Purpose

From chasing fleeting highs to conquering 100-mile ultramarathons, my journey has been a rollercoaster of challenges, triumphs, and self-discovery. Along the way, I’ve redefined what it means to find release—from self-destruction to self-mastery, from temporary escapes to lasting fulfillment.

I’ve set course records in the scorching Tankwa Desert and conquered the rugged terrain of the Drakensberg Mountains, solo and unsupported. But beyond the miles logged and races won, my story is about finding purpose through movement and embracing a holistic approach to life.

My Philosophy

In my coaching, I strive to help you find your spark, whether it’s through running or other avenues. I believe that exercise is more than just burning calories—it’s about igniting your spirit and discovering your “why.” That’s why I blend evidence-based training with real-world experience and deep empathy, crafting personalised paths to your goals.
