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 passionate about fitness, women's wellness, pregnancies, and birth, as well as all things celestial and crystals. I'm always on hand with a supportive word, a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, or a loud cheer 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'll usually recognize me from my ever-changing rainbow hair! I navigate autoimmune and bowel conditions myself, so I completely understand listening to your body when energy is low or adapting when needed.
Having walked through two pregnancy losses in 2023 and 2024, I hold an open, tender space for anyone navigating fertility anxieties or pregnancy after loss. In my classes, there is never any talk of diets, sizes, or "bouncing back" — we celebrate the joy of movement, strength, and community.
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!
