“I feel so very passionately about changing the narrative around bodies, and instead celebrating women by cheering them on. ” - Roxy, LR HQ Caster
A Female Body Caster trained by Lydia Reeves, based in Brighton, UK.
Having worked for Lydia as a casting and production assistant since the start of 2024, I was so excited when the opportunity came up to become a fully fledged caster myself!
Sooooo, I thought I would introduce myself a little bit, from my own journey with my body, to becoming a sexuality coach and fully trained body caster, helping people see themselves as they should… Like a piece of art!
Hi, I’m Roxy…
My journey into casting
I started out as an actress-turned-sexuality coach, in a weird roundabout journey that included Lydia’s influence (ask me in your session!). Alongside my coaching work, I began my time at LR HQ.
Being in sessions alongside Lydia truly wowed me, even though I’d already had a session myself! Being able to speak to, relate with, and honour so many incredible people in such a welcoming, safe space made my heart feel whole. I knew I wanted to be as much a part of it as I possibly could be.
I’m an 80s/90s child; I come from the generation of zero body hair, airbrushed photos, and drawing shame circles around celebrities’ bodies in magazines. I was taught to hate on myself…until I finally reached a point of “F**K THAT!” I deserve love, pleasure, and to enjoy myself and my body.
Why This Work Matters
I’ve always loved being creative, and being able to work hands-on in an environment that prioritises diversity, acceptance, and healing is such a joy. Being able to hold space for women in this way, feels like the most beautiful culmination of my work as a Sexuality Coach and my work at LR HQ.
I’ve had such a long (and, in all honesty, ongoing) journey with my own body and how it’s been perceived by friends, family, lovers, and even strangers. I feel incredibly passionate about challenging the beliefs we absorb from negative stereotypes and harmful messaging, and instead celebrating women and cheering them on.
Casting is my little rebellious act. My way of being part of something completely removed from what I was taught to believe. It’s an incredible creative outlet, and it’s continuously inspiring to meet so many people who are on their own journey of self-acceptance. It means the world to me.
