Founder and RD of her local Junior Parkrun, guide runner, journalling advocate and coach specialising in female health and menopause, her passion is supporting others to overcome barriers and use running as a vessel to a better life.

With a penchant for suffering, she coaches to encourage runners to be brave and dream big.
