About ENHANCE PT

Unlike other colleagues in the fitness industry, I have no background in sports or fitness. I have always been very active but I have learned that active does not mean you are fit, strong or healthy.

A back injury in my early 40s was the catalyst for my own personal journey into health and fitness. To the surprise of many I have often stated that stepping off a ladder while still half a metre above ground onto a concrete floor was the best thing that could have happened to me. Although it may sound odd, this injury forced me to get my health and fitness into order which occurred over a period of years under the guidance of one of the finest personal trainers in Brisbane. It was during this journey that I found my passion to want to help guide people into a stronger, fitter and healthier version of themselves.

I’m fifty and I’ve never felt happier, healthier, stronger or more energised. Fitness is not a one size fits all equation and the truth of the matter is that you don’t have to work out like a crazy person to achieve results. I don’t enjoy going to gyms and I certainly don’t respond well to anyone yelling or screaming at me while I am exercising, let alone pushing me until I either collapse or vomit. While I recognise that some people do like to go to boot camps and be pushed beyond their natural limits, that’s not a service that we offer at Enhance PT.

Being fit and healthy isn’t just about exercise. It’s a whole-of-life approach which needs to be balanced between what we eat, how the body works, how we think, as well as how we move and how often.

My special interest groups are:

Seniors aged 65+ focusing on mobility, strength and flexibility improvement. I have been witness to remarkable changes in people’s abilities through incorporating simple and regular guided exercise into their lives. I am passionate about keeping our older population moving freely, living independently and living stronger (through injury prevention) for as long as possible.

I have always been active whether it be playing sport at school (softball, netball, orienteering) or involved in outside school activities such as swimming and hockey.

I’ve been playing hockey since I was six and also coached hockey for about 10 years (junior girls 13-18 year olds).

I started training with a personal trainer to improve my fitness for hockey and was intrigued by what they did so decided that I would give it a shot. I’ve now been working as a personal trainer for the last five years.

I’ve been attending pilates classes for the last two years which I really enjoy.

I love animals and occasionally do some pet sitting. In my spare time I love to read, watch TV, go to the movies and spend time with friends.

I am passionate about working with the older generation and helping them to be more mobile. It’s great to see them getting results and still being active and enjoying themselves. I also enjoy working with people who have injuries/restrictions, helping them to strengthen or work around their issues and get back to doing what they love.

I recently graduated as a remedial massage therapist. I was inspired to add to my skill set and be able to further help improve my clients’ function as well as helping people to overcome injury and muscle issues.

My path to a career in fitness began as a child. I was always in to sport and fitness my whole childhood and then into adulthood. I experimented with athletics, basketball, netball, water polo, surfing, rowing and rock climbing, but I really fell in love with swimming. I was swimming competitively from about 10 years old til I was 17. Dry training for swimming in a gym environment is where I discovered a entirely different interest in fitness and training.

I gained my Cert III in fitness through TAFE QLD in 2018 to help further my knowledge for my own fitness but ended up being very intrigued and passionate about the industry. I am excited to continue on this path furthering my qualifications and myself, as well as training and helping others continue their own fitness journeys and acheive their desired results!

In my own time I love to camp and go adventuring with my close friends. I also love spending weekends at the beach or with my adorable dogs.
