Wendy has created a truly practical and positive way to tap into the power of movement. A life-changing book for anyone looking to live better, for longer. That's all of us! * Rosie Nixon - Author, Speaker and Editor * Clear, practical and inspiring, this book gives us all we need to stay mobile, build functional strength and enjoy moving our amazing bodies forever * Susan Saunders, author of The Power Decade: How to Thrive After Menopause * Packed with inspirational stories and practical tips from Wendy's work as a movement coach, this is an accessible guide to moving better and moving more. This book provides a much-needed reminder that movement is more than just 'exercise' - it's a vital part of a life lived to the full, at any age. * Caroline Williams, author of Move! The New Science of Body Over Mind * Having rediscovered the joy and benefits of moving during perimenopause, I'm now in my 60s and very much enjoying this post menopause chapter! Through research and personal experience I've realised that ageing does not mean inevitable decline. What it does mean however is that we need to prioritise how we move throughout the day as well as during exercise. Wendy's practical and inspiring framework gives us all a structure to help guide those daily movement choices, creating confidence, joy and optimism for the future. * Jo Moseley (@jomoseley), Bestselling award-winning author, Paddleboarder, sea dipper and beach cleaner * Finally, a way to look at movement that fits naturally into my day rather than something I have to force into an already busy lifestyle - practical, encouraging and genuinely life-changing. * Hilary Salzman, author of The Roar of Her Story * Wendy has a gift for helping people rediscover trust in their bodies and their own capabilities. Her approach to everyday movement is refreshingly grounded. This book is a brilliant companion for anyone ready to move through life with more confidence and ease. * Gill Erskine & Andrew Telfer, Wildstrong UK * It's so important not just to exercise but to keep moving your body in many and variable ways and to keep doing this well into midlife and beyond. This book is full of fascinating science that supports this and then practical ways to fit more movement into everyday life * Andy Bryant - Natural Podiatrist * To move well for life, you have to enjoy moving your body - and that doesn't come from pressure or perfectionism. Wendy understands what real people need: to feel confident using their bodies in ways that fit real life. This book doesn't just inspire you to do that - it also gives you the tools to make it happen. * Kate Oakley, Founder of Your Future Fit * I am glad to endorse Move Well For Life, believing as I do that a regular routine of exercise is one of the three pillars of a healthy life (the others being a sensible vegan-ish diet, and a positive mindset). This book not only provides us all with the essential information about good exercise, but also helps us develop our own personal regime of 'moving well', and practising it for the rest of our lives. If you want to 'live longer, better', this is the book for you. * Sir Chris Ball - Academic, Lecturer, Warden and distance runner, founder of the Brathay 10 in10 challenge * This book is an excellent guide for anyone seeking motivation, practical guidance, and inspiring insights to improve their movement. Wendy weaves her own journeys wisdom and her clients' experiences into a beautiful, accessible resource that's perfect for setting new habits in 2026. As a movement specialist who has witnessed thousands of people transform their wellbeing through daily movement, I can say this is the kind of book you'll want to keep referring back to. A trusted companion for a healthier, more embodied you. * Verity Bell, Gait, Breath, Yoga and Biomechanics specialist * An inspiring, deeply practical guide that meets you where you are. Move Well for Life, has been transformational and has taught me to think about movement, whatever I am doing and being mindful of how I move through my day. This is a game-changer. Wendy brilliantly reminds us that so much of what our bodies need is what we have simply forgotten, natural movements that once felt effortless. She strips away the pressure and perfection, offering instead a sustainable path to reclaiming the strength, mobility, and confidence that's always been within us. * Caroline Cary, Founder of Eat Nourish Love * In a modern world which is increasingly sedentary and with healthy ageing an increasing priority for us all, movement has never been more important. Move for Life is an informative, accessible and above-all enormously practical guide to moving more in our daily lives. Written by someone who personally understands the power of movement to transform health and wellbeing, Wendy's knowledge of her subject and passionate communication is compelling. This is definitely a book I'll be recommending to my patients. * Dr Susan Taheri, GP and founder of Moving Well Garden * An inspiring and practical guide that redefines how we think about fitness and wellbeing. This book offers accessible strategies that weave movement into daily life, encouraging readers to see opportunities for alignment, balance, and playful exploration in ordinary routines. Wendy's approach is holistic, emphasising not just physical health but also joy, resilience, and independence, making movement sustainable across all stages of life. With relatable storytelling, actionable exercises, and a compassionate voice, Move Well for Life is more than a fitness manual-it is a call to reclaim the freedom of movement as a foundation for lifelong wellbeing. * Claire Hattrick- The Executive Menopause Coach *

Author Information

The benefits of using whole-body movement patterns and the philosophy of training real life practical movements and moving the way the human body was designed, reframed her view from being a sedentary athlete, to choosing to 'move well' for life. Originally MovNat certified and now a Human Movement Restoration Specialist & FRC certified, she supports people to improve their movement habits through online courses, coaches group movement classes in an online membership, offers private coaching sessions online and in Oxford and is the host of the 5 star rated podcast, 'Make Movement Matter'.
