The Perfect FIT Coaching, Perth (2026)

06/05/2026

One day last week I cried for hours! 😭 Distraught & overcome by emotions, I was inconsolable with all of the above thoughts in my mind.

It’s normal to have worries & stress. On this morning though, every thought, feeling and fear came all at once- while some are based on genuine concerns, others are irrational and not my usual mindset. I know people deal with far worse, but in the midst of emotional overwhelm, everything seems massive.

I’m usually pretty even keeled in the mood department, but that day I wasn’t myself and didn’t know what was happening.

One day I was inconsolable with sadness. The next day- calmer. Such is the power of hormones.

I didn’t know whether to post this- I feel vulnerable doing so, but I’m sharing because I know I’m not the only woman in her 40s who sometimes feels crazy, doesn’t feel like herself anymore & is struggling with her emotions, sleep & energy. I know I’m not the only mum who questions the job she’s doing, the only human who is looking at the world with utter horror and helplessness or alone in experiencing life’s stresses.

For the last few months I’ve had a growing anxiety in my chest, a tightness and racing heart and shortness of breath- like I’m on the edge of a panic attack. Out of the blue and not brought on by thoughts. It happens randomly, sometimes all day. I thought it was just something happening in my body due to my hormones but in hindsight, maybe the last year has taken a toll & my fluctuating hormones have taken it to the next level.

I have felt like I’m going crazy! I know I’m not, but it’s hard to look from an objective perspective when you’re in the midst of little sleep and big feelings. We give teenagers a break due to their hormones running wild, maybe us perimenopausal women need a bit of a break too?

We definitely need to be kinder to ourselves & we also need to educate ourselves on the many symptoms at this age- physical AND mental due to our hormones. I’ve been learning about it to best help my clients (and myself) & it’s still knocking me on my a$s, even with knowledge!!!

I thought I was going crazy. I am not.
It’s perimenopause 😆
If you can relate, know you aren’t alone x

Why the smile? I slept through the whole night 🥳
And suddenly, my world seems like a brighter place 🤣

Like so many women in their 40s experience, my sleeping has been terrible for a little while and it’s had a major effect on everything in my life.

I’ve been snapping wide awake between 2-4 every morning. I struggle to go back to sleep and will often toss and turn while I inevitably count down the minutes to my alarm goes off.

In the mornings I have early clients, the wake ups set the scene for a crap start to the day. After lying awake and ruminating, I just don’t want to get up for work. I’ve never been like this, previously waking up between 4.15/ 5am most days of the week and loving getting clients done first thing in the morning.

On the mornings I don’t have work but plan for a walk or bike ride, the thought of waking up to exercise after not sleeping for hours is unfathomable. I actually can’t think of anything less I want to do. And then that sets the scene for a day where I think I should be more disciplined with my training and wake ups. It just dawned on me that I have a valid reason for the struggles and lack of motivation I’ve been experiencing. And it’s real!!!

Broken sleep and being tired often becomes our norm during perimenopause. It’s no wonder that sleep depravation is used as a torture method- it truly is tortuous 🤣

For me, ongoing disrupted and broken sleep led to minimal enthusiasm for most things in life especially getting up in the mornings, low energy, general low mood, feeling overwhelmed easily, not motivated to do much on social media for work and a lack of drive to exercise during the day. It’s also harder to eat consistently and have the energy to food prep, so it has felt like a no win situation lately.

So what changed last night? I don’t know exactly. My day was essentially the same as every other. The only change was that I recently added an extra pump of estrogel in the am and changed my progesterone to daily. Maybe it’s stable hormones for the win???? Which makes sense really! 😆

Let’s hope tonight it’s two in a row 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Online Coaching Review 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Shout out to the lovely Teresa for this amazing review and to acknowledge the effort she has put in over the last few months of online coaching together!

She came to me after a rough few months and desperately wanted to get back into the gym and feel great within herself again.

Our Online Coaching focused on gym workouts with emphasis on strength training for muscle growth and the nutrition component to educate and to eat for her body composition goals.

Like a sponge she has absorbed all of the info I’ve been giving her throughout the week and via our weekly check in forms, and implemented it spot on👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I’ve been impressed by her commitment not only to my program but to herself and her best health also! She has shown incredible discipline coming to the gym even when weeks at her work have been hectic.

Her long days traveling to the city for work and then home would make it easy for others to skip the gym and go straight home, but she really impressed me with her commitment to herself; I was always passing her on my way home in the evening when she was arriving ready to start her training.

She has made phenomenal steps with her nutrition, focusing on learning about good eating habits and macro choices and most importantly, nourishing her body for optimum energy to sustain her long days and workouts.

