Hi, I'm Catherine

I help people understand themselves.

For years, I believed my problem was my body.

What I eventually discovered was that lasting change had very little to do with finding the perfect diet or training program and everything to do with understanding the person following it.

Long before I entered the fitness industry, I studied counselling, human behaviour and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I became fascinated by why some people thrive through challenges while others remain stuck in patterns that no longer serve them.

At the same time, I was raising four children, building a career in high-performance environments and trying to navigate my own challenges with health, confidence and consistency.

After two spinal surgeries and years of struggling with my weight, I realised that knowing what to do and consistently doing it were two very different things.

The lessons I learned through counselling, mindset work and behaviour change became the foundation for my own transformation. I have lost more than 50kg, rebuilt my confidence and ultimately stepped onto the bodybuilding stage, becoming a National Champion Bikini and Swimsuit Athlete.

Bodybuilding has been the greatest personal growth journey of my life. It taught me that sustainable change isn’t built through motivation alone. It’s built through self-awareness, accountability and the daily choices that shape who we become.

My own transformation strengthened a belief I had held for years through counselling and NLP: lasting change happens when mindset, behaviour and action align. Expanding my education in fitness, nutrition and human performance allowed me to bring those pieces together through the coaching approach I use today.

Today, that’s exactly what we do at Elev8Me.

We don’t just focus on training programs and meal plans. We help people understand themselves, build better habits and create results they can sustain long after the excitement of a new goal wears off.

Because lasting transformation isn’t just about changing your body.

It’s about becoming the person capable of maintaining the life you want.
