Movement Coaching
At the Active Balance I use a blend of movement styles
“Restorative Exercise is simple, accessible and very effective.” Tanya Gribble
In Restorative Exercise we work with you to …
» identify areas of low strength, limited mobility and weak control » teach you how to isolate muscles and joints you want to work on
» show you movements to mobilise your joints, improve your control and strengthen your muscles
» inspire you with ideas to keep your new found mobilities and strengths alive in your daily life
Specifically Restorative Exercise …
» Is a science based programme designed by biomechanist Katy Bowman M.S.
» Uses objective markers to assess current body alignment » Uses the same objective markers to isolate muscles and joints to be worked on
» Considers and benefits your whole body
» Improves ranges of motion, increases strength and builds new motor programs where necessary
» Is very gentle and accessible to everyone; children, athletes & seniors, those who are pregnant, postpartum or in pain. Nutritious Movement…
» Is the bigger picture.
It’s what Restorative Exercise enable us to achieve and is why Katy Bowman now chooses to operate under this brand.
One to one sessions are the best 🙂
» Available weekday mornings and evenings
» Sessions typically last an hour
» Longer sessions available if you’d prefer…
In Baldock
» Held at my home studio in Baldock or at your workplace
» Available weekday mornings and evenings
» Sessions typically last an hour
» Sessions can be shared with a friend though I recommend 90 minutes for the first session
» Longer sessions available if you’d prefer… I know some of my clients travel quite a distance to get here so sometimes it makes sense to do a longer session, often we take a mini walking break up to the woods to keep our minds fresh 🙂
» £55 for a one hour session or £205 for a block of four one hour sessions at my home studio
» Prices at your workplace depend on your location, send me a message for more details
» I look forward to meeting you soon 🙂
Custom Workshops
ONLINE (zoom)
» Available UK mornings and some evenings
» £55 per hour session
» I’m based in the UK but work with people around the world.
» Having seen huge improvements in my own health through restorative exercise, I specialise in working with those in similar situations; ‘bad backs’, compromised cores & pelvic floors (incl diastasis recti & pelvic organ prolapses)
» If you’d like to book, fill in the form below indicating your preferred date and time so I can confirm a slot and send you a paypal payment link
» If you’re not sure if I can help, drop me a message and I’ll get back to you!
» I look forward to ‘meeting’ you!

Do you want to get your people moving better at work?
Maybe you have had a number of staff with back problems and no matter how ‘ergomomic’ you make their workstation it just isn’t enough any more.
Maybe you have people in your organisation who need to do specific exercises to keep them well or mobilise their bodies during the day, but it’s difficult to cater to all their needs.
Maybe you understand first hand the huge impact a bad back can have on your work and you want to protect your employees (and your business) from that impact.
If this sounds familiar, then your organisation might benefit from our workplace movement programs.
We visit your workplace and run gentle movement programs for staff. The programs particularly benefits those who have had work related physical illnesses, those who are at risk from back problems or RSI and those who have a largely sedentary role.
