Hi, I'm Clare...
....the Founder of Raw Movement and I am dedicated to changing the culture of movement in workplaces and schools so that people can live easier, pain free lives.
We have a global musculoskeletal crisis going on that I believe can be addressed simply by just showing people how to walk, sit and stand well and how they can weave more movement into their day. Learning the fundamentals of how you move, through movement education, I believe will significantly change your relationship with your physical wellbeing. Schools and workplace are captive audiences to change the health outcomes of many people - this is where my work has most impact.
My passion for teaching people to move better evolved from constantly battling daily pain right from my early 20’s. I was desperate to understand my body better and didn’t want to accept that pain was just part of exercising or growing older.
This led me on a journey to becoming a personal trainer and sharing my knowledge and experience with other people. In 2018 I started teaching my own movement class that continues to throve today. I work in schools and workplaces and I love seeing the big results people experience, from really simply just observing how they move daily.
My days generally involve growing Raw Movement, collaborating with all kinds of workplaces, people and schools and helping people to move better. My daily routine often begins with a walk with our dog, Tim, and Peter my husband. Walking is the best whole body movement you can weave into every day.
I like to do the Parkrun on a Saturday it's such a great way to feel connected with my local community. Movement is an important part of my life, and I’m always looking for new ways to connect with others and share movement ideas.
I am constantly learning and developing new skills to ensure that Raw Movement delivers the best services possible to all our clients.
