ALEXANDRA HENRIQUES
Personal Trainer
Training Philosophy & Approach:
"Alexandra brings together personal training and more than a decade of healthcare experience. Her approach is upbeat, relationship-driven, and grounded in the belief that effective training must reflect the person's health history, life circumstances, confidence, and goals."
Personal Background & Interests:
Before becoming a personal trainer, Alexandra worked for more than a decade as a Registered Practical Nurse, supporting people through recovery, major life transitions, and behaviour change. That background gives her a natural ability to listen, build trust, and see the whole person rather than only the workout. She has a particular interest in helping women and postpartum clients return to strength in a realistic, sustainable way.
