I've been running for 28 years, since winning my first zone cross country in 1997. I've competed at national track level in the 400m, raced trail ultras up to 45km representing Australia at the World Trail Championships, and run a sub-3-hour marathon. After years of coaching myself and plateauing, working with a coach finally got me there — and it changed how I train and coach - smarter not harder.

I believe training smart beats training hard: listening to your body, not overriding it, and building a running life that lasts. Every program I write is built around the individual athlete, never a template, with strength, mobility, nutrition and mindset woven in alongside the running itself.

I hold a Bachelor of Health Science (PDHPE), a Diploma of Education, a Remedial Massage Diploma and Sports Massage Certificate IV, a Diploma of Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training, and Level 1 Recreational Running Coach accreditation, and I'm currently completing further study in strength and conditioning.

I coach junior athletes in squad and private sessions across track events, plus speed and conditioning for young field-sport athletes. On the adult side, I coach beginner through advanced trail, half marathon and marathon runners online via TrainingPeaks, with individualised programs and weekly check-ins.

As a mum of two, I coach around real life, not the other way around — and I'm still chasing my own goals, working toward all six World Marathon Majors with Berlin next.
