About Me April 13, 2008

Dear Visitor,

As a proud South African, I spent the first 7 years of my life growing up in a tiny dot on the map called Rundu (on the border of Namibia and Angola).  Life had a slow pace during that time.  Often the most exciting event would be yet another dust particle floating by … but they were the best years.  It has probably been the only time in my life that I was truly a child and enjoying the freedoms of such.  It certainly was carefree days …

From there the family headed to Cape Town where we lived many years.  In-between we spent a glorious 5 years in the heart of the Little Karoo in a town called Oudtshoorn … now famous for the annual ABSA KKNK Arts Festival. In 2001 I was blessed with the opportunity to travel to the UK.  Needless to say, I grabbed it with open arms and soon embraced the bone-chillingly cold weather.  I could only survive 9 months in London after which the desire to have nature around me again set in.  And thus I traveled to Scotland where I spent a glorious 8 months!  When it was time to move on again, I had never anticipated what would happen next in my life.  I had scheduled a 2 week vacation visiting my beautiful sister in Dubai …  almost 6 years later, I have become part of the desert sand.  Dubai is now where I call HOME.  It is my life and I love it!!

It was only in 2003 that I was inspired by a great friend to explore the world of fitness and how to push our bodies onto another level.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and trained consistently for 4 to 5 days a week.  I was always thinking of how I could improve doing certain exercises with the least amount of equipment.  I feel I have succeeded greatly in this area and make it my niche when training clients.  After doing the Gulf for Good Tsunami Challenge (Sri Lanka) in August 2005, I took time out to really look into what I wanted for the rest of my life.  The answer was amazingly very simple and in 2006 I successfully completed my Personal Fitness Trainer and Pilates Mat & Ball Trainer Certifications.  I am very thankful to my family and dear friends who stood by me during this time when encouragement was most needed.

I sincerely hope that my own personal journey may continue to inspire everyone to “Look, Feel and Stay” young forever on the inside and outside. 

Evelyn
