I have a Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification and I am REPS registered. I also have a Level 2 Gym Instructor Certificate and a diploma in Sports Psychology.

I have been training in the Japanese Martial Art of Shorinji Kempo for over 20 years and have been teaching for over 10 years. I have achieved the grade of 3rd Dan Black Belt , trained and competed in Japan as well as organising and teaching ladies self defence classes.

Horse riding and competing in equestrian events have been a part of my life since childhood.

I have been weight training at the gym for nearly 20 years and have competed in NABBA & EFBB figure classes.

Other activities I have been involved in for many years include skiing, ice skating, yoga, tai-chi, running and aerobics. I also taught strength & toning, swiss ball, core strength and circuits classes at Panthers Gym in Cowley.

As a mature exerciser myself I believe that age is no barrier to fitness or to learning new things to enrich your life!
