"This approach empowers people by starting with small changes that ultimately become transformative," she said.

During lockdown Alice has been busy developing her outdoor exercise area in the woodland at the bottom of her garden.

Clients can now enjoy High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Pilates classes on a purpose-built platform under the trees in a secluded rural setting outside West Haddon.

This summer she is opening up this area up further and collaborating with local health and wellness experts to provide an array of day retreats.

Alice said: "I'm hoping they will give people a timely respite after a difficult year."

On Sunday, July 25, Alice is co-hosting with Jenny-Ann Topham of Holistic Hands, a mindfulness coach, Reiki Master and sound therapist, for a day of 'Mindfulness and Sound Bathing under the Trees'.

Alice is co-hosting a Yoga and Wellbeing day with her all time favourite yogi Pamela Deal - owner of Pamela Deal Yoga, based in Long Buckby, on August 14.
