Home-Based Support: movement that feels safe where you are
Feel stronger from your own space
If the gym feels like too much right now, or you simply feel more regulated at home, I can bring coaching to you. Whether it's your living room or garden, we make the space work for movement, not the other way around.
Training in your home or outdoor space
No equipment needed – we use what you have
Calming, pressure-free environment
Movement plans to boost energy without triggering shutdown
Optional hybrid with online or gym support when you're ready
You deserve movement that works with your nervous system, not against it.
The Not So Typical Approach:
-
Sensory-Aware Training
Environments, movements, and equipment selected to prevent overwhelm and maximise comfort.
-
Executive Function Support
Flexible scheduling, reminders, and accountability systems that work with ADHD and autistic brains.
-
Routine Building
Gradual, sustainable habit formation that avoids the burnout cycle
-
Embracing Your Strengths
Focus on what your unique neurotype brings to fitness rather than trying to force neurotypical approaches.
-
Support Between Sessions
You’ll have access to ongoing support between sessions, so you’re never left figuring things out alone.
-
Bespoke Programmes
Your plan is tailored to you, no generic templates, just personalised guidance that fits your life and goals.
You don’t need to feel ready. You just need to feel willing.
I offer a free, no-pressure discovery call where we can talk through your goals, fears, and what support might look like — no judgment, no obligation.
Testimonials

I’ve never felt this safe in a gym before. Rhiannon just gets how my brain works and is the first personal trainer to listen to my worries when it comes to my health conditions. Other PTs pushed me too far and dismissed my physical health conditions leading to injury - I don't worry about this with Rhiannon and my strength and confidence is building every session!

Membership is completely free. I created this space because I know how isolating fitness can feel when you're neurodivergent. I believe everyone deserves access to supportive fitness resources that actually work for their brain.
