Age is just a number.... Yes I’m putting out there as it seems the most often searched info on me is ‘How old is Rachel Lawrence, The Girl with the Pilates Mat’! No need to wonder any longer, I’m 56 and proud to be. I’m still as bendy and strong as I can be and think I’m doing pretty well for my age. Here’s hoping age is just a number for you too.

Personality disclosure alert! 🚨 I’m a trier, always have been, always will be. Whatever it is, I always want to do my best and I figure ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’ which is why I changed careers in my forties to rekindle my love of movement. Having had a gap of twenty odd years from dancing professionally it was quite a challenge physically, training with twenty something ballerinas but I loved the feeling of strength and power I gained in my body and the surge of confidence I got from that, and from them, they were great girls.

This is now my raisin d’etre, my purpose. I want to help empower women, all women no matter their age to enjoy the strength and the feeling of confidence they gain as they incorporate daily wellness into their lives. So what I’d ask today if you’re reading this is to never give up, never compare yourself to another woman and feel you come up short and to only admire, support and gain strength and confidence from seeing women who are active and healthy. Let’s be strong together, let’s support each other and lift each other up because we all deserve it.

Happy a wonderful day x
