About Laura

A long distance runner and Pilates teacher, founder Laura Peill has been involved in the wellness space - movement, nutrition, mindset and self-growth - for over 15 years. What started as a school project to try running for 30 days, has morphed into a life long pursuit of helping others learn how to show up better for themselves, maintaining consistency behind their movement and mindset routines.

In 2024, Laura ran a 2:55:32 at the Berlin Marathon, taking almost an hour off of her original marathon time. This, along with her personal experience and education in the movement and exercise field, solidified her desire to work more intuitively with runners, setting out to offer run coaching and training programs tailored to individuals looking to improve performance or overcome injuries. Much of this comes to fruition in her Pilates studio where she works one on one with individuals looking to build injury resilience, overcome current injuries or pain, and develop mental strength. Laura takes a modern, evidence-based approach to Pilates, using Joseph Pilates' original principles, and building on them with the up-to-date body of literature surrounding movement, exercises, pain and rehabilitation.

Today, Laura is completing her Master's in Physiotherapy, an adjunct to her degree in Human Movement and Psychology. Coupled with her qualification as a nutritionist, Laura will continue to bring a holistic, well-rounded perspective to everyone she gets to work with, fostering invidivual growth, while offering the tools and encouragement to empower indivudals to show up for themselves and their goals.

About Movement Mode

Movement Mode is an all encompassing concept, which incorporates movement, mental training and lifetyle changes. The idea was born through seeing a disconnect between knowledge and action; this ubiquitous "I don't have any motivation" concept that Laura heard come up repeatedly in the studio, the derailing driver behind individuals' success and commitment forward. The thing that meant they couldn't get in the mode for movement. At the root of this wasn't a motivation issue at all, but an inability for individuals to stay committed and accountable to themselves, failing to show up for what they said they were going to do.

This is the space where you learn how to show up for yoruself. Starting with addressing mental and mindset hurdles, to learning how to adopt habits and thought patterns that facilitate and encourage success. Onwards to finding a type of movement you enjoy and then  learning how to continue to integrate movement into a life, and stay mentally resilient and strong to continue showing up. 

Committed to helping you show up to chase what you want, here's what that can look like:

• Run coaching services and training plans for long distance athletes - from beginner to semi-elite - with embedded education around time management, and training schedule flexibility. 

• Pilates studio offering online and in-person sessions focusing on injury and mental resilience, and movement for mindset

• Mental training and mindset focused sessions on how to get out of a training rut, do hard things, and courageously continue to move forward after setbacks

Movement Mode is about helping you get in the mode. Whether you need education, resources, accountability or just a starting point, this is the place for you.
