Being diagnosed with CMT at age 13 gave my dream of becoming a professional dancer a new sense of urgency. I understood early that if I wanted to pursue that path, I would need to train with awareness. I learned how to adapt my technique and protecting my body, all while quietly managing my diagnosis.

At 16, that determination became reality when I successfully auditioned for and performed with a contemporary dance company in Germany. That experience shaped not only my career, but my character. It taught me discipline, adaptability, and the power of intentional movement. From the moment I was diagnosed, my health became a priority, and I developed a deep respect for sustainable training and long-term wellbeing.

After graduating, I transitioned into dance teaching, a career spanning more than 20 years. I am passionate about helping people build confidence, strength, and inspiring them to be the best version of themselves. As a teacher, seeing a student progress and knowing you’ve contributed to their journey is profoundly rewarding.

As teaching became more physically demanding, I shifted toward adaptive movement, leading chair-based dance classes for the CMT Australia community and within aged care settings. Serving as Victorian State Coordinator for CMT Australia further strengthened my connection with the CMT community, where I met so many amazing people and thought how fantastic it would be to create a tailored exercise program for those living with CMT.

As a trainer, my priority is to create inclusive, supportive sessions where you feel understood, capable, and empowered to move with confidence.

I can’t wait to work with you and create empowering movement together!
