I've experienced many great things; from regaining my identity to the competitive stage, photo shoots and everywhere in between. My motivation is to use my own experiences to help others take back control.

To me being fit and healthy isn't just about being physically fit, it's also about being mentally fit. Whilst physical fitness is important to me in order to enjoy my young family, it's also just as important to be happy and confident in your own skin.
When I became a Mum for the first time it was a little overwhelming. I felt self-conscious and had lost my confidence. That coupled with a sudden family bereavement meant that I found myself in a really vulnerable place mentally. Cue anxiety and panic attacks!
With that in check, and after having my second child, I decided to get back in shape. I still lacked confidence and self-esteem - I had lost sight of myself and felt guilty for wanting to take some time to focus on me and my well being. The turning point for me was one day looking at myself thinking "who is that girl?". It didn't look like me and I didn't want to feel that way anymore.
For me, coming to the gym and doing something just for me has helped me mentally first and be all-round healthier and happier in my own skin.
