ABOUT LAURA & BAZ

We know the way back.We had to find it.

THE YEAR IT BROKE

2017

Laura burnt out so completely that she was catatonic for around weeks. We came close to losing the business.

She had built everything she set out to build. She just was not living any of it.

AND WHAT CAME BACK

That is the whole reason Ignite exists.

It was never a motivation problem. She had never been short of that. She'd become so busy building a life that she'd forgotten to live it.

THE TWO OF US

Two stories, one life.

Twenty-six years together, twenty-one of them married, and thirteen spent building Rock Solid Health side by side. Between us that is more than four decades of coaching and thousands of hours with people going through physical, mental and emotional change. Ignite was born from everything we've learned and experienced, distilled into one simple belief: life is for living, not just getting through.

Off duty
Still us

HOW WE GOT HERE

You should knowwho you’re trusting.

  1. TEN YEARS IN UNIFORM

    Kent Police.

    Laura joined Kent Police and spent a decade in the service, specialising in Counter Terrorism intelligence. She was medically retired after a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder and OCD, which ended that career and completely changed the direction of her life.

  2. THE BUSINESS THEY BUILT

    Rock Solid Health.

    They started Rock Solid Health thirteen years ago, after Laura’s own struggles, because they wanted to help people live healthier and happier lives. They have run it together ever since, supporting people through physical, mental and emotional change.

  3. THREE DECADES IN FITNESS

    The Prison Service.

    Baz has worked in health and fitness for as far back as he can remember, and spent over a decade in the Prison Service. Most of that was as a Physical Training Instructor, qualifying prisoners as personal trainers and sports therapists, before he headed up wellbeing for staff and inmates.

  4. WHY TIME MATTERS TO BAZ

    Keeping It Real.

    He lost his mum to pancreatic cancer just five weeks after her diagnosis, and his dad suddenly to heart failure. Those losses were a powerful reminder that tomorrow isn't guaranteed, and that life is something to be lived now, not someday.

WHY WORK WITH US

What you actually get.

Six things people tell us mattered, once they were on the other side of it.

  • We have been where you are.

    In 2017, Laura experienced severe burnout that left her unable to function for weeks. We don't just understand burnout professionally. We've lived it.

  • You get both of us.

    Twenty-six years together, thirteen of them running a health practice. Two people who already agree on how this works.

  • Four decades of coaching.

    Thousands of hours between them. Before that, a decade in Kent Police and over a decade in the Prison Service.

  • Nobody is judged here.

    Two things our clients tell us time and again: "You get it" and "I never feel judged." You can be completely yourself with us, without pretending everything is fine.

  • We will tell you if it is not us.

    If you need a sales system or a marketing system, we're not the right people for you, and we'll be honest about that.

  • Nothing starts with a payment.

    Everyone starts with a free call, and it is a conversation rather than a pitch. No intake dates, no waiting list.
