My Story
Like most kids growing up in the bush, I was playing sport as soon as I could walk. I played all the sports at school, and I especially loved cross country and athletics. After leaving home I discovered the gym, and its through going to the gym in London, that I discovered my Pilates practice in 2005. Fast forward to 2008, I was 27 and living in Montreal, and after years of working in Sales, Customer Service, and Finance across Australia, the UK, and Canada, I realised it was time to follow my true passion. So, I packed my bags and returned home to kickstart my career as a Personal Trainer at Virgin Active Frenchs Forest.
I soon discovered that while the mechanics of movement are important, mindset, motivation, and the power of relationships are what truly create sustainable change. This epiphany led me to embrace Yoga in 2010. By 2011, I had become a Fitness Manager, igniting my passion for leadership and mentorship. My journey continued as I took on various roles, eventually becoming the Global Head of Yoga and Pilates for Virgin Active, which took me from Australia, to Asia, to Europe and then an incredible year in Cape Town, South Africa. In this role, I aimed to grow participation in Yoga and Pilates worldwide while supporting the development of those pursuing careers in these disciplines. I also had the incredible opportunity to host the Virgin Active Minds Podcast, where I interviewed global health and wellbeing experts, including Sir Richard Branson himself.
My time with Virgin Active came to an end in mid-2024, and I found myself at another point of realisation about what I truly wanted to do at this stage of my life. I knew I wanted to create a wellness-focused community, which I could also be an active part of, fostering not only the wellbeing of others but also my own. This vision led to the birth of The Nourishment Co. Now, you'll find me here, eager to share my passion and skills for wellbeing with my wonderful community. Let's embark on this journey to wellness together!

The Lands of the Worimi
The Worimi people are the traditional custodians of the land encompassing the Port Stephens region, originally bounded by four rivers. The Hunter River to the south, Manning River to the north and the Allyn and Patterson Rivers to the west. For thousands of years, the Worimi have lived in harmony with the land, drawing on its rich natural resources and cultivating a deep spiritual connection to the environment.
The Worimi's cultural heritage is rich and diverse, passed down through generations via storytelling, art, dance, and ceremonies. Their stories, often depicted in rock engravings and sacred sites, tell of creation, the natural world, and the laws that guide their people. These stories are not just historical; they are living narratives that continue to shape the Worimi's identity and way of life.
Central to the Worimi culture is the concept of "Country," which extends beyond the physical landscape to include all living things—plants, animals, and even the stars. For the Worimi, Country is not just a place; it is a vital part of their being, sustaining them both physically and spiritually. This connection to Country is expressed through their care for the land, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
In contemporary Australia, the Worimi continue to play a vital role in the community, working to protect their cultural heritage and advocating for the recognition and respect of Indigenous rights. Acknowledging the Worimi as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land is a way to honour their enduring presence, contributions, and deep connection to the land. It is a reminder of the rich cultural history that underpins the region and the importance of respecting and preserving this legacy for future generations.
