Meet our team.

Meet Ciarna

Ciarna

Head Coach · Certified Personal Trainer and Sports Nutritionist

Hi, I'm Ciarna, the head coach at DJM. I have been an athlete for seven to eight years now, with experience in powerlifting, bodybuilding, strength training, boxing and running. I absolutely love feeling strong, healthy and confident within myself, and that all starts with how I treat myself. I love eating a healthy, balanced diet, sunrise walks, and a good book in bed.

Why DJM?

I was drawn to the DJM community because of its anti diet culture and its devotion to breaking the mould of typical wellness companies. Focusing on health, doing what works for you, and feeling your best.

Experience

Certified Personal Trainer and Sports Nutritionist, with over three years of experience coaching hundreds of women.

Meet Sami

Sami

I'm Sami, a registered counsellor specialising in body image and eating issues, helping women let go of unrealistic expectations and live more confident, content lives. With a background as a personal trainer from 2015 to 2021, I bring a balanced, evidence based approach grounded in real world experience, including my own journey with food and body image.

Why DJM?

I love helping our community navigate self care in busy, stressful lives, and guiding people through their journey from a place of love, not self punishment.

Meet Rani

Rani

Breathwork Facilitator and Fitness Coach

I'm Rani, a breathwork facilitator and fitness coach. My work blends breathwork, nervous system regulation, and fitness and health practices to help people release stress, process stuck emotion, and reconnect with themselves.

Why DJM?

Holding space for people is what I love most about this work. Knowing someone walked in tense and walked out lighter, more present, and more connected to themselves, that is what makes it meaningful. Having come through my own hard chapters, I know what it means to finally feel safe enough to let go, and being part of a community built on that same non judgement is exactly where I want to be.

Experience

I lead the breathwork sessions as part of the Lifestyle Reset Project, guiding participants through guided breath practices to help regulate the nervous system, manage stress, and unlock suppressed emotion. Cert III and IV in Fitness · Master NLP Practitioner · Breathwork Facilitator.

Meet Ally

Ally

Women's Health Dietitian, Kynd Nutrition

Hi, I'm Ally, a registered women's health dietitian specialising in fertility and reproductive health, pregnancy and postpartum, and perimenopause and menopause. I'm a firm believer in intuitive eating, helping women rediscover their love for food rather than follow restrictive diets.

Why DJM?

Our shared philosophy of balance over restriction, and building sustainable habits within a community that supports women rather than judges them.

Meet Jess

Jess

Pilates Instructor

I'm a passionate Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor who loves helping people feel stronger, more confident, and more connected to their bodies.

Outside the studio, I'm passionate about health, wellness and living an active lifestyle.

Why DJM?

As a Pilates instructor at DJM, I teach Mat and Reformer Pilates classes designed to strengthen, challenge and inspire.

Meet Danielle

Danielle

Founder and CEO

I'm Danielle, the founder and CEO of DJM. I built this business around one belief: health should never come at the cost of how you feel about yourself. No restriction, no punishment, just real, sustainable habits and a community that has your back.

Why DJM?

I started back in 2017 with a focus on changing the way women's bodies look. I later stepped away from the industry, and when I came back postpartum, my goal had completely shifted. I wanted to help change the way women's bodies feel, not just how they look. I couldn't find anywhere that put feeling first, so I built the space I couldn't find.

Experience

Cert III and IV in Personal Training · Pre and Postnatal Training · AISSN Accredited Sports Nutritionist.

Meet Becky

Becky

Operations Manager

I'm Becky, the Ops Manager at DJM. I keep the whole operation running behind the scenes, handling the day to day so Danielle and the coaches can stay focused on the community. If something needs sorting, chasing, or generally making happen, that's me.

Why DJM?

I came to DJM from my own background with disordered eating, and I wanted to be part of something that could actually make a difference in women's lives. DJM is everything I wish I'd had when I was in the middle of my own struggle: real support instead of shame, and space to find what works for you instead of chasing an ideal that was never sustainable in the first place.

Experience

Cert III in Business, though if we're being honest, my real qualification is being a certified personality hire.
