I have been a PT and Sports Massage Therapist for a number of years and in a few different countries too. I have helped many people improve their health and wellbeing. I love helping people achieve their goals!

Interests: I'm a happy half English, half Irish Vegan Mermaid who has a huge heart and love of life! Although I grew up in the UK, I have lived in Indonesia for 6 years! It's paradise, we get to swim with the turtles every day!
I was a professional athlete most of my life, running the 400m hurdles for Ireland at International level and I then went on to become an Athletics Coach, Personal Trainer and Sports Massage Therapist, Watt Bike Instructor, Spin Instructor and Body Pump Coach.
I have a huge passion for Animals and their Welfare as well as travelling the World, which ended up me also been a Tour Guide in South East Asia for 2.5 years. I have been volunteering at a Horse Rescue Centre, a Riding Stables and a Cat Charity the last 2 years and I love helping educate the local community on kindness towards their island creatures, as well as teaching them both how to ride a horse and improve their English speaking! Now I want to expand my teaching skills and help others around the world improve their English too! Who's ready?!
