Pushy Friend,

My
Story
Mental health should never be a taboo
If you’d told me years ago that I’d be running a fitness coaching business, I would have laughed. Hard.
My relationship with food? That’s always been solid. But fitness? Let’s just say it wasn’t love at first sight. To be honest, I was the girl hiding behind bushes during high school PE sessions. Sports? No thanks. On the other hand, I always made time to cook homemade meals — though I wasn’t one to say no to a post-night-out Big Mac or go easy on the bread and cheese (thank you, French heritage).
Fast forward to the pandemic: one year in and fresh from a bad breakup, I realised I needed to make some changes. I committed to improving my fitness and nutrition, and while the journey hasn’t been smooth, it’s been worth it. Discipline and consistency kept me going, and the rewards—better mental health and a stronger sense of self.
Along the way, I wanted to ensure I wasn’t just guessing about what works, so I completed Level 2 qualifications in Counselling Skills and in Personal Exercise and Nutrition. These have equipped me with the knowledge to support others in creating sustainable habits, building healthier lifestyles, and staying motivated when the going gets tough.
So why turn this into a business? Because too many people still struggle in silence, waiting until their challenges feel overwhelming. Mental health should never be a taboo. My mission is to support those feeling stuck, helping them untangle their thoughts and see life more clearly, because a healthy mind leads to a healthy body.
This mission is deeply personal to me. I've struggled with severe anxiety myself, and I know how hard it can be to break free from that mental fog. But I also know that moving my body, eating well, and having the right support made all the difference. That’s why Pushy Friend isn’t just about fitness, it’s about building confidence, finding balance, and creating a mindset that allows you to thrive.
And because I truly believe in giving back, I’ve decided to turn this mission into action. For every membership package purchased, £10 will be donated to Mind, a UK mental health charity, to support those facing their own struggles. No one should have to go through it alone, and if Pushy Friend can be a small part of making someone’s journey easier, then I know I’m doing something meaningful.
