Restore Your Strength
Hello
I’m Sam
At Restore Your Strength, my mission is to help you improve your overall well-being through compassionate, personalised movement - designed to support both your body and how you see yourself.
I help people - especially those recovering from injuries, dealing with postural imbalances, or coming back after long periods of inactivity, build strength and flexibility in a way that feels natural, enjoyable, and meaningful. No beating your body up - just movement that supports you, feels good, and helps you grow stronger over time.
This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about creating lasting change that fits into your life.
But my approach is about more than just exercise. Through Nature-Based Movement, I encourage small, sustainable changes that go beyond workouts - helping you move with ease, breathe with awareness, and build habits that support both your body and mind.
My focus is on generating a feeling of self-compassion, through a process of accepting where you are, creating small incremental changes that allow you to trust and reconnect with your body.
Whether we’re working on strength, balance, or movement in nature, my goal is to help you create lasting, healthy changes that feel good and fit your life.
My Story
I started this journey because my body wasn’t doing what I wanted anymore, and I was afraid of damaging it while trying to fix things. After a few accidents (nothing life-threatening, thankfully), my body was so out of alignment that any exercise I tried made things worse. Push-ups hurt, squats felt off, deadlifts messed with my back, and running gave me shin splints; it was all just awful. I felt like everyone else was getting it right while I was doing it wrong.
I had a choice: keep pushing and risk more damage or step back and figure out what my body actually needed. I chose the latter, and that decision changed everything.
I started my journey by completing Personal Training Levels 2 & 3, then dove into Corrective Exercise courses, a GP Referral program, and Barefoot Training.
I found a love for kettlebells with StrongFirst Kettlebell Training, and I expanded my knowledge into flexibility, mobility, nutrition, and breathing techniques. I even trained in integrative life coaching to so that I felt I had more tools in my box to help people make the changes they wanted in a supportive environment.
What I learnt was that I didn't like the fitness culture I lived in, I was much more geared towards helping myself and others create what I believed to be a more positive way in which I looked at movement, my body and how I treated myself.
I believe true resilience comes from tuning into your body and responding to the feedback it gives you. Movement isn’t just something you do - it’s a conversation, built on patience, awareness, trust and consistency
As a movement coach, I guide people through strength and flexibility practices that help them tune in, move with greater awareness, and rebuild confidence in themselves and their bodies. When you understand what you're doing and why, everything changes. This journey is about working with your body, not against it.
My Approach:
❇️ Strength & flexibility is a Journey – There are no shortcuts or quick fixes, just steady, compassionate progress rooted in Nature-Based Movement, allowing you to grow stronger in a way that feels natural and sustainable.
❇️ Sustainable Growth – Balance intensity with wisdom, preserving both strength and skill while staying connected to movement that feels intuitive, not forced - whether in nature or daily life.
❇️ Patience & Deep Listening – Nature-Based Movement teaches us to tune into our bodies, to hear its signals, and to respond with care, moving in ways that support, rather than strain, our well-being.
