Speaker Bio:
Shona Hirons is a fitness enthusiast who has dedicated her life to health and wellness. In her teenage years, she represented her country as a swimmer, but her competitive career came to an end after a knee injury.
Despite pressure from her parents to pursue a traditional definition of success, Shona remained true to her passion for fitness. However, her commitment to health eventually led to burnout. This experience inspired her to prioritize balance and holistic well-being in her own life and to help others do the same.
Today, she is a respected advocate for mental and physical wellness, using her personal journey to inspire and educate others on the importance of self-care and balance.
