For Jana, movement has always been a way of life.
From an early age, sport played a central role in shaping who Jana is today. Beginning with ice hockey, Jana had the opportunity to represent Slovakia, an experience that built not only physical strength, but a deep sense of dedication, resilience and teamwork. These qualities continue to shape Jana’s approach to coaching, creating a supportive and motivating environment where people feel encouraged to move in a way that works for them.
Inspiring Confidence at Botanical Place
Now based at Botanical Place, Jana brings her passion for movement into Aluna, creating a dedicated space where residents and members feel energised, supported and confident. Her sessions are about more than fitness, they’re about helping people rediscover what their bodies can do, in a way that feels safe, uplifting and genuinely enjoyable.
With a natural ability to connect, Jana welcomes everyone into Aluna, whether they’re just starting out or looking to build on their routine. It’s this personalised, encouraging approach that helps people feel at ease, grow in confidence, and embrace movement as a positive and empowering part of their day.
Building Strength, Balance and Confidence
Each session focuses on improving strength, balance and mobility, key pillars for maintaining independence and overall wellbeing as we move through life. Jana takes a thoughtful, tailored approach, ensuring that every exercise feels purposeful, safe and suited to the individual, so people can progress at their own pace and build confidence over time.
But just as importantly, Jana believes fitness should feel enjoyable and accessible, rather than intimidating. It’s not about pushing limits or chasing perfection, but about creating a positive, supportive environment where people feel comfortable, encouraged and motivated to keep moving. Over time, those small steps lead to real, lasting progress — helping people feel stronger, more capable, and able to enjoy everyday life with greater ease.
Creating a Sense of Community
There’s a real sense of community in Jana’s sessions, where people come together, support one another and share in each other’s progress. It’s an environment that feels welcoming and uplifting, where every small step forward is recognised and celebrated.
At the heart of everything Jana does is a simple belief: exercise should empower. Through thoughtful, engaging coaching at Botanical Place, she helps people feel healthier, more confident, and more connected, not just to their movement, but to each other and the life around them.
