Founder, Fitness Coach & Maternal Specialist
Hi, I'm Lara! I'm 35, wife to Dan (our tech whizz), and mum to our beautiful daughter Luna. I'm a lover of fitness and women's wellness, babies, pregnancies and bith as well as all things celestial, crystals and mystical. I'm always on hand with a supportive word, a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on or a woo at your achievements! Whatever you need, I'm your girl!
I trained to be a fitness instructor when I was 18 and have been helping people on their health journeys ever since! I initially trained in group fitness, quickly going on to qualify in various Les Mills programmes (6 to be exact) where I was selected as a Tribe Coach to support new instructors.
Over the years I also qualified in indoor cycling, Zumba, INSANITY, and aqua aerobics. I completed my Personal Training qualification shortly after and have coached clients 1-to-1 for well over 10 years. I love connecting on a personal level while helping you achieve tangible, empowering results!
Despite working in fitness for so long, I didn't specialize in pre and postnatal fitness until having Luna in 2020. Experiencing pregnancy and an emergency Caesarean recovery gave me first-hand insight into what women truly feel and need during this transformative time.
I trained throughout my pregnancy right up until 36 weeks and coached my last PT client 4 days before my due date! Keeping my fitness up supported a healthy pregnancy and smoother recovery. I am fully certified to program safely for every trimester and fourth-trimester recovery with the latest medical guidance.
I qualified as a baby massage instructor to help parents and infants bond deeply through soothing touch, songs, and eye contact. Seeing how massage eases infant colic, promotes deeper sleep, and provides a calm, safe sanctuary for mothers postpartum inspired me to bring this to Leicestershire.
In 2022, I completed certified Doula training with Every Birth Matters alongside hypnobirthing skills. I believe deeply in giving women continuous, non-judgmental guidance and practical hands-on care as they transition into life with a newborn.
You will normally recognise me from the rainbow hair which I've had for about 10 years now. It changes often though, so I'm never one colour for a long time! If you have little ones, I apologise for the questions of how to get those colours that often ensue too!.
I have a couple of autoimmune conditions under my belt as well as a bowel condition. So if you are attending with some of these too, I feel you and understand. I'll always make sure you are checking in with your body too, after all you know it best! We have also lost two pregnancies in 2023 and 2024, so if you are joining my motherhood journey classes and are having some anxiety after loss or during a fertility journey, I can fully empathise and will always have a listening ear.
Whether you are curious about starting 1:1 training, joining our classes with your little one, or simply want to say hello — I would love to hear from you!
