I qualified in the fitness industry in 1994 and started working in 4 gyms. I quit my office job and started personal training and also led 13 group fitness classes a week.
- Next dream was to have my own business.
- I encouraged my husband to quit his job and qualified in the fitness industry.
- We opened our own Personal training business in 1999 in Narre Warren and called ourselves WAM personal training. We operated for 14 years and had 13 trainers working for us.
- We juggled family life, and our daughters went through their teenage years and into adults during this time.
- We grew out of our original shop front and brought a factory which served our needs for more space. We became very busy but again I became bored. I had more dreams for myself.
- I went to Brisbane and qualified in the highest level of mat pilates teaching in 2007
- 2 years later I studied in Byron Bay for my Yoga teaching qualifications. This journey changed my life forever. I learnt so much about myself and what was important to me.
In 2013 we sold our business. We sold our family home of 35 years. We downsized and moved to Port Melbourne, into an apartment.
Wanting to keep my clients, some of them who had been with me since I started, I hired space in Narre Warren. I condensed my business to 2 days a week and reinvented myself. I Love balance emerged. I taught classes, yoga, Pilates classes and personal/functional training on these days and qualified in Reform Pilates.
My husband has retired and now I have more balance in my life.
I work with some private clients in their homes, and I work with clients in a couple of gyms. I now have the wonderful opportunity to work at Health 104 and I am excited to join this beautiful community and share my passion.
There is a lot more to my story but this this the short story.
