About Me

Originally from the Netherlands, I’ve called Dubai home for over 10 years, where I live with my family and help people build healthier, stronger, more active lives.
I’m a certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, Pre- and Postnatal Exercise & Nutrition Coach, and Golf Fitness Instructor, accredited by Focus Awards UK, Active IQ UK, NASM USA, and REP’s UAE. I also hold a Master’s in Educational Psychology and a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education, a combination that lets me not just prescribe workouts, but educate and empower clients to create lasting change.
Movement has been a lifelong passion of mine, from Division 1 volleyball to running today, both of which shaped the discipline and resilience I bring to coaching.
Fitness isn’t about perfection, it’s about building strength, health, and habits that fit your life. Whatever your goal, weight loss, muscle gain, sports performance, pre/postnatal strength, or simply feeling more energetic and confident, I offer a personalised, sustainable approach backed by science, real experience, and genuine support.
Together, we’ll build lasting habits and the confidence to become the strongest, healthiest version of yourself.
Why Choose Me?
Choosing the right coach is about more than finding someone who can count your reps it’s about finding someone who will support, educate, and inspire you throughout your journey. My coaching is built on trust, knowledge, and a genuine commitment to helping you succeed.
Passion & Motivation:
Helping people transform their health and fitness is more than my profession it’s my passion. I bring enthusiasm, encouragement, and unwavering support to every session, helping you stay motivated, overcome obstacles, and celebrate every achievement along the way.
Expertise You Can Trust:
As a certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, Pre- and Postnatal Coach, and Golf Fitness Instructor, I continuously invest in my professional development. By staying up to date with the latest research, evidence-based practices, and training methods, I provide safe, effective, and personalised coaching you can trust.
Personalised Coaching:
No two people are the same, so no two training programmes should be either. I take the time to understand your goals, lifestyle, fitness level, preferences, and any injuries or limitations to create a programme that fits you maximising results while reducing the risk of injury.
Accountability & Support:
Consistency is the key to success. Through regular check-ins, progress tracking, and ongoing communication, I’ll help keep you motivated, accountable, and focused on achieving your goals. You’re never on this journey alone.
Positive Energy:
Exercise should challenge you but it should also be enjoyable. I bring energy, positivity, encouragement, and a sense of humour to every session, creating a supportive environment where you’ll feel comfortable, confident, and motivated to give your best.
Leading by Example:
I believe in practising what I teach. Living a healthy, active lifestyle allows me to understand both the challenges and the rewards of creating lasting habits. My goal is to inspire you not only through my knowledge but also through my commitment to living the values I coach every day.
Together, we’ll build strength, confidence, healthy habits, and lasting results one step, one workout, and one achievement at a time.
