I have never been one for sticking to one sport or type of exercise. I love it all! At Loughborough University I threw myself into everything from hockey to boxing to group spin classes. 

It was during my time studying for my degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology that I became fascinated by the way certain exercise could benefit people with cancer, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and other long term health conditions. My research showed that exercise not only helps people manage their symptoms but can also prevent the risk of disease progression and relapse. 

After graduating in 2017, I noticed a huge and concerning gap in the provision of exercise support for people with long term health conditions. People who have been diagnosed with a long-term clinical condition are encouraged to stay active, yet many miss out due to a lack of information, support and exercise provision. It was this that led me to found Bounce Back Exercise in 2020, with a mission to help more people facing the challenges of a diagnosis experience the incredible benefits of exercise.

I believe that with exercise, there is no ’one size fits all’ approach. However, there is something for everyone. I love working as a clinical exercise specialist supporting people find the exercise that suits their individual needs, helps them achieve their goals and, most importantly, that they enjoy!
