Meet Lee – Mental Wellbeing Practitioner & Pilates Instructor
My Approach
I believe mental wellbeing is influenced by more than our thoughts and emotions. Our bodies, relationships, experiences and everyday circumstances all play a part. My approach brings together mental wellbeing coaching, nervous system support and movement to help you better understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges and feel stronger, calmer and more connected.
An introduction
Founder of Nurture & Move | Mental Wellbeing Practitioner & Pilates Instructor
Hi, I’m Lee, founder of Nurture & Move. My work has evolved over time, but the heart of it has stayed the same. I’m passionate about helping women feel more supported in themselves, particularly when life feels overwhelming, demanding or they no longer feel quite like themselves.
As a mental wellbeing practitioner, my work draws on somatic trauma-informed coaching, nervous system education, positive psychology and an understanding of the protective patterns we develop through life. I believe that understanding our thoughts, emotions and body responses can help us navigate challenges with greater awareness and choice.
Alongside my coaching, I teach Pilates and strength-based movement, helping people build strength, mobility, confidence and a positive connection with their bodies.
I’m also a partner with The Mental Wellbeing Company, delivering practical workshops for parents, workplaces and community groups.
A little more about me
Beyond my professional work, I’m a mum to two adult daughters and a grandmother. I love Pilates, the ocean, early mornings, reading a good thriller and dark chocolate.
Like many women, I’ve experienced periods of stress, change, difficult relationships and times when life felt heavier than it looked from the outside. These experiences sparked my interest in understanding why we respond the way we do, the patterns we develop and how we can better support ourselves.
They’ve also shaped the way I work with others. I believe that meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves, recognising what we need and developing greater confidence in how we respond to life’s challenges.
Wellbeing is shaped by more than what we think or do. Our nervous system, body, relationships, experiences and environment all play a part.
My aim is to offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, make sense of your experiences and discover practical ways to support your mental wellbeing.
We don't always know what someone is carrying, what they've experienced or what it takes for them to get through each day. That's why I believe curiosity, compassion and understanding matter so much.
