If you want to be stronger, leaner and more confident, lose weight without restrictive dieting, and transform your mindset by building postive habits, I can help.
Be better than well®
To be better than well means working on your physical, nutritional, mental, spiritual and social fitness because whilst these things might feel distinct, they are all interconnected in many ways. Think of it like a virtuous, or vicious, circle:
In the virtuous circle, we feel happy and confident, and so we tend to make better choices in terms of our diet. Those choices have a positive impact on our physical health, which improves our mood, and encourages us to take more exercise. We feel good about ourselves, so we spend more time with friends and family.
In the vicious circle however, our mood is low, so we make poor choices in terms of what we eat. Those poor diet choices affect our physical health, which in turn effects our mood. We don’t feel good about ourselves, so we stop exercising or going out as much, so our relationships suffer.

Healthy Body
Regular exercise improves cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, bone health, and sleep. The resilience you build up from increased physical activity also helps you better tolerate both physical and mental stress.
We’ll explore functional fitness, cardio, strength training, flexibility and mobility, as I work with you one-on-one to create a bespoke personal training plan built around you, your lifestyle and your goals.

Balanced Nutrition
When you eat a healthy diet specific to your needs, you’ll feel more energised, less fatigued, and have more focus and better judgement. A healthy diet also supports healing and your immune system, and improves your mood.
I’ll give you back control of your diet, by providing a personalised, sustainable nutrition plan with clear guidance and advice to help you improve your relationship with food long term.

Strong Mind
Just like waves in the sea, life is unpredictable and can throw us off balance. What sets us apart is our ability to withstand and adapt to these changes and challenges, rather than trying to resist or control them.
I’ll support you to build positive habits that strengthen you mentally, spiritually and socially, not just as tools for navigating tough times, but also as indispensable skills for everyday living.

Small wins help achieve big goals
Habits equal success. Forget about the horizon itself. Focus on the one step you can take today, and the one you can take tomorrow. If you can do that, you’ll be amazed how far you can go. Just give it time.
Being patient can help with weight loss
Losing weight slowly and steadily, but maintaining that weight loss in the long term is better than losing weight and then regaining because you can’t maintain your eating and exercise habits.
Diet influences mood and behaviour
The intimate connection between food and the brain is a little bit like the fairytale of Goldilocks and the Three bears : we need not too little, not too much, but enough of each nutrient to get it just right.
