Personal training
Since 2008
10+ years helping people improve strength, fitness, body composition and confidence. The work taught movement, coaching, education and habits that last.
DD Performance & Wellness
Movement
is medicine.
From personal training to mental health nursing to clinical exercise physiology.
Helping people understand their health, overcome barriers and build sustainable change through exercise, education and lifestyle support.
Online and in-person support available
“Health is personal. The right support, knowledge and environment can change lives.”
Three disciplines. One direction.
A journey of experience. A commitment to better health.
Mental health nursing
2023 onwards
Experience across diverse mental health environments deepened understanding of people, behaviour and barriers — and the importance of compassion, communication and person-centred care. This is not a standalone mental health treatment service.
Clinical exercise physiology
MSc student
Currently completing an MSc to develop the clinical knowledge and skills to appropriately prescribe exercise for a wider range of health conditions. A developing path — not a completed CEP service.
I support people who are
Facing challenges that make change difficult.
Life circumstances can affect mental health, motivation, habits and overall wellbeing. I work with people experiencing challenges such as:
Mental health
Depression, anxiety and low mood
Addiction & recovery
Building a healthier relationship with substances
Social isolation
Feeling lonely, disconnected or without support
Low energy & motivation
Struggling to get started or keep going
Poor sleep
Difficulty sleeping or not feeling rested
Physical health
Managing long-term conditions or recovering health
Support is through appropriate exercise, lifestyle and behaviour-change work — not a claim to provide standalone treatment for every condition. You don’t have to do it alone.

- 04
Support
We work together, adapt and problem-solve as life evolves.
- 05
Sustain
The goal is long-term change, confidence and independence — not dependence.
My approach
Whole-person. Evidence-informed. Human.
Combining practical coaching experience with clinical understanding to support lasting change.
Ideas that inform my practice
Understand
The examined life. Self-understanding first.
Awareness
Compassion, presence and noticing what is actually happening.
Growth
Self-development without pretending change is linear.

Living in alignment with what matters.
Question
Always learning. Never settling.
Ready to take the first step?
Let’s have a conversation about your health, goals and how we can work together.
Exercise, education and lifestyle support from DD Performance & Wellness is not a substitute for medical treatment, prescribed medication or specialist mental health care. Where support beyond this scope is needed, referral and multidisciplinary working are the right next step.
