Travelling and exploring the world, being active outdoors, or sleeping.
You always regret the things you don’t do more than the things you do.
Arranging family time and meet-ups with close friends. I’m a firm believer in a healthy work-life balance.

Our mindset is one of the few things in life we have complete control over. You can choose how you see the world and yourself. And likewise, be thankful that you have control over your fitness and the way you look and feel. So take accountability for your fitness and your mindset. It’s yours to own and influence.
If you don’t have a dream, how is it going to come true?
I love to sweat out everyday but I hate getting sweaty palms when I’m nervous.
Mothers who keep fit! Staying active can be quite challenging with all the tasks and responsibilities that come with being a mum. I am inspired to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle which I hope to share with my own family in the future.
So many things. I find it great having my exercise and nutrition programs organised and easy to follow. I’m always learning something new from our expert team. And I love all that Active8me stands for and represents – inspiring and equipping people to live a healthy, active lifestyle and realize their potential.
In winter, hopefully snowboarding somewhere in Europe. In the summer, likely the beach or next to a pool.
I have a passion for the more active, exercise physiology side of therapy. So I love that positive feedback loop of inspiring people who maybe wouldn’t have discovered a passion for better movement and ability otherwise.
On one hand the many clients that I coach (and have coached) inspire me. The ones that push themselves once they get a taste of what they can achieve. My initial goal is to inspire them towards fitness, but in turn, once they are on their way, they inspire me. It’s a really positive and symbiotic cycle. And also the Rock! It might sound cliche, but he’s undeniable and just has the most incredible work ethic. And his ability to stay humble despite all his successes is inspiring.
Run your own race. Comparison is the thief of joy. It also is an unproductive waste of time.
I used to be a ballerina and pianist. Hence my passion for dance and music!
A healthy lifestyle is a choice we can all choose to make, and a commitment that doesn’t have to feel forced. Of course, there’s a stage for learning and adjustment, but it eventually must turn into something that’s naturally occurring, something we enjoy doing. And this is why I love Active8me
Listening to music or reading a book. Or working out!
The whole program not only provides workouts or recipes, it teaches you to make that change and weaves health and fitness into your daily activities and choices. I love how it is designed to be holistic – from exercise to nutrition to mindset to holistic health. And I love how it is geared to provide members with lasting benefits – real change that lasts!
Training harder isn’t always the answer. Sometime we need to train smarter to improve.
Breaking the Australian record in the 10,000m at Stanford University. It was one of those dream nights where everything came together. Becoming the fastest Australian in history over the 10,000m is a huge honour.
Aimed at making sure you will get the most benefit from your effort – helping you to make great progress towards (and beyond) your running goals. The program is specifically designed from countless running sessions I have done myself.
I have knowledge and tools to make people’s lives better. That gives me great satisfaction.
Don’t ever take your health for granted. It is precious. It can’t be bought or bartered. Living a healthy active life with exercise and good nutrition is not only good for the body, it is good for the mind and good for your life overall.

Have goals. You need to know what you want to achieve and then work out those steps on how you were going to achieve it. Know that you will have highs and lows on your journey, you will always learn something about yourself from those lows to keep your eyes looking forward and never forget your dream.
