Lucy Gardner - Shaftesbury personal trainer

About

My name is Lucy Gardner and I am the founder of Mustard Seed PT.

For over 14 years, I’ve worked in the health and wellbeing field, supporting people to build stronger, healthier lives—both physically and emotionally. As a Master Trainer, Therapeutic Coach, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping) Practitioner and a Therapeutic Massage Practitioner, I bring together physical training, therapeutic insight, and emotional awareness to create sustainable, whole-person change.

Throughout my years in fitness, I noticed something important: many people know what to do to improve their health, yet still struggle to do it and maintain it. It often is not a lack of discipline—but the deeper emotional and mental patterns that hold us back. That realisation led me to train in Therapeutic Coaching and EFT, allowing me to help clients uncover and address the stress, beliefs, and habits that can limit their potential.

My own journey hasn’t been without setbacks—injuries, burnout, and a lot of self-doubt included. I have learned through a combination of Therapeutic Coaching, EFT and movement how to break free from my inner critic and the noise in my head, to make changes that are meaningful to me, and letting go of negative self beliefs. If this resonates with you then get in touch to see how we can work together.

This is not about ‘quick fixes’ but about developing a curiosity and openness and seeing how together we can build a sustainable and healthy relationship with movement, food and yourself. You don’t need fixing. It is about freeing you to be more fully yourself!

If you are wondering why Mustard Seed, well I came into the world weighing just three pounds—small but full of potential, like a mustard seed. From that moment on, I’ve been defying the odds and discovering what is possible when you commit to growth and transformation. That same drive has taken me on adventures like racing to the Magnetic North Pole, driving from the UK to West Africa in a car from the 1980’s, and walking the Camino de Santiago. Each challenge taught me the value of resilience, self-belief, and perseverance—principles that underpin my approach to health and fitness today.
