To choose the right coach, you need to
do your research,
How many years of experience do they have? (1 have 10, btw).
What study have they done? (l've done a LOT).
What is their philosophy?
Are they faking it to make it?
Htave a chat with them and ask the hard questions
They should be able to give detailed explanations of how
they approach the particular issues and goals you have.
Being a PT isn't hard. Being a Great Coach is REALLY hard!
And you deserve the best one. One who is worth your money,
effort AND time.

Remember, all experts were once beginners.
The only person you need to be better than is YOU.
So, believe in yourself and all that you are!
I am SO proud of how far l've come
And let me tell you: It has NOT been an easy road!
I think many people believe that I have never been
overweight, haven't suffered with eating disorders, never
been unsure of how to reach my goals. Maybe they even
think I haven't suffered with my mental health.
I am here to tell you that I HAVE,
In 2022 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic
fatigue syndrome. Both can be absolutely debilitating; and
they were for me for a long time.
gained almost 20kg when I had my second baby.
I have binged food and starved myself.
I have suffered from depression and anxiety
I have had injuries that have made me feel like 1'm being held
back.
So when a beautiful client comes to me and opens up about
suffering with similar things, I. GET. YOU. I really really do.
Being fit & healthy and well mentally and physically shouldn't
be as complicated and hard as the world makes it out to be.
If it's what you want, I am here to help you gain access to
that. I LOVE to educate people, even if you're not my client
anyone who will listen really, on how to get to your goals.
l'm still not at my end goal. Maybe I never will be. But I am still
working toward it, and I am SO so grateful to past me for
outting in all the hard work to get me to where I am today
Send me a msg or pop down a little comment if you'd like to
chat! I am here for you!

One of the biggest mistakes I see in the
health and fitness industry is treating people as if they're all
the same,
The same training program
The same meal plan.
The same advice.
Yet no two people have the same body, injury history,
lifestyle, stress levels, sleep quality, work demands, habits,
goals, or motivations.
My approach is built around understanding the whole person
Whether someone is looking to overcome chronic pain,
recover from injury, lose weight, improve their health, or
enhance athletic performance, lasting results come from
addressing the factors driving the issue, not just treating the
symptoms,
Exercise, nutrition, movement quality, daily habits, stress,
sleep, mindset, and education all play a role (to name a few).
don't believe in shortcuts or the cookie-cutter approach
That's the foundation of The McLeod Method.
Or a shorter, punchier Linkedin version:
No two clients are the same and the whole picture MUST be
looked at for the most effective and lasting results
Because when you understand the person, the solution
becomes much clearer.
That's the approach behind The McLeod Method.
NEW research shows muscle growth can occur across a wide rep range, provided sets are taken reasonably close to failure.
One of the most cited papers on this is:
Brad Schoenfeld et al. (2017)
“Strength and Hypertrophy Adaptations Between Low- vs. High-Load Resistance Training”
The study found:
* heavier loads produced greater strength gains
* both lighter and heavier loads could build muscle when effort was sufficiently high.
Another foundational reference is:
American College of Sports Medicine, which outlines common loading and rep recommendations for strength, hypertrophy, and endurance. Low Reps & Heavy Weight vs High Reps & Lighter Weight.
In essence: If the weight is too easy, your body has little reason to adapt.
If it’s too heavy, your form and control usually break down. (This is one of the BIGGEST thibgs that I see in the gym that makes me cringe!)
A good set should feel challenging by the final few reps while still maintaining good technique.
That’s why two people can do the exact same exercise… but get completely different results.
Research supports the idea that different rep ranges produce different adaptations depending on the goal and training intensity.

Feel like getting healthy and fit has been made more complicated than it needs to be? Yeah, me too...
There's always new and conflicting advice being thrown around.
And the worst past is that most of them lead to short term change rather than sustainable results.
A lot of these methods also only focus on one or two parts of the problem. But our bodies and minds are a whole system, and need to be treated as such!
Scientifically speaking, for optimal results, we MUST look at the whole person.
My goal is to simplify things, give clarity, and help you understand what actually works for you so you can build something that you can maintain.
If this has sparked some interest somewhere inside you, comment “help” and I will reach out so we can chat about what is going on for you.

There are a lot of coaches who can just hand you a program.
Very few genuinely invest in the person behind the goal.
My coaching is built on genuine connection, high-level support, and an understanding that every person requires a different approach.
Behind every client is hours of work most people never see: reviewing check-ins, refining programs, adjusting nutrition strategies, analysing progress, researching solutions, providing support, and making sure nothing gets overlooked.
With over 10 years of experience and qualifications across training, nutrition, and wellbeing, my approach is built around understanding people properly: their lifestyle, mindset, stress, habits, limitations, strengths, and goals.
I care deeply about the people I coach.
Your wins matter to me. Your struggles matter to me. Your progress matters to me.
You're not treated like a number, a payment, or another transformation photo.
You're supported, guided, educated, challenged, and backed properly through the entire process!
This is a standard that I hold myself to as your coach.
