BIOGRAPHY
I have been a part of the health, sport and fitness industry since 1988. As a lifestyle educator I specialises in the management of low back pain, post-operative rehabilitation, exercise for the mature adult, sports specific training (for runners and triathletes) and exercise for general health and well-being.
My competitive spirit and years of experience as a runner and cyclist took me to the Word Duathlon Championships in Atlanta in 2002 where I represented South Africa, and in 2010 I represented Great Britain at the World Duathlon championships in Edinburgh. I’ve also enjoyed competing in IronMan Triathlons, Marathons and Ultra-Marathons.

“In 2011 I suffered 2 prolapsed discs in my lower back. After time spent in hospital, a relapse and very little info from the physio, I came away unsure of what to do next, anxious about a further relapse, I didn’t want to go out and couldn’t work. In 2013 I booked some training sessions with Sue, as she was a specialist in back problems like mine. This was a major turning point for me, Sue spent time assessing and going through my history, she understood my anxiety and knew a way we would work together to improve my situation. After only 7 months I was no longer taking painkillers and had lost 2 stone in weight, I’m able to work and enjoy family life again, I’m no longer anxious about relapse all the time. I cannot recommend Sue highly enough she has changed my life and my family’s lives too.”

How do you stay in shape?
My passions are running and cycling, I do combine this with strength training too.
I think its important to have a balanced diet, eating ‘clean’ unprocessed foods 80% of the time, and that way I find I can relax with this 20% of the time.
