Sam is a certified personal trainer who is passionate about women's health and fitness, specifically perimenopause and beyond.
An advocate for "it's never too late to start", Sam herself only started resistance training at the age of 43. She then went on to compete in her first body sculpting competition where she took out 3 first places.
Initially training for aesthetics with health and fitness as by-products, she now prioritises resistance training for its numerous health benefits (with aesthetics, the by-product).
Knowledge is power and she is committed to educating women on the importance of resistance training, lifestyle and dietary habits during peri and post menopause.
And when she's not training clients or herself (or running a household with teenage boys), you will almost always find her in Bali.

Get To Know Kate:
Why live an ordinary life when you can live an extraordinary one with great health!
Kate certainly knows what it’s like to face challenges when pursuing a dream.
In 2000 while watching the Sydney Olympic women’s marathon, the hair stood up on the back of her neck. Up until that point she had enjoyed social running but had no idea what it took to be an elite athlete.
Fast forward exactly 8 years, 50,000 kilometers, and 10,000 hours of training, she ran into an Olympic stadium in the 2008 Beijing Olympic games for Australia.
Kate believes there isn’t just one way to health. Her mission is to educate and empower female athletes to restore optimal health and in doing so reach lifetime goals.
Kate developed her passion for natural health founded on the back of her desire to help other athletes overcome many of the same health issues she faced during her sporting career such as nutrient deficiencies, anaemia, fatigue, hormonal disruption, and poor gut health.
She is passionate about providing realistic, practical, and effective guidance that gets results through private consultations and programs (including Flat to Fast Anaemia Recovery and Female Sports Performance Mentoring).
Kate has completed three university degrees including a Masters and a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy). Her thirst for knowledge has led her to undertaking further qualifications in nutrition. She has also undertaken additional training in thyroid health, sports nutrition, digestive health and female athlete hormones…. just in case you are wondering. She has been mentored by leading integrated GP’s, global leaders in naturopathy and nutritionists.
Kate is an accredited coach with Athletics Australia and works with some of Australia’s best athletes across various sporting disciplines.

Kate is available for appointments in-clinic on the first Thursday of every month.
