From Stuck to Strong: Breaking Mental Barriers to Movement
This stigma-free session explores the powerful link between movement and mental wellbeing – without the pressure of “fitness culture.” Whether you’re feeling stuck, low in motivation, anxious, or simply curious about how to feel better in body and mind, this webinar will give you practical, evidence-based tools to get moving in a way that works for you.
Drawing on my 13+ years in mental health and medical settings, and my background in Psychology and Sport & Exercise Psychology, I’ll guide you through the science of how movement boosts mood, focus, and resilience. You’ll discover why starting small matters, how to break free from common mental and emotional barriers to activity, and how to find joy and purpose in everyday movement – no gym required.
