My name is Britt and I am the founder of REACHAU. I am a lifelong teacher at heart with a mission to transform self-doubt into quiet capability. I believe real learning is the turning raw skills and life’s hardships into the extraordinary power of confidence and capability.

A Global Foundation of Community and Resilience

My story began in Toronto, Canada, but my roots are a rich tapestry of Jamaican and Australian heritage. As a child, I traveled across Canada unrestrained, in the back seat of a car to start a life in Surrey, BC, but our home was always a bridge to other worlds.

I grew up with the privilege of visiting family in Jamaica a few times, and learning about their culture and history, waking up on Christmas morning to "By the Rivers of Babylon" and the sound of my dad (my stepdad, who was the steady presence in my life) whisking up the eggnog.

Our door was always open to anyone who had nowhere else to be. We had some dynamic mixtures of people over the years!

These early experiences of inclusivity and community are what drive me to support people today.

Forged by Hard Work and Real-World Grit

I carry the truth that true skills are forged in perseverance, often far from a classroom.

At 14, I was doing work experience at Bernie Travers Riding Stable in Dunsborough, caring for horses and leading trail rides. Shortly after, a move to another horse property taught me a lesson in humility and readiness: I showed up without the "rubber gloves" on my packing list, thinking they were for dishes, only to find they were for the gritty work of picking up manure by hand.

These moments built the resilient, dynamic person I am today.

Whether I was running my own cafe in Lancelin, operating a fitness business from local parks, or managing a leased training location, I have always put people first and have a passion for helping people see their own value.

Academic Wisdom and Professional Mastery

I back this real-world grit with deep academic knowledge to ensure you receive training that is both practical and scientifically grounded:

Bachelor of Health Science - Nutrition

Diploma of Mental Health

Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE)

Certificate IV in Fitness and various health-related certifications

This unique combination of health science, fitness, and mental health expertise allows me to integrate deep, trauma-informed strategies into every session I deliver.

The REACHAU Difference

I specialize in taking training out of sterile classrooms and into the environments where skills are actually used. I meet you where you are when possible or hire a local spot - whether it is a mine site, a stable, a childcare centre, or a community hall.

Alongside First Aid, I run career workshops and coaching for those who have been overlooked.

My philosophy is simple: the only failure is giving up. I am here to ensure you have the tools and the self belief and support.

Emergencies don’t wait for the “right time.” Neither do opportunities. Both demand readiness.

I’m not interested in being the biggest provider. I’m committed to being the most impactful trainer and coach who empowers people to walk away with skills that could change (or save) a life.
