Principles matter.
Coaching isn’t a “drop two stone in four weeks” programme... because that’s not what real, lasting change is built on. It's based on understanding you, your life, your habits, beliefs, barriers, and the reasons things haven’t worked in the past.
Results also matter, of course, but if you don't understand the "why" behind your choices then real long lasting change won't happen, and if they do happen initially then people often struggle to make them last.
A plan alone won’t change your life coaching does. We look at your routines, stress, energy, mindset,
Understanding the patterns you’ve repeated for years, and why you get stuck.
Learn how to move forward.
1. Understand yourself
Self awareness first
You cannot mould your life around a programme, we build around your life. Kids, work, hormones, ageing, energy.
A plan is personalised so it feels achievable to you, on a long term basis and never overwhelming.
Remember, all of it matters.
2. Life first, then train
Life-led coaching
Bodies change as we age, hormones rise & fall, stress hits differently and recovery matters.
I don't do shame, no “try harder,” no outdated fitness messaging. But I do lead with evidence to support the stage of life you’re in.
Every body is different!
3. Respect physiology
Body-wise training
Many women come to me feeling lost after having children, after years of dieting, after putting themselves last.
We use different tools to rebuild confidence, create routines that work and find the real you again.
With control, comes automony.
4. Re-build identity
Putting yourself first
Practicalities...
I will adapt to an approach that works for you as everyone has a different style. I am restricting the number of clients I will be working with so I can give a personal service, I don't want to overstretch and have too many people and I want to get you know everyone as well as possible!
Consultation
Before signing up to anything, we'll chat either in person or online so I can get you know you better.
We can talk about the challenges you're currently facing or a specific goal you have and establish how we can work together, giving you a chance to go away and think about whether it will work for you.
Programme
We will look at your goals, the way you prefer to work and your challenges.
I may recommend considering online coaching, PT or lifestyle coaching (and this can change over time) to set you up and hold you accountable.
Ultimately though the decision will be down to you and your preferences... and also we can also change/tweak things! You're not locked in!
Set up
Once you pick a package, I will send you a welcome pack with some more information about how things will work, this is for you to look through while I start to get you set up on the systems.
I like to make things as smooth as possible - these will not cost anything on top of the programme price.
-
Informed consent & medical form to ensure there are no medical issues and you're happy with what's being offered from a service point of view
-
Trainerize for programmes/plans
-
My Habit Tracker on google sheets (via website or app for your phone)
-
If needed, an app of your choice to track your food
It's also where we'll set expectations around working together from both my point of view and yours!
Daily messages
Different people like different levels of communication so I will be led mostly by you, but i'll keep in touch almost daily via what's app to see how you're getting on, motivate you and ensure I know about anything you're finding difficult to work through - so you never feel alone
Weekly review
I will set you up to receive a form every week to check in and answer 10 simple questions, I will then use this in addition to your habit tracker to determine if anything should change in our plans and tweak it so it helps us work together towards your goals. This is a chance for you to tell me how you think things are going, how the week ahead looks and anything you might need extra support with.
Monthly alignment
This is an opportunity for us to catch up in a bit more detail, we will take into account all your check in's and talk about the upcoming month (or maybe two, depending on your goal). This is an opportunity for you to tell me whether you wish to continue and for us to talk about any changes that have happened since we first me.
More of a visual learner?
If you're intrigued but can't quite visualise it, then this video might help!
Here you'll find an explanation about the onboarding process and how day to day coaching works, please keep in mind that it's really tricky to explain how personalised this is, so if you're intrigued then drop me an enquiry and we can chat about your goals!
