In Liz's words:

I am passionate about life, movement and freedom of expression.

'Fit from Within' encapsulates everything I believe in... that deep within our core is the jewel, the God-like part of us that is our essence, our truth, our bliss...

My journey took a kick start just after my 2nd son was born in 1986, who became very sick and my husband was diagnosed with cancer & died just before his 26th birthday.

Although I re-married soon after, the 'nightmare' experience of losing the father to my children developed into chronic fatigue syndrome, hypochondria (although I now believe that all dis-ease comes from the mind) & a constant fear that I may too die at a young age. My late twenties and early thirties were consumed with fear, addictions (including exercise), the music industry, teaching Aerobics, juggling being a mum, wife & earning a living.

And then I discovered Yoga.

I trained with Ruth White and particularly enjoyed the philosophy... it resonated through my entire being and made me excited to be alive! I took life changing personal development courses, & then met Peter King who has been my coach & mentor for the past 10 years. After studying Pilates in one of the UK's very first matwork courses and 10 years later finding the technique becoming dull, I found Linda Zurack & then Karin Locker at the Contrology Studio, where my passion was re-ignited with the Classical pilates method - & went on to study with Karin to become one of the few teachers in the UK to teach Pilates in this purest form. It really is the most superior form of pilates - and I've trained with many schools of pilates!

My focus for so long was to de-stress, and I found that having adolescent free - spirited sons was the most exhaustive experience I could have ever imagined! Working one on one with many clients, it's always so humbling to hear what other people go through, but the one thing I learnt was this... every so called obstacle is an opportunity for growth. And so life gave me plenty of opportunities for growth - and for that I am grateful. I have learnt that Change is an inevitable process... expect to 'fall off your path' but know that you can pick yourself up again... and stronger... and never be afraid to ask for help. When I was at my lowest point, when there was no-one or no-thing that could pick me up from my desperation... this was the point at which I turned to God & asked for help. I learnt that when you surrender and allow the universal energy to flow through you - that anything and everything is possible.

I also surrounded myself with like-minded people, books, cd's... because what you focus on grows... I learnt about manifesting, and creating your dreams to come true... and also acceptance... that everything is on purpose... which took me to Theta Healing... looking at your belief system and how it is a reflection of your life.

Years of stress takes its toll on the body, but since taking regular super-charged green drinks
(Fit from Within superfoods) for the past 6 years, I am a great believer not just in you are what you eat, but also you are what your body can absorb... and so you are what you can't eliminate! Hence a fascination with detox, particularly in the form of nutrition and infra-red saunas, the most effective form of detox known to mankind (apart from positive thinking which is No1!)

Retreats are an important part of my life now, and are wonderful opportunities for transformation and change I see people coming home from a week of healthy food, yoga, pilates, healing, relaxation and laughter, looking 10 years younger!

'Fit from Within' has been a personal journey for me, and also for many of my clients who have travelled with me for over a decade! At nearly 50 years im feeling amazing... strong, focused, excited, passionate... and my intention as always is to pass that feeling on to as many others as I can.
