Home, As I Know It Now
I was born and bred in central London and honestly thought I’d never ever leave!
Motherhood reshaped me and I no longer felt London suited me and my young family.
So almost 4 years ago we chose something different and moved to Hove.
I have two wonderful Children 7 and 5 yrs.
Raising my 5 yr old autistic, pre verbal son
has deepened me in ways nothing else could. It has taught me patience, regulation and a strength that I never knew I had.
At 39 I understand my energy differently -my ADHD, my nervous system, my need for movement that supports real life rather than escapes it.
I move for longevity. Clarity. Alignment.
Hom(e) -the Home of Movement -grew from this chapter.
Not from aesthetics.
From deep awareness.
Movement has always brought me back to myself. Again and again.
Now Hom(e) is the place I created to do the same for you.
Fitness and a whole lotta of fake tan
This chapter of my life involved a lot of fake tan and some very shredded muscles! I was competing at a time when hardly anyone in the UK really knew what these fitness/bodybuilding shows were and Instagram had only just begun.
I was proud that I won a few medals along the way and got to travel to places like Toronto, Iceland and New York to compete. It was a season that taught me discipline, resilience and how powerful it can feel to truly commit to something! Those lessons still shape the coach I am today - helping others build strength, confidence and a deeper connection with their bodies.
Pregnancy and presence
For me pregnancy was really the first time I truly let myself slow down & embrace my changing body. For the first time in years, my hormones felt more balanced & my mind calmer (what I later would understand was due to me having PMDD and ADHD).
I kept active & trained daily after the sicky first 12 wks but pregnancy training was completely different from my competition days!
I was no longer pushing or sculpting a stage body it was about moving in a way that felt nourishing, slowing down & allowing myself to soften.
For the first time, I could really enjoy my body without a goal to complete or a stage to prepare for.
This was the time I first discovered how clear and present I could really feel.
Family is everything
Family is at the centre of my life and becoming a mother has also shaped the way I show up for the women I coach.
It’s taught me patience, understanding and how important it is to carve out time for yourself.
Home of Movement is built on that belief - a place to move, reset and feel supported all while navigating real life.
An interview with my younger self…
Q: In 2012-2016 What did you think success looked like?
Looking back at the time sticking to my goals, staying extremely disciplined and achieving what I set my mind to was my purpose. It was what got me up (very early!) in the am. I wanted to become a Pro athlete with the Wbff and I did.
In terms of my PT career helping my clients feel good and achieve their goals was always my number 1 driver & made me feel a sense of pride.
Q: What do you think you were really chasing?
I now know I was trying to find myself and work out who I was in this world and what was my purpose. I never knew how I wanted to feel or look & I think I was looking for an answer
Q: What did you love most about this season of your life?
I love the discipline I had, the desire, the energy I felt from training and fuelling myself like an athlete. I felt physically amazing most days.
Q: What did it cost you?
A lot good meals out! I used to have to prep my meals on holidays while my family were having fish and chips on the beach or pizza at gorg Italian restaurants. I probably missed out on a lot of fun sometimes esp if I had a show coming up
Q: What do you know now that you didn’t know then?
A: Strength isn’t just how lean you look. It’s how aligned and grounded you are!
I was never spiritual back then and had very little self awareness. I feel like I always lived in the future prepping for shows, wanting to be better and not enjoying the present day.
