Every woman
starts somewhere.

For years my relationship with my body was a war. An eating disorder, a head full of negative self-talk, endless cardio, overtraining and under-eating, and a cycle that left me insecure and exhausted every single day. I remember crying and wondering if any of it was worth it.

Weight training is what turned it around. Fuelling my body instead of punishing it, training to be strong instead of small. Somewhere along the way I fell in love with feeling strong, and I still think it is the best feeling in the world. Nothing else comes close to it.

It made me the happiest and healthiest I have ever been, and it became the whole reason I started coaching women. Every decision inside ALTER comes from that.

I battled eating disorders from fourteen into my early twenties. I lived in fear of food, cycled through fad diet after fad diet, and pushed my body until my health, my energy, my period and my peace of mind all paid for it. So when a woman tells me she feels trapped in that cycle, I am not reading it from a textbook. I lived it.

At twenty-one I decided to change my life. At twenty-two I stepped into bodybuilding, not to punish my body but to finally understand it. Through education, patience and proper nourishment, I rebuilt my relationship with food, with movement, and with myself.

Becoming a mother deepened all of it, and having just had my baby, I am living it right now. Pregnancy, postpartum and breastfeeding have humbled me and taught me to coach a body through constant change, to surrender control, and to respect a body that grows, heals and sustains life. It has given me an admiration for the female body I did not know was possible.

This was never about shrinking yourself. It is about resilience, confidence, and a body that supports your life instead of controlling it. Six years in, more than a hundred women coached, and never once a copy-and-paste plan. Every body responds differently, and yours deserves to be understood.
