About Your Program Leader
Hi, I’m Maryse!
I am passionate about helping people recognise the power within to reach their wellness and sporting goals.
Drawing from my 15 years in sports science and healthcare, my own swimming experience as well as guiding hundreds of open water swimmers, I’ve developed holistic training experiences that meet you where you are, and help expand you into the next version of yourself.
Feedback from our RISE Family
When I heard about the RISE programme by chance through a friend, I couldn’t believe my luck. It felt as though it gave real, practical steps directly towards this dream. Maryse, what made the experience even more sweet was that your training wasn’t just a physical set of hurdles, but rather it recognised that a big life goal involves every part of ourselves, and all of those parts need tending in preparation.

Thank you for this amazing group and all of the support through this journey. Exciting about the new programme. I have really found the strength training to be one of the most important parts of my training programme so far – in terms of both injury prevention / protection and also building a strong base so that those arms can keep on keeping on turning even when they don’t want to.

RISE has not been what I expected at all. I thought it would be all about workouts and finding more time for training which is just not very sustainable for life. But it is about so much more… changing little things incrementally throughout the day, and working on improving by small amounts in several areas… makes a huge difference overall!!! It’s a game changer, really looking forward to this last month!!!
