I started my journey in my teens with very simple aim to gain weight, build muscle and become curvier. Being a runner and one of the taller girls, I always felt paranoid about being ‘lanky’. 

I fell in love with weight training in the gym and transformed my physique whilst studying at university. But soon the goal posts soon moved when I started competing in IFBB Bikini shows.

Although I took lots of wins and I learned so much about my own capabilities, it came at a cost to my health. I am thankful for the discipline which bodybuilding taught me but I lost much of the muscle I had built over the years by chasing an unhealthy obsession for being lean on stage.
