Ophelia’s a personal trainer and McGill Method practitioner with over 30 years in the fitness industry. She didn’t come to Lead From The Front™ in crisis. She came because she believed, correctly, that even someone good at what she does can always get better.
On the professional side, working alone for years meant she had nobody to challenge her thinking or hold her accountable. Since joining, she’s grown as a coach, questions herself in a way that keeps her sharper, and had the confidence to take on new qualifications, like her McGill training, she might otherwise have talked herself out of. Her business and her client results have both grown as a result.
Physically, she’d spent years pushing through pain rather than listening to her body, which eventually cost her a serious knee injury and forced her off running altogether. She’s since rebuilt the balance between pushing and recovering properly, and at nearly 59, she’s stronger and fitter than she was in her 20s, 30s, and 40s.
