Empowering Women to Embrace Their True Strength
Navigating a demanding work environment while raising a child as a single mother meant that my time was constantly demanded, taking a toll on both my mental and physical well-being. Prioritising my health amidst these challenges seemed like an insurmountable task, leading to repeated attempts at change that ended in frustration due to competing commitments.
Determined to reclaim control, I devised a system that allowed me to integrate training into my busy schedule while still fulfilling my obligations. Placing myself first wasn't just an act of self-care; it was a strategy to enhance my effectiveness as a parent and a professional. Overcoming these obstacles not only empowered me to confront new fears but also encouraged me to embrace fresh challenges. One year ago, I ventured into the world of Muay Thai, stepping into the ring—an endeavour I once doubted but now can't imagine my life without.
Today, I live without constraints, driven by an unwavering belief in limitless potential. My mission is to extend this sense of empowerment to fellow women, fostering within them a spirit of ferocity and resilience. Through cultivating self-assurance and prioritising their own well-being, they too can break free from limitations and embrace their innate strength.

very friendly and motivational had a great work out session and a great time

I've been working with Caroline for a few months now, and I couldn't be happier with the progress I've made. From the very beginning, Caroline has been incredibly knowledgeable and motivating. One of the things I appreciate most is how challenging the workouts are. Caroline consistently pushes me out of my comfort zone, and as a result, I've seen incredible improvements in my strength. For example, even when I used to train with other PTs years ago I could never do push ups, whereas after training with Caroline I could do 10 push ups within two months. I feel stronger than I ever have before. Each session is well-planned and tailored to my goals. Overall, I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking to make real progress in their fitness journey. Thank you for helping me become stronger and fitter than ever!

I initially started my fitness journey to overcome eating disorder issues and think Caroline support, patience, and encouragement in the gym made all the difference.
Over the past four months, she has transformed my approach to fitness and wellness. Caroline is fun and knows exactly how to keep me motivated, even on the toughest days. She created a safe space where I could rebuild a healthy relationship with my body and with fitness. I can now walk in the gym and use the equipment with confidence. She tailored each session to fit my needs, ensuring I felt both challenged and supported.
If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, professional and genuinely cares about your progress and well-being, look no further. Thanks for everything, I couldn't have asked for a better guide on this journey!

Caroline is simply amazing! Training with her has seriously changed the way I feel in my body and mind. The difference between her and other PTs is that she just gets you and trains with you in a way that you develop feeling confident. For a long time, I didn’t believe I could get into a gym routine, but now I know that it’s possible. I now see the gym / exercising as rewarding and fun and I don’t want to miss out on the good feelings that it brings to my week. Caroline is warm and fun and super experienced and knowledgable. She really cares about you and understands that you develop your skills over time and pushes you in just the right way to keep growing. The first week might seem tough because you are not used to it, but I promise if you keep at it, your body will quickly catch up.

Anna Elise LaFrance
Caroline has been amazing and such a huge help in the last few months! I was coming into the gym hoping to get fitter but without any structure, Caroline helped figure out my health and fitness goals and a plan to help reach them. She makes every session fun but pushes you as well, making sure you progress each week. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for their next step in the gym!
Bella
Caroline is super amazing! She makes workout sessions fun and makes them flow really well. She helped me answer all questions i was unsure about and helped me out on everything i needed and gave me advice on the placement of equipment and posture during reps. Everything was wonderful. Thank you Caroline!

Millie
So refreshing to work with someone energetic and encouraging! Had lots of experiences with PT’s that can be a little scary/stern, but immediately felt comfortable with Caroline and would recommend her to anyone. She’s super funny and has a calm energy while also clearly very knowledgeable and will push you to do more than you thought you could :)

Caroline showed me a great variety of exercises that I could do to work on my unique goals and navigate my personal blockers. She is super friendly and motivating, and supported me to push further than I thought I could!
Eleanor
Working with Caroline has been great, she really challenges me and helps me prove to myself I am stronger than I thought. She’s also really fun and great to talk to (during the breathers only of course - too out of breath otherwise). Her tips on lifestyle and diet as well are helpful and she values progress over perfection which is very refreshing.
Dania
Caroline is an amazing PT and friend I’ve made through coming to the gym. She makes coming to the gym a welcoming place where you don’t feel intimidated. Caroline is extremely hard-working and talented and has helped me through so much, including getting me through my pregnancy week by week! She continually makes me feel confident in what I do and achieve! Thank you!

Caroline is very unique to come across in the PT world. What makes her stand out from the others is that she makes you feel at comfort and ease whilst challenging you within the boundaries you’ve both set. It’s a partnership from day one.

Thanks so much Caroline, I love to combination of resistance, Muay Thai & fitness training. She makes working out FUN!
Kate
I really enjoy working with Caroline and I look forward to my sessions with her each week. She is super supportive and encouraging yet also makes me feel at ease (I’m new to the gym and used to be scared of using the equipment!) She makes our sessions fun and I love our little chats! I’m excited for my journey and to start seeing results, with the help from the lovely Caroline. Girl power!! Would highly recommend!

Caroline is energetic, positive and very intelligent. She is determined to get the best results for her clients using her knowledge of nutrition, exercise and fitness. I wouldn’t want any other PT, she’s the most charismatic and helpful PT who prioritises YOUR needs.

Freya Scott
Carolines warm and friendly manner made me feel comfortable when coming to the gym. Being intimidated by the gym meant that i couldn’t work towards achieving my goals. Caroline has carefully explained how to use the equipment and has made me feel more confident in the space. I look forward to continuing my journey with her!
