About me

My story

Health and well-being are at the core of everything I do. I’m naturally curious (a bit of a geek, really!) and love diving deep into anything health-related. When I’m not studying, you’ll find me spending time with my family and running community, experimenting in the kitchen (I like to think of myself as a chef in the making), or out on the trails, running and connecting with nature.My passion for health advocacy is deeply personal. I’ve experienced the profound pain of losing two incredible men far too soon—my dad at just 54 and my father-in-law at 58. These losses, coupled with my own struggles—both physical and mental—during my late 20s and early 30s, shaped my perspective on life and health.In my darkest moments, I was lucky to have the support of those around me, a foundational understanding of true health through my work, and the ability to create a plan and environment that helped me rebuild. These experiences have not only fueled my passion, its also strengthened my resolve to help others create lives where they can thrive, both physically and mentally.

My mission

Too often, I see men struggling silently, yearning for help but held back by a lack of support, living in environments that harm their well-being, and with no clear plan or understanding of what true health feels or looks like. Many are simply surviving—sacrificing their health and happiness in the process. This cycle must end.Since 2012, my mission has been clear: to transform the landscape of men’s health. I am dedicated to supporting, educating, and empowering men with personalised plans that focus on prevention, protection, and proactivity. My goal is to help men create environments that nurture growth, foster resilience, and allow them to truly thrive—in mind, body, and spirit.Together, we can redefine what it means to be healthy and strong, and ensure no man is left to face these challenges alone.
