Sacred Experience

A dream body is a nice thing to aspire to, but it is often the last step of the process. Of greater importance is whether your body is pain free and functional. Can it do what you need it to do? So for instance, if you are a mum, can you pick up your baby without suffering back or neck pain? If you are an office worker, do you need to treat some RSI so that you can work better at your desk? Do you have trauma stored in the body or prior injuries? There is not much point looking great on the outside if you are constantly suffering on the inside. So these initial factors must be addressed first.

I love clients who engage with me in their problem-solving. It is often the case, for instance, that some clients are working through a challenge that has held them back. So perhaps they have never been consistent with exercise before, and they are looking for consistency. Or perhaps they have prior injuries and we need to work through and experiment with a range of different exercises to find healing. Either way, when the client chooses to engage in the problem-solving and is willing to be open and experimental, I find it very satisfying, because it gives us a great chance of making progress.

I spent several years working on the wrong things, and suffered from generalised fatigue and burnout. Eventually, after much suffering, I put all the things I liked in life into a big pile and built a business structure around them with an underlying esoteric framework. Now I have much more energy.

I call my approach Integrated Training because I aim to get fitness to become an ally in your life rather than an enemy. Your fitness program should work for you and it should empower you in other life domains. It should fit around your work and your responsibilities and enhance your capacity to live life fully and with greater joy. This approach is very different from simply being smashed. It is far kinder, and far more sustainable.

Yes. I have a flexible delivery model that allows for online training or coaching via Skype or Zoom. If you work with me only online, I will also send you a yoga mat and a booty band set at the start of the engagement, which will enable you to have some basic equipment to commence exercise with.

I developed a COVID-19 safety plan recently for a fitness program I ran recently for the ACT government. As part of this I was required to read, understand and operate within the ACT Government COVID safety guidelines. During lockdown, we also moved to online only training, but since then, we have also ensured good practice by social distancing, hand sanitising, avoiding physical contact with others and sanitising fitness equipment in between uses.
