My approach is realistic, practical and always comes with empathy and
understanding. We will work together to set realistic goals and develop a plan
that is achievable for you. Find out why I'm so passionate about helping women
create a healthy lifestyle .... I'm Kirsty, a 52 year old who has been working
in the health and fitness industry for over 30 years. Having been a keen
sportsperson from a young age, I know first-hand what exercise has done for me
in my life. This helped develop my passion for helping others to learn the
benefits of exercise for themselves. As a mum of two boys who has lived through
divorce, car accidents, broken ribs, a gall bladder operation, heart
palpitations and a prolapsed disk, my life has certainly had its ups and downs.
As a working mum, I have juggled bringing up my boys with both full and
part-time employment, whilst using evenings and weekends to set up my private
fitness business, teach classes and support women. So I know what it’s like to
be a busy woman …. What I have learnt…. How our life’s journey affects our
health, the impact of life’s pressures and just being a busy mum. We often find
it is hard to put ourselves first, but neglecting our own health and wellbeing
can cause weight gain, reduce energy levels, affect sleep and how we cope with
stress. This can eventually lead to low self-esteem, anxiety and depression.
While recovering from various illnesses and injuries, I have learnt that
planning, preparation and determination are essential. It is this positive
mindset that I'd like to pass on to my clients. What I can do for you….
Sometimes we need to take stock of where we are, what we want to achieve and set
goals to help us take control of our future. I can help you understand how to
achieve your goals and appreciate what changes you need to make. I can guide you
to take manageable steps towards lifestyle changes and overcome barriers that
may have prevented you from achieving things in the past. I have developed a
passion for women’s health from pre & post-natal exercise to menopause and older
women. As I started the menopause early and have tried a variety of methods to
relieve the symptoms including HRT, I wanted to learn more about the effects of
menopause on women. By understanding what happens to our bodies on an almost
scientific bases I begun to realise how menopause has such an impact on so many
aspects of our minds and bodies. It has become such an interesting journey
learning more about menopause and how we need to change the way we eat,
exercise, sleep, deal with stress and so much more. I am continually learning
and researching women’s health. Every time I do a course one of the groups will
ask another new question and I will do my best to go away and find out an answer
if I do not know it myself. This us how I will learn with you. We will celebrate
wins however small, recognising achievements can help us visualise the end goal
and that it is reachable. Working flexibly to find exercise that you like, foods
you enjoy and habits that are sustainable. Let’s do this … my aim is to create a
healthy lifestyle together.
