Our Story at Nurture Movement is shaped by lived experience, curiosity and years of helping people reconnect with what their bodies are still capable of, whether that’s:
walking further without needing to stop
bending down more comfortably
feeling steadier on hills and uneven ground
keeping up with the people and things they love
If you’re anything like us, you don’t exercise just to check a box.
You want to feel connected to what your body can do.
You want it to support your actual life.
After years of figuring out movement challenges, we’ve learnt that the body is far more adaptable than we’re often led to believe.
With the right support, people can start enjoying the moments they thought they’d have to leave behind.
My work combines movement coaching, Pilates and restorative massage techniques.
It connects people back with the parts of themselves they’d slowly started doubting.
Hi, I’m Sharron (founder of Nurture Movement),
I still remember being in the supermarket one day and having to leave my trolley halfway round because the pain in my neck, back and arms was so bad I genuinely didn’t know if I could drive home.
I was only 26!
Which made it even more frustrating because every time I tried to get help, I felt brushed off.
I was told things like “you’re too young for this” and handed painkillers or basic exercise sheets, but nobody really explained why my body felt the way it did or what I could actually do about it.
For about a year, I went from physios to osteopaths to chiropractors trying to find answers, but most of it felt passive. I kept feeling like I was handing my body over to someone else to fix.
Then I found Pilates.
And for the first time, I felt connected to my body instead of fighting against it.
I started understanding movement differently and realised I could influence how my body felt rather than waiting for someone else to “fix” me.
That changed everything.
I became fascinated by movement and the ways pain, stiffness, weakness and fear can slowly change how people live their lives.
Since then, I’ve spent years studying different movement approaches, learning from incredible mentors, and developing a way of working that helps people feel stronger, more capable and more confident in everyday life.
Because I don’t believe people should spend years awkwardly groaning about what their body can’t do and pretending it’s normal.
A lot of the people I work with have already tried the stretches, the generic exercises, and the advice to “just move more” without really feeling any different.
What I love most is helping people realise they are not fragile.
Seeing someone bend down without hesitation, walk without worrying, or get up from the floor more easily never gets old to me.
Because those moments change far more than pain, they change what people believe is still possible for them.
I hope to get to meet you soon,
Sharron
I love helping people feel more confident in the way they move through life.
