About

I am a qualified yoga instructor, personal trainer, and masseuse, and am glad to offer these skills to guests as supplements to my stewardessing duties. I have offered these services to private high-end clients for the past 2 years. My specialty is in sports massage, but I am capable in Swedish and deep tissue. I hold a Medical Science Honours degree in Biokinetics. This qualifies me as a healthcare professional specializing in exercise therapy to improve physical function, manage chronic conditions, and enhance overall well-being. I possess in-depth knowledge of human anatomy (having obtained a Bachelor of Science on the subject), physiology, and biomechanics. This allows me to assess movement patterns and design individualized exercise programs. My skills include injury prevention and rehabilitation, chronic disease management (such as diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis), and performance enhancement. I am, of course, also able to offer yoga in in vinyasa, hatha, and yin styles. I am well-versed in table setting and trained in silver service. I am well-travelled and able to interact with and serve guests of many different cultures—part of the benefits of my family’s background in international diplomacy. While I am new to the yachting industry, I have some experience in service, retail, housekeeping, and promotions. I have also completed a comprehensive course in stewardessing offered by industry experts, which has provided me with a variety of skills in both service and housekeeping. I am confident in my ability to rapidly pick up new skills (including those in beauty/spa), but I balance that confidence with a humility that allows me to take direction and constructive criticism well. I love to meet new people and function as part of a well-oiled team. I have eight housemates, an experience which has taught me valuable interpersonal skills, especially conflict resolution. I am paid by the household to perform housekeeping duties (cleaning, laundry), but have also acted as leader for my housemates in cleaning efforts before events (we love to throw parties!). I am in charge of décor for these events and love to create welcoming and aesthetically attractive atmospheres. I believe all of these skills to be transferable to a superyacht environment, where I will live and work in close quarters with a team.
