This is Julie Ridley
Julie Ridley Coaching | Personal Trainer & Wellness Coach | TEDx Speaker
I am mum to 2 amazing children, dog mum to Loki the Cockapoo and wife to Tom.
I am obsessed with Vikings, a lover of cocktails, dance music, hot weather and sandy beaches.
Summer evenings with friends, the BBQ and my paddleboard at the beach is my best time of year ad its what helps me get through winter.
My passion is to empower women to feel good about themselves for who they are.
Where it all began
I am the CEO and the first name for my business was Be Free PT. It was born in 2018 and has continued to grow with me during this time. Be Free PT was all about women feeling amazing through exercise.
And over the years I have grown as a person and studied to understand how to help women the most.
My passion has always been to understand why people do the things they do.
In 2023, Julie Ridley Coaching became the new name because it is now MORE than Personal Training.
Fitness Saved Me
Fitness saved my life, and i know that sounds dramatic. You see, I suffered with Postnatal depression with both my children. The second time the worst.
After a disappointing visit to the GP, i walked away thinking. “I need to fix this for myself, because no one is coming to save me”…
And so i did! I began to exercise, I found a way to repair my relationship with myself, food, my body and mental wellbeing so i could feel good within myself.
And I did lots of self discovery to work on the root cause of why I was struggling so much.
Roll on a few years and with a desire to help other women feel good, I trained to become a Personal Trainer.
Added Women’s Specific Coaching, NLP, Intuitive Eating, Hypnotherapy, Time Line Therapy and Menopause amongst many others and here I am today.
Helping Women (and the occasional guy) to feel good in the their skin.
