Soul For Life
Preventative Health Through Movement
Too many people are reaching older age without the physical capacity to live independently. That is not inevitable.Soul for Life exists so that cost is never the reason someone misses out. We fund access to qualified movement programs in regional communities, so a class is free to the participant, regardless of income or circumstance.Our focus is regional NSW, where services are leaner and the health impact of inactivity, chronic disease, and isolation is greater.Soul for Life Ltd was incorporated in 2024. Governance is established, the delivery model is documented, and our first programs are designed and ready to activate. We are currently building the funding and partnership infrastructure to open the door.We are seeking grant partners, auspicing relationships, and aligned organisations who want to help make that happen.
What We Do
Soul for Life funds access to qualified movement programs already operating in regional communities, removing cost as the barrier between older adults and the classes that keep them independent, connected, and well.

Founder
Soul for Life was built from lived experience.After 20 years in senior roles at some of the world's largest technology companies, I left a corporate career and rebuilt my life through movement. I came to fitness late, navigated injury, and discovered firsthand what movement can restore: not just physical capacity, but confidence, connection, and independence.That experience shaped Soul for Life.I am a certified group fitness instructor and AUSactive registered professional, currently completing Polestar Pilates educator training.In 2026 I was nominated for AUSactive Student of the Year, named Vocational Student of the Year for Illawarra and South East NSW at the NSW Training Awards, and am a current state finalist.Soul for Life was built on a simple observation: exceptional practitioners are already changing lives in regional communities. What is missing is the funding infrastructure to keep the door open to everyone.Read my story — UOW College Australia
