Co-Founder · Creator of the SOHMA Method

Ashley Wolfe-Elder

Ashley Wolfe-Elder co-founded SOHMA with a vision to redefine health as a lifelong journey rather than a short-term goal.

Drawing on more than 30 years of personal practice and professional experience in education, creativity, design and wellbeing, she developed an integrated approach that combines movement, recovery, mindfulness, nutrition and community.

As a teacher specialising in creativity, Ashley developed a deep understanding of how people learn, adapt and form lasting habits. Her career in interior design strengthened her belief that the environments we create can profoundly influence how we think, feel and live.

For more than three decades, Ashley has practised the principles she now shares through SOHMA—training consistently, nourishing her body with intention and prioritising habits that support lifelong strength, energy and resilience.

Her philosophy has also been shaped through years of working alongside strength coach James Griffiths, whose evidence-based approach reinforced her belief in intelligent movement and sustainable lifestyle choices.

Ashley created the SOHMA Method to help people make wellbeing a way of life rather than a temporary destination.

Co-Founder · Author, Speaker & Wellbeing Coach

Katey Lockwood

Katey Lockwood is an author, speaker and wellbeing entrepreneur whose work brings together philosophy, psychology, neuroscience and human behaviour.

As the creator of The Way and Find Your Power, Katey has inspired individuals and organisations to cultivate self-awareness, embrace personal growth and realise more of their potential.

Her evidence-informed approach combines insights from wellbeing science with practical tools that help people change the way they think, lead and live.

Katey’s friendship with Ashley, and the support they have shared through life’s many challenges, became one of the foundations of SOHMA. Together, they recognised that lasting wellbeing requires more than physical fitness. It depends equally on mental resilience, emotional balance and meaningful daily rituals.

As Co-Founder of SOHMA, Katey leads the mindfulness and wellbeing philosophy that underpins the SOHMA Method.

Through guided practices, immersive experiences, retreats and transformational coaching, she helps create a lifestyle where movement, mindfulness and connection work together to support long-term health and wellbeing.

SOHMA was born from two lifelong passions—one for building physical strength and longevity, the other for cultivating mental resilience and inner wellbeing. Together, we believe that true health is created when the body and mind work in harmony. Our mission is to help people live not only longer lives, but better ones.

What guides us

The values behindeverything we do.

These principles shape how SOHMA welcomes people, builds community and creates every experience.

  1. 01

    Seen as a whole person

    You are more than a goal, a number or a routine. Everything begins with respect for the whole of who you are.

  2. 02

    Supported, never pressured

    Wellbeing should add to life, not take it over. We believe encouragement carries people further than judgement.

  3. 03

    Strong in ways that last

    Real strength is physical, mental and emotional. It gives you more confidence for the life beyond these walls.

  4. 04

    At ease in the space

    The way a place feels matters. Warmth, beauty and calm can help people soften, connect and feel at home.

  5. 05

    Part of something

    Life is better with people beside you. SOHMA is a community built on good company, shared experience and belonging.
