About

Kia ora! I’m Chels and I’m a proud māmā to my little girl Sienna.

I’ve always had such a strong passion for fitness. I notice how much more alive and healthy I feel both inside and out when I am moving my body.

Since becoming a mum, I’ve come to appreciate movement in an even deeper way, as a form of self-care, strength, and resilience. Whether it’s a sweaty workout, a grounding yoga session, or a walk with my girl, it all reminds me that I’m capable, present, and connected to myself.

Two of my fellow mum friends and I started a local walking group for mums and bubs — a safe, supportive space for women to connect and move. It’s been so lovely to see how much strength and connection can come from something as simple as getting out in the fresh air together.

I’m passionate about showing other women, especially mums, that taking time to look after your body isn’t selfish — it’s essential! My journey is about finding balance, building strength (physically and emotionally), and setting an example for Sienna to grow up knowing what it means to move with purpose and love herself fully.
