My Background
About Me
Trail runner, mountain lover, dog mum, scuba diver, teacher, podcast addict, strudel tester!
I've been running for over 20 years, and know both the excitement that comes with chasing ambitious goals and the challenges of growing as an athlete over time.
I started out road running, from 10Ks to marathons. Then in 2008 I moved to Italy and discovered the Dolomites. I fell in love with trail and mountain running, hiking, climbing, and, of course, sampling apple strudels in mountain huts! Running in nature opened up a whole new side of the sport and it's where I feel most at home.
As I moved into ultra trails, I became fascinated by the mental side of the sport. I've learned that resilience, confidence, and good decision-making are just as important as fitness. Every run is an opportunity to learn and I'm still chasing my own big goals, including the Tor des Géants and Western States…
Coaching experience
I'm a UESCA Certified Running Coach and a lifelong learner, always keeping up with the latest sports science and continuing to develop my coaching knowledge.
For me, coaching is a blend of science, experience, and genuine connection. Every athlete is different, and I love bringing all the pieces together to create training that helps you grow, stay healthy, and enjoy the process.
My goal is not just to help you reach your next finish line, but to help you become a stronger, more capable, and more independent athlete for years to come.
