Hi, my name is Kieran with a passion for helping the community regain mobility and improve their quality of life, I have always been interested in joint pain management and rehabilitation and started my career at Nuffield Health. Combining my clinical expertise with a compassionate approach, I work closely with individuals suffering from arthritis, sports injuries, and post-surgical joint pain to develop personalised treatment plans that promote long-term healing and pain relief. With this experience, I am excited to support the participants of the Healthy Worcestershire Groups in achieving their wellness goals.

Spencer – Wellbeing Coach
Hi, I am Spencer, and proud to be a Wellbeing Coach for Healthy Worcestershire. I was brought onboard for this exciting new project, as I am enthusiastic about community building, movement for improvement, hearing and sharing stories of people’s lives. I have had the privilege to teach and lead health and wellbeing classes and seminars whilst travelling the world on cruise ships.
For 10 years I ran my own business called “faith within fitness”. The ethos and Values run side by side with Healthy Worcestershire. The ethos to my fitness community was, “Be Inspired, Transform, Inspire Others,” which I still believe and live that ethos today.
I am a family man, married and have a young son. Our family time is spent looking for adventures daily, running, playing on parks (even adults need to play!) and having picnics. My personal time is reading for personal growth, and chilling in my ice plunge every day.
Martyna – Project Support Officer
I’m a Project Support Officer for the Healthy Worcestershire Project. I have a great passion for all things wellbeing and fitness; my background is in nutrition – I completed a Human Nutrition degree at the University of Worcester. Outside of work I’m a self-proclaimed crazy cat lady and a lover of a good cup of coffee. BSc (Hons) Human Nutrition (University of Worcester) and Registered Associate Nutritionist (Association for Nutrition).
What I love most about being part of the Healthy Worcestershire Programme is seeing people becoming healthier and happier week by week.

It’s truly rewarding to work alongside such talented individuals who inspire me to grow both personally and professionally every day.
Saru – Wellbeing Coach
After almost two decades as a Consultant Anaesthetist, I began to realize that medicine alone wasn’t enough. Drawn to yoga for its inner peace, I transitioned to teaching after completing my training as a Master Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Reiki healer, and Sound Practitioner.
As a full-time yogi, I specialize in chair yoga for seniors and those with health issues, tailoring hatha yoga practices with my medical background. My sessions focus on empowering the subconscious to foster lasting changes in diet, posture, attitude, and life priorities. I believe we are often overwhelmed by excessive mental noise and insufficient body movement. My mantra for well-being is,
“Keep progressing like a river, for a pond may collect filth!”
Being part of the community, I felt the need for a non-profit well-being platform that could address these needs with integrity—whether it’s movement, nourishment, or lifestyle choices that impact our daily lives. I love the concept and execution of Healthy Worcestershire, where well-being is managed holistically. The sessions are designed to be simple yet effective, accommodating all abilities. I feel blessed to be part of this beautiful platform, look forward to it every day, and return feeling more inspired and joyful.
