How we help you reach Your Peak Potential

Healing & growth aren’t opposites, they’re part of the same path

Our approach is built on 5 foundational pillars, the landscape to your recovery & performance journey.

A whole person approach to adventure & performance

The Ground

Breath, nervous system, hydration

Foundations – Like a solid forest floor that supports every step you take. Everything builds from here. 

The Path

Movement, fascia, skill

 

Blaze the trail – Skill, co-ordination & rhythm. Your whole body trusting movement. Not doing more, less strain more freedom.

The Fuel

Nutrition, sleep, rest

 

Energy – like the fire that powers every adventure, to restore not deplete.

The Weather

Mindset, response, adaptability

Environment – How you navigate internal and external load without being thrown off course.

The Campfire

Rest, reflection, reset

Connection – The warm place to pause and reflect. Shared learning and the comfort of not doing this alone.

Aiden, 1:1 client, Lymm

"Julie helps me get the most from what my body can do."

“Within 3 months, I was going box-to-box like Bellingham again and now I’ve run for 22 minutes and even been skiing. Julie challenges conventional wisdom, keeps me accountable, and shows what’s truly possible.”

“I’ve seen such an improvement that I am thrilled that I have returned to running.  I even completed a sprint triathlon for the first time in 6 years.”

Alasdair, Ramsbottom

"It's given me the confidence to get back running which I didn't think I would do again. It's been liberating! Through this process I will end up better than before the pain started. So in a way it was a bit of a wakeup call and will set me up for the future."

Pam, St Helens

"I was ready to burn my running shoes and give up due to ongoing pain and injury. But now my plantar fasciitis is completely gone.  No more foot pain or back pain. And I am closing in on my half marathon goal. I use everything you taught me and it pays off"

Steve, Tottington

"This has been life-changing for me and one of the best investments in my health that I have done. I am now free from pain in my hips and have better movement in my spine and whole body, as well as an improvement in mental health"

What clients say about working with us

"Julie has in my opinion a unique approach to yoga in that her knowledge,explanation of movement and passion are the best I have seen.
 
Each pose, posture and breath work are broken down carefully and controlled so benefits are ultimately achieved.Her classes are always different and varied.
 
Julie has also helped me with issues I have with my shoulder and lower back as I suffer pain & discomfort by providing me with 121 sessions (a lot more hands on & investigation than NHS).
 
I can highly recommend Julie Tod."

After almost giving up running due to onoing pain and injury, my plantar fasciitis is completely gone. No foot pain or back pain and I am closing in on my half marathon goal.

I use everything you taught me and it pays off!

If you are looking at improving your running technique and remaining injury free, this is a great investment.  Julie and Phil are both passionate about running.  The sessions are easy to follow, they keep things interesting and are individualised to meet your own goals and requirements. 

From individual stretching programs to running form and breath-work, it’s all structured so you can get the most out of your time out on the trail (or road).  Having completed level 1 and now coming to the end of level 2 rebuild to run course my running has greatly improved.  I no longer hell strike, my form is more consistent and I have learned to consciously relax my body whilst running. 

It’s not a magic formula but if you are willing to take on board new ideas and put in the work, I believe you too could have outstanding results.

As I was approaching my 60s I have really enjoyed getting into doing triathlons... but then I started with pain in my hip.   I saw a physio, osteopath, had an X-ray and evan an orthopaedic surgeon.  The view was that it was an overuse strain, but it would not go away. 

David

You’re the first person I’ve met (and I have met A LOT of healthcare practitioners, holistic therapists, yoga teachers etc. in the last few years!) who has understood where I’m at and what the real issues are so for that I will always be grateful. 
 
I have already recommended you to other people in a similar place. I felt pretty bleak when I look back where I was but this has definitely helped me feel positive about the future in terms of what I can achieve.

I believe the Oxygen Advantage really did help deal with altitude better on my trek to Everest base camp.  As we ascended both Chris and I could feel the lack of oxygen but using the nasal breathing techniques you taught us, we seemed to adjust faster than the rest of the group.

There were also several members suffering with symptoms of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) we didn’t have any problems. I was also very surprised that my SPO2 levels, as mine barely dropped below 90.  The other benefit now I am back home , I  sleeping like a baby and no longer snoring!"

Chris Chadwick

Dave McBride

I want to say a massive thanks to Phil for all his efforts to get me and Dave ready for our trek to Everst Base Camp.  It really helped me mentally prepare for the trip knowing I had these Oxygen Advantage breathing techniques up my sleeve to deal with the altitude.

I would say to anyone looking to get those extra gains that this technique really helps open up your airwaves and get more oxygen into your system. This in turn helps you go for longer, recover quicker and push yourselves that extra level.

Julie supported me through my cancer treatment and after an operation on my neck. She was kind, considerate and creative in her yoga exercises to aid my recovery. She was flexible with the sessions depending on my fatigue and health needs.  Julie has taught me some invaluable stretches and exercises to restore my muscles and body after such trauma. I am delighted to say i now have full use of my arm and shoulder. I still regularly practise everything she taught me. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Sarah Goodall

By assessing my body’s entire range of movement Julie was able to identify the route-cause of the adductor strain and develop a program to address this. Over the weeks we improved movement in other areas of the body, like my back, shoulders, neck and core, and I saw how this impacted the injured area.  Although I’m still conscious of my injury,  I am now hiking and running without any pain. I am feeling much less stiff, have a great range of motion – and importantly – I don’t hurt anymore! I am definitely approaching my daily routine with a new vigour, and sense of wellness and calm. The impact on my whole well-being is incredible.

Olly Caunt

I took a back to basics running course with Phil & Julie last year (just after completing an ultra-marathon) because I wanted to improve certain aspects of my running… mainly around running more efficiently over a longer distance… what happened next was Phil & Julie turned everything upside down by showing me what was really important…Fixing issues in my technique, balance & body alignment!  I can’t speak highly enough of how hard they work & how much effort they put into to what they do. The difference they’ve made to my running & overall wellbeing is incredible… in fact, so much so that I’ve just booked on their next course!

Steve Rees

I was paying for an osteopath, waiting for the NHS.  But it felt like there was no end in sight.  But working with Julie on the corrective exercise has been very successful.  I feel I am getting stronger each week. It’s been liberating!  Through this process I will end up better than before the pain started.  So in a way it was a bit of a wakeup call and will set me up for the future.

Pam Darwin

After 10 years of playing football, I was suffering back and knee pain and issues. I was thinking of packing it in. But after regular yoga classes with Julie and some 121 sessions, have seen a massive decrease in injuries and I am still playing!

Oxygen Advantage training has had a huge positive impact in many aspects of my life. My running and cycling has significantly improved, finding myself with more energy and not gasping for breath powering up hills. In addition, the breathing techniques have enabled me to recharge myself, improving mental clarity, reduce stress and get better sleep. Julie is a fantastic coach, who refines your training plan for your unique requirements. Just do it.

Steve Vale

I can’t praise Julie and Phil enough for the coaching on our recent chi running course. The depth of knowledge, ability to guide you clearly and passion for improving their students’ techniques and confidence is beyond what I was expecting when I signed up. We were lucky to have several classes which ended up being one-to-one so benefitted from tailored sessions, but even in bigger groups, nobody is left behind or held back. Fantastic work and a good laugh at the same time.

Tracey Rees Clough

I have been attending the beginners yoga class since January 2018. I had not done any yoga before but Julie is very welcoming and supportive and the class has a positive, inclusive atmosphere. Julie gives clear, easy to follow guidance throughout the class, and is very knowledgeable about precisely how each pose affects the body.
