Tracy, 55

“I’ve had the privilege of training with Carlien for over 12 years, beginning when we both lived in Cape Town it was in person and now we work online. Over that time, she has guided me through countless phases—whether I was working toward specific fitness goals, recovering from injury, or rehabilitating after both foot and shoulder operations.

What sets Carlien apart is her holistic approach. She takes the time to understand not just where I am physically, but also what I need at each stage of life. Our training has always been tailored—sometimes focused on strength and performance, and at other times prioritising mobility, stretching, or recovery, depending on my health and personal circumstances.

Her deep knowledge of both training and sports massage, combined with her intuitive, adaptable style, has been invaluable. I feel stronger, healthier, and more in tune with my body because of her care and expertise.”
