We are Cumbrian based facilitators and workshop providers who place the body at the heart of all we do.  In Movement believes in the transformative nature of movement to support personal growth, positive choice making and self-discovery.  Our values are rooted in inclusive, person centred and responsive, strength based approaches. We work with organisations and education providers to support embodied facilitation.

What people say about us

We enjoyed the experience so much we asked Lucy back to provide the same workshop for some of the participants we work with.

I believe Lucy’s work and personal style offers significant benefit to anyone in organisations, to help us to settle fully into ourselves and to liberate our full potential.

After a session with Lucy I experienced a profound transformation in my sense of myself and personal power. My voice and sense of agency had a stronger quality to it. I was coming from within my whole body and space that I inhabit.

This training required me to focus on forgotten elements of my body, stance and movement, as well as considering how this impacts other people and spaces.

Lucy’s work has a substantial theoretical grounding which she makes wholly accessible and practical.

I felt great and it was a real contrast to my typically overly-thinky, heady self.

I enjoyed time to reconnect with myself and it was also a meaningful team experience, providing us all with some well needed time away from our usual workloads.
