Think working mamas can’t be toned, ripped, and fit? Fitness fanatic and mother Natalie Dau makes you think twice.
Many modern mums get caught up in their busy day-to-day routines and in time, keeping fit becomes less of a priority. Not for fitness trainer and entrepreneurial mamabird Natalie Dau. If she is not found scorching down the track, she’s busy curating fitness experiences with hotel partners and clients – all while raising her eight-year-old daughter Lilliana. A Reebok sponsored brand athlete and health personality, Natalie is on a mission to lead by example and get more people to make fitness a part of their lifestyle – and to inspire fellow mothers to get off the couch.
