MEET BEV
I'm a certified health coach, 35 years a physiotherapist, lifelong learner with a masters degree in rehabilitation, passion for all sports and now bringing them all together to empower women to get moving and get back in the game.
In 2019, I was standing in a karate dojo wondering how on earth I'd gone from strong and capable to exhausted, sore and struggling to keep up.
I was due to take 3rd dan, but quitting seemed a far better option. The pain, deep rooted tiredness and creeping lack of confidence made me think there must be something seriously wrong because if this was just 'getting old' then I wasn't impressed!
Within months, COVID had hit, training stopped, life paused!. In that unexpected space and after a lot of researching, blood tests that were frustratingly 'normal', I realised I wasn't falling apart, it wasn't a sign I was past my best. Menopause! nothing sinister, not failure, just a stage of life that no one had prepared me for. This was revolutionary to my mindset and now I'm back in training and ready to support and empower others, because you don't have to give up the things that you love. When things like menopause, injury or just life changes start to change the rules it doesn't mean the game is over.
WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT
I am here to listen, understand, help, support and empower you to move on to the next chapter whatever that may be, from getting back in the game or just getting those extra steps in.
Why should we bother?
Like it or not we are all getting older one day at a time! And our bodies are changing right along with us which can make us prone to health issues. Unfortunately, menopause and some lifestyle habits can affect the process.
We can lose muscle mass and bone density leading to loss of strength and balance which could increase the risk of frailty, fractures and falls, the process of which can actually start in our 30s. You are not too young to start preparing and never too old to start doing something about it.
Physical activity can also improve sleep, maintain a healthy weight, help manage stress and improve quality of life as well as decreasing the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, joint and back pain and some cancers (gov.uk). It can also help to improve mood and brain function, energy levels and connections to others and nature. It basically helps you to ‘live well’.
NHS and government guidelines suggest 150 mins of moderate intensity activity a week with at least 2 sessions of strength training – are you doing enough?
If you want to increase your activity levels, ‘live well’ and see how that can fit into your lifestyle then give me a call.
