2013.
Public speaking has allowed me to share my story with a wide audience. I’ve been honored to speak at events for global law firms, corporate organizations, schools, universities, and charities. Whether addressing an audience of 1,000 or appearing on podcasts, radio shows, or ITV’s This Morning, I always aim to leave people with a message of hope, resilience, and the belief that they, too, can achieve greatness.
My journey has shown me that life is an adventure waiting to be embraced. Whether through fitness, endurance, or personal growth, I hope to continue inspiring others to take on challenges, pursue their dreams, and live boldly on their own terms.
