My name is Dominique, I’ve always been very passionate about the fitness and health industry, at the age of 15 I decided that enough was enough and I had to start somewhere somehow to get my fitness and health levels up, as a young child and in high school I was often bullied for being a little bigger and chubbier than other girls, as afrikaans people we use “big boned” as an excuse but there was absolutely no excuse I was just really lazy. I started running and HIIT training and lost all the excess, I became very skinny and almost obsessed with being thin I would eat alot or often. I then started weight training in a gym and completely fell inlove, started understanding why eating and fueling ur body is important, the how and the whens. Recently I started competing as this has been my goal and dream for the longest time to be able to master that type of mental focus and discipline is truly an honor, I take my hat off and have so much respect for all types of bodies as I know all the phases and struggles and it’s become my passion to help people especially ladies who doubt themselves. I currently work as a PA/Admin for a dentist I really enjoy what do I love seeing people happy and confident smiling is a big part of who you are as a person, I’ve also decided to start studying dental treatments recently to assist people in their confidence and overall oral hygiene (still in the beginning phase but we’ll see how everything goes with work and studies and health balance). I don’t have children just yet but hope to have children soon, I’ve only recently met someone, I’m madly inlove so definitely still the honeymoon phase of the relationship which I am definitely not complaining about. I’d absolutely love to become an ambassador for your brand, to help all types of people, women and men in all stages of fitness and health journeys. Show and motivate them that it is possible you have to believe in youself, show up and trust the process of becoming a better versions of yourself every single day
