Work with me

I help women 35+ feel better in themselves and build a healthier, more confident relationship with their body, food & movement.

You might come to me because you’re tired of dieting, fed up with how much your body affects your confidence, unsure how to look after yourself without another rigid plan, or simply feeling stuck.

My coaching is always shaped around you.

We may work on body confidence, your relationship with food, movement, health habits or the wider beliefs and patterns that are keeping you stuck — but the aim is the same: to help you feel more confident, trust yourself more and create a way of looking after yourself that works in real life.

Body Image

You do not have to love your body every day to feel better in it.

Body image coaching is not about convincing yourself that you look amazing. It is about reducing how much power your appearance has over your confidence, choices and everyday life.

If thoughts about your body have stopped you wearing certain clothes, being in photos, going to events or fully enjoying your life, we can work on changing that.

Together, we look at the beliefs, messages and expectations that have shaped how you see your body, and help you build a more balanced, respectful relationship with it.

Because your weight, dress size or reflection does not define your worth — and your life does not need to wait until you feel different about your body.

Coaching

Sometimes you know you want to feel better in yourself, but you are not quite sure what needs to change.

You may be struggling with body confidence, feeling stuck in a cycle of dieting and starting again, overthinking food, using exercise as something you “should” do, or simply feeling disconnected from looking after yourself.

Our coaching gives you space to understand what is really going on underneath those patterns.

Depending on what you need, we might work on your relationship with your body, food or movement, your confidence, health habits, beliefs, boundaries or the parts of life that are making it harder to prioritise yourself.

I draw on body image coaching, health coaching, intuitive eating, positive psychology and more than 20 years of working with women — but you do not need to choose a “type” of coaching before we begin.

We start with you, where you are now, and what you want to feel different.

Personal Training

I help women find a way of moving that feels right for their body, health and life.

You might want to feel stronger, improve your fitness, return to exercise after injury,training for an event, feel more confident knowing what to do, or need specialist support with pre- or postnatal training.

My approach is supportive, personalised and never based around punishing your body or exercising to earn food.

Movement can support strength, energy, health, confidence and wellbeing — and it should also be something you can actually enjoy.

Together, we focus on what you want your body to be able to do, how you want to feel, and the kind of movement that works for you and your life.

PT spaces are limited, so please get in touch to ask about current availability.

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.

Dal

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
