Hi. I'm Tash and I’m one of the coaches at Valesco that got into coaching fairly recently. My journey started on the other side of the class; sweating it out as a member and slowly realising how much I loved learning, improving, and being part of this community. By day, I’m tucked away in an office, so coaching is the perfect contrast: loud, energetic, and full of movement (basically the opposite of emails!).

I’ve always been active, playing sport at a high level in my younger years through school and university, and I’ve never lost that curiosity to see what my body can do. Stepping into coaching felt like the natural next step, developing a new skill in a hobby I genuinely love.

What really keeps me here, though, is the people. I love sharing what I’ve learned, helping members progress, and watching them surprise themselves. Plus, being part of this inclusive community is just incredible. 

If you see me coaching, expect encouragement, a bit of quirkiness, and someone who’s just as excited about your progress as you are.
