21 months between these two moments.
From a full leg cast after rupturing my Achilles followed by surgery to repair it and an infection following that… to running strong and taking out 1st place in my women’s 5K.
What changed? Not everything overnight — just the decision to keep moving, even when it looked different.
Rehab wasn’t about going hard. It was about showing up.
Slowing down. Rebuilding. Trusting the process.
My Motivating-Me home workouts became my anchor — giving me a way to move safely, rebuild strength, and stay consistent through every stage of recovery.
I didn’t “bounce back.” I built back — stronger, more resilient, and more grateful than ever.
If you’re coming back from injury, or just trying to find your way back into movement, you don’t have to go all in — you just have to start.

The 25th South Island Masters Games is officially open! 🎉
Something big is coming to Timaru this spring, and we couldn’t be more excited to host this milestone event from 2 - 11 October 2026.
This special 25th edition is about more than just medals, it’s a celebration of community, determination, and a shared love of sport across the region.
Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just in it for the social vibes, this is one event you don’t want to miss.
Secure your team, lock in your spot, and get ready for one of the best sporting events of the year!
Rain or shine, we get it done — now indoors on Tuesdays and still bringing the energy outdoors (Trinity Hall on College Road), Thursdays at the Soundshell steps.
These sessions are short, sharp, and seriously effective… and at just $7.50, there’s no excuse not to move your body and feel good doing it.
You can still be part of it — jump onto the Motivating-Me Complete Wellness platform, start with a free 7-day trial, and keep the momentum going for as little as $8 a week.
School holidays are here… which means more snacks, more chaos, and a whole lot more energy to burn 😅
Instead of hearing “I’m bored” on repeat, let’s get the kids moving (and give yourself a breather too 🙌)
Our Motivating-Me Complete Wellness platform has something for everyone — quick home workouts, fun movement ideas, and routines you can do together or solo.
✨ Try it FREE for 7 days

I am a Mum to four amazing children Mackenzie 10yrs, Isabelle 9yrs, Jonty 7yrs and Will 10months. I am married to Dylan and we live in Timaru, New Zealand!
I have been heavily involved in Health and Fitness for the past 17 years. Initially, I was in Education where I spent four years at University training and then teaching Physical Education, Health, Science and Biology at Secondary Level. After having my three oldest children, I then entered the Health and Fitness industry where I spent 5 years as a Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor, Les Mills Group Fitness Instructor and also designed and instructed exercise classes specific for those aged over 65 years in both the water and on land. I then entered full time work again where I was a Director of Sport at a very highly sort after Secondary School here in Timaru before resigning leading up to the birth of Will.
Since having my fourth child, my desire to motivate, educate, inspire and support others to improve their Health and Wellness has been taken to the next level, as I launched my two groups “Self-Love” and “Move to Improve” under my business Motivating Mums on May 1st 2020.
“Self-Love” is a private group designed around both the mental and physical aspect of your Wellbeing. It is through this group where I give my clients the tools to review and improve their own lifestyle. My goal is for my clients to create a healthy, happy and MAINTAINABLE lifestyle, one where they; create a healthy relationship with food, eat a balanced diet with no food groups eliminated, participate in regular exercise, develop a positive mindset, learn to LOVE themselves and become comfortable in their own skin. This comes down to choices, choosing to become the BEST version of themselves by utilising the tools, knowledge, ideas and motivation that I offer.
“Move to Improve” is a private group where I instruct LIVE 10-20min daily workouts, sessions are either CORE, Low Impact or High Impact. My focus is to ensure the understanding around the correct technique and educate my clients around the movements, as I provide support, encouragement and inspiration to my clients who are of various ages, gender and abilities. If we are moving we are improving!
Like I mentioned above, I have had experience with developing and delivering exercise classes to those over 65yrs. I missed this contact and connection with this age group, so in June 2020 I launched ‘Golden Groovers” where twice a week here in Timaru at No.5 George Street I take classes covering flexibility, balance, strength, cardio and pelvic floor strength. These are super FUN and social, followed by a coffee and muffin up the street afterwards.
My life experience and positive outlook filters through into my groups. I have passion and drive to help those who wish to improve their wellness and take it to the next level!
