Hi, I’m Katie—a mum of two young daughters and a proud member of the Mount Albert community.

Movement has always been a big part of my life. Through many years in high-performance football, I experienced how physical activity can build far more than fitness. It can strengthen confidence, develop resilience and create genuine connections between people.

My background in coaching and teaching has also shown me that everyone responds differently. Good coaching isn’t about expecting everyone to move at the same pace—it’s about helping people feel supported, appropriately challenged and proud of what they can achieve.

I started Fernz Coaching to bring these parts of my life together: my love of movement, my experience as a coach and teacher, and my desire to contribute to and strengthen the local community my family and I are part of.

The sessions aren’t about military-style bootcamps or being the fittest person in the group—although, if that’s your goal, go for it and I’ll still be there supporting you! Above all, they’re about showing up, moving your body, challenging yourself at the right level and enjoying the people around you.

Through movement, mindset and community, I want Fernz Coaching to be a place where people feel welcome, become stronger and leave each session feeling better than when they arrived.
