Originally from Cumbria, my coaching journey began in Spain 2007, where I studied before moving to Glasgow to start my career in the industry. Since then, coaching has taken me to Brisbane and London before bringing me back to Scotland, where I’m now based in Edinburgh with my family.

In Brisbane, I worked in some of Australia’s leading strength and conditioning facilities. These gyms regularly hosted workshops with highly respected coaches from across the fitness world, from gymnastics to Olympic weightlifting. Being surrounded by that knowledge gave me the opportunity to learn, explore different approaches and develop the way I coach today.

In London, I worked in boutique studios with private and high-profile clients, tailoring sessions to individual goals, demanding schedules and different levels of experience. Across both cities, I learnt how much good coaching depends on understanding the person in front of you.

Alongside my work, martial arts have been a big part of my life. My background includes wrestling, Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing and capoeira—each bringing a different perspective on movement, discipline and performing under pressure. I also run a martial arts school for preschool children, helping them develop coordination, balance, confidence and discipline through play and fun.

My introduction to breathwork was much more personal. After experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, I began exploring how my breathing affected the way I felt. Breathwork became a turning point, transforming how I manage stress, respond to challenges and live day to day. As I explored further, breathing also became an important part of my athletic development. It changed how I approached effort, recovery and staying composed under pressure, connecting my personal experience with my work as a coach.

That experience led me to study breathwork professionally. I hold a CPCAB Level 3 qualification in breathwork and am an Advanced Oxygen Advantage® and Advanced SOMA Breath® instructor. My work now spans functional breathing, sports performance, stress management and conscious connected breathwork.

Today, I bring these experiences together to help people build strength, move with confidence and understand their breathing. Whether you’re starting out, developing a skill or working towards a sporting goal, my aim is to give you practical tools, thoughtful support and the confidence to keep progressing.
