Living with a long-term health condition or ongoing chronic pain can be frustrating and overwhelming. If you’ve been told all the things you can’t do and are left wondering where to begin, we can help.
Welcome
At Active-Eat, we focus on what you can do and build from there. Using evidence-based techniques, we’ll help you understand your body, how it works, and what you can do to support yourself.
Whether you’re looking for 1-2-1 support, online group sessions, or in-person classes, we have options to suit you. And no matter if you’re 19 or 97, keeping your body moving well is key to staying independent and feeling your best.
Let’s find what works for you—because movement should feel good.
Our Approach
These three words sum up the mission of Active-Eat. Here’s a little insight into each of them:
Function
I’m here to help you improve your mobility, strength, and flexibility. Functional movement allows us to move through life with ease, and I truly believe that no one is ‘broken’ and in need of fixing. Simple, effective techniques can help us adjust our movement patterns, making a real difference to our overall health and wellbeing.
Fuel
We all know that eating well supports a better quality of life. I love helping people feel their best by guiding them to make easy, personalised food swaps. This can be as part of classes or 1-1 sessions or my online products. But fuel isn’t just about what we eat – it’s also about what we feed our minds. That’s why all of my movement sessions include guided relaxation techniques.
Flow
Life is all about ebbing and flowing – things are always changing, I believe that the key to lasting change lies in incorporating mobility, flexibility, and fuel into your daily routine. Together, we'll find ways to weave these practices into your day-to-day life – whether that’s stretching while waiting for the kettle to boil or yummy snacks that give you more energy.
“You wouldn’t believe how much learning to stand, walk and breathe correctly can lower your pain levels! Since joining the class I can stand for longer and my balance has improved. Before joining the class, I couldn’t get down on the floor or back up again without help – now I can!” Anon Class Participant
About me
My approach is always supportive, accessible, and tailored to you. I’m passionate about helping people move in ways that feel good and support their long-term health.
Living with a long-term condition has taught me to focus on what we can do rather than what we can’t. And it’s this focus I keep at the heart of all my sessions.
With a background in competitive sport, a deep love of movement, and extensive training in Dru Yoga, Restore Your Core, back care, and joint health, I help people understand their bodies and move with ease.
I also have a strong interest in nutrition, helping others make simple, sustainable changes to improve their energy and well-being.

Feel Better Sessions
If you struggle with pain or health issues and find it difficult to get up and down from the floor, you're in the right place. Each session combines mindful movement, gentle strengthening, and simple techniques to ease discomfort. You'll gain a better understanding of why you experience certain symptoms and, more importantly, explore what you can do to feel better—without pressure, judgment, or expectation.
Active Joints Membership
Aching joints and stiffness don’t have to be part of everyday life or getting older. Whether you're 19 or 90, you can stay fit, active, and mobile with the right movement approach. The Active Joints Membership is designed to help you keep doing the things you love—whether that’s walking, gardening, playing with the kids/grandkids, or just feeling more comfortable in your own body.
Personalised 1-2-1 Sessions
Working with me one-to-one can be incredibly beneficial for so many reasons. Whatever your reason, each session is fully tailored to your needs. Before we start, I’ll review videos and photos you send me so I can assess your movement patterns—this means we can make the most of our time together. After your session, you’ll receive a recording, plus any personalised homework videos if needed.

Which class is right for you?
Being diagnosed with a health condition can feel overwhelming, or sometimes it’s a relief—finally, an explanation for how you’ve been feeling. But knowing what to do next can be a minefield.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with a condition for years, I’m here to help. My classes are warm, welcoming, and designed to work with how you feel today—not what you could do last week or years ago. The goal? You leave feeling better than when you arrived.
So, how do you know which class is right for you?
- If you have a long-term health condition or pain and can’t get up and down from the floor, Feel Better Sessions are a great place to start.
- If you’re a bit more active, experience niggles like backache or stress, and can move to and from the floor, the Active Joints Membership would work well for you.
- And if you have an injury or want a deeper understanding of your body with a personalised plan, 1-2-1 sessions will give you tailored support.
Whatever you choose, you’ll be supported every step of the way.
“I have had fantastic feedback from my patients regarding these classes. One woman told me that they had helped her feel more flexible, she was able to exercise more and she could manage her pain better. I have heard great comments about the support and advice Jenny gives. These classes seem to be great value for patients, and really help them self-care and manage their conditions better.” West Yorkshire GP
