“I have had the pleasure of being a client of Carlien’s from a personal trainer and massage therapist perspective for close to four years, and I can confidently say that my experience has been nothing short of transformative. When I started with Carlien,  I was really struggling to exercise without pain during and after my runs. Within a few months,  I was already noticing the pain easing and found I was enjoying my running again.

As a personal trainer, Carlien has demonstrated that she is very technically astute.  I find her vast knowledge of the mechanics of the body quite remarkable, and with her being an athlete herself, she has some valuable learnings from her own injuries and rehabilitation. Carlien tailors each session to meet my specific needs, always having a range of exercises and stretches in her repertoire to assist with any ailment. She is always very particular at ensuring proper form and technique while explaining the reason why it is important. She has a positive energy, is always extremely encouraging and motivates me to be fit and healthy.

In addition to the training, Carlien is also a skilled sports massage therapist. Due to having scoliosis, I have been to massage therapists my whole life, and can honestly say Carlien is one of the best. She identifies the problem areas quickly while effectively working out the tension and soreness. The combination of personalised fitness training and effective massage therapy has truly improved both my physical strength and overall well-being.

What sets Carlien apart is her genuine care for my progress and health. She takes the time to listen, adapt, and ensure that I'm always working toward my best self. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a comprehensive and practical approach to fitness and recovery.”
