About Me

I'm Liz, a movement coach, Pilates and yoga teacher, and neurodevelopmental movement consultant based in Gloucestershire. I have a First Class degree from the University of Bristol and years of experience working with children and young people in a variety of settings — from children's yoga classes to supporting young people through trauma-informed programmes across the South West.
I am a qualified children's yoga teacher and have worked with young people across a wide age range, creating safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate movement experiences. I understand the nervous system — not just theoretically, but practically — and I bring that understanding into everything I do with children.
Alongside my movement background in Pilates, qigong, and somatic yoga, I have trained in neurodevelopmental movement with Bette Lamont (Developmental Movement Consultants) and am currently training in MNRI® with Svetlana Masgutova and the Melillo Method. This means I have a deeper understanding of child development, sensory regulation, and nervous system health than most, and I naturally bring a calm, attuned presence to my time with children.
I hold a Level 3 Safeguarding certificate with Gloucestershire County Council and have extensive safeguarding training including responding to disclosures, county lines, domestic abuse, and working with vulnerable young people. I have worked in high-risk child and family support settings and have a thorough understanding of child protection.
I am patient, warm, and genuinely passionate about children. I love being active and creative, and I'm happiest when I can bring movement, curiosity, and a sense of fun into a child's day. Whether that's a yoga game in the garden, a walk with intention, or simply being a steady, grounding presence — I show up fully for the children in my care.
I am looking for a part-time Nanny position as an addition to what I already do.
