Growing up, I struggled to comes to terms with my Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis, which made controlling the condition a lot more of a struggle, especially during my adolescent years.
However, following my retinopathy diagnosis, this caused me to change my behaviour and mindset towards my diabetes for the better, resulting in a passion to control my Diabetes to the best of my ability. This then led me to want to help others with Diabetes going through the same thing, whereby I now provide my clients with everything that I felt I needed when I was struggling the most.
Over the years, I have come to learn that leading a healthy lifestyle and taking up healthier habits has had a significant, positive impact on my own Diabetes control and overall motivation, leading me to want to help others living with Diabetes to achieve their health and fitness related goals.
I aim to motivate, empower and support my clients all the way through their health and fitness journey, as I completely understand what it is like to live with Type 1 Diabetes day to day, along with the obstacles and challenges we may face.
