Laetitia Booysen
Running toward strength and self-empowerment
About Me
Age: 38
Laetitia is a long-distance runner, sports scientist, and mental health advocate who has transformed her life through fitness. With a background in ballet, netball, and athletics, her true passion lies in endurance running. She has conquered multiple Two Oceans Ultra Marathons, Comrades Marathons, and competitive races, proving that discipline and resilience can break barriers.
Her fitness journey has been deeply personal—overcoming an eating disorder and mental health challenges, she found strength in training, using it as a tool for healing and self-growth. Now, as a Business Training Manager and published psychology author, she is committed to inspiring others to embrace fitness as a means of both physical and mental empowerment. As the 2025 Biogen Face of Fitness, she hopes to show others that no matter the challenges, strength is built one step at a time.
