My goal is to help women who are navigating the perimenopause and beyond to discover the importance, skills and power of strength training.

This is an absolute priority as we age and for many of us requires a complete change of mindset towards exercise. This is where I come in.

I hold certifications in Personal Training, Exercise Referral for Health Management, Nutrition and Weight Management and Sports Massage, with a focus on evidence‑based approaches tailored to the unique needs of women in peri‑ and post‑menopause.

My Personal Training programmes are designed to respect the science of training for women, and challenge the outdated idea that aging means decline. Frailty is not inevitable! You can have complete privacy and train 1-1, or partner up with a friend and book a 2-1 session, or package, to start your journey in a supported, motivational environment.

Fortabella means “Strong” and “Beautiful”. We now know that strength training improves metabolic health, bone density, cognitive function, and long‑term independence. Yet many of us grew up being told to shrink ourselves, avoid weights, and prioritise calorie‑burn over capability. That narrative was never based on science — it was based on culture.

You are part of a growing movement of women who realise that by getting the right balance of cardio and resistance training now, they will still be fit, strong and independent long into old age… why settle for anything less!?
