Growing up I had a really unhealthy relationship with both food and any physical exercise that led me out of my comfort zone which was pretty much everything. I saw food as my comfort and escape and didn’t believe that there was any point in even trying to better myself. I felt I had gone too far down a road where I felt worthless and like completely giving up. I was overweight, unhealthy and very unhappy.

After going through several eating disorders, numerous attempts of weight loss programs, fad diets and globo gym memberships I decided that something really needed to change, to essentially save my life. I was lucky enough to meet Adam (Founder of Primal Mvmnt) who throughout our relationship has taught me to be the best version of myself, live a healthy and fulfilled life and most importantly love what I do.

He encouraged me to join a local functional fitness boot camp he was running around 9 years ago. I was terrified and nearly didn’t attend the first class, I was still recovering from bulimia and anxiety would lead me to carrying out old coping strategies that had worked in the past to gain some form of control of situations I felt lost in. This meant turning up dehydrated and starved of energy. But I showed up, gave it my all and after completing a workout full of burpees and commando crawls in the mud I soon realised that showing up was the best decision I ever made. I soon realised I was not worthless, I could succeed in what I set out to do and that my health and happiness was just as important as the person standing next me. Slowly but surely my confidence grew and I fell in love with fitness, taking care of myself and enjoying the benefits from the work I put in.

Over the years I continued to train and took part in competitive Crossfit competitions against some absolutely amazing athletes. As time went on I decided that all the help and support I had received that turned my life around was something that I wanted to be able to give back to others. I started shadowing coach led classes and took my level 1 CrossFit training course and now a qualified Nutrition Coach. I also organised and led mental health coffee mornings in aid of spreading the word of how important both physical and mental wellness is.

I absolutely love being on the team at Primal Mvmnt. Being both a Coach (Fitness and Nutrition) and the Customer Success Manager is an absolute pleasure. I am privileged enough to not only be in a position where I can listen, support and provide the best experience possible for each member but to also guide and encourage them to reach their personal health and fitness goals. Best Job Ever!
