Keeping fit and healthy has always been an integral part of my life. In my early years I was a gymnast and a swimmer,
in my teens I added my love for nature and the outdoors, combining running, rowing and horse riding.
Later on, through studies and then career I found myself living in a huge city where only gyms were available.
Things changed drastically and I had no choice but to wake up at 4.30am in order to start training at a busy city gym at 5.30 am.
This would then be followed by a very long day at work which could often consist of 12 to 14 hours.
The green spaces around me were so very limited and nature became almost a luxury which I could only indulge in by
travelling to the countryside on weekends. During this time, I didn't feel the same, somehow, I became less balanced,
not as happy, nor as relaxed. Growing up around nature as a child then suddenly having all that gone started to show the
first impacting signs on my health.
To compensate I would often go out running along the river during my short lunch break, or late at night,
after work and in the dark, just so that I could be outside. Only then I was able to rebalance and feel whole again.
Connection with Nature
I was very blessed to be born close to meadows, mountains, sea and even lakes.
My daily activities always included losing myself in nature where I could immerse myself for hours getting all I needed at once.
Needless to say, many of my clients now follow my approach and love exercising with an open minded indoors-outdoors approach.
Exercise and Wellbeing
I always feel better when exercising and aim to combine a good balance of exposure to nature,
also mindful of the fact that sunlight is such a major source of vitamin D and even just 15 minutes outside "can be enough"
for us to produce our own, thus helping to avoid long term risks of osteoporosis and other ailments.
I always encourage others to treat their body and listen to all the subtle messages;
our body is like a vessel we borrow for this lifetime, we must care for it,
be in touch with it by feeling and listening so we can give it all the love, respect and compassion it deserves and needs.
The Learning Path
With all these experiences, beliefs and values, many years ago I decided to pursue my passion further than a basic
fitness course and really deepen my knowledge. In my spare time I threw myself into a wider variety of keep fit classes,
then started to attend fitness expos, workshops, and seminars where I met and worked with world renowned presenters.
Having travelled extensively and having lived in four different countries, simply added plenty of opportunities in
exploring different style of fitness, disciplines, trends and also very much teaching in harmony with my spiritual path.
As my passion expanded, I found myself wanting to deepen my knowledge by studying not just fitness for the average healthy person,
but also by supporting more specific segments of the population in need. It has been an amazing journey, I am still
"travelling and discovering" new possibilities every day.
I know my knowledge will forever continue to evolve through my very inquisitive nature and my desire to help others
in the very best way I can.
Where I am now
My own life took me through youth, injuries, miscarriage, pregnancies, motherhood, and even health threats and the start of menopause.
This enables me to connect to others on all levels. Too often the focus on just studies and theory can neglect the aspect of
first-hand practical experience; I feel confident to have both.
When I am with you my time is your time; through listening and discussing any concerns,
I take into consideration your state of mind and physical wellbeing.
If your body for whatever reason has gone through any degree of neglect, we just aim at initiating a gradual,
gentle long-lasting approach, rather than a fast often short-lived discouraging one.
Try not to put yourself under unnecessary pressure, as this will take away the appreciation and pleasure of what you
can achieve and how far you can go. Everything is connected, so preserving this important balance in life is essential to
achieve harmonious wellbeing, starting with us and how we truly care and nurture ourselves.
