After multiple sporting injuries, including 3 ACL reconstructions, and having some incredible physios along the way, I originally got into personal training thinking it would be the perfect pathway towards becoming a physiotherapist, with the flexibility to work alongside university.
In April 2020, just after gyms closed during the pandemic, I was forced to pause my business. It was tough, but I took the opportunity to start studying again. I enrolled in a diploma to complete the prerequisites for a Masters of Physiotherapy… but along the way, I discovered Exercise Physiology at UniSC, a profession I had never heard of before, and one that doesn’t exist in France.
While Exercise Physiologists don’t diagnose like physios, we do something just as powerful: we find ways to train and rehabilitate through injuries, chronic conditions, and setbacks; we do it safely, progressively, and always with the patient’s goals and quality of life in mind.
I continued working full-time in the fitness industry to support myself, teaching the next generation of personal trainers while completing my degree (and juggling another 4–5 jobs teaching scuba diving, kitesurfing, first aid courses…).
I was hoping to complete the 4-year degree in 6 years. It took me 5.5 years.
Late nights, long days, and very little time for sport or personal life, but I chose to see university as a hobby, something I was doing for myself.
Yesterday, I officially graduated as an Exercise Physiologist.
I’m grateful for every challenge, every setback, and every person who supported me along the way: my friends, my family from afar, my uni classmates, my employers and my clients who trusted me and allowed me to keep going.
This is just the beginning 🤍
