Health Coaching
Health Coaching is a holistic approach to achieving complete health. In addition to considering nutrition and fitness goals, health coaching considers all aspects of your life in order to identify any other obstacles which may be preventing you from achieving complete health and well-being.
What is a Health Coach?
A Health Coach is a non-judgemental, supportive mentor and wellness authority who helps their clients to gain clarity on their goals and embrace positive food and lifestyle changes.
Health Coaches tailor individualized wellness programs to meet their clients' needs. As a Health Coach I support and empower my clients to take responsibility for their health, and provide them with the tools to achieve their self-directed wellness goals.
I will help you create a completely personalized 'roadmap to health' that suits your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and goals.
Your Six Month Health Coaching Programme
Your private Health Coaching programme consists of 12 sessions, precisely two per month, over the course of six months. Each session is approximately 60 minutes long and can be conducted in-person, online, or over the phone.
Over these six months we work together to create the goals you set into existence for yourself and your life. A six month programme allows for positive new habits to be learnt, and for these habits to become a sustainable and permanent feature of your life.
During our sessions we will determine what goals you want to achieve and formulate attainable action plans. I will support you by providing guidance, encouragement, and holding you accountable to your word. Since most of this program occurs outside of our sessions, namely your everyday life, the results are really up to you!
The content of our sessions will be guided by you and the areas of your life
that you want to positively change. In addition to your conversation-based
sessions, you can also choose to receive personalised cookery and fitness sessions with me at mine or your home.
You will also receive access to my online library of resources, which includes
a wealth of health material and worksheets, and over 70 hours of pre-
recorded Pilates, Yoga and Fitness sessions.
I am passionate about the power of Health Coaching. If you have tried short term diets or training programmes you will know that the impact is temporary; you return to previous behaviour and habits soon afterwards. The value of the six month programme is that it fosters a long-term behavioural change, the benefits of which last a lifetime.
Personal Training
Do you feel that a lack of confidence, motivation, injuries or a health condition holds you back from exercising?
Would you like to get fit but don't like the gym?
Would you like to be trained by someone who will support and encourage you every step of the way?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above then a Personal Training plan could be the ideal solution for you. For many people, embarking on an exercise programme is a daunting prospect. They know what they want but are unsure how to achieve it.
Personal Training outside of a gym environment provides you with a bespoke physical programme, designed to meet your specific needs and preferences, along with the expertise and guidance of a fitness professional. Furthermore, everything you need for your training is brought to you; in an environment that feels safe and comfortable, along with the support and encouragement you need to achieve your goals. I believe that good Personal Training goes beyond your physical training sessions, with nutritional guidance, goal setting and motivational coaching. I coach my clients to embrace a healthier diet, and hold them accountable for achieving the goals they set themselves outside of our training sessions.

Pilates & Yoga
Yoga and Pilates focus the mind and breath to powerfully strengthen the body, decrease tension, and lead to improved mobility, strength, balance and flexibility.
I teach a fusion of Modern Pilates, Classical Hatha, flowing Vinyasa Yoga, and Restorative Yoga; adapting and modifying exercises to meet the needs, physical abilities and experience of each individual client. For those who wish to discover the power of traditional Yoga, I also teach meditation and pranayama (breath work) and - where desired - will happily share spiritual insights from ancient Yoga texts and philosophy
