Tired of losing and regaining weight?
Have you worked your butt off to lose weight only to watch it pile back on?
Are you on GLP-1 medication?
If any of these scenarios apply to you, it’s lovely to meet you! You’ve come to the right place.
Hi, I'm Chi.
I'm a Level 6 nutritionist (with 8 years of experience) and a personal trainer. I help clients get strong and get off the weight rollercoaster - at any age - for good. I do so by sidestepping gimmicks, looking beyond what happens in the gym and going even further by helping you maintain your hard-earned fat loss for good. Together, we’ll focus on:
Guilt-free eating that turbocharges your efforts in the gym and allows for social events and foods you enjoy
Exercise that meets you where you are and builds from there
Recovery that helps you give each workout your all
Creating a mindset that best serves all of the above
A strong, lean, resilient body is the best insurance policy for your health.
Ready to build one? Let’s get started.
ABOUT ME
I'm also a wife and a mother of two delightful girls - aged 16 and 12¾.
Like you, I know what it's like to have a body that seemed to have a mind of its own and to yearn for support and answers.
Over the years (through a gruelling process of trial and error), I've been there, done that and got the proverbial T-shirt. When you boil it down, I’ve - mainly! - been rewiring my brain and creating a new identity, which has inevitably shaped what I repeatedly do and (eventually) my body.
I’ve stopped viewing changes to my body shape as the product of how “good” or “bad” I’ve been. I’ve worked hard on my relationship with food, changed what I eat and made resistance training the cornerstone of my fitness regime. As a result, I am far stronger in my fifties than I ever was in my twenties and I feel as though I have finally come home to myself.
Growing up, I worked out with Jane Fonda and Cindy Crawford via VCR while my brother used a Bullworker daily and had Schwarzenegger posters on his wall. How times have changed! I LOVE my muscles and everything they represent (from long-term health to downright badassery).
My experiences, love of learning and a burning desire to help others prompted me to swap a career in fashion for one in nutrition and - eventually - personal training. It is both my pleasure and privilege to help people like you make their next diet their last.
I am not perfect - I continue to be a work in progress - nor do I have all the answers. I, however:
Eat delicious and nourishing food without ever feeling deprived.
Make strength training and non-gym movement a non-negotiable part of my day.
Spend time in nature as often as I can.
Have a deep and abiding trust in my body to steer me in the right direction.
I am neither unique nor special. I am everything you are - and could be.
I consider myself to be a partner to each of my clients, offering evidence-based and personalised guidance.
