ORIGIN STORY
In 2010 I was 37 and living in Melbourne. I decided that I wanted to see how fit I could get by the time I was 40. I joined my local Crossfit gym. I was training, climbing and labouring for a job leaving me unable to recover physically from each day. I was unaware of how cumulative physical stress affects human beings. It took me 6 months for my body to say ‘enough’!
Thus began a 15 year journey…..of life, learning, parenthood, training and coaching.
During these years I travelled around Australia with my now fiance, Ellise.
I was initiated into and schooled in the ways of ‘mens work’; Men and boys, sitting in circle and community together, telling the truth and the stories of life. Supporting each other into healthier masculinity, raising social and emotional health.
Once we finished travelling, Ellise and I nested on Victoria’s Surf Coast. There we birthed our first child, Mila who is now 9. And 6 years later we had our second child Remy, now he is 3.
I started my career as a Climbing and Exercise coach and have sustained 15 years of Coaching, Training & continued education in Health and Fitness, continually showing up. I now help clients develop and sustain a healthy fitness and training lifestyle.
I have had 50+ 1:1 clients with great outcomes, ran many workshops and group sessions for my own business and our local climbing gym, The Rock.
Now, at 50, I am very well connected through the climbing community, to people of all ages; primary school kids through to elders. And I place high value on this.
I am a highly skilled coach and facilitator of groups. I regularly make myself available to mentor others and pursue my own mentors.
On this 15 year journey, I have been given to understand the holistic nature and complexities of human health and adult maturation.
Living a full life of learning and growing, I relish the responsibility that my journey holds and keenly seek out opportunities to support human health and grow my skills further as I take on the expansive stages of life.
