My name Tonia. I'm a personal trainer, health coach & mindful eating coach. I am a mum of 5 and I understand the challenges of a busy life!
I take a realistic approach to health, supporting you to reach achievable goals through creating sustainable habits, and moving away from a hyperfocus on weight and appearance. In recent years, I lost 12kg of bodyweight without having a weight loss goal and without obsession.
​
As a result of my personal and professional experience, I created the Nourish.Move.Live approach to lifestyle change, supporting you to make realistic changes to improve your health.
​
My approach is trauma-informed and inclusive. I am also qualified to work with people with chronic illness, older adults, menopause and perimenopause, pregnancy and postnatal. You can find my CIMSPA profile here.

My Services
Live Yourself Better
Lifestyle Fitness & Nutrition for Life
Tell me all about who you are, what your goals are. I want to understand what makes you tick. What experiences have you previously had of exercise and diet? What do you enjoy? What don't you enjoy so much? What does your day look like? Your week? How can regular exercise become a seamless part of your daily life?
Let's meet up.
Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
Perimenoupause & Menopause Coaching
I can support you during this important time in your life. As a perimenopause and menopause specialist personal trainer, I understand the considerations that must be made when training women who are perimenopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal. I will work with you to help you to establish meaningful lifestyle changes at this time of transition, and to help you to ensure that you are taking care of yourself, maximising the health benefits available to you, and most importantly enjoying your life.

Personal Training Sessions
I will come to meet you at home, at the local park, at your place of work, or online. Each session lasts for 60-minutes, including a 15 minute cooldown and a catch-up (or, if you're short of time, I offer a 30-minute session).

Live Yourself Better Bio
Hi, I'm Tonia. I'm a CIMSPA-certified personal trainer, and a busy mum-of-five. I understand that it can be difficult to find time to take care of yourself.
I also understand how to help you overcome time and energy hurdles so that you can be the best version of YOU.
​
A purely aesthetic approach to fitness leads to unhealthy obsessions, restricted ways of living and short term solutions, which only last for as long as the restrictions are in place.
​
My Live Yourself Better approach has been developed to ensure that your lifestyle changes are enjoyable, manageable and long term.
​
I prefer to focus on fitness goals, health goals or body composition, keeping away weight-based goals and instead working with you to create realistic, enjoyable and lasting changes.
I will help you to develop trust in your own body and to find enjoyment in physical exercise whilst improving your strength, endurance and overall fitness.
​
I am also a CIMSPA-certified perimenopause, menopause, pregnancy & postnatal trainer, and I am able to work with you to create healthy changes during this important time in your life.
​
I am also a certified nutrition and mindfulness coach, and I bring this into my practice, taking a holistic approach to lifestyle fitness.
​
In addition, I believe in the reduction of loneliness and isolation through exercise and I am available to hire as an exercise buddy and for walk and talk, either for individuals or community groups.
​
Don't wait a moment longer. Let's arrange a time to talk.

Thank you Tonia. You took the time to understand what I needed, and supported me to take the steps to achieve my goals. I had tried SO many different diets and exercise routines throughout my adult life. I turned 40 last year and decided enough was enough. I am so grateful to have found you. I've made changes to my lifestyle that were manageable and will last. And best of all, I've reached my goals.

Thank you so much for the session today. I feel that you listened to what I wanted to achieve and tailor made the session for my needs. You explained everything really well and the reasons for training in a particular way. You were very patient with questions and I can’t wait to start the programme this week. You were very aware of my capabilities and adapted the exercises to ensure that I was comfortable but with the aim of meeting my goals and making them achievable.
Thanks again
Alice B.
In the last 6 months I have noticed a significant improvement in my health and mobility, surpassing all of my goals in the process. I do not know where I would be today if I did not start the program

If you had told me this time last year that I would be healthier and that my blood pressure would be under control I would have laughed. Honestly, it never seemed like I would be able to live in a different way. I'm so busy all the time, and my job is a massive stress. I guess I could have found all the excuses in the world until I met you Tonia and you showed me how to use my time in the best way and how to make small changes that turned into big changes. I recommend you to all my friends!
