I’m a Food, Body & Movement Coach helping women 35+ feel better in themselves — without another diet, rigid exercise plan or promise to start again on Monday.

My work today has grown from more than 20 years of working with women, but also from my own experience of what it feels like to believe that changing your body will finally change how you feel about yourself.

For years, food, exercise and the way I felt about my body were far more complicated than they needed to be. I knew a huge amount about health and fitness — but knowing more wasn’t the answer.

Then, in 2016, an accident left me unable to walk and in a wheelchair. Almost overnight, so much of what I had identified with changed.

My recovery took over a year, and that experience changed the way I saw my body, movement and health completely.

I began to understand that looking after yourself doesn’t have to mean controlling your body, following more rules or constantly trying to improve it. And that feeling confident in yourself can’t be dependent on reaching a certain weight, size or level of fitness first.

That experience changed the way I coach too.

My background spans nursing, personal training, health coaching, body image, behaviour change and positive psychology.

But I don’t believe women need more information, more discipline or another perfect plan.

I help women make sense of all the noise around body, food & movement, understand what actually works for them, and build a way of looking after themselves that works in real life.

Because you can care about your health.

You can want to feel stronger, more energised and more confident.

You can enjoy food and movement.

And none of that has to begin with changing the size of your body.

Let’s talk about where you are now, what you’re struggling with and what you’d like life to feel like instead.

We all need someone to give us the motivation, the accountability and be our personal cheerleader. This is what I am passionate about being for you!

My own experience with dieting, over-exercising and a complicated relationship with my body shaped the way I coach today.

That experience, alongside more than 20 years of working with women, is why I now take a different approach to body, food & movement — one that is personal, practical and built around real life.

I help women 35+ feel better in themselves, trust themselves more and find a way of looking after themselves without another rigid set of rules.

Testimonials

The best thing about working with Claire is that she is honest, positive and gives you workable, realistic advice based on her knowledge, experience and your lifestyle.

I started working with Claire because I was at my lowest point, I was completely fed up with how I looked and felt. I’d lost all my confidence and hated my body after having my daughter. I’d been using every excuse in the book as to why it was so hard for me to make changes. I didn’t have time, I was so tired all the time, there was always something that got in the way. Then I’d spend time beating myself up for not doing it all and feeling like a failure. Claire helped me see I needed to make myself a priority and drop the Mum guilt around taking time out for taking care of myself. Within a couple of sessions she completely transformed my outlook. I felt motivated, excited and confident again. She showed me it didn’t need to be hard to eat well and exercise. More importantly I started learning to love myself and my body. My confidence is now through the roof and I feel unstoppable. I feel like me again and not just a Mum. Claire has a kind no-nonsense approach, she really practices what she preaches and is so inspiring. I’m so grateful I found her when I did, it’s really changed my life and I’m so happy I can be a great role model for my daughter confident and comfortable in my own skin.

Through my coaching sessions with Claire I have been able to establish my final goals and break this goal down into small manageable goals. I have been motivated to achieve these smaller goals and the sessions helped me see that I am capable of achieving whatever personal goals in life I may have.

I have truly enjoyed being coached by Claire. We built a fantastic rapport which made all the sessions enjoyable. Claire was great in challenging my limiting beliefs to help me achieve my goals and her questioning technique made me see things from a different perspective. I would definitely recommend Claire as a great coach for anyone who wants to improve their life
