Depression Counselling
Simona has an ability to put you at ease from the start. I feel well supported and cared for in regaining the connection with my inner self and body. The journey that I am undertaking by doing breathing therapy sessions is the one that does not compare to anything else I’ve experienced, it has calmed my overwhelmed mind and brought me peace and changed my mindset completely and Simona has been there providing her guidance every step of the way.

Personal Trainers
Simona & Ian Armstrong at Studio109Malvern are a great team. They have introduced a whole new outlook and the inspiration to learn more. The programme has been well planned taking into account my age and capabilities. And I look forward to each session. More...
Mr Haughey
Having spent years on yo yo diets and fitness trends I was introduced to Ian and Simona who pretty quickly put me on an incredible path which has been amazing, both physically and mentally. The training is really bespoke and well thought out and I have also been lucky enough to experience the breathing therapy too which is such a lovely relaxing yet energising experience. I whole heartedly recommend Studio109! More...

I have had regular Zoom sessions with Simona since lockdown and worked in person with both Simona and Ian prior to lockdown and at their studio the weekend before last. They know their stuff and can adapt their knowledge and techniques to suit both me as a woman of 76 and to how one feels on the day. I have become fitter and more flexible, never an ache or pain, never an injury through training. I thoroughly recommend them both. More...
Ian
I have recently been under a tremendous amount of pressure recently with life issues including a recent bereavement. This has been affecting my ability to live a full life.
Simona offered a way to potentially help with these issues - breathing exercise sessions.
I'll admit that I was skeptical but as she described the process and the benefits with such knowledge and passion I was happy to try it out.
Well, I wasn't disappointed. The session was a revelation. Simona was highly professional in her approach, initially outlining the process, discussing the benefits of the treatment, and making sure I was happy and what sort of things I had concerns about.
I would highly recommend Simona and her range of services. She shows great empathy and awareness of your needs and made me feel secure and comfortable.
An experience I would like to repeat.

I enjoyed my first session very much. It was totally relaxing and I was given a generous amount of time during which I was genuinely listened to. A suggested program was emailed to me within a few days. I now have a once per week session and I look forward to it as it fills me with good intentions……! More...
How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?
A healthy diet provides essential nutrients that the body requires in order to achieve great functioning and performance throughout the day, and not last to help the individual sleep well (that's when the body recovers and heals). Therefore, eat healthy if you want to have the energy to enjoy your life!
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Everyone is different and when it comes to Personal Training there isn't a one size fits all formula! Listening to my clients is key in being able to respond to their needs and structure my sessions accordingly. The more I know about them (i.e lifestyle, preferences, eating habits, stress levels, injuries, illnesses, etc) the more I can help. We form a bond, a connection that allows my clients to feel safe, relax, and be motivated.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Feeling motivated - that's the answer. If I get my client motivated not just throughout the sessions but throughout the day, then he/she stands a chance of getting the body of their dreams. Motivation gives the person the energy to engage, to want to know more, and discover more about himself/herself. The "body of your dreams" is the best version of you. If my client is keen on this, I will gladly show him/her what it takes. It isn't that hard but it needs motivation followed by commitment, openness, and curiosity.
What do you love most about your job?
I love how it transforms people's lives for the better and I feel so fulfilled by it.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The joy of sharing my experience and knowledge, going through thick and thin with my clients, and being part of their transformation...
Why should our clients choose you?
From my clients' feedback, I understand that I've given them more than they've ever dreamed of. And I would say, that it's true because I will always put in more time, more effort, more love, more care. And I do that with great pleasure!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. All services are available on Zoom and when requested/needed I travel to reach my clients.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
The studio is being used exclusively for one client at a time and all equipment is disinfected before and after the session.
Personal Training
A diverse range of workouts and exercise therapies to suit your lifestyle needs will be delivered with great care and expertise.
Body conditioning and strengthening, mobility, flexibility, and endurance will be part of your training routine to help you reach your fitness goals.
Nutrition
A healthy diet is a diet that provides the individual with the nutrients that the body requires in order to achieve great functioning and performance throughout the day, and not last to help the individual sleep well, so he/she can recover and heal fast.
Therefore, the changes in your diet will be advised according to your lifestyle, preferences, needs, and goals.
The idea is to make you more conscious of your food choices and the impact this may have on your behaviour. Ultimately, we want you to enjoy eating and benefit from knowing when and what is best to eat.
Breathing Therapy
Knowing your breath is getting to know everything about the self. How you breathe determines how you feel.
Free your breath to free yourself!
The breath is a powerful teacher and a great healer if given the opportunity.
I will guide you into connecting to your breath and how you can make use of it to heal various ailments from your body.
