Contact Coach• From F&B to Fitness: Turning Passion into a New Direction
Before becoming a coach at STEEL, I spent over four years working in the F&B industry at five-star hotels in Melbourne. This environment allowed me to hone my communication skills and develop a deep understanding of customer psychology—key elements not only in providing excellent service but also in my journey as a coach. Transitioning from F&B to Fitness was a significant change, but the skills I gained in the F&B industry made the shift smooth and effective.
• The Only Vegetarian Coach at STEEL
Three years ago, I decided to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle to reduce harm to animals, improve overall health, and contribute to environmental protection. As the only vegetarian coach at STEEL, this choice has not only sparked curiosity but also helped me carve out a unique path in my profession.
I’ve spent a great deal of time researching nutrition and vegetarian diets, which has enabled me to design customized training programs. I particularly focus on supporting beginners and those transitioning from yoga or pilates to resistance training. The combination of a vegetarian lifestyle and strength training not only enhances health but also brings balance to both the body and mind.
• Post-Pandemic: When Health Became the Top Priority
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve noticed a remarkable shift: people have become increasingly aware of the importance of health.
This was also the time when I began my coaching journey at STEEL, where I’ve had the privilege of working with many clients over the past three years. Each client has their own story, and my mission is to help them overcome personal limits and build the best version of their physical and mental health. I believe that health is not just a goal but a meaningful journey that we embark on together.
