Integrated Mind–Body Support with Karen Porter
My private 1–1 work is distinct from group classes and studio programmes.
This is slow, intentional, practitioner-led work designed to support physical strength, emotional regulation, and nervous system resilience.
It is for women who want depth — not quick fixes.
What This Work Is?
In 1–1 settings, I work at the intersection of:
-
Therapeutic, Pilates-informed strength
-
Trauma-informed coaching
-
Breathwork and fascial release
-
Nervous system regulation
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we work with the whole system — body, mind, and lived experience — allowing change to happen in a way that feels safe, sustainable, and lasting.
how this feels:
Clients often describe this work as:
-
Calm and grounding
-
Clarifying rather than overwhelming
-
Strengthening without pressure
-
Different from anything they’ve tried before
We move at your pace. We listen to your body. We work with what’s present — not against it.
Who This Is For?
Private 1–1 work is suited to people who:
-
Feel disconnected from their bodies or overwhelmed by stress
-
Want strength without harsh fitness culture
-
Sense that emotion or stress is held physically
-
Are navigating change, burnout, or transition
-
Want intelligent support that meets them where they are
You don’t need to be “fit”, flexible, or experienced. You do need to be open to working with your body as part of the process.
why this work is different?
I run a full studio programme of classes at LifeWorks. My private work is different. In 1–1 settings, I work slowly and deeply, bringing together my full training and experience. This is where physical strength meets emotional safety — and where real, sustainable change happens.

We’ll begin with a conversation — not a commitment — and explore what would feel most supportive for you right now.

About karen porter
Founder of LifeWorks Studio & Practitioner of Integrated Mind–Body Work
I’m Karen Porter, founder of LifeWorks Studio. For over two decades, I’ve worked with thousands
of clients through movement, coaching, and one-to-one support, helping people feel stronger — not
just physically, but emotionally and mentally too.
My work is shaped by extensive training in Pilates, strength, coaching, breathwork, and fascial
release, alongside deep experience in understanding how stress, trauma, and life experiences affect
the nervous system and the body. I also bring my own lived experience — of change, challenge, and
rebuilding — which allows me to meet clients with empathy, insight, and clarity.
LifeWorks is the result of everything I’ve learned: a calm, intelligent approach to strength and
healing that supports real, lasting change.
