What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Happiness is being content in who you are, having self compassion. It is to laugh more, let go of what you can’t change and just love others with a sincere heart. For me, I’m even happier when the people around me are happy.

2. What is your pet hate?

Negative Talk – Like when we break someone else down to make ourselves feel better.
3. What do you fear?

Disappointing people close to me.

What is the strangest instruction your coach has ever given you?

To tell him what I session I think I should do!

What is your greatest extravagance?

I am a big coffee lover!

What words/phrases do you overuse?

I’m hungry 😀 / That’s nice

What talent (outside of sport) would you like to have?

To be able to bake like a professional

What movie/book should everyone watch/read?

Movie: Unbroken Book: Redeeming Love

What is your favourite place to rest?

Being near the ocean
