About Me

Hi, I’m Fiona, health coach and creator of the Active Break Method, a practical, science-backed approach to fitness designed for busy women in their 40s.

I help women integrate 5-minute active breaks into the workday so they can move more, sit less, and feel better. Whether you're restarting your fitness journey, stuck in a desk job that leaves you drained, or just need a routine that fits your life, I’m here to help.

I’ve been in your shoes. In my 40s, a little overweight and managing health challenges, I found myself struggling to rebuild the fitness habits I thought I had. Covid magnified everything, the sitting, the stress, the slow creep of aches and fatigue. What worked in my 20s no longer worked, and it was a shock to realise my body didn’t just bounce back like it used to.

That led me to dive into my MSc Dance Science research and develop a framework that helped me rebuild my fitness, balance my workday, and feel better overall, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Now, I use that same framework to support others through practical, science-informed coaching. I help you integrate simple, sustainable movement habits into your day so you can feel
more energised, capable, and confident in your body, no matter your starting point.

If you're ready to start the journey, let’s connect.
