Meet The Founders

A Note From Us

Thank you for visiting Mind Body and Soles and for taking the time to learn more about the people behind the brand.

We are proud to be building a business centred on confidence, movement and wellbeing. We are equally proud to be building it as a husband-and-wife team, supported by our family and inspired by the women who become part of the Mind Body and Soles community.

The brand will continue to grow, but its purpose will remain the same: to help women feel supported, believe in their own strength and move through life with greater confidence.

Move Freely. Feel Unstoppable. Become Your Strongest Self.

Russell and Sophie

Founders, Mind Body and Soles

Mind Body and Soles was created by us, Russell and Sophie — a husband-and-wife team with a shared belief that activewear should do more than simply look good. It should help women feel comfortable, confident and ready to move through life in their own way.

We are also parents to two boys and proud owners of Lottie, our much-loved family dog. Like many families, our days are busy, imperfect and constantly moving. That real-life experience has shaped the kind of brand we want Mind Body and Soles to be: encouraging, relatable and genuinely supportive.

We understand that movement does not always mean an intense workout. It can be a walk with the dog, a quiet stretch, time spent outdoors, a fresh start after a difficult week or simply choosing to do something positive for yourself.

Wellbeing at the Heart of Our Story

Sophie brings more than 15 years of experience in health and wellbeing to Mind Body and Soles through her work as a reflexologist and aromatherapist.

Throughout that time, she has supported women in making space for rest, balance and self-care. She has seen first-hand how confidence, movement, recovery and emotional wellbeing can all influence the way we feel.

That experience sits at the heart of our brand.

We believe that feeling strong is not only about physical performance. Strength can also be found in slowing down when you need to, protecting your wellbeing, rebuilding your confidence and learning to appreciate your own journey without comparing it with somebody else’s.

Why We Created Mind Body and Soles

We wanted to create something more personal than a typical activewear store.

Mind Body and Soles brings together activewear selected for real women and real life. Our collections are designed to support everything from gym training and studio movement to outdoor walks, busy family days, travelling and relaxed everyday wear.

Every piece is designed with comfort, confidence, versatility, quality and value in mind. We want the clothing you wear to help you feel supported and capable, whatever your day looks like.

For us, the brand has always been about more than the products themselves. It is about how you feel when you put them on — comfortable in yourself, confident in your movement and ready for whatever comes next.

Quality That Feels Within Reach

We believe women should not have to choose between activewear that feels good, performs well and remains affordable.

That is why we focus on carefully selected pieces that offer a strong balance of comfort, quality, fit and value. Our aim is to make premium-feeling activewear more accessible, without unnecessary mark-ups or compromising on the details that matter.

From supportive waistbands and flattering fits to versatile fabrics and thoughtful finishes, every product is chosen to help you feel confident in what you wear and comfortable in what you spend.

For us, affordable quality means creating activewear you can rely on, enjoy wearing and return to again and again.

Strength Looks Different on Every Woman

There is no single way to be strong.

Strength can be found in completing a challenging workout, beginning again after a setback, taking time for your wellbeing or simply showing up on a day when everything feels difficult.

Your strongest self does not have to look like somebody else’s.

That belief shapes everything we do, from the activewear collections we build to the encouragement, personal stories and practical support we share through our Stronger Self Journal.

We want Mind Body and Soles to be a place where women feel inspired without pressure, supported without judgement and encouraged to move forward at their own pace.

The Family Behind the Brand

Mind Body and Soles is a family-led business built around everyday life with our two boys and Lottie the cockapoo.

Our family reminds us that wellbeing has to work in the real world. It has to fit around responsibilities, changing routines, difficult days and all the unexpected moments in between.

That is why we believe activewear should feel just as comfortable on a family walk or school run as it does during a workout. It should move with you, support you and make it easier to feel like yourself.

We are building Mind Body and Soles together, with care, purpose and a genuine commitment to creating a brand that women can connect with and trust.
