I'm here to keep you accountable and support you on your journey to achieving your goals with structured programming and weekly check ins, helping you take measurable steps towards success.

My qualifications

  • REPs/CIMSPA Practitioner

What my Clients say:

I have learnt so much from Michaela, she is willing to share her expert knowledge and answer any questions. Her dedication is clear and she always puts her clients first. Michela is energetic, fun, committed and inspirational, and I cannot recommend her enough. I look forward to our sessions every week. 

I started training with Michaela during my pregnancy and have continued to do so post-partum. My aim was to keep mobile and to use the sessions as my ‘switch off’ time. What I achieved with Michela’s help was far more than this! Using the various resistance and core strengthening exercises, along with breathing techniques, my overall strength and fitness improved so much in a short space of time that I was able to keep active right up to when my little girl arrived. Michaela gave me confidence to continue exercising in a safe way, which I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. I had an amazing labour and, hand on heart, I can honestly say I think the work we did together played a huge part in that  I cannot thank Michaela enough for all her help and support.
