About me

I have been Nordic walking since 2016.  I learnt through an exercise referral programme following cancer treatment.  I walked with a volunteer group, originally set up by the council, but as numbers declined I decided to train to be a Nordic Walking instructor myself, enabling more people to access Nordic walking and join the supportive group of ladies who Nordic walk with us.

What's on offer?

I currently volunteer to teach ladies who have had breast cancer to Nordic walk, in order to improve their overall health and help bring a good range of mobility and strength into their upper body.  This is a 4 week training programme (1 hour per week)

You can refer yourself to York Against Cancer to access this training if you have experienced Breast cancer.  After this 4 week programme, you are then able to join the volunteer Monday morning group to walk regularly, free of charge.  There is no obligation to join the group.

Other instructors offer training for people with different forms of cancer again through York Against Cancer.

You DO need to book and be assessed as fit to walk, through contact with me prior to starting the course of training.  Everybody would start on week 1 of a training course, so it is not possible for people to just drop in.  You are always welcome to stay for coffee from week 1 onwards, if you would like to.
