Lift Her
Helping women rise – on and off the pole.
(Where she rises, we rise too)
Lift Her is a community-driven initiative offering free pole and aerial fitness classes to women and individuals in need — including those facing hardship, trauma, or financial barriers.
We believe in the healing power of movement, the strength of sisterhood, and the right to feel empowered — no matter your circumstances. Through strength, stillness, and support, we rise together.
Giving Back With Purpose
We proudly give back 25% of our time by offering free community pole and aerial sessions.
These sessions are designed for women rebuilding after:
-
Postnatal depression or anxiety
-
Eating disorders
-
Emotional or domestic abuse
-
Life-altering events or financial hardship
This is a non-judgemental, supportive space to gently reconnect with your body, rebuild confidence, and feel part of a community.
Why We Do This
-
Because movement heals.
-
Because confidence is a right, not a luxury.
-
Because every woman deserves a space to rise — without shame, pressure, or fear.
-
Lift Her exists to hold space for women reclaiming their power — one class at a time.

Meet The Founder
Hi, I’m Samilou — the heart behind Lift Her. I’m a pole instructor, a creative soul, and a homeschooling mum of three.
I started Lift Her because I know how much women carry, and how little space we’re often given to heal and grow. This project is a way to offer that space — private, supportive, and real.
Between raising my kids and running a studio, life is full — but I believe in making time for what matters. And for me, that’s helping women feel strong, seen, and supported.
