Episode #32. From barriers to breakthroughs: harnessing mindset for healthy movement habits with Janey Holliday
Are you ready to shift your perspective on fitness? In the latest episode of the Make Movement Matter podcast, I chat with Janey Holliday, who went from being a self-confessed exercise hater to a thriving fitness coach and now mindset coach. Together, we dive deep into how our mindset shapes our relationship with movement and why it’s essential to challenge the traditional narratives surrounding exercise.
We talk about the power of community, the importance of individualized approaches, and how a "happily doing" mindset can make all the difference in building sustainable habits.
Whether you’ve struggled to find joy in exercise or are looking for ways to overcome personal blocks, this conversation offers a whole host of valuable insights and practical tips to rethink your movement journey. Discover how to create a fitness routine that feels good and works for YOU!

More about your host, Wendy
Wendy (50) founded Reclaim Movement after a running injury at 40 turned into 4 years of chronic pain. In her search for answers and to reclaim her own movement again she discovered natural movement. The philosophy of training real life practical movements to be able to keep using them as we age, coupled with the benefit of using strengthening and mobilising whole-body movement patterns that are underused in today’s modern world made her realise she had found a way to move for life.
Wendy’s aim is to help people embrace a movement-rich life, at any age, to improve mobility, strength and confidence to keep moving well and doing the things they love for as long as they want.
MovNat Level 1 certified & Functional Range Conditioning certified, she coaches online group classes live & by replay in the Reclaim Movement membership as well as online and in-person private coaching in Oxford.
