Meet your Coach
Louisa is a keen runner with over 25 years of experience on road and trail, including triathlons. She has completed over 40 events ranging from 5/10km trail races to 50km ultramarathons. She is also a busy mum of two young kids.
In 2021, Louisa moved to South Wales after spending 13 years in Australia where her love for running trails really flourished. She had run a successful dog walking and pet sitting business whilst also working in the Fitness Industry.
Soon after settling into Welsh life, Louisa’s black lab, Macsen, joined the family and their Canicrossing journey began. Louisa was inspired to become a DogFit Certified Trainer after seeing the benefits Canicrossing brought to her relationship with her own dog (and his teenage behaviour!) and just knowing that running in the countryside together makes them both so happy!
Louisa is a qualified Leader in Running Fitness through Welsh Athletics with 10 years’ experience in the fitness industry. She is currently pursuing her Level 4 Nutrition and her Level 5 Life Coaching qualifications. Louisa also holds a First Aid, DBS and Safeguarding qualifications.
Louisa loves meeting new people and helping others achieve their goals. There are plenty of beautiful places for Canicrossing and Cani-trekking near Pentyrch and around Cardiff. Classes and 1:1 sessions are available for both beginners and those looking improve their running goals.
