What Can I Do For You?

With 16 years experience as a level 3 Personal Trainer, I have worked in gyms and run classes but have worked primarily as a 1:1 instructor for the majority of this time. Having worked closely with the GP referral scheme, my passion lies in the field of rehabilitation. I strongly believe that no one should have to be exempt from living an active, fullfilled, healthy lifestyle; it is just a matter of understanding who you are and adapting habits.   

Throughout my career I've assisted many people with a range of chronic health conditions and physical impairments. However, I have focussed most of my time working with, and learning about modern practice in physical rehabilitation post brain injury. More recently, I was one of the lead instructors on a research team at Exeter University. We ran a pilot study called ReTrain; researching the benefits of strength training as a rehabilitation tool for stroke survivors. As predicted, we had hugely varied but positive results. As one of the first instructors to qualify as an ARNI instructor (arni.uk.com), I have helped many stroke survivors adopt fulfilling, fit and healthy lives. Many of whom have successfully rehabilitated affected parts of their body, where the NHS told them they couldn't. Modern research has proven that gains can be made at any age and any point post stroke; it is NOT limited to 6 months post injury. 

Please don't ever suffer in silence. I can help set you up with the opportunity to think what you may have not yet thought, talk about things you avoid saying and dream what you've not yet dreamt. 

"Exercise" can be an anxious concept for many and that is totally understandable. However, it can also be a vital tool in helping people to overcome fears, develop confidence, lose weight, improve general circulation and posture and most of all, get the most out of life.

Since moving to Devon, I have worked on a mobile basis as I have found that visiting people in their homes, or taking people out into the countryside is often more relevant and effective when implementing strategies to improve a persons lifestyle and help them make proactive decisions for themselves. I am about as clinical as a fish is suited to the desert! We are all different, we have lifetimes of experiences that shape who we are and how we react and adapt. Be patient with yourself, quick fixes do not work.

Please drop me a line if you have any questions. Email is often the most effective way to get through to me.
