Affiliations

  • In addition to my academic and professional experience, I actively maintain a healthy and physically active lifestyle, which supports my credibility and enthusiasm for promoting behaviour change in others. I regularly train for endurance and functional fitness events and have recently completed the Ribble Valley 10k, with upcoming goals including a HYROX event and a half marathon. This personal commitment has strengthened my understanding of goal setting, consistency, and overcoming barriers to physical activity, which are key challenges faced by many clients engaging with weight-management services. By applying these principles both personally and professionally, I am well placed to encourage and support individuals to adopt and sustain healthier lifestyles in a realistic and achievable way.
