WHO I AM

After a career of around 12 years in Banking, eventually becoming a financial system expert, Heather met the man she would marry and this led to a relocation in Geneva, Switzerland.
After a brief stint working in Geneva she gave up work to have a family.
Not long after the birth of her second child she decided she would start to look towards a change in career. After developing severe scoliosis in her upper thoracic spine and lower lumber following a long and traumatic labour, it was this path to recovery that led her to current profession. Driven by the desire to help others, through strength and conditioning as well healthier lifestyle & nutritional choices.
It was in 2013 that she began her studies for her Level 3 Personal Trainer qualifications - during which she obtained certification of: Active IQ level 2 in Fitness instruction, Active IQ Level 3 in Personal Training, Active IQ Level 2 Instruction Circuits, Active IQ Level 2 instruction studio cycling, Active IQ Level 2 instructing Kettlebells and a VFA certificate in PT Padwork. Towards the end of these studies, it was then that she discovered CrossFit. She fell in love with its intensity and constantly varied approach to functional fitness.. and her new passion was born.
What she loves most about CrossFit is its commitment to functional movements, and adaptability & scalable intensity. She believes because of this, CrossFit can be programmed and made suitable to anyone, no matter their age or fitness abilities.
