Working with Many Rivers

I found out about Many Rivers through Google.

The support I have received has been supportive coaching. Having someone to bounce ideas off and gain guidance from has been incredibly valuable. Every idea that I bring to the table is received with curiosity and an approach to try and help me make my dreams a reality.

I absolutely LOVE working with Many Rivers.

Before starting my business, I worked as a retail manager.

I started my business because I wanted to help people achieve the same positive changes that training had given me. My own fitness journey began after seeing fitness model and entrepreneur Emily Skye on television, which inspired me to start exercising and take better care of my health.

As my own results became noticeable, people began asking what I was doing and how they could achieve similar outcomes. What started as helping friends and family quickly grew into a passion for coaching others.

Over time, I realised that many people were working incredibly hard but were often following generic advice that didn’t suit their body, lifestyle, or goals. This led me to build my business around a more individual approach and to pursue a deeper understanding of human health and performance.

For more than 10 years, I have continued to expand my knowledge through both formal education and hands-on experience, studying exercise physiology, nutrition, movement, recovery, mindset, habits, and performance. My goal is to help people understand their bodies, move well, build lasting strength, and create results they can maintain for life.

Biggest Challenge

My biggest challenge to date has been reaching the right audience virtually and gaining clients.

Biggest Success

My biggest success has been really refining my idea and discovering who I want to be within my business.

Biggest Change

The biggest change for me since starting my business has been having so much more time freedom. It has also given me a real sense of autonomy and individualism.

One thing I can do now that I couldn’t do before starting my business is cash flow projections. I also understand the rules and guidelines that go along with running your own business in Australia.
