Not at all. While many athletes benefit from what I do, Raw Power is for anyone who wants to move better, feel stronger, and improve their health. My focus is on linking health and fitness together — whether that means helping someone recover from an injury, build strength for everyday life, improve balance and mobility, or manage long-term wellbeing.

Fitness and strength are always relative; it’s not about competing at a high level, it’s about being fit and healthy enough for your life — whether that’s keeping up with your kids, feeling confident at work, or enjoying hobbies without pain holding you back.

That’s often the best time to start. Many people come to me with aches, pains, or long-standing issues that stop them from moving the way they want to. I’ll always begin with a full consultation and screening so I understand what’s going on, and then we can adapt your treatment or programme to work safely around it.

Sometimes that means using clinical therapy to ease pain and release tension, and other times it means focusing on gentle movement, stretching, or strengthening the areas that need support. Either way, the goal is to help you get back to doing the activities you enjoy — without ignoring or aggravating the problem.

It really depends on your goals, lifestyle, and current level of fitness. For most people, 2–3 sessions a week of structured strength and conditioning, combined with daily movement (like walking, stretching, or mobility work), is enough to see real progress.

The key isn’t about training every day or pushing yourself to the limit — it’s about consistency and balance. I’ll help you build a plan that works alongside your job, family, and recovery needs, so it becomes something you can stick with long-term rather than a short-term blast that leads to burnout.

Remember: progress comes as much from rest, recovery, and nutrition as it does from training.

Yes — nutrition is a key part of linking health and fitness together. At the moment I weave nutrition advice into my clinic work, but I’m also launching dedicated nutrition and fitness programmes very soon.

These programmes are designed to give you clear, practical guidance on what to eat, how to fuel your body, and how to support your training and recovery — without fad diets or unsustainable quick fixes. They’ll be tailored to help you improve health markers (like energy, weight, or cholesterol), while also building the strength and fitness you need for everyday life.

Keep an eye out here and on my Instagram for updates — I’ll be sharing more details as the programmes roll out.

There’s free parking available along New Road and some visitor spaces in Ballin Gardens , so you won’t need to worry about finding a space. If the main spaces are ever full, I’ll let you know in advance where the nearest overflow parking is.

All I would ask is that you do not park on the driveway as this is a private area.

Ideally, no. Please don’t come into the clinic straight after training if you’re still hot, sweaty, and smelling of the gym. You’ll get far more out of your session if your body has had a chance to cool down.

For hands-on therapy (like massage or acupuncture), working on fatigued muscles isn’t as effective. For movement and coaching sessions, you’ll also see better results if you arrive fresh.

If you do want to book on a training day, just leave a little gap to shower and recover first — that way we can make the most of our time together.

Wear something comfortable that you can move easily in — like gym kit, shorts, or leggings with a t-shirt. If we’re doing hands-on therapy, I may need access to the area being treated (for example, your shoulder, back, or leg), so avoid anything too restrictive.

Please don’t come in work clothes you can’t move in, or anything you’d worry about getting creased or marked. Think practical and comfortable — it helps you get the most from your session.

No — I don’t take clinic appointments on weekends. That’s the time I keep for being active myself and spending time with my family.

Part of what I teach is about finding balance, and keeping weekends free is how I make sure I can show up with full energy and focus for my clients during the week.

If you need flexibility, I do offer a range of weekday appointment times so we can usually find something that fits around your schedule.
