Fitness
After a back operation, putting on weight and not knowing what exercise I could and couldn’t do, I contacted Rachel.  After a consultation with my doctor, Rachel put together an exercise routine for me which was great.

Rachel is so down to earth and so supportive. I have been seeing her weekly for about a year now and my general physical and mental health has improved so much. I have a lot more energy and can cope with the stresses and strains of everyday life with a renewed vigour.

Rachel is always great fun - we have a laugh while we exercise and she's been a life coach along the way helping with nutrition tips, positive encouragement and hugs through quite a hard year for me.  I would recommend anyone who is thinking about having a personal trainer to go for it with Rachel.  You'll be amazed at the results.

I signed up to having weekly sessions with Rachel last summer 2006 and I haven't looked back.  I feel completely different to my previous self; more toned, stronger and fitter.  I look forward to my sessions with Rachel as her programmes are so varied and I never know what to expect.  My favourite exercise so far has to be boxing which I think worried my boyfriend at first!

I was fast approaching 40 and was fed up of owning two spare tyres – 1 in the car and the other around my middle!!  I don’t do gyms – they are places for guinea pigs who like other guinea pigs watching them sweat!!

There are times at the end of a long busy day that the thought of exercise is the last straw but I always feel better after a Rach session mentally as well as physically.

Nutrition
Rachel also advises on nutrition and helps you train your eating habits as well as your body! Having short term goals and regular sessions keeps me focused and on track.

The food diary showed up quite a few things I didn't realise before, such as that I always gave into sugary snacks mid-afternoon and I tend to eat far too many carbohydrates. Rachel's advice was very sensible and really just meant making a few minor amendments rather than a total overhaul.

The programme was full of the encouragement a weak willed person like I needed.

There was a target set, a diary to fill in for my daily intake and my record of activities.This helped and made me realize the link between the food and exercise and how I felt in body.  You feel you know most things but mostly you are kidding yourself and in denial.

The advice on the importance of good planning ahead,ie,holidays etc was very important and achievable.

I have lost about 18lbs and have gained a lot more energy and motivation to continue with more healthy eating habits and lifestyle. This has impacted so many areas in the way I feel about myself, my confidence etc

Lifestyle
Rachel’s enthusiasm & positive outlook make her ideally suited to be a life coach.  She is knowledgeable in many areas of health & fitness and has a holistic approach to whatever issues are being addressed. She is 100% committed to helping her client, is full of ideas, and most importantly, never gives up on you so you keep believing your goal is possible!
Clare, Reading

I enjoyed talking to someone who was impartial and a good listener. It was really useful to bounce ideas around and discuss possibilities. With humour, sensitivity and challenging questions, a life coach helps you to face the big questions and attempt to find some answers. The process is perhaps more important than the outcome...

My life has certainly improved since working with a life coach and I would recommend it to anyone who feels that they have lost direction in their life, or needs help to focus on what to do next.
JG, Twyford

Rachel works hard to support your current goals and has been invaluable at different times with preparing me for skiing holidays, long sponsored walks and the like with the appropriate exercises, tips and advice.
Jane, Burghfield Common

The coaching programme has been useful, even though the advice suggested is so obvious, sometimes it needs someone to tell you to do it!
IH, Tesco

I really enjoyed the coaching programme and felt as if I’d known Rachel for years.  She has been a good ear to listen to and has given some great advice.  I recommend all employees do the coaching programme!
