​"A key focus for me is encouraging people to move more, particularly from mid-life onwards. As we get older, the effects of inactivity and sedentary lifestyles become more apparent. Bone density and muscle mass decrease, balance and flexibility decline and we need to continue to be active in order to prolong a good level of mobility and ultimately retain our quality of life and general health and wellbeing. Moving more has helped me in so many ways, both physically and mentally, and I want to share my passion for movement with others and help them too. My main aim is to make fitness as fun as possible and I love to see all-round smiles throughout my classes!"