Keep up the amazing work Teresa, you’ve been a joy to work with 🌟

💪

Saying “ciao” to Michaela as she prepares to leave on an Italian adventure ✈️🇮🇹🍝🍕💻

I started working with Michaela when I first moved to Perth in 2019 and approached her on the gym floor at Goodlife Innaloo to join our challenge.

She joined the challenge AND we’ve been a part of each other’s lives ever since! We’ve been through so much in this time- COVID and my home studios, she remembers my girls as little primary school cuties and I’ve watched her grow her business from a solo set up to managing a whole team at Edge Creative. We’ve had heartbreaks, overseas travel, enjoyed pain free- peak physical condition periods, injuries and rehab, life stresses, a car crash and everything in between. And since I moved solely up to Clublime in Clarkson, she has been driving ALL the way up here to see me two times a week.

I may be losing her to a once in a lifetime Italian adventure but we have so many amazing memories together. And although I won’t get to see her for a while, I have gained her beautiful Mum and Sister, who have recently joined her on her expedition to see me each week.

Ti auguro il meglio, mio adorabile amico, far parte della tua vita e vederti crescere e svilupparti è stato meraviglioso negli ultimi 7 anni! Non vedo l’ora di vederti tra 6 mesi e ricorda, faccio coaching ONLINE così posso prenderti a calci in c**o dall’altra parte del pianeta 😆🤭🤣

(All the best my lovely friend, being a part of your life and watching you grow and develop has been wonderful over the last 7 years! I’m looking forward to seeing you in 6 months and remember, I do ONLINE coaching so I can kick your butt from the other side of the planet 😆🤭🤣)

Should add- loves a good canva design 🤭

A little bit about me as I motivate, empower and support women on their health & fitness journey!

I love being a Mum! I have been blessed with 3 beautiful, smart, kind and brilliant daughters. 3 teens could explain my occasional disheveled and slightly stressed appearance. It definitely explains the greys 🤣

I’ve been with Sam for 6 yrs & we spend the time we have together walking, hanging out, playing chess, eating out and when we can, working out or hiking.

I really do have the best sister in the world. I was blessed with amazing parents and they gave me a little sis who I LOVE! And although she initially came along and ruined my peaceful & spoilt only child life, I have accepted that she’s the best thing they’ve ever given me 😆

I love red wine and coffee 🍷☕️
Although I minimise my wine consumption and fully embrace my caffeine consumption 😆

I was lucky enough to have found a true calling in life through my own love of exercise. I adapted to life changes & have been able to take my personal passion and turned it into a career where I help others become the fittest and healthiest versions of themselves.

As I grow and change as a person, so too has my focus in coaching. I have always loved learning and continued to up-skill and study over the 13 years I’ve been in the industry.

I love coaching women- I understand how hard it is to prioritise our own health in the busy- ness of life with family and work responsibilities, because I’m in the same position!

This is a real driving force behind all that I do- to work with women be the best versions of themselves, helping them create good fitness and nutrition habits and set realistic and sustainable goals in the gym. Most importantly, guiding them to understand that their health must be a priority.

My biggest passion at the moment is helping women (and myself) THRIVE instead of just survive as we age- navigating hormones, weight, sleep, training to grow muscle & strengthen our bones, moving & eating well to be the best we can now & into the future!

What a year this girl has had! Heather is celebrating 1 year post surgery and thyroid cancer diagnosis.

It’s been a year of adjusting to a new health normal, learning about her body, appreciating how strong and resilient she and her body is, and how important it is to never take good health for granted.

While always proactive towards her health, she is even more so after this scare and is now incorporating the check ups and tests into her routine, while educating herself as much as possible on what she and her body have been going through; the ramifications following her surgery and what she needs to be mindful of moving forward.

As her coach we have been on a journey together of our own, as we navigated her health, fitness and nutrition in the lead up to her operation, post surgery and the year following, making changes to sessions where needed, adjusting exercises and focusing on a holistic approach to her health.

She has had a massive amount on her plate recovering from surgery and the scare of the post op diagnosis while juggling a big house move and growing her successful Occupational Therapy business. Throughout, she has still maintained consistency with her training and remained focused on her nutrition.

She has continued to eat as best she can over fluctuating recovery and energy levels, always learning more about macros and how her body responds to foods and is nearly hitting her year weight loss goal.

Watching her navigate significant challenges, personal, business AND health growth, and life’s usual up and downs is inspiring- she focuses on consistently doing the best she can, where she is on a given day and a given week. By doing this she has had a 12 months she can be proud of- personally and in the gym!

Like us all, she can be incredibly hard on herself but with a little reminding, can look back and see how many hurdles she has overcome and how many success she has had. With many, many more to come!

Happy anniversary and here’s to a an amazing next 12 months of health, fitness and loving life ###
