get to know me!
Coach : Lesley
Since I was a little kid I have always struggled with realizing who I really am. I have always felt lost, trying to be someone I am not, just to keep the chaos around me as much at peace as possible. My life has always been hectic, I had to deal with grown up problems, even when I was as old as six years.
About four years ago I collapsed, everything turned out to be to much for me and I entered a depression. I have struggled with everything that you can imagine being related to being depressed, like body dismorphia, self-harm and eating disorders. During all this I have never loosed hope, I have done everything I could in my power to make me feel better. I have lived in mental health care, I have done all kinds of therapy, spoken to many psychiatrist, but nothing has helped me the right way.
It wasn't untill 1,5 years ago I started to feel drastically better. As this was the time I started to go to the gym again. I started weight lifting regularly and started eating way healthier. Moving my body and giving it the right fuel gave so much energy and confidence. I felt like I was reborn.
Half a year ago I decided I wanted to take this whole bodybuilding thing more seriously and I got a coach. I realized how valuable it is to have guidance from someone who makes you feel heard and understood. I immediately felt like this was something I needed to do too. At first I didn't want to be honest about this to myself, because I was still a little stuck at trying to be that perfect picture I made for myself a couple years ago. But eventually I realized that's not me anymore, so I dropped out of school and started getting my Personal Trainer degree.
At this moment I am still finishing up my exams, but I couldn't wait any longer too start sharing my knowledge with you.
