“I now have the strength and mobility to complete my goal hikes, and more”

Catherine Walker, 53 years old

“I tried to maintain active life style through running, hiking and swimming. But I tore my left ACL 4 years again, then had breast cancer 2 years ago, and suffered from very low thyroid function following treatment and had lost strength, fitness, energy and confidence in my body.

Training weekly with Kirsty has enabled me to regain my strength and mobility, particularly in my lower body. At the beginning of the year my goal was to be able to do a number of hikes planned for as mid-year holiday in the mid west of WA. I was able to do all the hikes I wanted to and more - and thoroughly enjoyed exploring in more remote areas of our state. My new goal is to complete the Cape to Cape hike in September 2022!

I love the positive vibe, friendly atmosphere, and encouragement I receive coming to SMA. I don’t ever feel out of place or unwelcome. I’m encouraged by the variety of ages, shapes and abilities of the people who attend, and the holistic approach to health and well being.

I thoroughly recommend Kirsty for her encouragement, professionalism, commitment, support and warmth. I don’t think I’ll go anywhere else!”
