Here at Compass Fitness & Wellbeing, we believe that good physical health and mental wellbeing should travel in harmony in the journey through life.

That is why we create a safe space in our classes for you to join, without the fear of judgements or comparisons being made. Feel the support of a community that will cheer you on, help to raise you up, and remind you of who you really are ... Find your True Tribe.

Certified in Mental Health Awareness in Sport and Physical Activity (developed by Mind, UK Coaching and 1st4Sport), I possess practical skills and strategies to be able to:

- build people's resilience, self-esteem and confidence
- adapt sessions to make them more inclusive
- enable and support mental health recovery, and
- tackle stigma and discrimination.
