Despite having a deep love for health and fitness, I didn't always understand what was good and bad advice. Looking back to when I was younger, I lapped up what the media fed me and, as a result, had an unhealthy relationship with health and fitness. I was calorie restricting, popping diet pills, sipping on skinny teas, over-exercising, and I even lost my period for a year.

After years of my own research on proper nutrition and exercise (based on scientific research) and graduating top of my class with distinction as a personal trainer at ETA College, I now lead a truly balanced lifestyle (that doesn't leave me feeling deprived) armed with a healthy mindset as well as an understanding of women's hormones and how we can work with our cycles during each stage of the month.

What sets me apart is my belief that health and fitness is so much more than just aesthetics. Training and eating according to my unique menstrual cycle has been a total game changer for me and my goal and mission is to help as many women as possible to achieve the same results.

Since I started eating and training in a way that honours my unique hormonal fluctuations, I have managed to keep my hormonal acne at bay, fix my PMS symptoms and also have sustained energy levels all month long.

We are not tiny men and our hormones are far more intricate than those of our male counterparts, so it only makes sense that we eat and train differently and in a way that honours each phase of our cycle.
