Story

At 37, a mother of two, I faced a profound challenge: a breast cancer diagnosis in Apr2022, led to a lumpectomy, sacrificing lymph nodes and a medical directive restricting me from lifting more than 5kgs. Despite the setback, fueled by unwavering support from my doctors, family, and fitness mentor, I defied the norm, returning to the gym just 29 days post-surgery. Adhering to prescribed exercises and gradually increasing weights, I shattered expectations. In a mere year and a half, I triumphantly lifted a 100kgs deadlift, transcending the prescribed 5kg limit.

In this journey, I discovered that resilience isn't merely physical; it's a testament to the power of the mind. The mantra, "Your body can stand almost anything; it's your mind you have to convince" became my guiding light. This experience not only strengthened my body but ignited a newfound vitality, fostering a deep appreciation for my own resilience.

Now, as a Wellness Advocate, I channel my journey into empowering women of all ages. I guide them towards understanding their bodies, embracing a healthy lifestyle, and cultivating strength. My story is a testament to the transformative power of overcoming adversity, instilling confidence, and inspiring others to lead robust, resilient lives.
