​Over the course of a year, I became largely housebound and gained four stone. The medications caused a range of devastating physical and psychological side effects, and I found myself relying on cigarettes and alcohol because they provided temporary relief from some of those symptoms.

​

Recovering from that experience changed the course of my life.

​

I made a decision that my health would never again be an afterthought.

​

Within months I had lost the four stone, completed my first marathon and went on to run four more. I trained as a Level 3 Personal Trainer and became fascinated by the science of fitness, nutrition, behaviour change and healthy ageing.

​

As a documentary filmmaker, I had already spent months interviewing some of the world's leading experts on obesity, metabolism and weight loss while making a film about extreme obesity. What I discovered was that much of what people believe about weight loss, fitness and metabolism is incomplete, confusing, or simply wrong.

​

Today, I combine coaching, personal training and accountability to help clients improve their health, fitness and energy in a way that is realistic, sustainable and tailored to their lives.

Why So Many People Stay Stuck

​

One thing I've noticed repeatedly is that many intelligent, successful people feel powerless when it comes to their health.

​

They've tried diets, slimming clubs, fitness programmes and healthy eating plans. They know they should eat better and exercise more, yet they often feel confused by conflicting advice and frustrated by results that don't last.

​

Many assume that because they're eating salads they should be losing weight. Others blame menopause, age or a slow metabolism. Some spend hours exercising yet never understand why the scales don't move.

​

The problem is rarely a lack of intelligence. More often, it's a lack of knowledge.

​

Many people have never been taught the fundamental principles that drive weight loss, fitness and long-term health. As a result, they end up feeling frustrated, confused and increasingly critical of themselves.

​

My role is to replace confusion with understanding, and then turn that understanding into practical action.

My Approach

​

Every client is different. Some want to lose weight. Some want to get fitter. Others want to build muscle, train for an event, establish healther habits or simply feel confident in their bodies again​

​

Together, we create a bespoke programme based on:

​

• Your goals

• Your current health and fitness

• Your lifestyle and schedule

• The habits and beliefs that may be holding you back

• A realistic action plan that works in the real world

 

We focus not only on what to do, but also on how to make those changes stick. Because lasting change rarely comes from another diet or fitness plan. It comes from understanding yourself, understanding what works, and having the support and accountability to follow through.​​​​
