Meet Heather
I’m Heather, the founder of Braveheart Fitness. My mission is to empower women to take control of their health and fitness, especially during the transformative midlife years. With a background in personal training and specialised programs for women’s health, I create bespoke fitness packages tailored to each individual’s needs – meeting you exactly where you are!
I’ve always been a sporty soul at heart — the kind of girl who dreamt of becoming a physiotherapist, fascinated by how the body moves and heals.
But like many women, life took me on a different path. I spent years working in the fast-paced corporate world in London, climbing the ladder while quietly putting my own wellbeing on the backburner.
Then, in 2017, everything changed.
I decided to return to what truly lit me up — movement, health, and helping others. I retrained as a personal trainer and haven’t looked back since.
But what really shaped my path wasn’t just what I studied — it was what I lived.
At 44, surgery plunged me into early menopause. I suddenly found myself navigating hot flushes, mood swings, fatigue, and a body that felt unfamiliar. It was a shock — emotionally and physically — and I felt like I was figuring it out in the dark.
What saved me?
Movement. Nourishment. Nature.
Getting outside, moving my body in ways that felt good, and reconnecting with myself became my lifeline — not just physically, but emotionally too.
That’s why I’ve continued to deepen my training — not just in fitness, but in women’s wellness. Today, I specialize in supporting women through:
Menopause and perimenopause
Post-surgery recovery (like C-section and hysterectomy)
Pelvic organ prolapse and core rehabilitation
I understand the fear, frustration, and fatigue these experiences can bring — because I’ve walked through them myself. And I also know the strength, peace, and confidence that comes from having the right support.
That’s what I’m here to offer — whether through movement, mindset, or simply giving you space to be seen, heard, and guided back to your power.
