I’ve been on quite a journey through my twenties and early thirties to end up where I am now. I finished school and went to Uni thinking I was going to spend my whole life as a lawyer! I did a business management degree and a law degree, landed my dream job at an international law firm and thought that was me set for life.

I’d always had an interest in nutrition and exercise but got told when I was younger “never make a job out of your hobbies” so I dismissed it and never considered it as a proper option. 

It wasn’t until I hit my late twenties that I realised I needed to stop ignoring that little voice in my head and should be following my head and my heart on a new adventure. 

At this point I had just become a mum, worked a stressful corporate job, also had family life in the mix, I felt like I was always at the bottom of the list, I was exhausted and I felt fed up with how I felt but couldn’t see a way out. I couldn’t find anyone out there who seemed to understand what this felt like and could help me.  So that is how Coached by Katie began…knowing there were millions of mums out there who were feeling the same as me and needed some help too!!

Very slowly at first, I dipped my toe in the water helping a couple of friends get in the shape of their lives for their wedding. Then some referrals came in from family and a group of friends who had just had babies and who saw the results I was getting and wanted my help too. Alongside this I did group exercise qualifications, Les Mills training and my Level 2 and Level 3 PT as I was excited by what I was managing to do to help people and wanted to properly know my stuff. 

Then from there it continued to build. I started teaching Les Mills classes and running my own PT group sessions tailored to new mums and working mums. At the same time, I nervously set myself up on Instagram and started writing and sharing what I was doing. 

Fast forward 5 years and here we are today. A coaching business that has now helped 100s of ladies to stop waiting for the right time and given them the courage and confidence to go after their goals, what ever they might be – maybe lose weight, improve their fitness, take better care of themselves, adjust to mum life, the juggling act of work, kids and having a life etc. 

I still have to pinch myself sometimes when I look at what this business has become and how it is genuinely changing lives.

What a privilege to be able to do this!
