You’re juggling work, family, stress and hormones, and starting a fitness routine feels impossible.
Maybe you recognise this: your energy dips around your cycle; you try apps or classes but nothing sticks; you worry about injury when you lift or run; sleep and motivation are inconsistent; you want to feel strong again but don’t have hours to spare.

I combine trauma‑informed coaching, nine years of yoga teaching, lived experience as an OCR athlete and military veteran, and practical cycle‑aware training to help women aged 30–45 rebuild strength, energy and confidence. My online coaching gives you:

Cycle‑aware workouts that match your energy across the month.

Beginner‑friendly strength plans you can do around work, family and life.

Simple nutrition and stress‑management tools that support hormones and energy.

Accountability and habit design so results stick without shame or perfectionism.

If you’re ready to get active in a way that respects your female body and fits your life: book a free 15‑minute coaching chat via my website (link in bio). We’ll map a realistic next step together.

When your days are full of meetings, deadlines, training sessions and real‑life responsibilities, your body holds more tension than you realise.

Recovery isn’t optional; it’s what keeps you performing at a high level.

I offer premium mobile sports massage across Shrewsbury and Church Stretton, designed for active professionals who want to stay mobile, pain‑free and performing well without losing time travelling to a clinic.
I come to you, on your work‑from‑home days, between commitments, or after training, so you can maintain ease, mobility and recovery with zero disruption.

If you want expert soft‑tissue care that supports your training, reduces tension, and keeps you moving well:

If you’re a woman in your 30s or 40s, you’ve probably been carrying more than you realise - work, family, stress, hormones, the mental load, and the pressure to “get back into fitness” without knowing where to start.

Maybe you’re feeling one of these:
• You want to exercise but feel overwhelmed by gyms, classes or apps
• Your energy crashes around your menstrual cycle and you don’t know how to work with it
• You’ve tried workouts, diets or challenges but nothing sticks long‑term
• Stress is high, sleep is patchy, and motivation feels inconsistent
• You miss feeling strong, confident and connected to your body
• You want to prioritise yourself again - but life keeps getting in the way

You’re not alone, and you’re not failing.
You just need support that understands women’s physiology, stress, hormones, and the realities of life at this age.

My online coaching helps women build strength, confidence and consistency through:
• Beginner‑friendly workouts tailored to your energy, cycle and lifestyle
• Menstrual cycle‑aware training so you stop fighting your hormones
• Simple nutrition guidance without restriction or overwhelm
• Stress‑management strategies that actually work in a busy life
• Accountability and structure so you finally stay consistent
• A supportive space where you feel heard, not judged

If you’re ready to feel better in your body, get active again, and build habits that last:

👉 Book your free 15‑minute coaching chat via my website
We’ll talk through your goals, your struggles, and what you need to move forward with confidence.

Your body deserves more than “push harder and hope for the best.”
Women thrive when they train with their menstrual cycle, manage stress well, and build strength in ways that actually support a female physiology - not fight it.

My work blends trauma‑informed sports massage, holistic health coaching for women, and nine years of yoga teaching to help you feel confident, capable and at home in your body again.
I coach women who want to get active, build strength, reduce stress and finally feel in control of their wellbeing - without perfectionism or overwhelm.

For active people and busy professionals, I offer premium mobile sports massage across Shrewsbury and Church Stretton. It’s ideal for injury prevention, recovery, and anyone who wants high‑quality soft‑tissue care on the days they work from home.

If you’re ready to feel better in your body:

🌟 New Pricing 🌟

In honour of International Womens Day, I have decreased my pricing to make coaching more accessible to women looking for specialised female health coaching.

I offer a full support package that gives you education, support and guidance on workouts, nutrition and mindset. To make it more accessible for women, I offer each of the above services as a standalone - there's always the option to increase or decrease your support depending on your needs at the time.

If you're a woman who is looking to work through a plateau or injury, looking to train with your menstrual cycle, or honour the transition of perimenopause as an active woman, please feel free to reach out and have a chat about what I offer and how I can help.

I'm looking forward to working with you soon!

Hi lovely people 🤍

A little life + business update from me — especially for my active women, runners, lifters, OCR athletes, and anyone juggling training with those annoying niggles.

For over a year I’ve been dealing with a stubborn injury. Between yoga teaching and racing the Spartan series last summer, I didn’t give it the rest it needed. I pushed hard, it paid off (2nd in the National Series + selected for the team again this year)… but the cost was big.

Because I pushed through, I’ve missed my favourite winter thing:
flouncing around the mountains as a fell runner.
A literal pain in the ass has meant no fast running, no hill work, and sitting has been… interesting.

But over the last month, after a run of lurgies, I finally committed to a proper rehab plan:
small, consistent mileage, strength work, activation, and eccentric loading to get the tendon repairing properly this time.

Moral of the story:
If you ignore your injuries for short‑term gratification or long‑term goals… you will pay for it.
And if mountain running feeds your soul like it does mine, you’ll feel it.

For my active females…
If you’re training hard, feeling niggles, or wanting to level up without breaking yourself, my health coaching for active women might be a great fit.

I help women build strength, resilience, and performance while managing or avoiding injuries — especially runners, OCR athletes, lifters, and busy women balancing life + training.

If you want to chat, you can book a free 15‑minute triage call via the link in my bio.

For my Shropshire people…
My mobile sports massage appointments (Shrewsbury + surrounding areas) are open, and new clients get 10% off their first session.
Codes are in my bio — just scroll to the massage section.

Thank you as always for the support 🤍
Josie

After an amazing time away with my sister over Christmas (my first holiday away that hasn't involved racing since 2021!), I am excited to let you know about my new venture! I am a qualified Massage therapist specialising in sports massage, and also offering remedial, maintenance massage.

I have decided to offer a mobile service, so that people can get home from work, or schedule in some time out in their day, and await my arrival!

My swanky new massage bed is lightweight and fits in small spaces, and my knowledge of the body, mind and nervous system all come into the treatment I provide.

Feel free to pop me a message if you have any questions about availability and service area. I have a booking system I've set up on my website so its easy for you to see my availability. I can be flexible if those times don't suit you, so let me know if you'd like to schedule a massage in!

My last client, a week after their massage, said something along the lines of "after you did my calves, I completely forgot they had been troubling me!" Nice feedback to boost my confidence!

I offer 90 minute in-depth consultations to look at weaknesses, tightness and muscle imbalance. I also offer 60 and 45 minute sessions for maintenance. If you work at a desk, a quick 45 minute upper body massage can help with the aches and pains that come from sitting in the same position for a while! And I can even pop over in your lunch break.

Head over to the links in my bio to have a look at what I offer.

Thanks!

Josie
