Kayley Norton
Personal Trainer & Management Support/Content
I have loved sports and being active for most of my life - although I haven’t always been fit by any means! Netball and tennis were key throughout high school and my early 20’s. This flowed into a love of running, then a move to Sydney added gym based fitness into the mix. Sydney life exposed me to many different styles of training, classes and methods - not to mention people. This has become invaluable experience to draw on for both planning sessions for clients and my own training. After many years of *a lot* of HIIT style training, I have since found a passion for strength training which more closely aligns with my current goals. I love the physical and mental challenge of pushing my body further than I thought possible, and seeing my clients do things they never thought they could do. I love learning new things and sharing knowledge with people. Along with training inspo, nutrition is another great interest of mine and something I share a lot of on my social media platforms. I like to spend as much time outside as possible, you'll often see me out walking with my wee boy - he loves a buggy ride through the forest! I’m also rather fond of gin, wine and bloody LOVE a good party - although the opportunities have become few and far between since becoming a mum! Come say hi if you see me around - I don’t bite and love meeting new people.

Sharon Naughton
Holistic Health Therapist
Sharon lives and breathes to inspire others to live a life they love and to be the most true version of themselves. She is a Registered Nurse who has over 35 years experience in many different health fields and currently works part time in the mental health space in primary care for Te WhatuOra. She passionately believes in the cornerstone concept of holistic health as depicted in the Te Whare Tapa Wha model of holistic health in the New Zealand context. The concept that we have different aspects of our 'being' or 'health' - mental, physical and social, both connecting with others and spirituality. Through lived experience of her own with mental health challenges, adversity, emotional and physical pain, trauma and grief, she has been a student of holistic health all of her life. Through deep work and daily practice she is now in the space where she connects with others to walk alongside them with compassion. She embodies the very idea of non-judgement and self compassion and practices ‘holding space’ safely. She is an information sharer, a reflector and gentle in all of her approaches. “Trauma – a Greek word for wound” It is not what happens to you, it is what happens inside you as a result. Sharons areas of interest are wide and varied but she is most close to her authentic self when she is alongside people who have experienced grief, anxiety and depression, trauma and addictions. Her qualifications include Postgrad Diploma in Applied Nursing, Health Improvement Practitioner and Holistic Aromatherapist. She has a wide knowledge of physical, mental and spiritual health challenges and has a very creative approach, as well as a natural instinct for how to journey with a person, couples or groups. Mission Statement: 'To use what I have learnt through adversity to help one person each day.'
Cheryl Stericker
Active and Alive Group Fitness Instructor
From a very early age I was interested in ballet, drama, swimming and singing - a bit of a show off really! Through life’s little experiences (knock backs) I then developed humility and self esteem. Later in life, between jobs and travel, I studied at Christchurch Polytechnic and attained a certificate in Fitness Industry Training. This was a 20 week full time, 500 hour course. At every opportunity I continued to study - Exercise Science at Christchurch College of Education and Fitness Leadership with YMCA in Vancouver Canada. Recently I have re-qualified with a current Comprehensive First Aid Certificate, a Community based Exercise Foundation Course by Canterbury Sports and am brushing up on Aquafit Training. All of this helped in creating the well rounded character you see today! I enjoy creating a relaxed and friendly, safe atmosphere in which to exercise. It is important that you enjoy anything if you want to continue doing it! I currently take a Gym Circuit class which is aimed at, but not limited to those of a mature nature. Moderation and consistency are what I recommend for those not so young as we don’t recover as quickly as we used to. This is essential to limit any chance of injury, correct technique and form are key to a great workout.
Rachel Scott
Club Owner & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Practitioner
Rachel is passionate about providing the local community with a variety of opportunities to explore, learn and grow in physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being. Rachel’s experience in the fitness industry started 20 years ago and progressed into a career in Humanistic Psychology and Coaching. She really enjoys helping people prosper in life and forming heartfelt connections within the community. "During my time building the Four Peak Fitness space I was privileged and trusted with so many personal health experiences, both mental and physical, through my community and its members. This valuable life experience led me on a new journey toward strengthening my coaching skills beyond base level exercise and nutrition, and into the world of psychology, neuroscience, epi-genetics, spirituality and many other cognitive science and philosophy based principles. Pretty much anything to do with 'Top Down Control' and Mind Mastery. Rachel is a dedicated mother of two little humans with a background in Personal Training, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and has trained with The Academy of Modern Applied Psychology and The Flow Research Collective in Neuroscience Coaching for Peak Human Performance. “I am extremely passionate about neuroscience, cognition, mental wellness & in understanding how we function as humans on a cognitive and consciousness level. I am obsessed with learning about how we are impacted physically via epi-genetics (control above the genes). I'm always striving for greater depths of insight and understanding of how my brain/mind works and learning the daily practices we can utilise to rewire neural network pathways to achieve greater life satisfaction, simply by altering our beliefs and perceptions. My guidance is grounded in Science AND Spirituality - I can use either discipline to explain the mechanics of the mind and help people develop more of an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviours are experienced and expressed both physically and mentally." Rachel invests her time daily into her own learning and development and understands the importance of being an open, honest and fully present listener when it comes to helping others. “My sole focus is to hold space for my clients to just talk. To listen free of judgement and portray genuine compassion for each individuals personal situation and human experience. The ultimate truth is that no one is perfect and everyone has their own unique experiences and varying degrees of struggle. I am simply the listening ear and guiding hand in finding more peace and clarity in the mind, and toward a better understanding of how to work through life's rough patches by providing suggested principles, tools & techniques. Often big changes can come about from a little shift in perspective which can be extremely empowering.” If you need a little help or guidance get in touch with Rach today at www.theartofmentalalchemy.com or email hello@rachelscott.co.nz
