I was born on 12 December 1976, in Truro, Cornwall, England, UK. I had chronic athsma, so I didn't participate in any strenuous physical activities to speak of, though I would have liked to. At 14 years of age, I came across a BB Magazine belonging to a college student who was staying with my family, and I was completely inspired by the way the women looked.

Woman To Get Her Pro Card
It took 3 months until I had built up enough courage to finally go to the gym... and I'll always remember what I said, at 107 lbs., straight up and down in shape... I said to the gym owner's wife, "I want to build muscle", to a reply of, "now you leave that to the men, dear". But her husband game me a 3 split routine a week and for 2 years I did that routine and gained 91 pounds, while eating only 3 meals a day and no supplements.
By 17 I had a burning desire so strong to be a bodybuilder and I knew what I was to do with my life. It's hard to explain, I now see it as something I was meant to do and be, a bodybuilder first and then I wanted to compete. By 17 I began training and a bodybuilding lifestyle and my motivation came from within.
Joanna's Contest History
I first competed in England at age 20, got my pro card at the British Championships at 21, and took 2 years to prepare for a pro show in the USA. My pro debut was at the 2001 Jan Tana, which I won, qualifying me for the Ms. Olympia and achieving the dream of getting up on the Ms.O stage. After taking some time off and focusing on things other than bodybuilding, I came back to compete in the Jan Tana again in '03, but didn't prepare quite long enough to achieve the condition I was after. You'll see me onstage again soon enough... so stay tuned!
