44 year old mother of three small and medium sized children. Owner of a small holding in North Suffolk with an alarming array of animals. Plus 4 Springer Spaniels and 3 cats which live, occasionally contentedly, in the house with my husband and long suffering Mother.

I began Personal Fitness training as a profession almost 20 years ago now and have more than lucky with how my work turned out.

From working as a cleaner/odd job girl in a 'Women Only' fitness centre in North London in order to pay for my membership and subsequent training for my qualifications, I managed to get much further in my career than I every could have dreamed of.

I managed to write 6 international selling health and fitness books (translated into 12 languages), I put together 2 fitness DVDS alongside Channel 4 and WHSmith, was Fitness Editor of 'Women's Health' magazine for many years. I was also 'expert' on 'Pregnancy' and 'Baby and you' magazines too. I appeared on a reasonable amount of daytime TV (This Morning/GMTV/Channel five/Livetime), wrote and was in a short series of TV programmes based up in Liverpool and the North West, and did lots of radio stuff (my favourite).

I always promised myself that if I did not teach or do any fitness of my own I would never write about it or lecture others. There are loads of fitness book writers, dvd makers, journalists and even personal trainers that do not have any teaching experience of Mr and Mrs Average (a horrible term but necessary for this purpose). Every New Year we see loads of fitness DVDS bought out by ‘celebrity's’ none of which, I can guarantee, spent more than a couple of hours actually being involved with that particular fitness instructor or fitness ideas. It is something that really gets me cross!!!

My clients were occasionally famous and/or rich, HOWEVER my favourite clients have always been and I am sure will remain so, ordinary people just like me and my family and friends who just need a bit of a helping hand with realising their fitness goals, you will just have to let me prove that to you or speak to some or my existing clients.
