About our Coach

I believe that a good, flexible diet is a key piece of the puzzle when looking to achieve long term health and fitness goals. Teaching the principles of how to structure an inclusive and varied diet around a busy lifestyle is my top priority when working with clients.

Philosophy & Background

From experience of working with clients with different backgrounds from all over the world, I have found that the key to success is empowering them through education to have the confidence to build varied diets to suit their training, performance or body composition goals. All too often you see people crash dieting, losing a bit of weight, then regaining the weight and more. The term ‘diet’ implies an end or a restricted period of time. My primary objective is to overhaul the relationship my clients have with food, reshape non-optimal habits that have developed over a lifetime, and see that they get the most out of the education I provide.

Experience & Specialisation Areas

I first gained interest in, and realized the importance of, good nutrition whilst working at a Thai Boxing camp in Phuket, Thailand.  During this time I helped professional Muay Thai fighters with weight management between fights and assisting further with safe weight cutting strategies for big events such as Thai Fight and Max Muay Thai. From that base, I met a wide range of people from all walks of life and have subsequently worked with clients in New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, Germany and the UK. My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, martial arts performance, weight cutting strategies, body composition improvement, endurance performance, strength and muscle gain, improved eating habits, and nutrition education. I can provide a softer coaching approach where habits are changed in a timely and reasonable manner, at the clients’ pace, or, for the super motivated, a more intensive approach can be applied.
