Who am I?
About Me
Hi, I’m Barbi.
I always had a passion for exercise, the way the human body moves and recovers, nutrition and health. I was a performing dancer, and I adored all things dance!
In my early twenties, I was diagnosed with MDD and PCOS. All of a sudden, things made a lot of sense. I finally felt I had the upper hand, and now I had a diagnosis I had the power to educate myself and make the best of my circumstances.
Despite struggling with PCOS and irregular cycles, I was very fortunate to become a mum at 27. During the first year postpartum, I went through perhaps the most challenging time in my life.
I was on my own fitness journey postpartum, and struggled with terrible post-natal depression, anxiety, hormonal imbalance, headaches, and everything just felt so different! I realised that pregnancy has completely changed my body and I was frightened that I might stay in that unwell, overweight, depressed and unhappy body for the rest of my life. I was struggling to lose weight, I was sleep deprived, always hungry, always moody and achy. I dedicated all my spare time to doing what I loved - learning about the body, the post-partum body in particular. I found amazing research that has enlightened me, and helped me develop a new lifestyle that was enjoyable, healthy and sustainable. I realised how much of a need there is for new mums to feel supported, be educated and guided through their own postpartum journeys. At the same time, I have watched my mum struggle with the symptoms of the menopause. I felt compelled to learn, and help her and other women like her to find themselves, and face this big change with confidence and support.
Formerly, I qualified in holistic studies and worked as a hairdresser.
I re-trained as a Woman specialist personal trainer, and focused my studies on pre-post partum and menopause exercise and nutrition.
I also qualified as a sports therapist.
My training has given me a deep understanding on human anatomy, sports science and recovery.
My experience working with clients on the gym floor, and in clinic has deepened my appreciation for people as individuals, and has helped me to personalise each and every treatment plan! I love helping my clients and patients understand their bodies, and helping them to make lasting changes that will support the work we do together. To me, this is not just a massage appointment. It is not just a PT session. It is an amazing opportunity to change someones life forever!
I know what it’s like to feel constant tension, Pain that won’t go away. I know the scary feeling of your body isn’t quite “yours” anymore.
And I also know how life changing it is when that starts to improve.
That’s why I do what I do, to help people move better, feel stronger, and live their best life!
