Hi, I’m Lishan Du

After giving birth to twins, I felt my body had become quite weak from the fatigue and demands of caring for two young children. I also had knee pain and poor posture, with my shoulders rounding forward.

I have been training online with Lishan for the past six months, mostly on a weekly basis. Since then, I’ve felt noticeably stronger — I can get through a full day with the kids without my knees complaining, and I’m much more aware of my posture and how I use my body. I’ve even noticed fewer episodes of hives since exercising regularly, which has been a welcome surprise.

What I really appreciate about Lishan is how well she understands my needs. Being around the same age and a mom herself, she gives practical advice on nutrition and lifestyle habits that actually fit my life. She focuses not only on the workout, but on overall health and wellbeing.

After giving birth to my son, my weight started creeping up because I had no time to exercise. A medical checkup was my wake-up call to seek professional help. I didn’t think I could do it alone — I had tried numerous times on my own with diets and endless cardio, which gave me short-term results that always bounced back.

When I first met Lishan, I immediately felt I could trust her. She took the time to understand my whole life — my lifestyle, daily habits, diet, and exercise preferences. She puts a lot of thought into my program and adapts it to my energy level and condition each day, while challenging me to push to the next level when I’m ready. Her sessions are always fun and informative.

Over the past five months of in-person training, I’ve lost almost 10kg of fat with zero muscle loss — by eating more food of the right kind and following the right exercise program. I feel more energetic than I have in a long time.

I’ve always loved sports and being active, but for most of my life, injuries have been a frustrating part of it. I’d get injured, have to stop the sports I loved while I recovered, then eventually get back into it — only for the cycle to happen again.

As I got older, the injuries became more serious. I’ve had minor slipped discs in my lower back and neck, wear and tear in both knees, and a previous shoulder dislocation, among other injuries. By my 30s, my main fitness goal was no longer about getting fitter or stronger. I just wanted to be able to keep playing the sports I love without constantly getting injured.

I’ve trained with in-person trainers, as well as a couple of online trainers. But I didn’t see much improvement — if anything, I ended up picking up even more injuries. I realized I needed someone who could look beyond the exercise itself and understand why my body kept breaking down.

That changed when I started training online with Lishan. She introduced me to things I had never really paid attention to before, like foam rolling and fascia release. I still remember how painful the first session was — I was seriously wondering what on earth she was making me do! But fast forward to today, and I actually love foam rolling.

What I really appreciate about Lishan is that she doesn’t just focus on where things hurt. She takes the time to understand the root cause and works on the body as a whole. She taught me how to release muscle tension, improve my mobility and flexibility, and gradually build a stronger core and more stable joints.

I’m 39 now, and I’ve been playing tennis and squash pain-free for the past two years. That may sound simple, but for me, it’s a huge deal. I never wanted my injuries to force me to give up the sports I love — and now I don’t have to. Lishan has helped me feel much stronger, more stable, and more resilient.

I’m genuinely grateful I found her.
