YOUR TEAM OF EXPERTS

CATHERINE BURNS

NUTRITIONAL THERAPIST & AVP NUTRITION, WELLNESS & COMMUNITY HEALTH

  • Catherine is a fully qualified Nutritional Therapist (BA Hons, Dip ION, mBNTA) with 16 years clinical experience and a respected leader in her field. She fell for nutrition after working in Uganda aged 18, getting extremely sick and then recovering with the help of a nutritionist when all else seemed lost! After graduating from Durham University in the UK, she then went on to train for four years with the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London. Once in Bermuda she founded the popular Nutrifit program, Natural Nutrition consultancy and the Beat the Couch running program, winning Best of Bermuda awards for Best Healthcare Practitioner and Entrepreneur of the Year. In 2018, she brought her work under the umbrella of The Waterfront and helped establish Waterfront Wellness. She now leads our team, heads up the clinic, provides the know-how behind our Nutrifit line and works with our group of companies to promote wellness on-site and within our community. Catherine has a science-based yet holistic and fun-loving approach to healthy living, working with expertise, authenticity and empathy. She uses proven preventive health care protocols to help her clients reach their goals, often working alongside their doctors to achieve desired results. Originally from the UK, Catherine is now Bermudian and has two daughters aged 13 and 10. She has written a weekly nutrition column for the Royal Gazette since 2005. She is the current President of the Bermuda Nutritional Therapy Association. When she’s not at work, Catherine will be with her daughters, running along the beach, cooking, reading, writing or relaxing on a boat.

GRAHAM FRITH

PERSONAL & GROUP TRAINER
RUNNING SPECIALIST

  • With more than 13 years fitness experience under his belt, Graham joined the Waterfront Wellness team in January 2018. He’s the ultimate in easy-going - the yin to the excitable yang from the rest of the gang! Relaxed in nature, he also has an enviable drive, motivating his clients with his enthusiasm and commitment to their cause. Growing up in Bermuda, Graham was always active in community sports. He went on to study at the University of Tampa, graduating with a Bachelors of Science, majoring in Exercise & Sports Studies. During this time he also acquired his NASM Personal Training Certification. Graham is always building his skill-set, currently working on his Precision Nutrition Certification. This combines his love for food with his passion for creating a healthy and sustainable lifestyle for his clients. Further, having always enjoyed running and following the success of his involvement with the Beat the Couch program, Graham is also now completing the run coach certification with UESCA. Whether you interact with Graham one-on-one or come to his classes, you’ll clearly see he takes pride in his work. When he’s not at the gym, you’ll find him on the golf course, playing softball or just having friendly banter with his clients. Fun facts: he spent 3 years with the Bermuda regiment and recently became a father to his baby girl!

CHRISTINA DOTSON

KICKBOXING + GROUP FITNESS
INSTRUCTOR

  • Christina recently joined the Waterfront Wellness team, bringing with her a fresh injection of new skills and broadening our class schedule to include kickboxing. She also teaches some of our strength and spin classes so you will see her routinely on the schedule! She’s Bermudian and has been working in the Health & Fitness industry since 2006 – so she will be a familiar face to many here in Bermuda. She has previously run her own studio so we’re delighted to have her depth of experience on the team. Her bubbly personality is a huge asset but don’t let that fool you – she’s made of tough stuff. Christina has completed three self-supported ultra-marathons achieving 3rd place in the 2009 Sahara Race Egypt (250km), 14th place in the 2012 Jordan Wadi Rum Ultra (250km) and 13th place in the 2012 Grand to Grand Ultra (175 miles). Outside of the gym, Christina is on the quieter side. You would need to be, after all that running!

  • One of the newest members of our team, Oronde has over 25 years of experience training, mentoring and teaching within various health and fitness environments. Qualified with the American Athletic Association & International Sports Medicine Association, as well as the American Council on Exercise and CanFit Pro, he’s also C.H.E.K accredited and certified to teach Tennis, Marshall Arts and Self Defense. (He’s been busy!) Whether you’re new to training or a recreational athlete looking to take your fitness up a level, Oronde will certainly challenge you to reach your maximum potential. However, he’s compassionate, motivating and understands limitations, disabilities, obesity and other health-related restrictions that often present a barrier to comfort in a fitness environment. So, regardless of your age or health status, he will get you on the right track! Oronde has spent a lot of time living and working in Canada but is now back in his home country. When he’s not training clients, he is often studying or preparing for clients – but when he’s finally off work he loves to sail and practice martial arts. He also teaches Portuguese!

ANDREA SANTUCCI

YOGA INSTRUCTOR

  • Andrea has been a yoga student since the time she first stepped on to the mat in 2007. From that moment on yoga became a way of life, not just an activity. She came to yoga as many do on a casual whim but found herself on a journey of self-exploration and awareness. She was so grateful for the healing and peace that yoga brought into her life (at a time that she needed it the most), that she decided to embark upon a teacher training course and share the benefits with others. In 2010 she qualified in Yoga Teacher Training with a 225hr Certification. She gained practical teaching experience and also received in-depth training on mechanical and physiological workings of the human body, class planning, ethics and yoga philosophy. Since qualifying, she has continued her education with many workshops and courses (such as Yoga for Healing Trauma.) Andrea’s aim is to inspire students through the practice of yoga to connect with their inner peace, whilst attaining their deepest and truest potential in all aspects of their physical, emotional, spiritual and practical life. She brings a compassionate, inclusive and non-judgmental coaching style into her classes, with an intuitive ability to tailor yoga and meditation sessions according to student ability and experience.

In college she discovered barre, yoga and Pilates which reconnected her to dance and fostered a deeper awareness of both mental and physical health. Beth holds degrees in Sociology and Psychology, as well as being NASM certified in Personal and Group training.

JESSICA HOLLIS

MARKETING & CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT

  • Jess has worked here at The Waterfront since 2014, sky-rocketing from Administrative Assistant and then Events Coordinator, to the Manager of our Marketing & Customer Engagement. Holding a BSc in Psychology from the University of Richmond, Jess is insightful and uniquely perceptive. She’s the very definition of “can-do” and works diligently and patiently to make all our social media and marketing happen (she does a lot of other things too - she really is a not-so-secret weapon.) Jess has been with Waterfront Wellness since it’s inception, helping to create the brand, define our market, improve communication and understand our customer. She’s a respected “sounding board” for all the ideas that float around the office! Jess does much of our design-work in-house, as well as managing our relationships with external marketing partners, advising on strategy and driving continued innovation for our engagement standards.

    When she’s not here, Jess is often working on her photography skills or busy being ruthless on the hockey pitch. She has represented Bermuda five times and played division 1 hockey in the US. Jess currently plays in the Bermuda women’s and mixed leagues. Watch out!

MADELINE WOOLF

HOSPITALITY & EVENTS SPECIALIST

  • New to Waterfront Wellness, Madeline brings a wealth of expertise and is the dynamic driving force behind our popular and successful events. Her career has blossomed since her first job working behind the scenes in a kitchen at the age of 16, where she fell in love with the food industry. Madeline’s foundations were built around understanding the fundamentals of food and the importance of creative menu design. With her mind instinctively centred around health and wellness, she’s a natural fit for our team. But food to her is about more than providing fuel for the body; it’s fundamental in bringing people together. Her ability to understand her clients vision enables her to create and host truly memorable events (making her and Grant a fantastic duo!) When she’s not in the office, or zipping around to our exclusive island event venues, Madeline balances her downtime between yoga classes and wine tastings.
