My story
I'm Liz Marsland, BSc: ex-athlete, personal trainer and massage therapist, and someone who learned the hard way why slowing down matters.
For years, my sport, my physique and competing were my identity. My worth felt tied to how I performed and how I looked. I pushed harder, kept going and called it discipline, until I burned out. My mind and body had become too strained to carry on the way I was.
What followed was a long journey of slowing down. I tried what worked for me: yoga, sound, meditation, breathwork, time in nature and community. I learned what helps me feel balanced, and just as importantly, how to recognise the signs when I am not. Now I notice them sooner and know how to respond with kindness instead of pushing through.
Why I do this
Making space in our lives by promising ourselves more slow moments is an ongoing practice, just like work and exercise. It is so needed, yet it is the least talked about, because we all want a quick fix.
I see this gap all the time with my clients in personal training and massage. Now I want to use my lifelong learning to help others, so they can perform well in every area of life, feel comfortable in their own skin and build a better relationship with themselves.
