Restore strength, stability, and range of motion so you can get rid of aches, pains and stiffness and stay active, and pain-free for years to come.

If you’re over 40 and your body feels like it’s slowly falling apart, there’s a reason:

Your oestrogen levels are dropping. And that changes everything.

Suddenly, the things that used to work for you? Don’t.

The good news?

You don’t have to “accept it’s your age" or stop doing the things you love.

I can help you to rapidly rebuild strength, stability and flexibility so you can hike, lift, stretch, swim (hell, even ski) without pain, stiffness or injuring yourself

This is your Second Act - and I’ll help you enter it stronger, fitter, more flexible… and able to do the things you love again, without your body holding you back.

"Before working with Johdi I was moving like a 90 year-old (even though I’m just in my 60s) 

I hardly dared move at all -  I was afraid to bend down to get things off the floor, afraid to lift anything, or twist, I was constantly scared that my back would spasm again and leave me in pain for days on end.   

I’d tried to heal my back pain for so long that I’d actually given up hope it could ever get better - and because I was being so ultra-cautious and not moving, it wasn’t just not healing, it was getting more and more stiff and sore and I was able to do less and less. 

Not only was Johdi the first person (after trying absolutely everything) to finally heal my back pain with her magic techniques, she also encouraged me to move safely again. 

She gave me back my confidence in my body's ability to bend, twist and move freely. I never thought I could be completely pain free like this again, her methods are astonishing.  I feel so much better. I feel younger and confident to do things I hadn’t done in years, like walking on snow.  And I know how to keep my spine mobile to keep things feeling this good for years to come."

This Is An Urgent Call Out If You’re Over 40 And Feel Stiffer Than You Used To:

Because This Is the Part Where Sh*t Gets Real, Fast

You used to push through. You bounced back. But now? 

- Aches that don’t go away
- Sleep that won’t settle
- Strength and energy in slow decline
- Joints stiffening like concrete
- Slower recovery
- Creeping weight gain

It feels like a slow fade into fragility.

I’m not here to scare you. I’m here to get you AHEAD of what’s coming.

Because this is all fixable - if we act now.

If you're ready for a game-changing full body reset that keeps you strong and capable as long as humanly possible - this is where it starts.

“I Used to Be So Active. Now I’m Not Even Sure What My Body Can Handle.”

Maybe you used to swim, ski, hike, or do yoga but…

- Now your knees scream on stairs
- Your shoulder twinges just reaching up
- Your hip locks after walking or driving
- You leak when you sneeze
- Your neck is stiff 24/7

So you move less. Or move carefully. Or stop moving certain parts of you altogether - and that’s when the real trouble sets in.

You want to stay active. But every step comes with doubt. Pain. Hesitation.

Let’s change that starting today:

"I‘ve been in pain for over 20 years and I‘ve tried all sorts of therapies. With little or no result.

With Johdi‘s unique approach, I‘ve been able to reduce the pain significantly. Now I can go for hikes again, I dance and I go swimming three times a week. All of this had not been possible before. With the work we’re doing together I am looking forward to having no pain at all. If anyone can bring me there, then it‘s Johdi.

Thanks Johdi, for all your work and for showing me what my body is still capable of."

This is What Nobody Has Told You:

Joint stiffness and muscle loss are symptoms of menopause.

As your hormones shift, you’re losing muscle mass, connective tissue is becoming less efficient, and elasticity is decreasing — while you’re gaining fat in all the wrong places.

But muscle tone is your best protection against injury, inflammation, and immobility - which means if we don’t strengthen and rebuild your body now, stiffness, weakness, exclusion, even cognitive decline…become inevitable

Getting fitter with yoga, Pilates or a Personal Trainer who doesn’t understand your midlife body is how injuries happen - because without rebuilding core strength and joint stability first, it’s like building a house with no foundation.

And chiro and physios treat the pain where it shows up, but they don’t fix the root cause so you keep chasing symptoms instead of rebuilding the foundational strength that stops these aches and pains in the first place.

There Are 3 Core Fixes Your Body Needs Now, To Restore Full Mobility and Eliminate Pain and Stiffness

 

 1. Mobility That Frees You

You’re stiff because your body is losing range and locking up to protect itself. That makes movement harder, which leads to more stiffness. We break the cycle very, very rapidly. 

We restore joint movement in every direction your body was meant to move through custom, progressive exercises. Once mobility is back, we teach you how to keep it.  This happens within 4- 6 sessions and you’ll notice a huge improvement in your range of motion, and you’ll notice you’re much less stiff and sore when you rise out of bed, even after a full day of activity.

Like Gillian — who came to me limping post-surgery, and within 3 months had full mobility back in her hips, knees, and neck. Now she’s busy doing long sponsored charity walks with ease.

2. Strength That Doesn't Hurt

You’re being told to lift weights, do yoga or Pilates. But most classes (and most Personal Trainers) are giving you movements that hurt your body more.

You need strength, but you need it built from the ground up with proper alignment, joint prep, and core engagement.

