Education
Having the education behind you in order for you to achieve your goals is vital. As a young woman I didn’t have the education behind me in order to become my best self and improve my quality of life. Along with my online coaching service. I want to give young women the education they need to help body image issues and relationship with food. And how training to be strong can add so much value to your life. There are still issues regarding this in the health and wellness sector. I have guest spoken at a variety of organisations and held seminars of my own.
If you are a company or organisation and want to improve the wellbeing of young women.

Fear of judgement, lacking confidence, not having enough time ,research shows there are a mix of practical and emotional pressures that stop many women from being as active as they would like.
In fact, 39% of women aged 16 and over are not active enough to get the full health benefits of sport and physical activity, compared to 35% of men.
Lack of confidence is a well-known reason why people don’t go to the gym. This is particularly prevalent amongst young women, with 22% of women aged 18-34 citing this as their main reason.
39 percent of women say concerns about what they eat or weigh interfere with their happiness.
