About Us
Laura Swanson
Stephanie Jane Rowden
I was a Le Cordon Bleu chef for many years but felt something was missing, so I decided to leave it behind and got a job as a receptionist at a gym.
After training with my personal training sister and working within the fitness environment, I realised that this was the world I wanted to be part of and I have been helping people since 2014.
​
I have competed in many bikini competitions and won my WBFF pro card, but I have also personally been through a lot of extreme diets, been every body shape & size, and I suffer from IBS.
​
This prompted me to want to learn more so that I could help my clients further, so I studied as an evidence-based nutritionist so that I could help people like myself.
​
I'm passionate about empowering women with knowledge and supporting them along all phases of their lives for any goal.
After finding a love for lifting weights in 2018, I have never looked back. I found a form of exercise I enjoy and have managed to transform my confidence & body composition by using the methods I now replicate with my clients.
As one of the many vegans in the fitness industry, we can be faced with a lot of stigma and I want to be an example of how vegans CAN achieve their goals.
​
I have a BSc in Psychology and a Level 4 Advanced Personal Trainer qualification and help others on a vegan diet realise that it does not limit your abilities.
​
I am super passionate about women's health and think it is a topic not spoken about enough, so I am currently studying to qualify to help support pre & postnatal ladies.
