I have been running since 2016 and have been a member of the Steel city Striders since 2017, here I trained to be a LIRF (leader in running fitness) and will be finishing my CIRF (coaching in running fitness) next year. I do anything from 5ks to Ultras and especially love trail running. Over the years I’ve had many sports massages, which have helped massively with my running and general well-being . Last year I decided I needed a new career where I could do something meaningful whilst helping others so I trained as a sports massage therapist. I love that I can help people with various niggles and make them feel better and to enable to carry-on doing the things they love. As a runner and having had various niggles and injuries, I have a really good understanding of what different niggles and injuries actually feel like so I can really empathise as well as help.
Nancy is a UKAthletics Running Coach and a Pilates Teacher. She has always loved being active; competing in tetrathlons as a child. Since then her passions have been cycling, where she has competed in time trial road races and long-distance sportives that involved climbing mountains regularly seen in the Tour de France. More recently she has become an avid trail runner completing several ultra-marathons in the last couple of years.
Nancy started working in advertising but she decided it was time to reflect on her passion for being active in her work. In 2016 she retrained and is now a Pilates teacher and a running coach. Nancy works with athletes to help them improve their movement and strength or to assist in recovering from injuries and managing long-term health issues. Nancy suffered a back injury in 2003 leaving her with long-lasting chronic pain and experiencing first-hand the frustration of not being able to do the things that you love. It was through Pilates, alongside strength & conditioning that has enabled Nancy to maintain a healthy, pain-free body and to return to the activities she loves.
Nancy works with runners, triathletes and cyclists across all abilities to help them meet their goals, whether it’s managing pain, or running a 5km through to an ultra marathon. She feels there is nothing better than an athlete feeding back that they have just done something they never thought they had the confidence to do before or they didn’t believe in themselves.

After recently completing my bachelor’s with honours in sport and exercise therapy from Leeds Beckett University, I started my career at Made To Move to develop my understanding of common sports injuries and how to rehabilitate them effectively.
I have a keen interest in delivering therapeutic massage therapy and using other methods to get the best outcome for my clients. I have a history of great work experience in elite sports, large running events and private clinical practice.
As an Alumni, I am continuously developing my further understanding of how the body works and specific ways that can help the body recover from pain/injury. Having recently sustained a dislocating patella (knee cap) I plan on building my strength and endurance back up so I can become fitter and more active whilst empowering myself as an injury therapist and grow my current skillset and knowledge.