Like Christine - a yoga teacher who was wrecking her hips through her practice. She was convinced her body needed flexibility, because she FEELS stiff, but she was just aggravating her body with yoga, by not building functional strength first  - now she’s moving very differently, knows how she should be moving to avoid aggravating her fragile spots and feels far more strong and flexible - and confident that she’s not damaging herself

3. Mobility Consistency That Sticks

Most women show up overwhelmed and juggling a million "wellness" things. It’s too much. Too confusing. And totally unsustainable.

We simplify it. Strip it back. Create clear, tailored routines that fit into YOUR real life, even on low-energy days.

You don’t need motivation. You need rhythm, structure, and a system that actually works for your body and schedule.

This is how we lock in long-term change that keeps you supple and moving long after our work together is finished

Like Jennifer who before she came to see me, was told she needed a hip replacement. No hiking. No tennis.  After 4 months working together, she’s off the surgeon’s list - and back on the trails and feels stronger than ever.

What Makes This Different from Anything Else You’ve Tried

 

Personal Training

  • Starts with "get fit" goals
  • Generic plans
  • Reacts to pain
  • Pushes hard early
  • Feel like you’re making progress and getting fit, but injuries are common and set you back months - or you feel so achy and sore from classes that you start to skip sessions and lose momentum.

 

 

Second Act Body Reset

  • Starts by rebuilding foundational movement
  • Custom-fit to your stage, joints, posture, and needs
  • Prevents pain by retraining movement patterns
  • Strength comes once you're ready, safely
  • Build solid foundational core strength over 6 months, increase joint mobility and flexibility, remove pain by restoring proper movement, build fitness, strength, flexibility and supple-ness so you feel better in your body than you did 10 years ago and can do ALL the fit and active things you thought you’d have to give up.

Hi, I'm Johdi Woodford

 

I help women 40+ reclaim their strength, mobility, and energy — especially when they feel like nothing’s working and no one’s listening.

I’m a therapeutic practitioner with deep training in movement science and anatomy. I’ve rebuilt my own body from chronic pain, multiple surgeries, and a full hysterectomy. And I’ve helped hundreds of women do the same.

No fluff. No one-size-fits-all. Just results.

For real women in their Second Act.

✅ Total honesty on how long it will take, what level of improvements you can expect, what you can do on your own, and where I can help most

What Happens Next

After we’ve completed your full body assessment and mapped out a plan to get you moving in your body again, there are two ways to work with me:

PHASE 1: We Restore Your Movement and Eliminate any Pain

We get rid of the stiffness and soreness that’s keeping you from moving effectively and get you fully mobile - safely - again, which means you can get back to doing things you love but had become scared to do: regular hikes with friends, join the family on the slopes or get back to strength-training or pilates.  (10x60 minute sessions over 6 months, CHF 375/month)

 
PHASE 2: Build Endurance, Strength and Balance To Protect From Injury

Some of my clients are delighted with the results from Phase 1, and take it alone from there.  Others want the next level of results - weight-loss, strength and endurance building, balance and coordination and to enjoy a body that feels safe and dependable as it gets stronger, fitter and more toned. 20 Sessions Over 12 Months CHF 335/month 

You can decide which is right for you once we have your full body diagnostic and full details of what restoring full movement looks like for you

 

 

Listen, This Is the Moment It Either Gets Worse... or Finally Gets Better.

 

So many of my clients come to me with additional conditions or complications - they’ve often had a diagnosis, they’ve put a name to their pain or declining physical health, or they’ve been told it’s “just stress”. 

And they’ve been led to believe there’s nothing much to be done - that “this is how it is now”.  There’s an astonishing lack of empathy from the medical community and they assume they just need to slow down - but that’s absolute crap.

You can - and should - absolutely expect your body to still be able to do all the things you love - even if you’ve got additional complications and diagnoses; it doesn’t need to change that.  

I should know - after years of living with chronic pain, multiple surgeries, spinal complications, clinical depression, endometriosis, and a full hysterectomy - I had no choice but to rebuild my health from the ground up.

I achieve incredible results with my clients - clients who, before they saw me had tried EVERYTHING and had started to lose hope that they could ever feel better in their body

Client Results Include

  • Completely eliminating pain from serious injuries, within weeks
  • Restoring movement and mobility in the hip joint, so they no longer needed surgery
  • Achieving a level of strength and fitness that means she’s dancing at Black Eyed Peas Concerts in her 60s even though she used to go to sleep in a neck brace and was terrified of movement of any kind.
  • Swimming 20 lengths of an Olympic size pool even though she was unable to lift her arm due to her shoulder being so painful previously (frozen shoulder is a common peri-menopause symptom that I can resolve for you)

But if you don’t act now, this only gets harder:

  • Strength fades
  • Pain deepens
  • Movement becomes a memory

When you take the first step - you reclaim control.

✅ Eliminate pain and stiffness
✅ Rebuild strength and flexibility
✅ Finally feel at home in your body again

The longer you wait, the more you lose. But if you act now? You get to rewrite what aging looks and feels like.
