With over 10 years in the fitness industry, I’ve helped hundreds of women transform their bodies—and their lives—through movement and a powerful ‘can-do’ mindset.
I’m a Level 2 & 3 qualified PT, Kettlebell L1 certified, and proud to have been a finalist in both the Mighty Women Awards (2019) and NI B-Fit Awards (2025) for Female PT of the Year.
Empowering women is at the heart of what I do. I believe exercise is a tool for building confidence, self-worth, and lasting wellbeing. My goal is to help women achieve what they once thought was out of reach—through strength, resilience, and body positivity. I focus on realistic goals that fit your lifestyle and pride myself on being honest, relatable, and genuinely invested in each client’s journey.
I absolutely love what I do—nothing brings me more joy than seeing my clients glow and grow in confidence, inside and out.

I’m a mum of three boys (plus one very needy—but gorgeous—furry boy!). Before stepping into the fitness world, I spent 20 years working in public service, and before that, I flew as cabin crew.
I’m incredibly passionate about mental health awareness. My own journey through loss, grief, trauma, and hormone imbalance led me to seek support through physical exercise—with Esther as my coach. That experience opened my eyes to just how powerful movement can be—not only for the body, but for the mind.
I found strength in fitness, and even more in the support of like-minded women. The community I discovered extended beyond the gym, creating friendships and support systems that helped me truly thrive.
Now, I’m committed to helping other women experience the same. I believe in creating a calm, caring space where self-care, mental wellbeing, and physical fitness go hand in hand. Alongside Esther and our amazing team, our goal is to offer a gym that feels like comfort, confidence, and camaraderie—a place where every woman belongs.
With over 20 years in public service, I bring strong, transferable skills in leadership, organisation, budgeting, procurement, HR, and customer service. I also have experience in sub-managing teams, ensuring compliance, and delivering high-quality service—all essential to successfully co-owning and running a gym.

I danced through my teenage years and have always been a gym lover—fitness has been my escape in the chaos of life. I’m a wife, mum to three amazing kids (and two fur babies!), juggling a full-time job while making time for my passion: movement.
Dance and Step aerobics have always been my thing. When Esther shared her vision for Glow Up, I knew I had to be part of it. We agreed my strength lies in bringing energy, rhythm, and fun to fitness, so I’ve been creating classes and earning my Level 2 Exercise to Music qualification.
Like many women, I’m still on my own fitness journey. At 46 years young, I understand the challenges—but I believe in showing up, doing our best, and having fun. Fitness isn’t just about how we look—it’s about feeling strong, confident, and empowered.
Through Dancefit and our signature Glow Up Energy Class, I’m here to help you move, sweat, smile, and most of all—Glow Up.

I’m a dedicated Personal Trainer specialising in weight loss, body recomposition, and strength building. My mission is to help women feel strong, confident, and proud of their bodies—both inside and outside the gym.
I love what I do because I get to support people in transforming not just their physique, but their mindset. Watching clients build confidence, improve their relationship with training, and realise what they’re truly capable of is why I show up every day.
Empowering, sustainable, and results-driven coaching is at the heart of everything I offer.

With over 10 years of experience in the fitness industry as a Level 3 Personal Trainer and mindset coach, I now focus on supporting women over 45 to lose fat, build strength, and manage stress in a sustainable way.
After navigating my own challenges with physical and mental health, I understand how difficult it can be to feel comfortable and confident in your body again.
That’s why I bring together fitness and mindfulness, to help women reconnect with their strength, lose belly fat, and finally feel good about their body and themselves again rom the inside out.
