Move Well Coach

Online Movement coaching
Bespoke nutrition using Blood Analysis

This page is a work in progress. Please see Instagram for more

I've studied movement for 6 years and love the freedom and physical dominance it has given me. Since starting the Move Well Coach in 2022, I have really enjoyed coaching and helping dozens of people get in shape and train pain free. Additionally, after studying under The Institute of Health I am proud to also offer nutrition and supplement plans based on in depth blood analysis. My goal is to help hundreds of people optimise their health and movement capabilities!

Unfortunately I have lost all of the videos of me from when I began my movement journey.

It’s a real shame as it would make for awesome content, I’d still be dining out on my transformation now 😄 but all good, I came to terms with it a long time ago.

I was 25-26 years old when my friend introduced me to movement.

I had no experience with gymnastics, capoeira, martial arts, mobility or anything of that nature.

I’d been training weights for years, although had just started dabbling with more “bodyweight exercise” like pushups and pull-ups etc, realising that it would be less toll on my already ageing body.

However, I couldn’t touch my toes, couldn’t run for more than 10 minutes due to bad knees, and certainly couldn’t see how I would be doing movements like the Macaco or handstands.

Luckily there was a lot of cool free content on YouTube for me to follow.

I began working through these simple (but not easy!) movement patterns in my living room.

Day after day, sometimes 20 minutes, other times longer.

I started feeling more freedom in my body. That gave me more confidence in my body.

Then I invested in my first online training program.

That’s when results sky rocketed.

In 12 weeks I:

- Got my first ever freestanding handstand
- Dramatically improved mobility with middle splits and bridge
- Learnt complex floor patterns

12-18 months after than I unlocked my first handstand pushups and Macaco.

The final outcomes look complex, because they are.

But it all started with SIMPLE steps.

I don’t have videos to look back on, but it’s cool to think about that progress.

What once was impossible became reality.

And anyway, watching my client transformations is way more satisfying than my own.

What a journey! 🚀

I definitely do not think that “My way is the best way” for people.

However, I do think that my way is the best for SOME people. 😄

Because one thing I’ve learnt over the past 4.5 years of coaching is that some people have been chasing metrics that don’t serve them.

They no longer care about what weight they’re pushing.

They’re happy enough with their general health.

So something is missing.

They don’t feel as strong and capable as they’d like. And they are training largely the same way as they have for years.

Fatigue is easy to measure. But what about measuring whether you’re actually getting better?

By measuring movement quality. By increasing movement complexity. By pushing the body to its limits, and even finding new limits.

Can you get down to the floor and back up without your hands?

Can you hold a position this month you couldn’t touch last month?

Does a movement that felt clunky in week 1 now feel light and fluid?

Are you able to do that martial arts class, ski trip or long distance hike with ease now when before you were avoiding them?

Not every session needs to leave you wrecked. It can challenge you whilst leaving the body feeling replenished as well.

That’s the kind of progress that keeps people interested for years, not weeks. And that’s how you develop a real practice, not just a program.

What would you want to be able to do 6 months from now?

Drop me a DM, I’d love to hear it and I read every one!

Laura’s chiropractor told her she’d never do handstands.

She does them every week now.

Before, she followed a regular gym routine, even though she didn’t enjoy it much.

Her shoulder press was 2x 10kg dumbbells.

Then she spent a few months learning handstands. No extra weights, no new gym programme.

The other day she picked up two 14s just to see.

“Okay, this is different.”

A handstand puts your whole bodyweight through your shoulders, at angles a dumbbell never asks for. Balance, stability and strength, all at once. So the strength she built upside down turned up everywhere else.

That’s the bit people don’t expect. They worry that moving away from weights means getting weaker. Usually it’s the opposite.

And she’d tell you the result wasn’t the big moment. It was the small bits every week, adding up.

If training feels like a chore or something you “should do” rather than want to do, you may be working on metrics that don’t actually serve you.

For me training should feel complimentary to a productive lifestyle. Working towards goals that excite you, that help you feel strong and capable.

A versatile movement practice that connects the whole body and explores its capabilities will serve you in all areas of your life and business.

So if you’re not feeling as strong, capable or healthy as you’d like to…are the metrics you are using to measure your fitness actually serving you?

You can’t foam roll or stretch your way to moving well.

In fact, stretching is largely bullsh*t but I’ll save that for another post. 😁

If you want to feel strong, mobile and capable in your 40s, 50s and 60s, you need a practice that asks your body for more than one thing. Floor work, hanging, rotation, elasticity, strength through full range.

That most likely means choosing different movement habits to what you’re used to.

It doesn’t mean stopping weights. In fact, more than 50% of my client programmes still have a lot of weights in them.

But if you’re getting repeated injuries like plantar fasciitis, low back pain, knee issues…then something has to change.

Going to the physio once a month, tagging a 10 minute stretch on the end of a session or rubbing a bit of Voltarol on it is not going to solve the problem.

And foam rollers are massively overrated. 😄 I’ll admit I do still get clients to use a hockey ball once in a while, to get the tissue prepped for a session.

None of it sticks because the site of pain is rarely the source of it.

Your foot hurts because of how your hip, knee and ankle are absorbing force and loading it. Your back hurts because something else in the system perceived a threat.

Rolling and stretching the sore bit treats the symptom rather than the underlying issue, so it comes back.

The fix is teaching the whole system to move differently.

That’s where I can help.

My Rewire Protocol is a 4 week sprint that focuses purely on overcoming injuries and chronic pain.

If your symptoms haven’t improved after 4 weeks, I’ll keep working with you for another 4, free.

DM me to book a consultation.

3 weeks on the move and one thing I haven’t had to worry about is training.

Because I have an adaptable practice that I can change to suit different situations.

In fact, the only thing I actually NEED is 2x2m of floor space.

Now, this isn’t my ideal scenario. Ideally I’d have access to a pull-up bar so I could continue on my pursuit of a one arm chin-up.

But for now, we are in the Vietnamese countryside and chin-up bars are hard to come by. 🤣

So the OAC will be put on hold, in my experience I won’t have lost too much progress on that.

And this is something I explain to clients.

When working on several goals all at once, sometimes it’s necessary to drop one or two.

Often giving something a break seems to let that skill breathe, and it actually comes back better when you pick it up again.

For me a movement practice is location independent.

So if you’re going on a business trip for 3 days, that’s fine. As long as your hotel room has 2x2m you can still move.

At the moment I’m doing 2-3 sessions per day but they are only 10-20 minutes long.

For me the key with these short sessions is variety, so I make sure to include calisthenics and single leg work for strength, rotations & mobility for the hips and spine, and plenty of ground work to keep the whole body guessing.

The brain thrives on novelty so changing things up like this has a bigger effect than you might think.

If you’re looking at the movements in this video thinking “Yeh right, I could never do that” then I get it.

Because I was there once. I used to watch people in the movement space and think “I could never do that”. The only difference between then and now is that I started. And most of the people I coach started with no experience at all.

If you’re someone who feels stuck in a rut with your routine, perhaps your body is just craving a new challenge.

I’d love to show you how that might look, dm me to chat.

If you aren’t growing you’re shrinking.

Funny how physical “growth” as an adult might actually involve going back to the very first movement pattern you learnt…crawling.

Send this to someone who struggles to get up and down. I may be able to help 🙏🏻
