Let me introduce myself to those who have not met me before.
I’m Karen, last year I decided to retrain and become a massage and holistic therapist as I felt it was the right path for my life, this was a decision I wish I had gone down years ago.
I also trained to become an Aquacise instructor and deliver two sessions a week at our local sports centre, my sessions are called gentle Aquacise because we focus more on the joints, muscles and rehabilitation after injury, illness or operations.
I am very interested in women’s health especially the menopause and the perimenopause having struggled with this myself. Over the next couple of months I am on some courses to offer more targeted massage.
I also power lift for fun 😃 and really enjoy encouraging other women to participate in sport so I have been lucky enough to secure funding through activelincs for a course to support more women through exercise during the menopause.
I love hearing peoples life stories and today I heard one that really made me sit up, the strength and resilience this person has shown is mind blowing, ‘And still I rise’ will make me smile.
As you can see, I’m a larger lady so no need to feel embarrassed about whatever shape or size your body is, I can guarantee it’s amazing . ❤️
