For years it was extreme restriction, extra cardio, the all-or-nothing approach where I was “perfect” until I wasn’t. I’d lose the weight, then within weeks it would start to pile back on, and more. I was frustrated, at war with my body and constantly doing mental maths about what I could and couldn’t eat, hiding from photos and withdrawing from social occasions. Exhausted.

Breaking the cycle for me wasn’t about more discipline. It was learning the RECOMP method: understanding my own body and what it actually needed, moving away from the all-or-nothing mindset around food and building muscle instead of just chasing a scale number. That’s when the noise around every meal finally went quiet and I found food freedom, and the results stayed, even through busy seasons, weekends away and holidays. That’s when I knew I’d found the unlock every woman needs to know.

My path into health didn’t start in a gym though. It started in the back of an ambulance. Years working as an Emergency Medical Technician showed me what happens when we don’t prioritise our physical and mental health. This led me to pursue a more preventative approach to health and wellness. I went on to open my own Pilates studio, where I watched women build strength and confidence in their bodies and themselves. Then followed a deep dive into evidence-based nutrition, women’s physiology and strength training. This is when the RECOMP method took shape, and Recomp Revolution was born: the method I wish I’d had from the start.

I believe strength, movement and nutrition are powerful tools, not just for how we look and feel, but for preventing the issues we later try to treat. My goal is to help women find that same freedom in their bodies, so they can move through life with confidence and energy, and finally love the body they’re in.
