Before JM Boxing Health & Fitness existed, I was dealing with many of the same challenges my clients face today. I grew up with severe asthma, couldn’t exercise for much of my childhood, and carried excess weight through my school years. With that came low confidence and feeling uncomfortable in my own body — wanting to change, but not knowing how.

Years later, my weight reached its highest point at 97kg, and I reluctantly walked into a gym for the first time. I felt out of place and self-conscious, but I kept showing up. Not perfectly — just consistently. Over time, things changed. I lost weight, built confidence, and realised exercise didn’t have to be punishment — it could be empowering. That experience changed the direction of my life.

Having lived that journey, I chose to work in fitness so I could help others avoid the confusion, intimidation, and frustration I once felt. For more than 20 years, I’ve been coaching people of different ages, abilities, and stages of life to build strength, confidence, and habits that last.

My qualifications include Certificate III & IV in Fitness (Personal Trainer), a Diploma in Health & Wellbeing, Credentialed Practitioner of Coaching, Certificate of Nutrition, and Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist. More importantly, I bring real-world understanding to every session — because I know what it’s like to start from scratch.

JM Boxing Health & Fitness reflects how I work with people — helping them feel capable in their own body again, and confident enough to keep moving forward.
