Movement Coaching by Marie Gwynbleidd

For more than ten years, my work has been shaped by a simple question: how can movement help us live life more fully? I’ve always been a sensitive person, and had periods of living with IBS. I know how quickly pain, discomfort or simply feeling sluggish can make your world feel smaller. There are days when even getting out of bed can feel like effort. Movement has become one of the ways I keep that world open.

Through regular practice, I’ve found a sense of ease in my body that allows me to do the things I care about — to run after my child, to move freely.

A big part of that learning has been understanding that movement can’t always be something we squeeze into the gaps of an already full life. Sometimes we have to shape our lives around the things that keep us well. For me, that has meant changing priorities, protecting time for regular exercise and treating movement as something essential rather than optional.

What I can offer you:

My approach brings together more than ten years of experience across Yoga, Pilates, strength training and movement coaching, alongside a Master’s degree in Psychology, extensive study of anatomy and physiology, and research experience in women’s health psychology.

I have also spent many years immersing myself in more demanding movement disciplines such as handstands, partner acrobatics and Acroyoga, both teaching internationally and learning from teachers across Europe. That experience has given me a detailed understanding of how movement can be broken down, adapted and progressed — and how much becomes possible when someone is given the right support.

What I can offer you is not simply a set of exercises. It is the ability to look at where you are now, understand what may be holding you back, and find a way of moving forward that feels safe, intelligent and achievable.

I feel deeply grateful to do this work because I have seen how much impact the right movement practice can have on someones life. Sometimes it begins with something small — moving without pain, feeling stronger, having more energy — but those changes can open up far more of life.
