I am a Martial Arts, Fitness and Nutrition Coach. I started my martial arts journey at the age of 4. I was obsessed with dragon ballz, power rangers and ninja turtles and having an older brother that trained it only made sense that my parents enrol me in the local after school karate program. Growing up I was an odd kid, I was overweight and struggling with dyslexia and ADHD. Naturally I was bullied pretty severely, however martial arts taught me the discipline and focus I needed to rebuild myself. Truth be told I didn’t like myself very much and whenever I was picked on I thought I deserved it. There was also a part of me that thought I was special, probably because I watched so much anime. So through martial arts and fitness I transformed both my body and myself. I became someone I liked and confident and before long the bullying stopped and I started to enjoy life. Martial arts became a super power, it was something I was good at an obsessed with. The dojo became somewhere I felt powerful, somewhere I fit in and a safe haven. Throughout my Journey I became very sick, needing not one but 2 liver transplants. When I was 16 I was told I had 6 months to live. Martial arts fed the fire that was already inside me and taught me to fight, to face adversity, to never give up and here I am 15 years later, countless procedures and surgeries later thriving. I owe my life to this art. Learning martial arts has allowed to live such full life, to be comfortable and confident in my skin. It has allowed me to travel the world and been the foundation on which I built my dreams. Simply put, in my decade coaching I have seen martial arts transform countless lives for the better and that is my mission to make the world a better place by inspiring and empowering people to transform themselves and live their healthiest happiest life.
