And this is the rest of my beautiful family!
Our blended family has called Birre home for nearly 3 years. Grant and I moved here from the Surf Coast to put down roots in a community more closely aligned with our values and interests. I grew up the eldest of 5 girls in a traditional single-income family in rural New South Wales, and have been riding motorcycles since I was 7. Grant, South African born, spent the majority of his life as an elite springboard and platform diver (including an Olympics stint in 2016), and is now a career Firefighter based in Geelong.
We are outdoor enthusiasts who love coffee, cricket, mountain bike riding, spending time as a family, and entertaining our friends. We also have two energetic Hungarian Vizslas, Lenny and Arthur.
I'm a tertiary qualified fitness professional and classically trained mat and reformer pilates instructor. I have a clinical approach to teaching, an eye for detail, and am incredibly passionate about the work that I do and the people I do it with. I have a Bachelor degree in Exercise and Sport Science, a Masters degree in High Performance Sport, and have worked with a wide variety of exercise populations spanning 10 years in the industry.
My mission with BELfitness is to provide an inclusive and considered level of services that exceed those offered at other studios, commercial gyms or fitness franchises.
I have invested a lot of time into my education and professional development, and believe that your health needs to be an investment too.
