The Crew
Studio Rubix grew from a wee brainstorm whilst co-founders Kate and Toby were living in Russia balancing babies, professional rugby and culture shock. Health & wellness is a bit like a Rubik’s Cube; a little unpredictable and a constant challenge to juggle the various elements. There’s the physical, your nutrition, mental health, social relationships, restorative health & self-identity. Many people do not have balance. That is where we come in. We help you create it.

Prior to starting this business in 2014, I was a professional rugby player for over 10 years. When your job is to be as fit and strong as possible with weekly games to challenge your abilities there is a huge pressure to be at your physical and mental prime. This experience has shaped me as a trainer immensely. I am passionate in working with everyday people and athletes to motivate them, manage or prevent injuries, and encourage people to move and function better. My advice is to find a goal, motivation or something you enjoy and base your lifestyle around it.

“Today is the day” my favourite start of a quote. I am all about taking on challenges, ticking boxes and empowering others around me to do the same. Aside from being in business, I’m a mum to 4 little girls and aim to keep things real and practical. I thrive off the outdoors, especially trail running, and get so excited about helping others feel healthier and happier in life. Let me help you.

I hale from Scotland, but have lived in New Zealand since 2014. I believe exercise should be enjoyable and enhance your life, not a chore that you have to do to stay healthy. I personally love walking and going on adventures, whether that be a quick walk after dinner or abseiling and climbing through a canyon. Good food, being active and lots of laughter make for a healthy happy life. I look forward to helping you achieve just that.

Playing outdoors and being active has always been something I have enjoyed, from running around the paddocks when I was young to playing a large number of different sports in High School. Enjoying the ability to move freely is something I am very grateful for coupled with my passion to help people I found myself heading to Otago for study. I have a passion in working with high performance athletes and also non-athletes looking to function better through fitness.

I have grown up playing sport and keeping active. I believe wellness is a lifestyle and not a quick fix, as such includes moving, nutrition, wellbeing and finding balance within our busy lifestyles. Juggling a family of 4 kiddies, I understand the challenges faced daily to create good habits and routines that allow us to live our best lives whilst maintaining overall wellbeing. I look forward to working with people from all walks of life to help you achieve your balance- in whatever way that may be.
