Private Movement Support for Burnout & Body Pain
🌤️ Restore strength, mobility and nervous system resilience through personalised Pilates, yoga, & movement therapy
Modern burnout doesn’t always look like collapse. It often shows up as:
– Persistent neck and shoulder tension
– Low back pain or hip discomfort
– Fatigue that doesn’t shift despite rest
– Shallow breathing, irritability, or poor sleep
– Cognitive fog or lack of motivation
Left unchecked, these patterns become embedded in your posture, breathing, and movement.
Chronic stress reshapes how the body functions — down to your core stability, joint mechanics, and hormonal health.
These private sessions offer a science-led, deeply personalised way to rebuild from the inside out.
🧠 What These Sessions Offer
You’ll work one-on-one with a certified teacher trainer in Pilates, yoga, and somatic therapy.
Each session supports:
✔ Decompression of chronic tension patterns
✔ Functional strength and mobility restoration
✔ Improved breath mechanics and vagal tone
✔ Nervous system regulation through movement
✔ Greater postural support and body awareness
This is not HIIT, cardio, or group class-style “sweating it out.”
Evidence shows high-intensity training can spike cortisol in people already under physiological stress — especially those with fatigue, pain, or hormonal dysregulation.
Instead, we use low-load, breath-led, resistance-based movement to support strength without stress.
⚖️ Gendered Patterns of Burnout & Pain
While burnout and chronic tension affect all bodies, symptoms often show up differently depending on your hormonal profile, daily movement habits, and physical demands.
👩🦰 In Women
Women often experience:
– Pelvic floor dysfunction (leaks, prolapse, heaviness)
– Shallow upper chest breathing linked to anxiety
– Postural collapse from caregiving or prolonged desk work
– Fatigue despite exercise, especially during perimenopause
– Weight changes, cycle irregularities, or disrupted sleep
Sessions for women may focus on:
✔ Pelvic floor re-integration and breath support
✔ Postnatal or perimenopausal strength recovery
✔ Lymphatic stimulation and nervous system reset
✔ Corrective mobility and spinal alignment
👨 In Men
Men often present with:
– Persistent upper trap and QL tension
– Reduced hip and thoracic mobility
– Overuse of dominant muscle groups (pecs, quads, lower back)
– Poor diaphragmatic breathing and core instability
– Irritability or “wired but tired” symptoms
Sessions for men may focus on:
✔ Releasing tension without losing strength
✔ Improving shoulder and spinal control
✔ Breathwork for down-regulation and mental clarity
✔ Core and mobility training to rebalance structural load
🎯 What to Expect in a Session
No two sessions are the same.
Everything is adapted to your symptoms, energy level, and long-term goals.
Depending on your body’s needs, you may experience:
✅ Mat Pilates for deep core and postural support
✅ Reformer or tower system (studio only) for resistance-based strength
✅ Somatic and fascia-focused mobility work
✅ Guided rest practices to calm the nervous system
✅ Strength training using light weights and props
You’ll move with clarity and precision — rebuilding your body’s strength and capacity from the inside out.
🗂️ Personalised Movement Notes & Clinical Insights
I offer personally written notes every few weeks or as clinically appropriate, to help you reflect on how your body is responding over time.
Grounded in direct observation, these notes cover posture, breath quality, muscular activation, and overall system regulation. They offer:
– A gentle, trackable view of how your body is shifting
– Supportive insights for rest or home-based movement
– A professional summary to share with your doctor, physio, or therapist if needed
Whether you're recalibrating after burnout or simply learning to listen more deeply to your body, these notes provide calm structure and steady support along the way.
