About Hester : I am a level 3 personal trainer and baking addict! I have always been interested in fitness, being outdoors, and feeling healthy. For me being outdoors and exercising go hand in hand. I love the countryside, no matter what the weather! There is nothing more energising than stepping out into the fresh air and getting a sweat on. There is something about being outside that detaches you from the stresses of life and brings you back down to earth.
About Ros:
I first qualified as a massage therapist in 1999, then moving into sports and remedial massage in 2002. I began working and providing companies with on-site massage.
I began my career as a massage therapist in Selfridges (London) and have over the years worked in many different environments, such as Holmes Place Health Club at Reaqua Spa, Farmacia Urban Healing in Covent Garden and other workplaces like office environments. I also worked at the Stock Exchange! I found that I had developed many fields of interests in my work.
Nutrition is the latest health subject I have studied since 2012. I have been able to assist with clients health concerns by giving nutritional advice and listening to what their concerns are when it comes to eating the right foods and taking supplements. The latest study I have completed is nutritional therapy. This enables me to assist with ailments that can be helped with food.
We sometimes neglect ourselves and need some time to regain ourselves. This is what I do; my approach is to be kind to yourself and listen to your body.
