I Am Naia

My journey began in the Barbara Benson Dance Academy in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England.  I was a little too old at 12 to start learning Classical Ballet so Barbara offered me Modern Classical Jazz lessons but in less than one term I joined her ballet class.  As the months and years passed she added Street/Disco Dance and I collected awards as I worked through the grades under the tutelage of Julia Trillo.  I became an Amateur Stage Dancer.

​

At age 18 I became the youngest and first Aerobics Instructor at the school.  In university in Marseille and Aix-en-Provence I began to train with a group of body builders (The BodyBoyz) who were also dancers and this was the start of my interest in weight lifting.

​

My subsequent career in Media and the Financial Sector took me to interesting companies in London but fitness was my elixir.  I learned to jog, ran half marathons for charity, trained on my own, went to group classes and still wanted more.  My Trainer at the time, KT Curtin, challenged me and I loved it!  After falling in love with the HIIT approach to training I certified as an Insanity Live Instructor with Beachbody, certified as a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer, specialised in Massage Therapy and then focused on Oncology Massage Therapy.

​

As a professional Wellness Coach and Therapist, my main focus is guiding people towards a healthier lifestyle. Every body is unique; each with its own strengths and limitations. My method is to listen to your body and build a customised plan based on your fitness level, specific health needs, physique and fitness goals. My aim is not only to equip you with the tools to transform your body but to empower you with knowledge and skills to make more mindful decisions and choices about your health, fitness and wellbeing.
