  Golf Strength & Conditioning Coach

  I have been an avid golfer and a fitness fanatic since a young age and decided to pursue a career within the health and leisure industry. I am a fully qualified personal trainer and gym instructor with the desire to keep furthering my knowledge in the industry. I am now doing one to ones and group training sessions to suit each individual persons needs and goals. Having been trained up by the highly experienced, quality personal trainers at Sound Mind and Body, it has provided me with a wealth of knowledge to pass on to all future clients wishing to get fit. Improving fitness and core stability for golf has been a major passion of mine and offering nutrition advice having completed a level 3 Certificate in Nutrition for Activity and body measurements. I have so far seen great success in helping current clients achieve goals they set themselves when initially coming to me for personal training sessions. Throughout my time at Sound Mind and Body I have supported people with many different types of disabilities to exercise ranging from physical disabilities, autism, mental health, learning difficulties and people who have suffered brain hemorrhages. I have found this to be a very interesting and rewarding way to spend my time personal training and with my previous 10 year's in working in the care sector, I feel that I am well suited to help people with all needs to achieve their fitness goals.For the past few months I have also been working as a sports massage therapist which interlinks well with the personal training service I provide. I have been performing sports massage at Sound Mind and Body since May 2016 and have gained the Level 3 Diploma qualification with a merit.I am trained in Effleurage, Petrissage, Trigger Pointing, Myofascial Release, Soft Tissue Release, Muscle Energy Techniques and Tapotement for injuries and injury prevention. I can also perform relaxation and deep tissue massage for clients seeking something slightly different to Sports Massage. Show less
