about rhiannon
Hi! I'm Rhiannon, and if you've ever felt like fitness spaces weren't made for your brain, you're in the right place.
At 30, everything finally clicked when I was diagnosed with autism and ADHD. Suddenly, it all made sense; why gyms felt overwhelming, why typical workout plans never stuck, and why I'd spent years feeling like I was failing at something that seemed so easy for everyone else.
But here's the thing: I wasn't failing. The system was failing me. And it’s probably failing you, too.
I've lost over 100lbs without surgery or medication.
Truthfully, I've gained some back.
Life happened. Burnout happened. Mental health tumbled.
Look, I'm not here to sell you a perfect transformation story because that's not how life works.
What I can offer you is something more valuable: someone who understands that progress isn't linear, that setbacks are normal, and that sustainable change happens when you work with your brain, not against it.
I help people who want to improve their health.
To ‘be healthier’ and ‘get fitter’ in whatever way you want it to be.
For me, losing weight wasn’t the goal.
I just wanted to BE healthier. I wanted to FEEL better.
Losing weight happens because when you eat mindfully and move your body more, you’ll see changes like that. But the main thing for me? Its about finding health and fitness for your body AND your mind, and that can look different to everyone.
You won’t see any 8 week shreds with me. You will see someone who will advocate for you, your health and your fitness. But most importantly, you’ll have someone who will support you outside of the gym and help you to learn the tools you need to reach your goals.
I get it. Because I've lived it.
My Reason Why
After my diagnosis, I realised how many of us have been trying to force ourselves into neurotypical fitness moulds.
We might be masking our way through group classes, pushing through sensory overwhelm, and beating ourselves up when we can't stick to rigid routines that don't account for how our brains actually work.
I became a personal trainer because I wanted to create the space I wish I'd had; one where you don't have to pretend to be someone you're not to get healthy.
What Makes Me Different
I'm qualified, not just experienced.
I hold certifications in gym instruction, nutrition, and personal training, with more qualifications in progress. But my real expertise comes from combining professional training with lived experience.
I understand sensory needs.
Bright lights, loud music, crowded spaces; I know how overwhelming they can be. My approach considers your sensory world, not just your fitness goals.
I work with executive function, not against it.
ADHD brain? Autistic need for routine? I get it. My programs include flexible scheduling, accountability systems, and habit-building that actually sticks.
I celebrate neurodivergent strengths.
This isn't about fixing what's "wrong" with you. It's about building on what makes your brain amazing and finding movement that feels good in your body.
The Not So Typical Approach:
-
Sensory-Aware Training
Environments, movements, and equipment selected to prevent overwhelm and maximise comfort.
-
Executive Function Support
Flexible scheduling, reminders, and accountability systems that work with ADHD and autistic brains.
-
Routine Building
Gradual, sustainable habit formation that avoids the burnout cycle
-
Embracing Your Strengths
Focus on what your unique neurotype brings to fitness rather than trying to force neurotypical approaches.
Beyond Personal Training
I'm not just about one-on-one sessions. I'm building a movement—a community where neurodivergent people can find their place in fitness.
Through my podcast, I share honest conversations about everything from gym anxiety to late diagnosis. In my free community, you'll find support, resources, and connection with others who get it. And yes, I also speak at events about neurodivergence, inclusivity, and making fitness accessible to everyone.
The Bottom Line
This isn't about chasing someone else's idea of perfect. It's about building confidence, understanding your body, and learning to move in ways that actually work for you.
You belong here. You deserve to be healthy. And you don't have to change who you are to get there.
