#introduction
My name is Beckie and I'm part of the #twittermigration of #nztwits currently taking place after the change in ownership. I'm big on women's & LGBTQIA+ rights, climate change, health and fitness, and just generally spreading kindness & love in the world.
I've been a personal trainer for over 25 years, online and in person. I'm very much #antidiet and pro #health and hate #pseudoscience and #fitspo influencers.
I also live with an array of #mentalhealth conditions.
