About Us

Hello. 
My name is Rachel Mahoney. I have been a qualified nurse and midwife for the last 6 years. I found my love of Pilates 4 years ago when I tried my first ever Pilates class. I found it was great while working a very intense job, and for relieving stress after COVID. It was the first time I felt I really could switch off and just enjoy being present in the class. I decided that when I started my teacher training at the start of 2025, I would love to develop my own grip sock business that represented me and my personality. Being in the healthcare sector, setting up my own business seemed like an impossible task. This is where my partner Dan comes in with a vast business background. He is co-owner and has really helped to bring my vision to life. 

This is where grounded began.

I wanted Grounded to really summarise the love and joy I feel when I do Pilates. I wanted to create socks that were fun to wear and of the highest quality to make people happy while doing Pilates. We hope you enjoy wearing them as much as we enjoyed creating them.
