I competed in my first natural bodybuilding figure competition in 2002. Six months prior to that, I won a Body Transformation contest in a national magazine, which is what started my career in fitness and bodybuilding.

Since then I have qualified for and competed twice in the Australian titles, placing both times in large classes. I plan to continue competing for as long as I can; no matter how difficult it can be at times, I find the discipline of the sport immensely gratifying.

Apart from keeping myself healthy and in shape, my other passion is helping other women (and men) meet their own physique transformation goals. Ideal Bodies Online has grown from my hobby and favorite pastime, to an amazingly successful business.

As the creator and owner of this business and web site, I witness truly amazing and inspiring transformations from clients all over the world on a regular basis - not just external transformations, but perhaps even more importantly, internal ones.

Every day I count my blessings for what is truly a remarkable opportunity to touch people's lives in a way that will help them live a healthier and happier life. Seeing my clients progress from tired, unhappy, overweight and often self-loathing people, to strong, healthy, confident and beautiful individuals (inside and out!), gives me tremendous satisfaction that I will be forever grateful. To know that I have touched and can touch my clients' lives in some small way is a remarkable feeling.
