My story

I know how isolating this stage can feel

I went through menopause at a time when there was far less information and support available. I know firsthand how challenging and confusing that stage of life can be — and it's exactly why I became a personal trainer focused on women in midlife and beyond.

My goal isn't just to train you — it's to teach you. I want every woman I work with to build the knowledge and confidence to eventually walk into a gym and train independently. Progress looks different for everyone, and every achievement counts.

Start where you are

No experience needed — we begin at your level and progress from there.

Knowledge, not just reps

You'll learn what you're doing and why, building real confidence over time.

Support beyond the session

A personalised programme plus ongoing support keeps you progressing each week.

Your questions answered

How much does it cost?

The eight-week 1:1 programme is $450. Individual 30-minute sessions are $55 each. Get in touch to find the right option for you.

What does a typical week look like?

You'll have one 30-minute 1:1 session with me each week, plus a personalised programme to complete independently, with ongoing support and progression throughout.

How quickly will I see results?

Progress is individual, but over eight weeks most clients notice real changes in strength, physical ability and confidence — including feeling more at ease in the gym.

How do I book a session?

Client spots are very limited. Fill in the enquiry form on this page and I'll be in touch to chat about availability and the best way to get started.

Do I need a gym membership?

Sessions are normally held at Snap Fitness Ōamaru. I'll let you know about any gym access or membership requirements before you get started.

Where are you located?

I'm based in Ōamaru, with personal training sessions normally held at Snap Fitness Ōamaru.

What if I'm new to the gym or nervous about starting?

That's absolutely okay. We'll start with a relaxed meet-and-greet consultation at the gym so you can see the space, ask questions and get comfortable before we begin.

What if I've never trained in a gym before?

No previous gym experience needed. I'll teach you each exercise, adapt training to your ability and help you progress at your own pace.

What happens after the eight-week programme?

After each eight-week programme, we have a two-week deload before the next phase — building on your progress with new exercises and challenges.

Are you REPs registered?

Yes, I'm registered with REPs NZ, the recognised professional body for exercise professionals in New Zealand. Visit the REPs website to learn more about what registration involves.
