First Timer 1:1 with Julie😃

22nd July 2026

This morning Julie kindly came to meet me at Bolam Lake for a 1:1 first session of Nordic walking.

I need to get fit and be more active and heard about Nordic Walking some time ago on the BBC radio 4 programme with the late Dr Michael Mosely. It has been in the background of my mind for a while, but now, I am making time for myself and today was the start!

What a fantastic, informative and fun session it was.

Julie settled my nerves and really put me at ease as she taught me the fundamentals of Nordic Walking, helping my to find a rhythm and technique.

I was on a positive high afterwards!

I know that this is just what I want to add to my life and I look forward to future walks with Julie and others around the region.

I was very impressed with Julie. She is a kind person and natural teacher and her passion shines through and is infectious!

I will be Nordic Walking on my own until I join an adventure with Julie and others on the next group walk. I very much look forward to that.

Thanks so much Julie. x

Thank you

Good morning Julie

We have just returned from a weeks break away with the family. Holly took her collapsible poles with her which she used every day. And walked faster and more confidently and more importantly with no falls.

This has been quite life changing for her and us. She’s needed our physical support less, and become so much more confident.

She doesn’t use them using the correct technique, but her own style seems to work.

Thank you so much for your massive contribution to her wellbeing.

Julie gave an informative talk on Nordic Walking to our members on Saturday 21st March 2026 at St Oswalds Hospice in Gosforth.

Julie described not only the physical benefits of this exercise but the positive effect it can have on your wellbeing. Julie also demonstrated how to Nordic Walk with some members picking up poles and taking part.

Julie’s passion for Nordic Walking was evident throughout and we look forward to arranging a walk with Julie as soon as a date can be agreed.
