Gill, like the rest of the team, loves her exercise and is a keen runner and a run leader for the local Run 4CF running group.

Amy was led into the industry by her love for cycling. Though racing on the road and being brought up in anment, Amy has always had a keen interest in health and well- sporting envirobeing.

Amy joined the team, completed her Sports Massage training in 2017, and more recently qualified as a fitness instructor; and she continues to expand her skills and knowledge, both in manual therapy and exercises to help people. One of her favourite ways to work and to look at the body is through the fascia. It is an amazing structure of connective tissue that can affect movement and manipulate the body's structures. Fascial release is defiantly a modality she believes everyone can benefit from at some point.

Her cycling has and continues to take her to many beautiful places, enabling her to experience so much and learn from so many people. She hopes to help people with her experiences, to keep them moving, and to become aware of how their bodies can work for them. Amy’s latest venture is workshops, including stretching and sound baths, through the Stretch and Sound Bath Sanctuary.
