At the start of January, 2009, a flyer was put through my door about The Cassar Academy. Ten years ago I was a dancer and extremely fit, but had left that behind when I went to drama school to train as an actress. After 6 years in 'the business', although I didn't consider myself unhealthy, I was eager to seize the opportunity of making a new year's resolution to get fit again and to learn something new.

I haven't looked back since and Choi is now somewhat of an obsession for me - in fact, I try to fit my other commitments around classes, rather than vice versa. I love the discipline of the art and how I always have something to be working on and improving, not to mention having the opportunity to push myself further than I thought I could and testing my boundaries.

I am pleased to have been welcomed into the 'Choi family' and have made friends with a similar outlook on life. I just can't rave about Choi enough, although those closest to me would, I'm sure, disagree!!

Lastly, my career is a very frustrating and uncertain one and, in Choi, I have found a healthy and effective way to deal with the stresses and tensions of my everyday life.
