🙌🏻🥳 this is a BIG personal strength achievement for me…

Today I managed to comfortably ‘sn**ch’ a 20kg kettlebell, on repeat!

This time last year, I could just about sn**ch a 16kg three times and I’m now happily sn**ching it for 100 reps (untimed).

I’m 52 years old and 20kg is more than a third of my body weight being propelled above my head, under control and with confidence 🤍

This wasn’t an easy journey and I haven’t always felt strong. It’s taken years of practice and commitment; and I’ve had my fair share of personal / health challenges.

I’m sharing this because I have found a way to move, be in and strength train my body that works with my nervous system and considers my whole somatic self.

Right now, my heart is smiling, my thoughts are clear and my body feels calm and safe.

I am a trauma-informed somatic teacher and strength coach; I work with folk who are looking for a whole-body approach to support them through trauma, life’s challenges and / or want to feel more empowered and connected to their whole self.

Much love to you all,
Lou xx

Believe me, this superwoman made her 40kg kettlebell deadlifts look easy 🤍💪🏻🤍

🖤 How I support people to lift heavy and with confidence:

🌟Creating a welcoming and as-safe-as-possible space
🌟Understanding technique and skill before weight and volume
🌟Laughter
🌟Being aware of our holistic, whole-body somatic needs as they present at that time
🌟Using breath to find ease AND tension
🌟Not rushing
🌟Blending mobility and bodyweight strength to better understand how our body moves and holds itself
🌟Listening

I am a trauma-informed somatic teacher and strength coach; I support people who are looking for a whole-body approach to support them through trauma and life’s challenges.

We combine intuitive, yoga and functional movement, somatic breathwork, heavy weight training, mindfulness, psycho-education, creativity, focussed listening, guided relaxation and meditation, time to talk…

I work with children, young people and adults from all walks of life and with different experiences. I LOVE what I do and I am so grateful for that 🙏🏻

Much love,
Lou xx

I 🖤 the Jefferson Curl because for me, it helps me move from ‘doing’ to ‘being’ when training with a nervous system-friendly approach 🖤

Yes…it improves spinal mobility, hamstring flexibility, back body strength and builds resilience to injury - when performed with proper form and progressive loading.

But because the emphasis is on slow, controlled movement with technique and range of motion being more important than weight, there is genuine opportunity to pause, breathe and focus your attention on what you feel and notice in the body.

Much love,
Lou xx

It takes time, commitment, practice and skill to lift really heavy weights and I can confidently say that ALL my gorgeous students have these in buckets!

I love the community we have built - the laughter, encouragement and determination they all bring to each class or my 1:1s.

The focus has always been:
🖤 Nervous-system friendly and a sense of safety
🖤 Technique and understanding before lifting heavy
🖤 Building confidence and a sense of empowerment
🖤 Developing real strength for healthy longevity

I am so grateful and proud to say that all my classes are currently full BUT I do have a couple of spaces in a new fortnightly class starting Monday 8th June 12:15pm (4 places gone already!! 😳🤩)

Fancy joining us?!

Much love,
Lou xx

🖤 C O N S C I O U S B R E A T H I N G
Before I even consider working with a formal / structured breath practice (for myself or with my clients and students) I like to start with noticing and observing my breath.

How can I decide what breath practice best suits me at that time, if I don’t know what my breath is like or how my whole body is sensing itself in that moment..?

One of the foundational practices I use is “Conscious Breathing” where I say to myself:
“I am breathing in. I am breathing out”

I allow my inhale and exhale to move alongside the words but the focus is on saying the words, rather than analyse my breath, at this stage.

Sometimes I will vary the speed at which I say the words, especially going slower with the ‘breathing out’ words, to encourage the nervous system to soften, and to lower heart rate and blood pressure.

I actually find it a very soothing breath before bedtime too 🖤
