Hi, my name is Jessica, and I am the founder of U GOT THIS Counselling and Coaching. To share the journey of U GOT THIS, we need to travel back to where it all began in 2012.

The Beginning – U GOT THIS Health & Fitness

In 2012, I became a personal trainer on the Sunshine Coast and launched U GOT THIS Health & Fitness. For six years, I trained hundreds of women, contributed articles to WHY FITNESS magazine, and promoted a healthy mind, healthy body lifestyle.

During this time, I:
✔ Modeled for an activewear business on the Sunshine Coast.
✔ Led warm-up exercise routines for Ironman marathons in Noosa.
✔ Managed a gym in Coolum.
✔ Served as a judge for Mr. Sunshine Coast for two consecutive years.

I ran my business from local parks near primary schools, allowing parents to train right after school drop-off and pick-up. I even partnered with schools to promote exercise and healthy lifestyles for children.

The Message Behind U GOT THIS

It all started at a local Color Run charity event. I wanted to inspire everyone to push through the challenge, so I took a black marker and wrote U GOT THIS! on the back of my shirt.

During the run, people told me they saw my message, and it helped them keep going. 

They high-fived me, repeating the words U GOT THIS!—and in that moment, I knew this was bigger than fitness. 

It was about hope, empowerment, and resilience.

 

Expanding into Counselling & Coaching

From 2015 to 2020, while running a successful fitness business, I felt something was missing. Health wasn’t just physical—it was mental and emotional too. I decided to upskill, earning:
📌 A Diploma of Counselling to better support my clients.
📌 A Bachelor of Counselling and Coaching to deepen my knowledge of human behavior.

As a family and relationship counsellor with a well-known organization, I realized the power of combining mental strength with physical health. This became the foundation of U GOT THIS Counselling and Coaching.
