Hey gorgeous, I’m Leesh, founder of Active Edge and women’s’ holistic health and fitness coach!
From a young age, I was drawn to the world of sport, movement, and wellness. Over the past 5+ years working in the fitness industry, I’ve come to realise how much women have been let down when it comes to true education around their health, their bodies, and sustainable fitness. That's why I do what I do. I’ve dedicated my life to becoming the voice, guide, and support that I wish I had growing up. But my journey hasn’t been a straight line.
I first started in fitness simply wanting to lose weight. I remember feeling terrified stepping into a gym, and right then and there, I made a decision. I never wanted another woman to feel the way I did. Life threw me a few curveballs after that — burnout, chronic pain, and some of the darkest moments of my life. There was a time where I could barely walk, let alone train, and I struggled deeply with my mental health. But through rebuilding myself, studying nutrition, healing my body and my nervous system, and learning to love movement and nourishment again — I found my true purpose.
Active Edge was born to change the way women see health and fitness. Not as a punishment. Not as a quick fix. But as a way of life that feels joyful, empowering, sustainable — and most importantly, full of self-love.
My mission is to help you feel strong, confident, and proud of the woman you are becoming; both inside and out. When you work with me, you can expect a whole lot of heart, support, kindness, and real talk. I believe in empowerment, connection, balance, and showing up with passion every single day. I’m here to teach you how to move because you love your body, not because you’re trying to fix it. How to fuel your body without guilt. How to lead a healthy lifestyle that feels good for you, not just now, but for life.
Outside of coaching, you’ll usually find me grounding myself with a beach walk, soaking up nature, and appreciating all the little glimmers that make life so beautiful. I’m so ready to help you rediscover your sparkle and build the strong, confident, radiant woman that’s already within you.
Let’s do this together xx
