I started weight training in 2009, picking up basic training principles and workouts from bodybuilding websites, intending to feel and look stronger and fitter. Despite my initial cluelessness and lack of a structured plan, I quickly experienced the empowering effects of training, both physically and mentally. After nearly a year of self-guided progress, I realised I needed expert guidance to continue to get results.

In October 2010, I became a client at Biologic Labs in Brisbane, Australia, under the guidance of body recomposition expert Damon Hayhow. It was there that I learned how to deadlift for the first time and was introduced to a nutrition plan with far more calories than I was used to. This was a transformative shift in my approach to training and nutrition—and it worked. Within just three months, I saw significant strength gains, dramatic improvements in my body composition, and felt better than ever before. I was hooked, and this experience set the foundation for my passion for evidence-based training and nutrition.

This process boosted my confidence, strengthened my mindset, and instilled a deep sense of discipline and work ethic that positively impacted every aspect of my professional and personal life. The knowledge I gained during this time was truly life-changing. Motivated to push even further, I set some bigger strength and body composition goals. In 2011, I competed in the state IFBB competition, placing 2nd in Figure Novice. The following year, I competed in the state GPC 'Push/Pull' Powerlifting Competition, where I set a national record in the Open Women’s bench press and deadlift.

Shortly after this success, I was given the amazing opportunity to become a coach myself, working at Biologic La, so I happily left my office job behind to become a certified Recomp Coach (the first female to earn this certification in Australia). To earn this, I completed the ASCA Strength Coach accreditation and ISSN Sports Nutritionist certification, along with many hours of hands-on experience in the gym under the mentorship of Damon Hayhow.

After several years working at Biologic Labs, learning and growing as a coach, helping many clients achieve their goals, I joined the Recomp HQ team from 2013 to early 2023. During this period, I had the privilege of coaching even more clients to achieve remarkable body recomposition results. I truly came into my own, building an amazing and loyal client base and even guiding several clients to compete and place in the top 3 at national powerlifting competitions.

Since May 2023, I have proudly operated my own business on the Gold Coast in Australia, offering coaching services both online and face to face at the boutique gym Body Temple. It has been an honor to continue working with many of the clients I coached during my time at Recomp HQ, and helping many more turn their dreams of a stronger, healthier body and lifestyle into reality. I am passionate about helping people achieve life-changing results through structured training and nutrition, just as I did for myself, and I look forward to helping you if you choose me as your coach.
