Change your life for a new version of you!
As a sassy menopausal athlete in her 50s, I like to approach training as a holistic journey to improve ability as an athlete, while redesigning the investment in yourself. I aim to improve performances, body relationships, and well-being.
I am a Certified ITCA Triathlon Coach, British Cycling Coach Level 2, PADI Swimming Coach, ASCA Swimming Coach Level 1, and NESTA Kettlebell Coach, NESTA Lifestyle and Weight Management and Lifestyle Consultant and Dr Stacy Sims Menopause for Athletes course and Women Are Not Small Men course. I am also Women For Tri Ambassador since 2018 and have been through all the menopausal hoops!
Aside from the required endurance coaching certifications, I have studied with interest how ladies approaching menopause or who are on the other side of menopause should approach their training. I have personally fought the journey!
I like to combine my training for women with a gear towards improving their lifestyle and self-worth. Hell knows that many women lose that as their bodies change, As I have discovered over the last 5 years, training with menopause will help you discover things that you were possibly never told. I have learned that training is not all about losing weight and being fitter, but the improvement of performance, relationships (especially with your changing body), lifestyle choices, and general well-being.
The outcomes can be extraordinary if you dedicate a little time to yourself. I have learned that at this age I need to take more care of myself, apply certain methods to my training and most of all, seek proper recovery, relaxation and nutrition. I hope that my own experience and training will assist you to find endurance training less arduous, more fun and beneficial.
