Can’t wait to swing my hair again 🏃‍♀️

Soft ankles leak force.
Stiff ankles kill flow.

Fix what you’re missing.

The best athletes can do both.

2016
What a great year!
So much fun. So much energy.
I honestly have no idea how I fit all of it into one day - training for myself, working an office job, building a business, and still going out at night like sleep was optional.

Wild times. Zero balance. Zero regrets.
But full of life. ❤️‍🔥 My late twenties

#2016

I don’t recognise my days anymore.

No training.
No sweating.
No pushing.
No pain I chose.

Just lying down.
Waiting.
Managing symptoms.
Counting hours instead of reps.

I am an athlete.
I am a coach.
Or at least… I was.

When your body is taken away from you,
you don’t just lose movement -
you lose language, routine, identity.

Competition photos on my phone show the athlete I’ve built,
even if I can’t step into that role at the moment.

And that’s the hardest part:
not the pain,
not the fear,
but asking yourself -
who am I when the thing that defines me is taken away?

Maybe strength isn’t always built by doing more.
Maybe sometimes it’s built by not breaking when you’re forced to stop.

By staying patient when everything in you wants to push.
By trusting that this isn’t weakness - it’s part of the process.

I don’t have all the answers yet.
But I know this:

I’m still an athlete - even when I can’t train.
I’m still a coach - even when I can’t demonstrate.
And I’m still moving forward,
even if right now, that movement is invisible.

This isn’t where the story stops.
It’s where it deepens.

I’ve been quieter here lately - and for a reason.

My injury forced me to slow down.
So I shifted my energy into my business.

And instead of fighting the injury, I went with it - and used the time to do what most athletes skip: reflect.

Not just on training volume or numbers, but on:
– what actually works
– what just feels productive
– what the body keeps asking for

Before the year changes, I like to do this across all areas:
training, personal, and professional life.

I don’t like leaving progress on the table.
I lived/trained a full year — and it would be a waste not to take the learnings with me just because I’m afraid to look honestly at both mistakes and successes.

So, take a step back to make two steps forward in 2026 🙌

A madhouse 😅 but honestly the best madhouse you could wish to work in.

People you wanna have around!

Just thank you!

This party was our whole year wrapped into one night - laughter (a lot of it), dedication, real crew love, hard work and celebration.

Sad there’s no picture with everyone who was there… but yeah, that’s probably exactly how the night should’ve been 😅

If your partner is an A+, you walk into challenges like …

The sky is no limit.

Surround yourself with lifters — not weight.

Ladiiiies - we’re breaking limits, clichés, and all the bu****it stories we tell ourselves. ⚡️

This week… we trained a lot. 🥵
We pushed hard, hit physical limits, and still found a way to go further.

But this camp wasn’t just about sweating.
It was about understanding how you move — and why.
I almost gave more workshops than workouts this time - and honestly, I loved it. ❤️

We went deep into the technical side of training - movement patterns, mechanics, and awareness.
Because once you see what’s really happening - how your body moves, compensates, or limits itself - you can finally make a conscious decision to change.

We also spoke a lot about training planning - how to structure your sessions smart, how to balance intensity and recovery, and how to make your training actually work for you.

That’s where clarity happens.
That’s where progress starts.

You don’t go home just stronger.
You go home more aware, more precise, and in control of your own process.

We humans are funny — we chase more, faster, harder…
but sometimes, the real breakthrough is in slowing down, observing, and understanding.

Thank you Women’s Health Camp for giving me the platform to share this - to connect, to teach, and to bring knowledge that truly empowers. 🫶

I am so damn hungry to get out there and compete again. For me. For my team. For everything we’ve been building.

Competition has always meant something special to me. It’s my tunnel – the place where the border between body and willpower disappears. Where you stop thinking and just are.

Right now, I’m forced to pause, to respect the signals of my body. But that fire inside? It’s only growing stronger. Every setback, every challenge, every “not yet” is just sharpening the edge.

When I come back, I’ll come back with even more drive – not just to race, but to show what’s possible when you refuse to let obstacles define you.

This is just the calm before the storm. 🌪️
