My Story

My love for health and fitness began with county athletics and academy football, where I was a youth player for Bristol Rover FC and Southampton FC. Playing in an academy set up until the age of 18, provided me with a wealth of knowledge before I even began my journey through university and beyond. 

Being in and around the first team players and being trained by world class coaches, I quickly understood the importance of a balanced diet, training regime and recovery plan. 

Unfortunately, this is where my football journey ended due to reoccurring injuries, but I wouldn't change any of it, as it has led me to where I am today. From being in the physio room so much, I absorbed so much information about the anatomy of the body and details on a wide range of injuries. 

It was at that point, that I wanted to get myself injury free and found my love for helping others with the knowledge I had started to gain. From the hours spent in the gym doing rehab, I began to go on my own fitness journey, stepping away from football and moved into bodybuilding. 

At 18, I decided to take the plunge and chase my passion for sports and the science behind it. So I moved to Southampton to begin a degree in Sports Science. 

Whilst at university I started to compete in bodybuilding and take a real interest in; anatomy, nutrition, optimal training and recovery. I began to work with TeamGB athletes in their strength and condition sessions and focused on optimising their performance. 

By the second year of university, I clearly understood the career path I wanted to take post graduation and that was to help people move better and feel better. So I started to focus my studies at university on, sports and deep tissue massage, along with learning more about injuries and the anatomy of the body. 

Post degree, I then studied to gain a professional qualification in Soft tissue therapy and corrective exercise, along with becoming an acupuncture and dry needling practitioner. Whilst doing these studies, I worked as an online coach, helping individuals change their lives and also bodybuilders going into competition prep.  

After completing my studies, I moved back to Bristol, where I joined Fitness First Bath. I began working as a Fitness Consultant and moved into a manager role within the gym. I then finished with Fitness First and this is where I then opened my first private practice, where I practiced for over 7 years. 

I then decided that I wanted to do more. I wanted to be able to support people not just on a 1 to 1 basis, but to positively effect people’s health and wellbeing at scale.

This is where I opened Novi Studios, a premium group training gym in the heart of Bath. I still kept my practice, but moved it across to Novi Studios. This meant I could still do my private client work, but could be part of an environment in Novi Studios, where I could support people in groups and train coaches to deliver my vision on helping and supporting people at scale.

This is where I am today, with a family, a home and real world experience on supporting people from all walks of life.

I have been fortunate enough to work with some amazing people, from local members of the public who just needed some support to become pain free and strong again. To athletes from; the Common Wealth Games, Team Bath and Bath Rugby, along with specialist treatments for competitive Bodybuilders, Powerlifters, BAFTA actors and professional dancers.
