Years in industry: 10

I discovered Pole Fitness in my late 30s early 40s and just fell in love with the sport.  Having no dance or gymnastics experience, I was not all that physically fit (hated the gym found it boring) and yet it was something about Pole that kept me coming back for more. The lessons flew by so quickly, they incorporated strength, flexibility and A LOT of fun.  The atmosphere at the studio was so supportive and encouraging and I found lifetime friendships.   It was just more than fitness!

As an instructor  I try to bring those key elements every time I take a class.  I hold a current  IPDFA International instructor qualification.  I was 46 years old when I won NZAPP Hamilton Heat 2021 in the expert division.  And have since competed in Inferno 2021 and 2024.  What drives me as an instructor is seeing and being apart of the success my student have in class and the confidence they gain in themselves.  

Outside of Pole I am a mother of 3 teenage boys, a wife  and Company Director.
