I have always had a passion for learning and supporting others to achieve personal and professional success. As a former Headteacher, I know the tremendous expectations that can be placed upon schools and their staff. I embraced my Headship with enthusiasm and ambition though at times I often felt isolated, insecure and exhausted. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to invest in coaching as part of my leadership development.  It was transformational. Coaching enabled me to improve professionally and create positive change for others. Working with my own coach, I learnt how to work effectively, manage change and remove or overcome any barriers that were holding me back. I became able to balance the demands of an intensive job with a young family and feel far more confident and energized. As a direct result of my experience I wanted to ensure all educators had the opportunity to experience coaching and  build their leadership skills to create success for themselves and inspire their teams and school community.  Feeling the experience of coaching for myself and seeing the positive impact it has on others is the reason I became a qualified coach. I know leadership can be tough, but I also believe it can be the most enjoyable and rewarding role you will ever have. Coaching reminds us of what we value and why we love what we do. Whatever challenges you face as a leader, I can assure you learning coaching is the best decision you will ever make.

As an Essentrics® Instructor I believe that fitness should not be measured with an index, in miles, in muscle mass or in speed, rather, it should be measured in one’s ability to move freely, live actively and without pain. I support my clients to create a balanced body whereby the strength in your muscles doesn't inhibit your movement, and your mobility is enhanced by your strength. So, what is Essentrics®? ESSENTRICS® is a full-body workout that rapidly changes the shape of your body through a dynamic combination of strengthening and stretching. The technique develops lean, strong and flexible muscles with immediate changes to your posture. Perfect for all fitness levels, this program rebalances the body, prevents and treats injuries and unlocks tight joints. With a diverse music playlist accompanying each routine, this equipment-free workout leaves you feeling energized, youthful and healthy! While the technique is original in itself, it has been influenced by several disciplines. Essentrics® draws on the flowing movements of Tai Chi, which create health and balance, the strengthening theories behind ballet, which create long, lean, flexible muscles, and the healing principles of physiotherapy, which create a pain-free body. It is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels. As well, Essentrics® is the perfect complement to our daily activities and other fitness activities. For instance, if you sit at a desk hunched over a computer all day, do heavy lifting, or stand on your feet for hours at a time, there will be repercussions for your physical wellbeing. What about your fitness activities? Do you run, cycle, play sports like football, netball or rugby? While these all provide amazing benefits to your health, they can also create imbalances in the body. Adding Essentrics® to your fitness routine, whether you are an athlete or recreational sports person, will rebalance your body, protect you from injury, and improve your form – all of which will enhance your performance in everything you want and need to do! Essentrics® dynamically combines strengthening and stretching to develop a strong toned body with the complete ability of moving each joint and muscle freely and with full range of motion. Essentrics® will target what you need, unlock what is tight, strengthen what is weak and tone what needs shaping. Essentrics® was created by Miranda Esmonde-White. Miranda is a former professional ballerina, best selling author of Aging Backwards and Forever Painless.
