Posture and Poise was founded in August 2021 following the merger of Gemma Sizer Holistic Therapy and Kate Robbins Therapy. The merger allowed both businesses to expand their offerings, introducing services such as yoga and fitness. Following this, the business moved to larger premises at 36 Greenhill Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, where they opened a dedicated studio space. Today, this space hosts a wide range of wellness activities, including Yoga, Pilates, Meditation, Soundbaths, Retreats, and Art Classes.
In 2023, Rachel, a qualified Sports Massage Therapist, joined the team to strengthen the remedial treatment offerings. That same year, Posture and Poise was honored with the "Highly Recommended Award" from Fresha, after receiving over 1,000 five-star client reviews.
Building on this success, the business expanded in 2024, opening a second location in Brailes, Oxfordshire. Alongside this, they launched The Barn Wellbeing Retreat, a dedicated retreat company offering bespoke retreats for hen parties, corporate away days, and special events, as well as a diverse schedule of regular wellness retreats.
At the end of 2024, Posture and Poise was recognized for its outstanding client experience, winning the Customer Experience Award at the Stratford-upon-Avon Business Awards. In early 2025, the company was also featured in Woman’s Weekly magazine.
Looking ahead, the team plans to further grow The Barn and its retreat offerings while launching a dedicated holistic training company. This new venture will provide both online and in-person training for aspiring holistic therapists.
