Pole Soul was quite literally born because my boobs escaped during a pole session.

Back in 2020, during the pandemic, I’d just finished an at-home pole session and decided to take a few photos of some new moves I’d finally mastered — because let’s be honest, did it really happen if you didn’t get a photo?

When I looked back through them, two of my favourite shots had one small problem…

The girls had escaped. 😂

That was the moment I started looking into creating polewear of my own — pieces designed with pole dancers in mind, where looking amazing doesn’t have to mean worrying about whether everything is going to stay where it should.

Around the same time, I’d also run out of my favourite gym chalk.

The lady who supplied it to my local pole studio had stopped selling it. One sunday whilst talking to my boyfriend, he suggested I stock the grip myself. This sent me down another rabbit hole researching pole grip, liquid chalk and all the different products available.

Somewhere between the escaping boobs and the missing chalk, and with a lot of support from my amazing boyfrend...

Pole Soul was born. 🖤

As a pole dancer myself, I understand that we don’t all need the same thing.

Our skin is different.
Our training is different.
Some of us need something super grippy, while others need a little help without feeling completely glued to the pole.

That’s why I’ve spent years curating a range of pole grips and chalks for different skin types, training styles and preferences, alongside polewear designed with movement, security and confidence in mind.

And then came the gifts.

I absolutely love buying personalised gifts for people, but finding genuinely good pole-related presents for my pole friends used to be almost impossible.

So I created our bespoke Pole Soul gift range, including pieces you won’t find anywhere else.

My love language has always been gifts, and I love the idea of giving someone something that says:

“I know you. I know what you love. And I thought of you.”

Almost six years later, Pole Soul is still here — and still growing.

Everything you find at Pole Soul has either been made, selected or curated by a pole dancer, with other pole dancers in mind.

And every order genuinely means something.

You’re not buying from a huge faceless company. You’re supporting a small independent business and, since February 2026, you’re also helping me support my little family while I continue building Pole Soul. 🖤
