Welcome
Welcome to Familiar Coaching. My love for running has always been about adventure and the places it can take me. At Familiar Coaching, I aim to guide athletes on their own adventures as they work towards their goals and explore the world around them.
Running is my biggest passion in life. But that doesn’t mean I’ve always loved telling everyone about it…
In fact, it took me until almost my 30s to speak confidently about my own running and my own goals. My relationship with running has always been deeply personal to me. Seeing the large running groups and fitness celebrities on social media would leave me feeling overwhelmed, left out, and unsure of how I fit in. It made me want to keep my running a secret. I finally developed the confidence to share my passion with my friends around me. But I remember the feeling of being shy and lost when discovering and contemplating new goals.
I have created Familiar Coaching so every athlete at every level can have the space to develop their own journey. Away from social media, group photos, and matching T-shirts. Familiar is about you enjoying your own journey, and being as private or public about it as you want. Think of Familiar Coaching much like a witch’s familiar. A sidekick to show you the way. Not a large brand name that’s gonna take center stage.
However, if group photos and matching T-shirts are your thing…I have those things too!
