HISTORY AND EXPERIENCE:

I have, from a very young age always been into dancing, contemporary dance, Latin and Ballroom, Salsa and Bachata and more recently Kizomba. I have been teaching Salsa and Bachata dance for 10 years and ran my own Salsa classes and club night under the name of Lets Go Salsa! I have also been a regular gym goer and had a few Personal Trainers to help me on my journey.


I left attending the gym for a period due to 'Life' getting in the way but also suffering from a condition I did not understand at the time. It was around 2002 that I was diagnosed with having Neurocardiogenic Syncope (a type of faint) and it was 2013 that I was also diagnosed with having Fibromyalgia, a condition that causes chronic pain and many other symptoms.


I was ready to give up my dancing in 2013 as dancing was becoming exhausting, painful and caused many Fibromyalgia flare-ups. After being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia I did my own research on the condition and found there was a specialist clinic in London which had a Fibromyalgia pain management course. I asked immediately for a referral which turned out to be the best thing I could've done as it changed the way I thought and felt about having the condition. The consultant advised me not to give up dancing but to actually try going to the gym and doing some light weights......best advice I had ! It gave me the kick start I needed and I went back to the gym, got a Personal Trainer and I've never looked back since.


Attending the gym has improved my quality of life, I'm stronger, healthier, happier and my Fibromyalgia , I now control it, it does not control me. I have been on my fitness journey consistently for the last 6 years and I continue to challenge myself and my learning never stops.
