I was born in 1971 am originally from Ruislip, Middlesex and have lived in Southoe, St Neots, Cambridgeshire with my husband Neal, Millie our border terrier and Meka the cat since April 2000.  I started dancing when I was 3 years old and although I have had a varied career (which has included working in Events & Marketing, for the airline Virgin Atlantic and as an MS IT Trainer), my love of dancing and passion for working out in the studio have remained strong and only partially satisfied by teaching in my spare time; so strong, in fact, that having gained a YMCA ETM Qualification and further fitness education I decided to dedicate myself to these passions full-time.  FitHaven was the result of this decision!

Through FitHaven my aim is to bring highly motivational, fitness and danced based movement, classes & personal training to my clients and my local community that are above all effective, affordable & fun.  I am now a dedicated and determined Fitness Studio & Personal Fitness Instructor and I firmly believe that my expertise, motivation and inspiration can be harnessed for the benefit of anyone with a genuine desire to improve their quality of life using safe but effective consistent methods of exercise, activity and nutritional guidance.

To continue with my on-going education and training I am a member of FitPro, YMCA-Fit, Choreography To Go (CTG), Multitrax, REPs plus continually attend masterclasses, workshops and fitness events throughout the year such as FitPro Fitness Convention, Leisure Industry Week, and CTG workshops.

My Mission… “Exercise should be fun, beneficial, safe, effective and part of your every day life and I put 100% of my energy and passion into delivering you this experience.  I promise to provide you with the highest level of inspirational exercise and to motivate and challenge you to achieving your goals in a more fun and active lifestyle.  In fact, I guarantee it!”

I am not a naturally thin or fit person.  The photo on the left  is me in 2001, over two stone overweight!  I hope from looking at the other photos you can see I have changed many habits and totally changed the shape of my body and lifestyle since then.

I have been unfit, overweight and unhappy.  Before I met Mel I had not done any exercise for years.  Mel re-introduced me to exercise and taught me it could be fun.  I can now genuinely say I live a fun and active lifestyle.  SO much so that after five years of supporting Mel from the sidelines, I have decided to jump in with both feet and work with her full time.

In April 2009 we opened our new Personal Training Studio in Buckden.  As well as Personal Training, I teach Nordic Walking, WoW Sessions (Women on Weights) Kettlebells and BuggyFitness classes.  See the Personal Training Page for more information and let me use my experience to help you achieve your goals.

I am thrilled to be part of FitHaven full time, come by and see the studio as you are always welcome.
