It has been an incredible journey! From my initial and tentative attempts on a paddleboard nearly 10 years ago at the age of 46 to starting my Performance Coach Pathway in 2025.

 

It has been a whirlwind of paddling adventures, #ShePaddles Ambassador, training, coaching, podcasts, more paddling, filming for Paddle UK (Paddle Safer & Safety Awareness) & shortlisted for Delivery Partner Awards.  

 

I have written articles for British Canoeing (now Paddle UK) and was a regular contributor to 

SUPMag UK.  ​Here you can read my interviews with inspiring women coaches, paddlers and Paddle UK #ShePaddles Ambassadors for SUPMag UK. 

 

Listen to me chatting with Simon at SUPFM, with Jo Moseley for her podcast The Joy of SUP.

​

I set up my business, Wotbikini Stand Up Paddleboarding and became a  Paddle UK Delivery Partner in 2021.  My original aim? To introduce and support women build their paddling skills, knowledge, confidence & community on the water. And, I have met, coached, guided, tutored, learnt and laughed with the most amazing & inspiring women.  

​

For the last three years, I have been delighted to extend my portfolio, supporting the Canal & River Trust (East Midlands) - Wellbeing Programme.  As well as paddling clubs, aspirant Paddle UK Coaches  and Instructors. 

​

I am a Paddle UK (BCAB) Level 3 SUP Coach & SUP Sheltered Water Coach Tutor.  

​

​And when not on a paddleboard, you will find me exploring WW kayaking. 

​

Look forward to seeing you on the water!
