Live well in Midlife
Wellbeing for women in midlife.
Health and Mindset Coaching to help you become stronger, more confident and feel like yourself again.
We empower you to thrive.
Modern day midlife is busy. We often have high expectations of ourselves to constantly achieve and perform.
Menopause related symptoms such as aches, stiffness and joint discomfort, amongst other symptoms, can make us feel limited and uncomfortable, often affecting sleep which can bring other challenges.
We believe in a holistic approach to support your physical, mental and environmental health at a time in your life when your body is changing.

Our Menopause Walks bring women in midlife together to walk and talk, and have space away from everyday challenges; physical, mental and emotional. The Walks encourage movement in a gentle way, and the opportunity for connection with like-minded people.
Menopause Walks can also support your organisation to encourage regular movement and connection through organised walks.
We currently run a monthly Saturday morning walk in Bracknell in conjunction with Sarah at Mindful and Me:

Move Mindset’s mission is to help you to Live Well.
The changes we experience within midlife can often be complex, challenging and overwhelming, leaving us feeling out of control and lost.
Advice and information on health and wellbeing is widely available but often confusing. We provide evidence based information in bite-size chunk, helping to make decisions and actions simple.
Our thoughts and emotions play such a significant part in our actions and behaviours day to day.
We support you in recognising the thoughts that are stopping you, creating barriers, influencing the actions that you take, so you can make change on your terms.

Health and Wellness Coaching is a process that helps to empower people to recognise their own strengths. It helps people to gain the skills, confidence and motivation to take action.
At the heart of this, Move Mindset helps you to focus on what matters to you.
The systems in our body are CONNECTED in so many intricate ways. By addressing one area, this will have a knock on effect into other areas of your life.
Health and wellness coaching helps to support self-management i.e. recognising what you need in life to thrive, and giving you the confidence to do this on your own, knowing that help is there when you need it.

“Above all do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of wellbeing and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But, by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be alright.”
— Soren Kierkegaard

WalkActive Testimonial from Claire
“The whole experience was really useful and I enjoyed both sessions. The sequential way that Faye built on the basics of the technique through to ways to improve pace was great.
Walking Coaching Testimonial from Clare
“After just three sessions, I felt my head spin slow down. The goal setting really helped me to find manageable focus. I thought I already knew what I needed to do, but I just hadn’t gotten round to it. Going through this process has broken down obstacles I didn’t know I had and unlocked a clear, manageable direction for me. It has enabled me to form and stick to habits. Move Mindset has completely reset my focus. The walking sessions made the experience really enjoyable. I would highly recommend.”
Health Coaching Testimonial from Emma
“I had back pain which was uncomfortable and stopping me doing every day tasks with my family. I tried Health Coaching with Move Mindset. I can now walk pain free and am enjoying time out and about with my family.”
About Faye Andrews, Founder of Move Mindset
I’m a Health and Wellbeing Coach, business owner, wife and mum of two children. I spend a fair amount of time at Ice Rinks and at the side of football pitches supporting my kids sporting passions.
I’ve been studying, learning and working with a focus on Health and Wellbeing for 16 years.
Pre-2010 my career and life was very different. I was a Tax Manager for a large Corporate. I found it extremely stressful. I didn’t know how to manage the pressure (much of which was the pressure I put on myself) and eventually this took its tool. My energy was low and my health was all over the place. My body was crying out for a rest.
Following a career break to consider my options, I decided to pursue a completely different path and began a course in Nutrition. Learning all about the systems in the body - hormone functions, the digestive system, nervous system really helped me take steps towards feeling better and feeling healthier.
During my studies I was introduced to the concepts of Neuro-Linguistic programming and more broadly, coaching as tools for helping people to make lifestyle changes.
I instantly recognised the value of coaching for my own personal challenges (worrying about things I couldn’t control, recognising my strengths, accepting my weaknesses) but also as a tool to help work with others to explore what they really want and how they might overcome barriers and conflicts. It ignited a passion for coaching which I continue to develop. I went on to become a Master Practitioner in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming).
As a business owner, it took time to get from the initial seeds of an idea, to making a full commitment and having the confidence and self-belief to follow my passion. This process of discovery led me to recognise that I became more focused, more creative, more committed and less fearful, if I incorporated physical movement into every day. Whilst I always recognised the importance of exercise, there had been many situations and other choices made, where I didn’t prioritise movement, and the outcome in terms of my mental health and the impact on my behaviour, relationships and decisions, were not always great.
My mission then became clear - to help people to move more, both physically, and mentally, as a way of accessing all of the benefits, social connection and confidence that comes with movement and exercise. Following a recent diagnosis of tendonitis of the shoulder, which has compromised my choice of movement and added pain into the mix, this mission has never been so important.
“Exercise is the key not only to physical health but to peace of mind” Nelson Mandela.
I’m passionate about the possibilities that the coaching experience can create for people. I have a particular interest in supporting women in midlife, but also the teaching profession, NHS and other health professionals and young people. More recently I’ve had the privilege to coach young people via the charity Yes Futures, an amazing organisation on a mission to empower young people to believe in themselves and discover their personal potential.
I am also an Independent Consultant for Arbonne, which empowers people to flourish through sustainable, healthy living, through its nutrition and skincare products.
