Health Coaching Programme
The health coaching programme that I followed with Annabel proved to be very helpful at the start of an ongoing journey towards improving health and fitness. Annabel's professional, friendly approach and carefully structured sessions were informative and supported individual needs very well. Your assistance made a real difference ... many thanks Annabel.
Support when I needed it most
I've been living with cancer for a year now, and received a worsening diagnosis just before lockdown. The knowledge that there will be no further medical input for an indeterminate period has been tough. Annabel has helped me make dietary changes which have enhanced my general health and stamina, and shown me that I have the strength to get through this difficult time. I can thoroughly recommend Annabel's gentle support to anyone living with an ongoing medical condition which robs them of their resolve to move to a healthier lifestyle. She has encouraged me to clarify my priorities and to helped me to develop a life plan which I know will be both achievable and beneficial.

Empowering, empathic, excellent!
Annabel helped me make some really important shifts with some issues that had been holding me back for a long time (emotional eating, self-sabotage, procrastination, low-self worth etc). She nurtured me throughout the process and gave me gentle nudges or challenges when appropriate, which really helped me identify some of my unhelpful patterns of behaviour...and to move on without them! Triumph! Her wealth of experience is huge but she has a lovely lightness to her, which makes it very easy to talk to her about anything. I would recommend Annabel in a heartbeat...her wisdom, compassion and no-nonsense approach allowed me to take charge of areas of my life I thought I'd written off. Thank you.

Health and wellbeing coaching
I worked with Annabel on and off over a couple of years and had a great experience that really helped me move forward in a constructive manner. Annabel has a wealth of experience and knowledge that she used to support my achievement of goals that were not as simple as they might have sounded! I found Annabel to be friendly and supportive whilst challenging me to think differently at times which was exactly what I needed. With Annabel's friendly encouragement, I understand and view my health more holistically, and have some great recipes I still come back to as an added bonus!

Yeah, she's good
Well worth working with Annabel. She's empowering, and the right level of challenging - and we also get to laugh sometimes, which is great. Much progress has been made. Thanks, Annabel.

Supportive & Caring Health Coach
Annabel is a fabulous health coach. She listens, she supports, and she challenges you to do your best and not give up -- even when making changes is difficult. With her support I was able to make some shifts around what I was eating (like cutting out sugar). If you're looking for someone who is caring, supportive, and encouraging, Annabel is fantastic!

PCOS Weight management
I have had PCOS for many years but since having kids have not been able to lose any weight and all the time my weight has been gradually going up. However, I would try dieting and it would never work and I would get really upset and depressed. Annabel helped me break the cycle of feeling I had to be on a diet, it was really freeing. I have never been on a diet since I watch what I eat carefully and try and be as healthy as I can. I feel no guilt anymore which is amazing. I still have weight problems and I don't think that will ever go away, however, I am now focusing my attention on getting fit, I have a trainer who is helping me to do my first 5K and I plan just to keep doing more all the time. I feel so much more positive than I have in a long time and its all stems back to having sessions with Annabel, I am hugely grateful to her for giving me the time to talk things through and I think she does an amazing job in helping women with PCOS as its hard to live with.

Clear caring support
I can thoroughly recommend working with Annabel. She really listens to you and clearly guides you to your goal/s. I felt supported through out our journey. She is also gentle but firm when you need a bit more of a push.

Life changing support
I've worked with Annabel for a while now, at first intensely and now in a more 'checking in' way - it has been life changing! When I met Annabel I was stuck in a mire of self-hatred, body dysmorphia and sugar addiction, with Annabel's incredible support I have slowly broken down the barriers that were holding me back from trusting myself and loving my body. Annabel's style of non-judgemental, compassionate listening balanced with accountability and goal-setting has been a real eye-opener. It has helped me understand that I can help myself, I am good enough and I am worth it. It has been tough - Annabel never sugar-coated anything - but she never stopped believing that I have the resources to make the changes. I can't thank Annabel enough for the clarity she has brought to large areas of my life. I can honestly say that I respect and listen to my body now in a way I would have never felt possible. I also am no longer afraid of food - a gamechanger for me! Thank you Annabel!
